6 FA Cup wins ( but last was 1955 )
1 European Trophy - Fairs Cup(UEFA) 1969 (last trophy)
so Newcastle 11 major trophies, but ages ago!!
Sunderland 6 league titles (but last was 1936)
2 FA Cups ( but last was 1973 )
so Sunderland 8 major trophies.
Sunderland fans could argue that they last won a big trophy less time ago (a whole 4 years difference), and more league titles.....
but not a sniff in europe, and less trophies overall, Newcastle have also in recent years finished runners up in the premier league, fa cup, qualified for europe, and finished above sunderland in the prem more often, slightly bigger ground, so pretty fair to say Newcastle are the biggest club.
no mention of how many relegations from the premiership? records for lowest points scored, goals conceded etc etc
bottom line is, both are mediocre and destined to be so for years and years to come bar an occasional flourish. Anyone who thinks other wise is deluded!
get used to it!
just read this entire thread....... Newcastle fans are better at spelling and simple english grammar it would appear also
