haha read what i said. We won nothing, but we still have a huge crowd every week, never struggled to sign big players, and up until recently held a decent position in the premiership.
i heard the other day, no team top of the championship at christmas has ever been promoted 10 point lead down to 6 and the baggies have a game in hand....
Bollocks...it was something like 6 times in the last ten years the team top at christmas hasnt been promoted
And being a mackem what would you know about the Champions League? Fair enough, we've had some pretty bad times through recent years but I'd far rather had seen my team challenge for the Premiership, beat teams like Juventus and Barcelona in Europe's top competition and play exciting attacking football, than spend millions and millions of pounds and achieve absolutely nothing. Not a thing.
So if Sunderland qualified for the Europa League you wouldn't class that as an achievement? I'm sure Steve Bruce would argue otherwise.
Which is why up till very recently you've been the Premier Leagues biggest yo-yo team, you'll never finish in the top two, and never take part in the champions league.
i know loads about the champions league, i watch it everytime its on and everything! Yes, newcastle have played in the CL, yes you have travelled to the nou camp etc etc but for fuck sake, this was fucking years ago ! let it go man and concentrate on the big promotion push! geordies absolutely love living in the past
I suppose you're right like. I've never heard a mackem want to talk about the past 10 or so years at their football club.
