They refuse to acknowledge that Gascoigne was any good for us in the same way we refused to acknowledge Gabbiadini & Gates were any good for them.

 

Swings and roundabouts tbh

I worked there for four years, shagged one, of about 500 mackems I met, five were decent, and only two of the blokes were good lads.

 

I'm surprised at this Stevie, I had you down as a straight bloke. Still, takes all sorts, eh?

Different level surely - those two failed pretty miserably in the top flight but were decent 2nd division players - see a few of ours from last year.

 

(I realise we only finished 8th with Gazza but still)

Gates was a top player with Ipswich to be fair. I read something in a dipper publication when he played there in the 1980 for Ipswich, he came out and the whole kop started a huge chant of Eric Gates, Eric Gates, Eric Gates, Eric Gates, and he was made up so he went over to them and applauded them enthusiastically, but just as he did that, the Kop went "YOU'RE SO FUCKIN UGLY" hehe poor cunt.

Say absolutely nee more about you like. Say nee more.

So you were shagging a lass from there. Does that make you a Mackem lover?

Try this thread, Jesus wept: http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=506742

 

One even admits its the greatest feeling he's had since they won the cup in 73, how depressing it must be to be one of them!

 

It says so much about the mackems that we made them feel that good. Not themselves. Not their teams performances and achievements. We did.

 

I really can't get into that mindset at all and it befuddles me that anyone could be that spiteful and twisted about a rival football team. Dislike? Sure, but another teams season shaping how you feel about your own? Weird.

I was shagging a mackem last year.

 

Dumped on her birthday via facebook though.

 

Get back with her a few days later? you know, the save money on a present tactic?

 

So what did you do? Yell her that her relationship status should say single? :unsure:

Actually it was the day or so after.

 

She got the hump with me for not doing anything for her birthday weekend - although this was due to her going to a gig in Manchester on the Friday and going out for dinner with her parents on the Saturday so I dunno what I was expected to do. After a bit of an argument over the phone, she later cornered me on the facebook chat thing and continued it, accusing me of not giving a shit about her.

 

Which I was unable to deny. I hadn't bought her a present tbf. :unsure: Was well shot of her, pretty fit and dirty but a right spoilt brat.

 

Can you believe she tried to refuse giving me my coat back that I left at hers though? Bitch! :razz:

have you ever seen a bigger bunch of nobheads in your life?

 

Yep. Mancs/Bradfordians.

 

Mackems I don't particularly mind.

They're very like mackems I find people from West Yorkshire. That one where the mother told the brother to kidnap the daughter beside Leeds, to me that had Wearside stamped all over it.

got to agree with you about mancs. bit of a sweeping generalisation like but whenever i've been to manchester, they've always done their best to live up to the swaggering, stupid haircut, liam gallagher sterotype. i went to see the arctic monkeys at the old trafford cricket ground a few summers back and i must have seen at least 6 or 7 fights kick off during the day, all by gallagher clones. there was a violent atmosphere in the air all day, like it could kick off at any time, people pissing anywhere and chucking bottles of piss (with no tops on) towards the stage and where we were in the pit. pure savagery.

 

i knew a few mancs at uni that were good lads but they all seemed to seek each other out and live in large houses made up only of mancs, it was weird. so houses of 5-6 mancs that didn't know each other before they met at uni. i met plenty of sound geordies when i was at uni but i didn't make an extra effort to live in a big shared house with them. weird behaviour.

You mean Sharon Matthews? Ah, good ol' Dewsbury. Thank fuck that place doesn't have an LS postcode.

 

A few dodgy parts in West Yorkshire but Leeds is actually quite "posh" as far as Yorkshire goes.

I actually quite like Manchester as a city, I'm a fan of quite a few Manchester bands and it makes a good day out with some decent places to visit and generally the place has character. But I just can't stand either football team or their arrogant fans, and the general Manc attitude of "we're from t'fookin best citeh in t'world, ya narratamin arkid!" is pretty lame. Also the fact they have the nerve to take the piss out of people from Liverpool calling them all criminals when Manchester statistically has a higher crime rate.
