Are Newcastle a Big Club?

[sniffer 0]

In your mind, I am.

 

But we all know your mind is fucked up.

Shut up you old Yorkshire boring cunt. The evidence all over this board of you being a Leeds fan is undeniable and compelling.

I find it rather odd that you don't understand the point I'm making.

 

I aslo find it odd that you think that "we" aren't that bothered about winning silverware and are more interested in some package deal whatever that might mean. I'm not in that "we".

 

Where did I say that?

 

Your point was that you don't care about history, you care about the here and now. My point was that your statement was an odd one. As if we could move into a flatpack IKEA stadia and suddenly become a club swimming in trophies.

 

I'll restate my point, because it's clearly gone over your head. Nobody started supporting Newcastle because they were definitely going to win trophies. They support Newcastle because they're from the area, or their family supports the club, or have another emotional attachment to the club. They didn't look at a list of league sides and pick us out because we're going to win trophies.

 

Of course it would be amazing if we started a period of unrivalled success, but I'm not going to stop supporting Newcastle if we continue this barren spell, now am I?

No running battle, just a tigerish determination to expose lies. If I can find two of his posts in 5 minutes, we'll see what the jury's verdict is had on.

Well Sniffer for one, that's the first give away actually the name "Sniffer" but that's not the sentence decider.. had on.

We were a big club, we are on a slippery slope and it hurts

 

It will get worse, fast if nothing changes soon

Where did I say that? I have no idea how you came up with that.

No, my point is that I'm tired of people saying we have a great stadium and fantastic support. I couldn't give a fuck if people are impressed with the ground. I want them to be impressed with the trophy cabinet..... wherever it is.

[Guest You FCB Get Out Of Our Club]

Simply put, Leeds had one of the best teams I've seen.

 

Easy to say we are a bigger club providing you don't examine the trophy cabinet too closely.

What our 11 trophies to your 6.

 

 

We might have big crowds and a canny ground but everything else about the Toon is a joke.

 

Some of the drivel you come out with is the reason why other fans laugh at us.

Fred Truman couldn't have put it better himself.

 

 

Leeds won trophies. And in my lifetime. Who gives a fuck if we can only get 40,000? Bear in mind they have cricket and rugby, but so what? They won trophies.

 

FFS, Stevie thinks Derby are a bigger club. They are shite now, small crowds if that's your yardstick and haven't won what Leeds did. I'm not a Leeds supporter but be realistic.

 

Are Leeds bigger than us? Or have a more impressive history? No. Not if you want to consider the pre-war era. Boer war that is.

 

Get in! Leeds up.

No further questions your honour.

Problem is, Stevie. All of that is true.

 

This was in the discussion of what makes a big club, and you think its an impressive stadium and a big crowds. I don't think that s enough and said so. THese factors plus winning trophies makes you a big club. Leeds did that and as much as you hate it, it happened. That doesn't make me a Leeds supporter by stating the obvious.

Leeds did that???? 6 trophies in their entire history and you're going on like they some sort of Real Madrid. I know where your butter lies mate, I bet you have a LOVE T'LEEDS HATE MUNICHS doormat as you walk in the hoose. You were and are the only person on this board who was happy Leeds come up, just admit it mate, you've come up from Yorkshire about the time of the miners strike settled here and decided Tynemouth is a better option than t'Batleh, and your heart is t'Leeds. Just admit it for fuck sake.

Stevie, I like your enthusiasm and harmless delusional state of mind.

 

But, sad to say, once again, you are wrong.

 

As I mentioned on another thread, three years in Bradford and the only highlight was watching Leeds at their peak which made them a team I like. Second to......Yes you've guessed it.

[shackbleep 0]

The argument does my head in because there are so many factors to consider that it's not really tangible.

 

Newcastle United are a well established club with a considerably large fanbase who've had periods in the past where we've been amongst the most successful in the country.

 

Are we a big club? To me they are and they always will be as I'm a one club person. To everyone else I really couldn't give a fuck.

We're currently a big club punching well below our weight under the current ownership, as was the case under McKeag/Seymour/Westwood etc. As was the case when we were used a feeder club by Spurs most notably in the 80's, it's come around full circle.

 

There were even periods of transition under the previous regime [KK - Robson] where managers failed to capitalise on what KK/Fletcher/Shepherd/Hall Jr [and Hall Snr as a figurehead] built, and with the right managerial appointment the recent Robson era could have been resurrected.

 

Even under the previous regime there were hiatus' where we were seen to be the nation's sleeping giant, and you could largely put that down down to first team management - and not throught the lack of ambition & effort at board level.

 

Whereas under this lot [Ashley's ownership - though his pennypinching/cheap stall-trader business ethics & idealogy applied to club running, and idiotic decision making] it's slipped a step further................. we're a big club that is slipped into a proverbial coma.

T'Leeds Rhino's? Where am I wrong? More to the point why am I delusional? I've never said we're a big club, I just said we're a bigger club than Leeds and we are. Marching On Together ring tone you have I would put £100 on it now.

 

I knew all along you were a Leeds fan, just call me John Nettles pal.

I agree, playing wise we are much better than 1991 time, but even then we knew Hall would come in and save the day eventually, we're more or less in limbo in terms of being a top club, till we get a proper owner.

[Christmas Tree 5107]

I used to have an admiration for Leeds like when I was a youngun in the early 70's. Partly because Don Revie used to live next door to us in Boldon and people were always going on about him (I dont remember him) and I suppose just for the likes of Joe Jordan, Lorimer etc.

 

Suppose its the same in most generations where you appreciate the quality players of the day.

 

I also think theres something special about Newcastle v Leeds. Not sure what it is, but is has that something that Boro just never came close too.

Can't see anything to admire about them even then to be honest. Kicked teams off the park, won trophies through intimidation, arsehole manager, arsehole players and even worse supporters with the worst racism record of any team in the UK. Anyone who's ever been to Elland Road knows exactly what they're like, and that is FUCK ALL LIKE US. They are bad cunts, I can only imagine what they were like in the 70's and early 80's.

[sniffer 0]

That's your problem. You don't know what they were like because you didn't see them play.

 

You seem to think that football was always played by the tarts that go down at the drop of a hat and roll around like they've been shot that we see today.

Look it's not my fault I'm a young cunt and I didn't see any football first hand in the 70's, but I've seen enough footage of T'Leeds You-nightid in the late 60's and early 70's to know they were little more than mildly talented thugs. The name "Dirty Leeds" didn't just get banded around for a laugh did it? Never heard of Dirty Derby, or Dirty Everton, or Dirty Forest did you?

[sniffer 0]

As for fuck all like us.

 

Tell that to Bob Moncur, John McGrath, Ollie Burton, Pat Howard. I can still hear Ernie Hunt screaming when John McNamee kicked him six feet high over the track.

 

FFS. Nowt like us.
