gateshead famous for: sage baltic angel of the north athletics stadium newcastle famous for: see above
How longs Gateshead been it's own City like? It's like saying the Stadium of Lights not actually in Sunderland.

Newcastle- 43,904 fans vs Sheffield Wednesday Sunderland- 41,179 fans vs Chelsea (aka recent Premiership champions, recent Champions League finalists) You could be forgiven if your stadium didn't hold anymore than that amount, but to be honest it's an absolutely shocking attendance considering the circumstances. You have no right to slag off our fans when you consider that yours can't bother their arses to even turn up to watch argurably one of the top 3 teams in the world.
Hahahahhahahaha keep em coming vent your anger lads Winning in Div1 is better than geting spanked every week in the Prem is it not?
pike, please read this, then cancel your internet contract. This was actually taken from a makem message board too, bear that in mind In the last 25 years NUFC: Have played in the top division in 21 out of 25 seasons Have maintained their top flight status for 16 consecutive seasons Have been relegated twice Have NEVER been promoted to and then relegated from the top flight the following season Have challenged for the top division title Have finished in the top half of the top division on 9 occasions. 5 times in the top 4. Have played in Europe in numerous seasons (Champions League and UEFA Cup) Have consistently signed proven Premier League players and top Internationals Have a bigger share of the huge North East fanbase. North of the Tyne must be 90% Newcastle at least. County Durham and South of the Tyne is more evenly split. Whereas in the last 25 years SAFC have: Played in the top division in 10 out of 25 seasons Have maintained their top flight status for a maximum of four seasons Have been relegated on 6 occasions; 5 from the top flight and twice with a record low points tally (once for the Premier League and once for the top division) Have been promoted to and then relegated from the top flight the subsequent season on no less than 3 occasions Have managed a best finish of 7th in the top division - two occasions; the only two occasions when a top half finish was achieved Have never qualified for/played in Europe Have only just (last two seasons) started to sign proven Premier League players and top internationals on a consistent basis Nearly achieved the dubious honour of being the only team in English league history to go an entire season without a win at home (finally won the final home fixture which was a replay of an abandoned game SAFC were losing) Have set other records for fewest goals scored in the top division etc Nearly became the worst team in English history by going on a 17 (approximately) game losing streak. One more loss would have matched Darwen's record stretching back to the 1800's
I bet he's wondering why he ever started this thread Pike, I ask thee - where are your 'worst comebacks'? you've asked for ours & have been peppered with responses. You seem awfully quiet
