winning a major trophy this year.

Maybe we should mark the occasion and enjoy it while we can, before Newcastle start buying trophies with dirty money.....

I am dreading the day they land a major trophy.
May have to relocate.

50th. 50 year is tautological.

Both won much more than we have.

Don't you worry... BBC Look Not-Our-Part-Of-The-North-East, and ITV News Tyne (and only 20 miles north of the) Tees will have a 90 minute special on 'The Day Sunderland Won The Cup'.

Just not in living memory for most!

Just not in living memory for most!

You'd have to be about 100 to remember Newcastle winning the top league, and 80 odd to remember Sunderland winning it.
Probably over 50 to remember Sunderland winning the cup and over 70 for the jawdees.

They've just shown a clip of it on Tyne Tees

Don't worry next year they'll be celebrating the 20th anniversary of our League Cup win.

20 years where the hell has that gone!
