NUFC mocked by Sunderland 'star' - but joke's on him as he's battered by Mags in the comments
Sunderland attacker Chris Maguire has told the club's Twitter page that he'd never want to sign for Newcastle United - a comment that's amused a few on Tyneside last night.
Maguire, who is one of their most popular players at the Stadium of Light, was doing a fan Q&A on Sunderland’s Twitter channel - and took a cheeky dig at ourselves in a desperate attempt to get one over their North-East rivals.
Asked by a Mackem if he’d rather sign for us or Rangers, he said this:
A few brilliant responses then emerged from Newcastle fans in the comments section that followed, with many being unmoved by the fact a League One midfielder (which some hadn't even heard of!) didn't fancy a move to a Premier League side:
"You'd be as well asking me....I have as much chance as him and I'm a lorry driver!"
"We’ve all heard of Newcastle and Rangers but no one knows who this bloke is....Swear I seen him on Netlifx"
"Funny thing is he'd leave #SAFC in a heartbeat to join either #NUFC or rangers tomorrow if he was good enough... Which he isn't.."
"This is the **** who celebrated like he scored the winner at Wembley against wu u21s.."
"Imagine being so bad that you look at a player that scored 2 goals in 24 games for Bury and say, "Yeah we'll have him"."
"I've read through every reply and still cant work out who the heck he actually is? Presuming a lower league footballer who played against our youth team last season in the cup.."
I have to admit even I would struggle to name the Mackem’s team these days, which shows just how irrelevant the unwashed have become!
Who is Chris Maguire kidding, he’d sign for us in a heartbeat if the opportunity came along - which it thankfully won’t!
