Cracking day out and a brilliant result, cant believe it was 5 years ago

The commentator clearly doesn't know many of the Sunderland players names.

I noticed that, I don't think he knew many players names

"And it's Sunderland down the wing. Crosses for Sunderland. And Sunderland scoree!!!!!"

Ok, maybe not that bad.

[Super Kevin Bremner!]

LOL's a plenty that day, one of the biggest being Aggro doing press-ups whilst Kitson ran up to take the penalty.

[From Despair To Where?]

Early kick off, utterly outplayed for 75 minutes, 2 quick goals and cue mass exodus of ever so passionate and loyal Mackems with 10 minutes to play.

Mad drive to Morpeth to my mate's house via the bookies for the National in a car covered in Wearside spittle, win £50, stop off at a petrol station on the A19 outside Middlesbrough on the way back down South only to be offered outside by a still disgruntled Mackem some 6hrs after the game had finished, much to the amusement of the various assembled Smoggies. And people wonder why I think Sunderland is populated by inbred morons with a collective IQ in single figures. To be honest, in my 5 years hiking up and down the M1 between Reading and Yorkshire, of all the service station football morons that I have encountered, I'd say about 90% have been from Sunderland.

Pretty bloody good day and bar a Kitson hat-trick against West Ham, the one highlight of the last 5 months of that season.

Had to endure the Metro back to Newcastle with scowling Mackems glowering at us, and was then bought drinks by friendly Geordies at Newcastle station who loved the fact we'd turned over their rivals.
