Aye ye reet been to Elland Road loads of times, they're fuck all like us, they'll actively go looking for it. They absolutely hate us as well, probably second behind Man Utd, and are utterly convinced they're at least as a big club and support as we are. Probably the biggest delusion in football. Good job Leeds wasn't on a Friday night, because it would've been carnage. It's always the same in summer there are far far more offs no one can be arsed to fight in the winter, most the big wars start in summer time. My little tale was from a Good friday night match that Sky arrranged. Both set of fans were completely pissed out their minds. I heard of a few of them roaming the car park handing out a punch here, a dig there to any Geordie unfortunate to be in their path, also heard the same Yorkshire squad approached a couple of vans that parked up but unfortunately for them picked the wrong couple of vans and got kicked all over the car park by some meat heeds from wor neck of the woods.

Pup's brother is the same, he's nearly been thrown off sites for constantly abusing the mackems. My brother hates them but reckons he's seen nowt like it the way GG goes on with them when he was grafting fro him, pelting half clemmys at them on the sly when their passing and pissing in their milk in the bait cabin. Drove past Puppy the younger the other day. what's he been doing? skin and bones and pasty looking. Don't tell him I said anything, though.

I hate Leeds. Nearly got a right kicking one time down there. I ended up surrounded by a load of them with this kid who was about 14, I was about 22. Anyway, good natured chanting from both fans soon turned nasty when one of the cowards who must've been in his 30's pushed the kid off a table we were standing on, real hard man stuff. Another Goon offered me on, I thought I'm fucked here as I was surrounded by them, I thought I might as well go down with one of them and was about to hoof the Yorkshire bastard in the face as he was a perfect height from my elevated position when the West Yorkshire police came to the rescue, great I thought, until he grabbed my coat from his horse and dragged me 50 yards away before giving me a 'tap' on the back with his truncheon and said 'fuck off you little Geordie cunt'. He probably saved me from a hiding but what a pack of bastards they are. Watch yourselves down there, they will attack someone on their own.

There's a family gets in the club I sometimes drink in, they all worked in the yards, the brothers, the father, cousins the lot, absolute characters to a man, I'd pay a tenner just to sit there and listen to their craic especially when it comes to Mackems. I've never known anyone to have as much hate for Mackems as these. The Father who's long dead was getting his telly fixed by a kid from Rediffusion when the Fatha calmly says, "Where you from, son?" after hearing the Mackem twang. The kid barely got Sunderland from his lips when the fatha picked the tool box up with one hand, grabbed the lad with the other and said, "nar son, nee Mackems in this hoose" and chucked him out.* Apparently a Geordie would struggle to get work in Wearside but we'd let them work over here, and when their yards went first they flooded the place and didn't play ball with a lot of issues at the time. *The Mother wasn't a happy bunny when she went to put the telly on for Coronation Street to see the back of the telly still in bits.

Can't stand the fucker these days, spends too much time blowing his own trumpet. Touche, CT. I sent a text to my mate, told him I said, 'How, Nobby son! Ah fuckin' loved the look on Wenger's sourfaced fuckin' dial when you bent in that one from the edge of the box, fuckin' class, mate!' Of course I said no such thing. Or did I?

Sammy's gonna get ya! I've played against him before and lets just say he was so shite that only Newcastle would try to develop him. Fucking Mag vermin, fucking hate yee. One of the better ones, too. They can't help themselves in the end though. They are an oppressed people, bitter as fuck. Ask any Tyne shipyard worker about them then stand well back from the blast.

If Jesmond, I'd take on 100+ no bother. Walker, maybe 10. Some cheeky fuckers having a go at Walker, here, like! I'd struggle with 3 kids from Jesmond. Hearing their little posh voices constantly whining 'Mummy' in a high pitched tone would have me down on my knees gripping my head like Monkey from the Jap show, 'Monkey' when Tripitaka? was tightening his gold band on his head for being naughty. The kids would then run in and take advantage.

Just seen the Nobmeister himself, Senor Solano, whilst I was out with my daughters. Normally would never bother anyone and give them their privacy but I thought, fuck it, its Nobby Solano, man, you've got to, so I had a little bit craic with him.

Anyone who kicked off is an arsehole. But as for the rest, Christ man, it seemed to me a lighthearted joke in a daft friendly. I was young once. They'll have a pint with their mates when they're older and say, 'You remeber the time at Darlo when we went on the pitch cos Ameobi scored?' We've all done it, man. Knickers are getting twisted for fuck all. Like I said, I don't include anyone wanting bother in this. A bit like the Mido business, much ado about nothing. I wasn't there to be honest, so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt which'll be the exact opposite to the usual anti-NUFC mob.

Ranger or Nick? Take your time with the answer, Deadas.

The only nice thing I could say about Ranger is I'd miss him more than I'd miss the OP if he fucked off to another forum. (Please!!!)

