Why is it that for the 5th time this season i have had to try to justify my loyalty to Newcastle United and be threatened with violence because i allegedly sound like a Mackem. Because of the constant abuse myself and mates have received it is getting to the stage where i think is it worth it. Just because i dont live and wasnt born in Newcastle doesnt make me less passionate about my club. 3 of my mates got hit on sunday for sounding like mackems.
