I believe it is derived from Greek mythology, where paedophiles on the hunt for children would shout "Ha'way the lads" at the top of their voices. For whatever reason, Sunderland fans have adopted this as their own.

The other confusion I have with the North East vocab is why they always refer to themselves as an individual as 'us' rather than I or me. Maybe they all have multiple personality disorder, it's very odd.

That's a sobering thought........... ............its' also not true :-) How many years has it been? You are higher in the league and for the majority of it played better football whilst retaining a nasty streak. But yesterday you deserved to lose, should have conceded more and had a red card too. You should still have enough points to stay above us, but it could be very close. 11 years, still shite like..... The PL years feel long time ago for both of us

11 years, still shite like..... The PL years feel long time ago for both of us your hanging in there just about aren't you? What's your run in like? It's an OK run in. Dropping 2 points against Huddersfield was a blow, but we have WBA (a), Watford (h) and Preston (a) - all winnable or losable We are down to the bare bones - we brought on a 16yo striker on Tuesday when we were chasing the game and now looks like Batth is going to be out now so the back four is even more patched up For what it's worth I don't think we are ready for promotion, so not shedding too many tears if we don't make 6th. May sound defeatist, but after watching 10 years of scrapping for 4th bottom in the PL I don't really want to go up until we are mature enough to compete.
