Like Man U, most of their fans have never ever experienced any form of bad times whatsoever so they live in a false world of sunshine and rainbows. They deserve a few years of mid table mediocrity and worse (relegation) to make them realise just how lucky they have it.

That's the thing. Plus the people who committed to 3 years up front are most likely the type of supporters who would have gone this year, relegation or not. Yep, I agree.

'Their' and 'There'.

Couldnt be more happy For Spurs!

How many 3 year tickets were sold though? Anyone got the figures for this? Can't believe that the numbers were THAT significant. Could be wrong though.

Noticed a ton of 'fairweatheres' back at the last few games. Yesterday I had 4 blokes sitting directly behind me, well spoken, in their late fifties/early sixties. The way they acted and things they were saying, they had 'fair weather fans' written all over them.

Haha just seen Holloways comments about us munching on a lamb!

Villa fans sung it to us last season......

Yes fucking please!

Dreadful collar!!!!!

And Rangers.

I feel a defeat coming on here.

The North East used to be in Lebanon before it got sold to Britain for £2.5m in the 1960's. Ah, well, that explains it then!

I like Baba's idea of us going and playing in Argentina. It would be nice for them to see Colo, Jonas and Messi again.

Wasn't he an ITV camera man? But I take your point.

hooked, gutted and battered.

Can't wait till we wear this in the Ipswich game, like.

Aguero booked for leaving the field too slowly. Misses the first leg against Liverpool. Ref has completely lost the plot.

What pisses me off was the reaction of the extra official behind the goal....or lack there of. THAT'S why he's fucking there to spot blatent fouls like that a crucial fucking moment. Fucks sake man.

Fuckin completely clueless fuckwit referees and extra officials ruin yet another game. Zigic has his shirt ripped in half with 5 mins to go and they didn't give the pen. Fucking idiotic wankas how could they not give that pen!!!!!???

Have you not seen the Bundesliga table?? Wolfsburg have been shite all season. Also, Forlan just failed misearably trying to copy Messi's chip the other night!

Give me a proper collar on that last mock up and it would just about be acceptable.

If we HAVE to play one of the god awful old firm then let us be the away team for once. I'm sick of them fuckers coming down here and acting like cunts.

Can someone explain to me how she is at all qualified to report on football and North East football in particular? What links does she have to the region?

Tbf, you have missed out the rest of the North east, the majority of which will be either Newcastle or Sunderland. But that is a good thing, they can't criticise us for having a large catchment area, what has that got to do with anything, some people say if they had the same catchment area they would get similar attendances. But they don't so its irrelevant. The rest of the North East? Ok you have Northumberland with 300 thousand people. One of the most sparsely populated counties around. Outside of Crammy, Blyth and Perhaps Ashington I can't see significant numbers attending the match from here. Then there's County Durham with 500 thousand people. Don't forget the southern part of CD is Smoggie/Monkey Hanger/Darlo territory. Also factor in the big glory hunting element found in the North East, particularly in the rural areas and so that gives you a catchment area of about a Maximum of 2 million people for two big clubs to draw from. Not miles bigger nor miles smaller than any of the other top clubs catchment areas really.
