That's a bit extreme calling the club you support a joke. A bit strong saying other fans laugh at us. Guess what? We laugh at other clubs and fans, it's what football supporters tend to do. Also, define history, Sunderland fans laugh at the last time we won a trophy, yet quite a large number of their support would never have seen their own team win a trophy, in fact, until the other year, many had never seen their side defeat us at the SoL/Roker......Ever! I was born months after the last time they won the cup and I'm nearly 37! Fans of Spurs, Everton and a whole host of other clubs come out with this kind of shit, is there an official cut-off point where history doesn't matter and a point where it does? Anything past 1960 doesn't seem to count to Spurs fans, (they did the double in 1961), anything past the late 60's doesn't count for Leeds fans, (wonder why that is?). Do you see the point I'm trying to make here? Leeds fans don't 'drone on' about their past glories, do they, 'sniffer'? Anyway, was Alan Clarke your hero?

The only thing I miss about Leeds is we nearly always used to beat them home and away, and it was a localish away day in a reasonable town. They really don't like us though, our catchment area in the North East is so wide it spills over in to theirs, they're not a major rival but there's a degree of dislike for each other on both sides. They view us arrogant and are threatened by the fact we're a much better supported bigger club, we don't like them because they're odious Yorkshire tramps, the worst of Yorkshire in my view. As Leazes Mag pointed out they have 10 years of history and that's them. Leeds it's 1/10th the football city Newcastle is. You're a big admirer of the mighty Whites, aren't you Stevie? One of my neighbours have two sons, both about 20-22. Both support Leeds. They would have been young kids when Ferdinand, Smith and Viduka were there and they got to the CL semis. Also a couple of blokes who get in the club I sometimes drink in are Leeds fans, (Although the blokes never go to their games.) The older blokes were kids when Bremner, Giles, Hunter et al were winning stuff. It's great to see such a lack of moral fibre get it's just desserts.

Penelope Cruz- with or without slap :lol: Good shout. If you haven't seen the Spanish film, 'Volver', then I recommend you do. It's a canny enough film and Penelope is seriously fit in it.

It probably should, you're spot on, mate. Whilst watching 'Lie to me' with the Missus I have urgings to do things with 'Foster'. If I said "I'd fucking love to go back to your place' she'd know I was telling the truth. Kelli Williams

Preston actually filled nearly a quarter of the East Stand at that game too. The Northampton game was the first time I'd ever seen an away fan on the Metro on a match day.

For some reason this thread puts me in mind of the cup tie we played at WHL in 1987 when twelve thousand went to London for a fifth round tie. Anyway, I remember Actor Warren Mitchell, (Alf Garnett), who is/was a Spurs fan being interviewed at half time on the radio and saying the Spurs boys could learn a few things off these Geordies on how to support a team. Just thought I'd mention it, like. Unlike Stevie, I'd definitely say Spurs were bigger than Chelsea, although Chelsea did bring a lot for the 2nd division game in '84 which was the biggest amount of London fans I've seen at SJP. (Mind, they haven't had much competition to be fair). I can recall Spurs twatting us 5-1 with some really good players in their side who won the UEFA cup the year before. 23,000 watched their stars give us the run-around.(That included our away support.) Also remember Preston and Northampton filling the Leazes in the mid-eighties in the FA cup. Oh, this 'big 5' shit from the eighties. A title from some knob at ITV when they had the first division rights for a year. Unless you happened to be playing one of their chosen 5, you wouldn't get on. Granada and Thames ran 'The Big Match' so maybe no surprise these clubs were never off the telly.

Well said that man!

I thought you'd put someone off Playschool or Blue Peter, Kev. Well done you. (Not my cuppa tea, like). Nah, I'd give it to her like. What, your virginity? Don't be daft. His local Catholic Priest took that at his 'choir practice'.

Not within several light years of borderline. She's alright, man! You misunderstand me - I would kill several people for 2 minutes with her - I meant whether you would or not wasn't even a question. She's a bit classy.

Saw a show with all the old Blackadder actors talking about the show and I had a thing for Miranda Richardson as a teenager, and even though she's older she still looks good to me and that posh accent she has is a definite turn on.

Defo. Defo borderline, defo would!

Aye! Right, the other day when I posted that I attached another picture of this news bint, but it clearly didn't work, so.. ..there we go. Nothing borderline about her. Getting on but still a little cutie. Aye. Definitely.

