Sunderland AFC

 

[Dexter]

Nyron.

 

[Mackem Messiah]

True Geordie

The death of the long ball game, bar the odd exception. (Mags)

After all the hours spent watching teletext, listening to talksport going around the grounds, or watching soccer Saturday waiting for the yelps of Charlie Nicholas, it's f***ing class that I can now watch every single league game of the season.

BPL would be on a list of worst things like Walt

 

[DJ Mackem]

Me

Laughing at bellends that use 'against modern football' when they're under 25

This. And I'm 19.

 

[Cockney Mackem]

When something notable happens in the game, it is commemorated with gifs and MS Paint

The Balls, (Footballs). More aerodynamic, Bang goes the 0-0

Cool shades of green grass on the pitch

Aye, the grass looks amazing early in the season. ( shame they spoil it by playing football on it)

Not having to worry about disposable cash as the club take it off you

Brazil v Zaire is still the greatest moment in ms paint history

Aye, the grass looks amazing early in the season. ( shame they spoil it by playing football on it)

Roker was unreal for that man. My first memory of an actual game in the flesh was how green the pitch was

 

[Turnip from the Tip]

Match day prices
All seater stadia
Games of Monday and Thursday nights
Match day prices
Music accompanying goals
Diving
Match day prices
Brandishing of imaginary yellow cards towards opponents
Kick off times and dates changed at a couple of weeks notice
And finally...match day prices

 

[gocatss]

Tom Cowie has no more influence

 

[cluffy]

Wickham

 

[JKs canoe]

[Kevin Arnott's right boot]

The pyramid, allowing teams to come up from the lowest reaches ie Wimbledon

While I take your point regarding clubs gaining promotion to the league, it hasn't yet helped any club progress to a high level in the league, unlike the elected sides of the 60s and 70s.
