Ladies & Gentlemen, for your reading pleasure…

So how can we continue the fun? Simple, let’s have a laugh at their misery.
A lot of you are aware that I visit quite a few ‘blogs, fanzines and forums belonging to other teams, and most of the time I go on there with the sole purpose of winding people up. It works a treat, and I was really looking forward to going onto the Sunderland sites, the ones that I’m not banned from, and rubbing a bit more salt into the wounds of their fans. It turns out that I didn’t have to do anything except read their own self-pitying remarks, some of which I have collated into this article for you.
First up I visted Sunderland fanzine, ‘A Love Supreme’. This is where Louise Taylor made her name before being picked up, for some bizarre reason, by The Guardian. Interestingly, if you haven’t read the match report from The Guardian, penned by Louise Taylor herself, you can do so here. It’s quite possibly the shortest match report ever recorded, especially for a match that contained six goals, a sending off and a penalty. I wonder why…
Anyway, where was I? Ah yes, ‘A Love Supreme’. If you have a look on their ‘letters’ page you will see some amusing accounts of events on Sunday.
One common theme is that Newcastle don’t get any credit, which is to be expected really, but one letter took things a bit further and blamed the referee for the entire result. Another one, which I will quote below, manages to get a bit closer to the truth. We have had to listen to how massive Sunderland are for a couple of seasons now, and that cockyness hit them squarely in the face last weekend. They will think twice before thinking like this again;
“Before the match, looking at our team on paper you’d think that there was no way we could go leave this game as humiliated as we did. Frustratingly, for the first time in my years of supporting Sunderland, and like many others, I actually believed that we were going into the derby the stronger of the two sides. A solid defence, a creative midfield and a strike force valued at near £30 million, one of whom had just been nominated for the Ballon d’or. It seemed to me that leaving St James’ Park without at least point was extremely unlikely.”
Oops…..
There are some belting letters on that site describing the pain they are going through, and it is lovely to read if I’m being honest.
Now for a demonstration of outright cockyness, let’s head over to ‘Ready To Go’, which is arguably the biggest Sunderland forum on the net. Have a read of this to watch a Mackem getting egg on his face, and I don’t mean because it has dribbled out of his mouth either!
Alternatively, to see their tiny aspirations crushed you can have a look through their equivalent of our match banter articles here.
All in all it has been a fantastic week for us, and laughing at the inbreeds from down the road is ensuring that the feel-good factor continues.
If you happen to see any whopping comments from the mackems, please feel free to share them so we can all laugh at their misery and misfortune.
After all….
We’re Geordie boys (and girls) and we take the piss….

I feel like crying. This stuff is brilliant :). Definitely bookmarking these sites for when a result goes against us, pretty sure it could cheer me up out of anything.
