If only Fulham had top-flight Americans. I have an extreme dislike for McBride.

Mulli

So what about Peter Crouch to Sunderland?

Stout

McBride just had a game that will really help them fight against relegation, though. I agree he's otherwise pretty washed up.

That would be a major coup for Sunderland, but he needs help up front. Does Sunderland have a good contrast striker to play next to him?

I was hoping Crouch could play with Jones. WhadoIknow?

Stout

Sucks that you guys lost and are still in danger (so they say--I doubt you're really in danger) of falling to the drop zone. I'll take a 0-0 draw at Fratton Park. Portsmouth have been a menace at home, and we could have won that game, but I'll take 0-0.

Pretty funny story. She sounds like a great gal!

'I'll marry you when Newcastle win the Cup'
By Andy Hughes
The Sunderland Echo

Football rivalry is getting in the way of marital bliss for one couple.

Newcastle United-mad Alex Fay says he will only marry the love of his life if the Geordies win the FA Cup.

But his fiancée of three years, Nicola Main, a Sunderland fan, said she'd rather not have a husband if it means the black and whites continue their dismal run of trophyless seasons.

The couple, who have been together for 14 years, even had a tug of war with each other over which team their five-year-old son Alex would support.

The nerves are frayed in their Hexham Avenue house in Hebburn in the run-up to this week's derby match.

Nicola, 32, a nursery nurse at Luke's Lane Primary in Hebburn, said: "Alex promised he'll propose to me when Newcastle win the FA Cup, but I told him not to bother. I'd rather not if it means they don't win anything!

"I think I'd be waiting for a long time, anyway – they've got no chance."

Alex, 36, and his son will be cheering on Newcastle from the Gallowgate End when Sunderland travel to St James's Park on Sunday afternoon.

But Nicola refuses to set foot in the 52,000-seat stadium, and will be cheering on the Black Cats from her living room.

She added: "I always go to the game at Sunderland, but I'll never go to St James's Park.

"Our house is always a bit edgy before a derby game, and you can tell everyone's a bit nervous.

"If Newcastle win I'll make sure I'm not around when they come home because I'll never hear the end of it."

Alex, a construction worker for KD Scaffolding, has gone through the turbulent times of his beloved Newcastle United since standing on his tiptoes in the Gallowgate End at the age of 11.

Twenty-five years on, he's still living the roller-coaster life of a Newcastle fan from the same stand – with Alex junior sitting right beside him.

He said: "There's plenty of banter in the run-up to the big game, but none of us want to get too cocky because we'll never hear the end of it if our team loses.

"We're pretty confident for this one, though."

Newcastle have had two near misses in the FA Cup Final, in 1998 and 1999, since last winning the trophy in 1955.

But the trophy cabinet at St James's Park has looked pretty bare since then, and Nicola may be waiting a few more years to become Mrs Fay.

Awesome story. Of course, the chick's the Sunderland fan (girlie team) and the dude's a Newcastle fan. Of course the son will follow his father's footsteps. Heck, if she tried to force him to be a Sunderland fan, the government would probably arrenst her for child abuse

That's funny...I feel pretty good

Don't worry, I won't rub it in too bad when the Toon Army push you further towards the drop zone. I'm used to us beating you already

If I had the wings of a sparrow,
And an arse the size of a crow's,
I'd fly all over Saint James',
And s*** on the bastards below.


If you hate Newcastle clap your hands,
(clap, clap)
If you hate Newcastle clap your hands,
(clap, clap)
If you hate Newcastle, hate Newcastle, hate Newcastle clap your hands,
(clap, clap)

I'd love to see Keano punch a Mag in the face.

Speaking of fights, here is my favorite Newcastle photo:

When was the last time Newcastle lost to Sunderland? Oh yeah...November 18, 2001. Ouch!

Oh, and as for songs:

Hark now hear the Geordies sing and Sunderland ran away,
Newcastle rules forever more because of New Year's Day!

On New Year's Day, 1898, Sunderland fans set fire to St. James Park, and the Geordie fans stood on the burning terrace and taunted Sunderland fans with songs as Sunderland fans ran away! True story, I swear it! I found this while I was looking for the last fixture you cats won, which took forever to find, I might add
