Other Games 21/22: Talk about Actual Football
Howay replied to Ayatollah Hermione's topic in Newcastle Forum
Everton are fucking dross. They offered absolutely nothing and were cut apart almost at will by fucking Burnley. I think Burnley actually had more possession as well . 2 wins and 10 losses in their last 12, both wins at home and they lost away to Norwich so I honestly don’t see any particularly winnable games for them in their fixture list. Watford will outscore them, and Brentford could go either way other than those two it’s a bunch of hidings. -
Man angry at Newcastle player for having a dig at the rival fan base. As if their players don’t do it all the fucking time. Saying all that he’s still better than Pearson.

Mike Dean is fucking loving this isn’t he -
I just don’t even get what their point is? Because Elton John is a bigger star than Sam Fender? They do know Sam Fender isn’t the only person to do a concert in Newcastle aye? In any case, same as the he’s not actually a Geordie/NUFC fan/is actually a MLF arguments he still rinsed them and they’re still wound up about it . They’ll be desperate for Elton to say something about Newcastle, but the whole of Newcastle would shrug and get on with their lives.

Blatantly had no clue it was happening, they started frantically googling gigs in Sunderland once they got angry about it.

Pickford man -
It’s weird that they claim to be classy, moral, and upstanding yet their forum, in between moral outrage for everything related to NUFC (inc. Sam Fender, Look North, and BBC Radio Newcastle) is littered with threads like the below: https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/women-drivers.1575772/ Genuinely like stepping back in time, good old dangermows stepping in with science to confirm that women simply are disadvantaged by poor judgement of distance. Presumably he thinks women shouldn’t bother with schooling as it might give them a headache from the learning, better to leave it to the men. Thick cunts. They’re also still patting themselves on the back that Sam Fender definitely isn’t a Geordie, presumably because he’s from North Shields (unless they’re still adamant he’s from South Shields) I guess being born 10 miles from St James’ park means he’s not a Geordie, and therefore ineligible to support NUFC - Fwiw I’m from North Shields and if asked would say I’m a Geordie, but if I was to be told by some Uber Geordie like Stevie that I wasn’t one I don’t see how it would impact my support of NUFC . Glad they got to the bottom of that though. They can all get back to making more sweeping generalizations of groups of people that aren’t them now.

I obviously love the idea of Everton going down, but as you say I just want the season to be done now. The plus is even if they do stay up they have no money and will keep Lampard, so they’ll be farting into the same pillow they have been this season down the bottom end as they have a front row seat to us climbing the table. They can come 19th next season with firefighter Sam Allardyce steering them off that cliff as we come 6th.

Seems it was you maniacs.

“DON’T YOU KNOW ELTON JOHN IS COMIN MARRA”

I look forward to the mental gymnastics if we go on to win an FA cup in the next few years. I’m sure it’ll be a meaningless trophy “all the top lads are focused on the Champions League now” “that’s it marra my best mate Phil Foden (MLF by the way) told me it’s like winning a raffle no one gives a fuck”. They could create an algorithm for that fucking place at this point it’s that predictable.
-
Some maniacs on Twitter are actively hoping that happens . I know it would be funny for Everton to go down, but the sooner the bottom 3 are adrift with nowt to play for the better.
-
This is from a 162 page thread (started less than a month ago) all about slagging us off, but aye it’s a real shame and unexpected that a Newcastle fan would slate them
-
Has Sting ever received the action they asked Amnesty International to take about him? It’s like we’ve long said, they’ve got annoyed at this, now are making things up to be annoyed about and then fewming. It’s like watching a hamster on a wheel tbh, not sure at what point they’ll work it out. It’s fairly likely Elton John will make a joke about Newcastle in his massive Sunderland gig, it’s something every musician tends to do, but they’re choosing to lose their heads over a bloke that’s actually from the area doing it , to the point they’re genuinely lying about where he’s from and now questioning if he was ever a fan of football as if they knew the bloke growing up. Meanwhile they wank themselves into a coma when a life long Oxford fan has a pop at us after being gifted them.

Fair play that he was named after the level of his patter.

Generic small time football blather thread FOREVER
Howay replied to Sonatine's topic in Newcastle Forum
Spot on. One of my mates went off the deep end with all the COVID stuff, that then led to “I’m not anti vax but the Covid vaccine is dodgy and I won’t have it”, non stop posting about it, and now he’s saying he won’t ever get another vaccine again. He’s also full on with questioning everything the media say now, it’s been a gateway to a lot of other conspiracy bullshit for a lot of people and aye as you say a wanker with a platform like Le Tissier has helped that along. -

