Owls friendly canned

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

.COM are reporting that the proposed friendly with Seff Wed has been cancelled due to our hoped for continued presence in the InterTotty. Wednesday are actively looking for alternative opponents. Hmm - I seem to recall a team not to many miles distant who aren't involved in European competition (nor have they ever been?) right now.

If you're referring to our nearest and dearest neighbours Screach, you'll probably find that they have appeared in a European competition back in the mists of time. Recent archaeological excavations at Roker Park suggest that they qualified for the Cup Winners Cup and the excavations have been carbon dated as circa 1973. It is thus a fact that Sunderland boasts one of the longest unbeaten runs in European competition history, as they remain unbeaten since their exit in round 2 of that competition.
