It really isn't small time, to those who think it's irrelevant, it isn't the end of the world but it pisses most long term fans off. I'd put very good money on a poll of long term supporters being more bothered by this than say, someone from Belfast. Someone from Belfast will get 'United' rammed down his throat and will just accept that they're United, we're just Newcastle. Anyone growing up here, when the main media outlet for NUFC always referred to us as United will not be so quick to appease the thought process of saying, 'it doesn't matter'. I can say, at a match, at some point I'll shout out, 'Ha'way United! Get into the fuckers!'. Don't bend over and take it. My United play in black & white, A Mancs United play in red. The media are 100% to blame for this and it never used to happen as much as it does today. There's no excuse for anyone who isn't a Red calling a game featuring us v them as United v Newcastle, it's just disrespectful. Any Mag doing it wants their fucking hammers, OOTer or not. By the way, There's two Sheffields. I can't remember Sheffield Utd being universally called United by all and sundry to differentiate them from Sheffield Wednesday. Sheffield United usually get called 'Sheff Utd', same as how most Geordies will call MUFC 'Man U' or 'Man Utd'. What makes fucking Man U so special that people with no emotional attachment to them call them United? The fuckwits and ex-players in the media just hammering the name since the early nineties have helped this. I support United, but they don't play in fucking red so please don't patronise me Mr Media Man. Thanks.

Obviously.

He does it it on poiporse, man!

I think we need a poll. Something where you state how much/little you mind it and your location and years actively supporting NUFC. Last time I tried a to do a poll I ballsed it up so if you've time on your hands be a good chap and start a poll. Anyone who does this, I'll see alright when I get my new glasses.

I don't get how you think those comments belittled Jill, intentional or not. (Obviously not in this case). She mentioned what she did to lose her weight and then at the end said she kinda felt smug when she saw people moaning about not losing weight whilst stuffing chocolate cakes in their faces. So I basically said it wasn't hard to work out how to do it which is the point she made. I certainly didn't belittle her. Since I've been out of work I've put a few pounds on, I haven't changed my excercise, have probably let my hair down a little bit more during the week but the main factor is not spending 12 hours on the go like I did in my last job. I probably didn't realise just how much this would've helped when I was losing the weight. I should be starting my new job next week so I'm sure that'll help get me back to where I was at. I'd got down to about 11 stone 1-3 pounds. Now I'm 11 stone 4-7. I'm 5"9. Anyway, well done For losing 4 pounds, CT! (Wacky's glue bag tits jibe was a bit strong, funny, but a bit strong!)

Jill proving losing weight, or putting it on, isn't The Krypton Factor. I've put about four pounds on this last few weeks which coincided with me being out of work. Not too worried about losing it.

Lets not forget though, they do have the famous Sunderland film association, to be fair to them.

Anyone who'd ever been on the Leppings Lane end about this time will tell you that a few officers/Stewards standing at the tunnel entrance directing fans to the side terrace which was out of view to anyone unfamiliar with Hillsborough, would've avoided this situation. Sounds like a senior Police Officer telling his superior something they'd want to hear, to be honest.

When they're called it in a game v us it fucking boils my piss. Can't understand any Mag not being bothered when you've grown up we're we've been referred locally as United. Their fans saying it doesn't bother me. Other fans doing it need to stop blowing smoke up their arses to be honest.

Just got a hold of the latest review from 'The Mackem Folksinger'.

He went down a storm at his latest gig, to be fair....... .........The SAFC Widows and Companions Club thought he was a really talented and handsome young man.

For a non-Geordie, maybe, Carroll though must be thinking he's onto a loser after coming through the ranks here and people being behind him as he was just a young'un where at Liverpool he's going to be under more pressure from the media and their average supporter from Cornwall expecting him to score a boatload as they challenge for the title.

Steve Brewce would definitely be 'Terry Fuckwit'

Of course both players are going to be under more pressure. Andy Carroll never cost a nut and came through the ranks at his home town club, any player would feel a bit of pressure going to a club for the fee he has where deep down he must know they're a pretty average team with about as much chance of winning the PL as RVP has of me buying him a pint and asking for his autograph. Souness though, does not just do the normal ex-Liverpool player thing by bullshitting them up, no, for good measure manages to have a pop at the club where he was a failure. You're right, it isn't the first time he's had a dig at our club and for all the success he had as a player, if he is such a 'winner', it must rankle with him. So, to sum up, he's a fucking Mug, 'no question about that', as Fergie would say.

At least their fans got the chance to moan at an opposition player for a change. What did their team do for 94 mins in the small moments of the game when Krul didn't have the ball to waste? I've never known a bunch a various players through the years be as petulant as some of the ones they've had through the ranks. If the PL was the Viz, they'd be 'Spoiled Bastard'. Spurs can be 'Cockney Wanker'.

Thing is, this is Arsenal down to a tee. The biggest set of huffy, whinging bastards in this country. And that's just when they win!

E-mailed TOFFS to ask what they were going to do regarding anyone wanting numbers on the back of the 1984-6 shirt. Also added this pic...... ....... and said would it be like the original? Just got this back. (I'm thinking of asking for a discount for this free advertising I'm giving them, by the way).

@ Stevie I hope you're right!

I'm positive we'll get beat Stevie. But we might just sneak under their radar and get something. Just don't fancy it to be honest. I strongly fancied us to get something at Old Trafford so I'm not being doom and gloom for the sake of it!

:lol:

I'd end up looking like Terry Nutkins if I did that!

Aye I was going to add something about the umbro logo. I think they only started appearing from 87/88 (alongside the white patch). The season before that I think the number was of the same style but without the umbro logo and white patch. 1984- Keegan's shirt We'd have a much better home shirt if we got red numbers back, mind. No virtually all black or all white on the back of our shirts.

I think most had the umbro logo on the bottom with a white patch made by umbro specifically for the players but not included in the shirts for sale. I'll have a look for the earlier ones.

The top I'm tempted to get is the new '80s TOFFS ones, went in last week to have a look and the material is far better than the club one, they'd also have a plain red number if you're right? Still prob wont bother with a number.
