Sunderland AFC

[Renz]

Highlights of the Birmingham match.

Should have been a penalty against Connolly.

The goal by Chops was class. I'm so glad we got him instead of Nugent.

Ha ha ha! Boro are *****. I wonder if Mido is having second thoughts?

Great result! I hate Brum. Never leave a match early when Sunderland are playing.

The boutiques aren't as good as he thought?

 

[Stout]

I'm pretty good with English slang, but what is ha'way? Is it kind of like thattaway?

I'm pretty good with English slang, but what is ha'way? Is it kind of like thattaway?

Good question.

 

[English on tour]

Good question.

Ha'way is quite a common term used up in the north east of England. (though in Newcastle its Ho'way a big dif for only 10 miles).

i suppose it means 'come on'...as in 'come on lets go' might be 'ha'way lets go'. Though to be more accurate it would probably be 'ha'way man let wuh gan' (come on good fellow ley us go now).

or 'Ha'way the lads' being 'come on chaps'


To the rest of the country the North East all sounds the same but to some form up here you can tell if it Sunderland, newcastle or Boro they are form with ease. There are some very heavy accents with miles of each other that whilst saying the same thing can be quite different to a trained ear.

The term Geordie is used for someone form Newcastle but the whole north east tends to get lumped in with having a Geordie accent if someone down south hears you talk (prob becuase it a bigger city more visitors etc.). Call someone form Sunderland (or Boro) a Geordie and you might weel end up with a black eye though as the term for someone form Sunderland is Mackem. Mackem being a term taken again from the way we speak and as Sunderland had the shipyards in England the term was taken form us saying with regard to the ships that 'we mackem and you takem' or 'we make them and then you take them'.

I had to look up Geordies when Chops said he was a Geordie when talking about how he thought it was great that the Mackems were starting to love him now.

On the BBC show, Creature Comforts, there is a mouse with a Geordie accent. Great stuff.

 

[Renz]

Looks like we will be catching Man Utd and Liverpool at the right time. Man U will be without Rooney and I think Christiano Ronaldo as well. Steven Gerrard will most likely be out when we play Liverpool.

First things first though, gotta beat Wigan. That will be huge if the Black Cats can get a second win in three games. Two years ago it took us until January to get that second victory.

I think a red card is a three game ban. Not positive though.

It somehow surprises me that he was carded, but I didn't see what he did.

 

[Compa]

I think a red card is a three game ban. Not positive though.

I can't find any definitive literature, but Wikipedia says that a straight red card is an automatic three game ban (subject to appeal); a red from two yellows is one game.

3-0 loss - what a shocker!

keanos comments after the game were interesting - seemed to think a couple of players were not up for it and the losing whitehead was a major blow.

even with them getting two penalties 3-0 against one of the div's weakest teams is not good news.

Roy's comments were the only good thing to come out of that game. If some of the guys can't cut it at this level then Keane needs to cull the herd ASAP and get some new players in. We need to get this train back on the winning track.

Yeah, three points against Wigan would have been big.

Fox Soccer Channel in Wisconsin was supposed to have this game on Sat morning. Instead we got the replay of Reading/Everton. I couldn't believe they lost 0-3. Took away the bummer of them not televising.

Beer!

Hey all, after an exhaustive search, I decided to adopt Sunderland as my footie team in England. Looking forward to getting up before the sun to watch our match against the Reds, but I was hoping to get some help first.

Do we have an official beer? For instance, no self-respecting Mackem would drink Newcastle, I know. But, what do Sunderland fans drink?

I just wanted to be sure I was getting pissed on the right beverage (if there is one).

Cheers, and thanks for the help.

not really

it used to be Double Maxim (hwich i think you can still get somewhere) which was made by Vaux Brewery who used to be our shirt sponsor and was on the banks of the river Wear in Sunderland.

it closed down a dew years ago and i think another brewery started to do it. Just pick some crappy lager and you will fit right in mate.

great choice though fella - let the good times roll

Keano is only about three and a half weeks older than I am? Sheesh.

Steven Gerrard has been ruled out of Liverpool's game against Sunderland due to his broken toe.

The Reds captain suffered a hairline fracture in the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round first leg against Toulouse.

However, he played through the injury in last Sunday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea.

Liverpool play Sunderland at the weekend but Rafa Benitez will have to do without Gerrard at The Stadium of Light.

The midfielder sat out England's friendly against Germany and will also miss the Saturday lunchtime clash with The Black Cats.

Mohamed Sissoko, Javier Mascherano and Lucas Leiva are all vying to replace the England international in Benitez's starting line-up.