I agree your support was brilliant this year. Although I always said if it was a one season thing and ytou was doing well you would be. The test would have been if you had stayed in the championship for a bit. Do we like Chris yet or not? I think for a long time the general consensus among the fans has been that Clipboard is very well liked, but competence and confidence are different things. Personally I like the man very much, prior to the Championship season and getting relegated he was the only man to work for the club who came through the shit storm...shit free! He's very much part of the club now and I hope he gets given the chance and I hope he gets the respect he's earned because there's plenty other clubs in lower leagues and lower premier league who would snap him up. Good to see him get the respect his demenour through the whole affair has deserved. I was sure I was going to come back here and find more fawning over shearer / Ketsbia / Laurent Robert or some such. Glad reality is finally hitting home. Fucking hell, man!

Paul Potts?

Super, smashing, great. Have a speedboat . I'd say Jim Bowen+Matt Smith or whatever the new Doctor Who actor is called. Well they're the only celebrity Blackburn fans I can think of. Take your time now, it's a tough decision to make........I can't blame you for taking the BFH instead of taking the gamble......nothing in this game for two-in-a-bed etc, etc. Stevie spoiled things by putting his pic up, in my opinion. You could imagine him going to his Grans for a cup of tea and some Werthers originals after his church choir practice juding by the cherubic face on his avatar. Not the Stevie I imagined.

Struggling to sell Season Tickets/Memberships? Yet another reason to despise these cunts running the club. I've sat in these seats for the last couple of years and prefer to sit up there. Last year I wouldn't renew in case the the twat grabbed the ST sales money and sold, so used a long distance Mags ticket for the games he couldn't make and paid on the day when he was up. This year I wasn't going to bother with a ST as I'll miss about 5-6 games through work, it would prob be cheaper to get the tickets as and when. Now, though? Why the fuck should I have to pay £20 just so I can pay on the day to sit where I want? Fucking useless greedy bastards. I'm probably going to have to get a ST but feel like just telling the cunt to stick it and keep my money from going to SportsDirect. It's a disgrace like. Sacrificing the atmosphere for cash. You'll get people ringing up asking for tickets in the singing section and they'll be told they either have to pay £20 just for the privelige of being allowed to buy a shit £20 seat in the heavens, or pay £35 for a far better seat with a better view. So the corner that generates all the atmosphere in the stadium will end up half empty for 14 or so games. The amount of times these knackers who run our club shoot themselves in the foot is quite surreal.

I don't know what DannyCL looks like but being a Londoner/Spurs fan can imagine everything he's done is bigger/better then all of us, his house will be classy, he'll earn more money, he'll be cool as fuck, be far more English than most of us, will talk a glass eye to sleep and will have an almost encyclopedic knowledge of how Spurs are a glorious club brimming with history whilst at the same time knowing that it's a 'well known fact' that NUFC used to average only 7,000 when in the lower leagues before Keegan managed there. I've probably missed a few things there, mate. You can put me right. P.S. Whilst I'm on about non-Mags, Billy Castell will be a younger version of Jim Bowen.

If that means im chunk from the goonies i can live with that, obviously I have a totally different avatar on the "secret board" with my true identity Okey Dokey! I can picture you, then.

Don't worry about the beer and the money, I'll see you alright when I get my glasses, Percy.

He looks like Brad Paisley if he lost the hat and took up a desk job. I realise that probably doesn't help. I know what you mean. Meenzer is that bloke with the guns to his head, Alex is definitely the Cookie Monster but Kevin is 'Kevin the Teenager' from Harry Enfield's show. "LOOK AT ME!!!!!!"

I've met Percy Street and Paddocklad. Two sound blokes. I like having the odd look on here and sometimes get a laugh, but it's definitely a bit cliquey, put it this way, I don't feel part of the 'toontastic club'. Not saying that's a bad thing or a good thing, just my impression. Neither do I. There's an element of "a naa yee, yee naa me, a naa yee n yee naa me nananananaaaaa ooh" about it, but I just think fuck it. It's somewhere to talk about the toon, and there's plenty of people who post on here, who like me only know a few people personally who can come on and just say what they like. We're in the age of the internet, I don't buy the mag anymore because myself and at least 20 others onhere have as much insight if not more than the contributors on there so I think what's the point? I mean someone like yourself, remember Iasked you aboutthe picture of the pitch invasion at Forest in the mid 80's straight away you knew. That's what I call a toon fan. I mean you're saying you don't feel part of it, what do you want a blow job of the Trent Posse? People like yee are what this board needs. Local knowledgable old cunts who can give insightful words without being patronising. If they're female and half-decent looking then, err, yes! I wasn't moaning about it, just stating that many of you seem to be pals already. P.S., I'm not much older than you so 'old cunts' is a funny one, Stevie. I'm very much in the late 20's scrapin in to early 30's bracket. Big difference that to late 30s heading straight for mid 40s Well the Wife's 32 so if you're only as old as the lass you're feeling..........