According to the tweets Journal reporter Mark Douglas was making last night, he will be discussing Shane Long in the paper this morning. Are you stalking this Douglas character, CT? Apart from your posts I've never heard of the bloke. Honestly.

Had a can with his curry then watched the national lottery quiz show. He's fooling nobody, to be honest.

NYPD have today announced the arrest of Kermit The Frog. Sources claim the Police raided Kermit's apartment after PC World reported obscene material on his laptop. Police say its the worst case of Frogspawn they've ever seen.

Chewed through a fair few I'd guess. (trying saying that fast or drunk!)

All the best, mate. (Same to Craig's who I missed).

In all honesty though, what can you expect UEFA to do? They've put this limit in place but must surely have known something like this would happen? Eithad could argue that they are a legitimate company and they feel they want to tie down a contract with a club who will be winning PL titles, CL titles and will give them huge global awareness. How can UEFA prove otherwise? They'd be better saying to clubs such as this, we're promoting you to a new super rich league where you get to play other super rich clubs and there's no fuddy duddy rules about the amount you get from whomever and no tapping up rules to be adhered to (as long as its tapping up fellow super rich club's players, that would be allowed in this league). Football has spoiled itself by being too prefessional and the market leaders have tried to cement their place by keeping ahead of their competitors with the advent of the CL, anyway, another couple of clubs get sugar daddies, which is their way of breaking the glass ceiling that the G14? set up in the nineties. It's all bollocks. Football and clubs can't grow in this climate, football should be about different eras and different clubs competing. Around twenty years ago 13,000 watched a PL game at Stamford Bridge, five years previous, 19,000 saw Paul Goddard get the winner at Highbury for Newcastle Utd and 28,000 saw Man Utd beat us at Old Trafford. These days things are now more permanent and set in stone. Your names not down, you're not getting in. Almost can't blame Man City in a way. Next, Aeroflot to sponsor CFC and Banco de Espana to sub Real Madrid for 500M Euros.

And so it begins. Man City get a £400M sponsorship deal through Eithad, a company owned by their owners. Next, it'll be Chelsea getting £200M through some vague company linked with the Russian. UEFA's rules always there to be got round.

Cellotape. It gets you high.

Tiger Woods reckons he changes his irons once a year. How times change. A good set of irons used to last a nigger for a lifetime.

Well she fucked them unions alright and thanks to Maggie you've got employment agencies all over the shop making money out of poor cunts just trying to make a living and companies hiring and firing on a whim as its been made so easy for them, (most of these blokes are earning far less then permanent employees). Maggie also privatised the utilities and made a quick and easy buck and encouraged people to buy shares and get mortgages so they'd have have to work no matter what, (hence the poor buggers working for these agencies on little more than the minimum wage because they'll be chucked out their home by the bank if they spend time looking for a proper job). Basically a company can do whatever the fuck they like, I should know, 2 bastard days notice of a change in shift pattern and £260 a month pay cut and a completely lacklustre response from a joke union. We've the best economy in Europe I believe, or we had the best economy in Europe. We've also got the worst working conditions and work the longest hours and if told to eat shit, must sit down and open wide and swallow it all. The lengths this fucker went to nail the Miners was unreal, Policemen made fortunes as she more or less matched every striker with a cunt with a baton and a licence to use it at some picket lines. She had the backing in the media of utter cunts like Kelvin Mckenzie demonising any fucker who had sympathies to the miners or was anti-Thatcher. In the North-East orders for ships never seemed to go to Tyneside as there was no way it could gain any votes for her up here if she or her party did. Unemployment in the North-East was a 'price worth paying', her mate Tebbit told people like my dad to 'get on their bikes' and look for a job, when people affected by closing down their industries complained they were just 'moaning minnies'. She was no friend to the working man nor the North-East. Get in there my son, give the dying face bitch it where it hurts Post of the decade from Walkerville's answer to Wolfie Smith Seriously, Howman is completely correct about all this. If you in any way get your hands dirty for a living in this country you're treated like fuckin shite and it all goes back to Thatcher. Superb. Simply superb. I also blame her directly for the creation of the " underclass" in this country. By not replacing the social housing she sold off, the housing stock was , and still is, woefully inadequate.This led to sink estates growing where once thriving communities existed. I've said before, and will say again, when she goes Downstairs to meet her hero, I'll be making a trip to piss on her grave. Good point, Fist.

Anyway, to further expand on Maggie and her legacy, you need to ask one more vital question, Nick, do you think a film about Mrs Thatcher is a good thing or a bad thing?

She gets a lot of sympathetic plaudits for the Falklands campaign as well does wor Maggie. The thing is the Armed services were down to the bare bones as they were radically cut down by her party and the truth is, a better armed garrison at the Falklands and the Argintenians never have attempted it in the first place. We were so weakened that we seriously got out jail down there, one more ship going down and the plug would've been pulled, they were there for for the taking.

Is that the sound of a penny dropping, there, Deano?
