You're tenth in the all time table.

Happy to help.

Oh, and we're twelfth.

History is last Saturday. For all that glory you got from a 1-0 home win, funny all the papers can talk about this morning is a wonder save your goalie made from an almost certain goal by Bolton. Get over it all, nobody here is losing any sleep.

Speaking of cocks, I reckon with their love of large audiences, dogging must be at epidemic proportions in the North East.

Oh are they? How so?

That's you and Jackburn banging on about trophies won before Adolf invaded Poland.

Anything recent then?

Sunderland have won six top-flight titles; one of them was even after World War One, albeit before the invention of television and the jet engine. You've also won two FA Cups.

Meanwhile, your good friends up the road from you have won four top-flight titles and six (count 'em) FA Cups. So by your own penis-measuring stick, they're far more successful than you. Go on, say it. Newcastle are a much bigger club than Sunderland. Acceptance is part of dealing with it.

Oh and Newcastle have also won a European trophy. European trophies, to refresh your memory, are contested between the continent's top teams. I understand your mob had a brief attempt back in autumn 1973. We've had a couple of attempts much more recently, since the invention of the internet and everything. When or if you qualify, maybe you'll find people thinking you're a decent-sized club. Till then, you're as average as the rest of us.

Because size and success isn't measured by the number of idiots stood round the pitch, black-and-white pictures of moustachioed wax-haired corpses, it's measured in league positions and achievement. Football, eh? It's a blatant meritocracy.

What have Newcastle got to do with it? :?

But they're not more successful as far as success goes because like I said, we've won 6 league trophies, they've won 4. As far as their "European cup" win it was hardly the coup you're making it out to be. If you delved a little deeper you'd have found out that they didn't even qualify for the competition but were invited. Oh and it was the Inter Fairs trophy. A competition which involved a one city, one place rule and up until after the mags won it, it was a competition for cities who were involved in a european trade show!

The potential's there for Sunderland and Newcastle to be very big. Perhaps that's why you seem to have a chip on your shoulder? I've never seen so many bitter posts after our win against you on Saturday. I can't imagine what you were like after we tanked you last season.

Youwhat, Youwhat, Youtwat! Sunderland had the best times of their lives this season. And it's about to come unstuck. Once old Bruciebonus gets past Christmas with his red hooter glowing you'll understand what a crowd of oxygen thieves you lot are. I bet you're from South Shields really. Go on admit it. So bloody arrogant when Keane and Sbragia were trying to manage and still as arrogant now another failure is in charge.

We haven't got any chips except in our excellent chip shops. A loss to us is obviously of far less proportion than a 1-0 homer is to you. What are you still doing here? Shouldn't you be on the Mancs site telling them how big a club you are and how many you're going to put past them? You're not doing much of a job selling Sunderland here. Game over sunshine, away you go and mind the roads; so easy to slip and look a real fool these days.

Forgot about Sbragia. S'pose he was our fault too.

Its 2 years since we beat them 4-1 at theirs. You'd think the position they're in was somehow semi permanent. Unless you weren't from Sunderland.

And everybody knows Newcastle are a bigger club flower.

Do we have fans that go on other prem clubs sites talking bollards about being 'massive' or anything less embarassing?

Hope we don't.

Rearrange the following sentence into a famous quote or saying:

You know after we drew 2-2 with Bayern Munich, no Bayern fans were coming here with elaborate treatises about why they are a bigger club than us. Any guesses why?

Nor did they complain about how many away fans we took.

I'll take a few:

- They're German and would prefer not to visit an English messageboard.

- They felt sorry for you.

Because they're obviously not as big a club as Sunderland. Keep up :D
