As well as the fact that their ultimate legend (Stokoe) was born, lived all his life and died on Tyneside having captained NUFC to cup wins.

Bobby Robson was quoted several times as being a boyhood NUFC fan even if he was part of a generation where a lot of people went to both teams matches and may have done so himself but they won't have it and just because it was Lanchester, claim he must have been one of theirs. The cunts.

When Rangers had Smith and Souness I'm sure they did a thing which Celtic probably have done at some point as well where they would buy good players from tteams further down the pecking order just to stop teams like Aberdeen etc from buying them and challenging them. I think Chelsea are starting to think like that with Toscin last year and now Pedro. Maybe that was the idea with Sancho as well but it didn't work out.

Don't forget the shitting off cliff edges ...

I enjoyed bits and pieces but still much pop and too many Winehouse wannabees.

If its true he only wanted to go there then fuck him.

When I've been reading all the references to this bloke, I've been thinking he plays for Atlanta as in the team we sold Miggy to which made me think they've got a nerve plating hardball, This has just made me realise it's Atalanta. I blame the heat.

Possibly Fantastic arse though.

Alanis Morissette still belting them out - bit fuller but still has it.

I do wonder how their reptile brains cope with "County Durham" places south of the Tyne having NE ones - probably it's the shady businessmen/Magedia/Look North's fault.

I'll admit to not having read all of the details but it looks to me like the "concessions" they've made on the benefits cuts make them even bigger cunts than before if such a thing is possible. If you're already disabled then you can keep your benefits but if you get hit by a bus or get MND from now on then you'll get the reduced levels. Lovely.

Yes but that's history washing and goes against the "people's club" narrative.

"Classier" gets me every time - they genuinely believe it as well.

Even without considering Villa who'll hammer them, the way they think they're going to get points off West Ham, Palace and Brentford suggests a rude awakening

I went there for a midweek game in 83 when I was at university in Bradford so I went with a posh kid from Gosforth and his mate from somewhere in London who was an arsenal fan who as you can imagine were complete fannies. We got a local train back to Leeds and it had its windows put out with bricks which was nice. (Referring to Barnsley).