Not sure if the Telegraph article showed the tweet as it was making me log in but here it is: -
Oh aye: But Andy Dawson steered clear in case one of the Mags whipped up in the Geordie embarrassment would assault him. “It’s soooo embarrassing Trippier mentioning the lads, just enjoy your night” type comments, meanwhile they frothed out the mouth everytime “the Don” and Methven threw insults at NUFC despite being 2 divisions below us Always a claim going in eh. “He’s not from North Shields, deffo South Shields MLF too but switched to mags because of the media cabal proper slates the mags when you see him at lads games”
-
As AH mentioned the bloke lays it on pretty fucking thick, he appeared on BBC in a Newcastle traccy, one of the lads in his band is always in an NUFC top, and a lot of his merchandise uses imagery close to the Newcastle brown ale logo, at what point did these mackems think there would be absolutely nothing about Newcastle in his show??? The songs the tweet is going on about loving are basically all about growing up in North Shields ffs, but aye total fucking shocker he banged on about Newcastle. What’s the lad going to do next? “Got on one of the buses with Newcastle fans to Norwich away, as I absolutely love going to Norwich, they never stopped talking about NUFC and laughing about our 8-0 loss to Rotherham the night before, most embarrassing state of a bus trip ever”. Andy Dawson is Bob Mortimers mackem mate from Athletico Mince fwiw. He’s painful on it like, you can absolutely tell when it’s the bits he made up as they’re mostly not funny - he’s ok doing his parts in the stuff Mortimer makes up mind. Fuck all chance of recognizing him as Fish says.

Some of their games get shown here on ESPN’s streaming service. You have to dig pretty deep into the menus, literally scrolling past the options for Championship, Eredivisie, Serie A, SuperLig (iirc) and others to such a level that when you do find them they should put a pop up saying “are you fucking sure you want to put this shit on?”, also the games have no commentary on them. But still maybe Americans will become MLF’s.
-
Be sure to tune into Ceefax where you can catch ALL the third tier action.
-
I’ve never seen him play so I’m not going to get upset, there’s a ton of good players out there that improve us. The mackems can do some fucking amount of mental gymnastics like, we may or may not still be in for him, but if we say we are and Milan beat us to him that means we are targeting a pool of players that a side currently top of Serie A (and finished 2nd iirc last season?) want. Is that something anyone would be upset by? We were struggling to get Hamza Choudrey on loan and getting outbid for Ajer by Brentford last summer ffs.

He suited us with where we were, he thrives in a disorganized side where he can provide the occasional spark, but in an organized side he will struggle unless he adapts. Imo that’s the harsh reality. I’d love to see him adapt and turn into a top player for us, but there’s been zero sign of it so far. If you look up the dribbling stats of PL players he’s top by a mile, basically double that of Bernardo Silva, is he genuinely more skillful on the ball than Silva? Or is it because he goes on a run whenever he touches the ball despite it often not being the best option? He’s no doubt been electric at times, and been a bright spark in dour sides, but in a team full of Bruno and Trippier type players he wouldn’t be helpful. The goal he scored against Burnley was the player I would love for him to be, beat a man passed to Fraser, brilliant run and got on the end of a Fraser cross for a goal, the issue with him is he very rarely makes that pass to Fraser. This isn’t to say I’m itching to see him gone, but if he was sold and replace by someone like Raphinha I wouldn’t be upset.
-
Can’t wait until he’s back. It honestly gives us a lot more chance of picking up points against Arsenal too (unlikely that’s we need them by then mind).

Aye, I think the lad you’ve highlighted also had a topic that was different from others, which was interesting, and he had a passion for it. You also can’t just leave your job prospects entirely and say you’re a full time content maker, if you look at any top podcaster, YouTuber etc they all will discuss a point where they took that leap into making it a full time thing and they were all pretty big by that point - TG had been going for years iirc when he did that, the lads on the football ramble still mostly work other jobs despite the fact they’re now at a level where they employ full time staff. Pearson (Blades, Wraith etc) would also get less flak if they could take flak, if they actually had any knack for this or did anything interesting or different, and didn’t act like they were doing everyone some massive favor “how dare you have a go at me don’t you know I do this full time, I’ve dedicated my life to this” . They also overvalue the time it takes people to give them shit, most people scroll through twitter on a 5 minute break, have a pop at them and go back to work. TG went viral for his rants, whatever your views on it they were different to a lot of other stuff at the time and often were funny, he then branched into other things, some that worked some that didn’t. As Tom has mentioned in the past there’s lads like Emil who have a knack for interviewing, he will get reactions and discuss things in a level way, he will go onto sky and be fair take criticism and present a viewpoint he sees from speaking to fans. Meanwhile Pearson films U-23 games, which lets be honest there’s little interest in - he presents this as showing dedication but no one cares, if Wraith gets on sky he pushes himself, he’s ridiculous and presents his view as some leader of the fan base while also acting like he has actual involvement with the ownership. I know typing this out was redundant as they’ll never see it, but it’s a realistic way of how I see it. We’d all love to be in a position like True Geordie is now, but the fact is many of us, me (Pearson etc) included, simply don’t have the knack for it. They need to realize wanting it isn’t enough, and don’t write off all criticism as ‘haters’.
