The Mackems at work are totally convinced that they are going to thrash us. It has to happen sooner or later and this is the obvious time what with our current plight and all.

Nah, I reckon the north east ends when you get past the Boro and the Tees. Everything just feels 'different' south of there.

Dirty Leeds!

The North/South Shields options should be changed to North/South Tyneside.

In which direction???

What about Tynemouth?, Whitley Bay? Shiremoor? Cramlington? Hebburn?, Jarrow? etc etc etc. And since when's Carlisle been in the North East like?, even York?

My heart bleeds for them and their 'problems'. They dont even know they are born.

This.

Im sorry, but all factors are pointing overwhelmingly towards a defeat here like. Dreading it tbh.

Beware. They eat their young up in Blyth.

There is no way Duff is at LW before N'Zogbia.

I am going to put my neck on the line and say he is THE best centre half we have had since Woodgate. Then again looking at the centre halves we have had since Woodgate its not much of a line to put my neck on.

Cant wait to get Gutierrez back! Will he be back for man city?

Colocinni is mint, a class act. I have no quams in saying that whatsoever. When stability is restored to the club and we get real confindence going he will prove that. I have full confidence in his abilities. The naysayers are wrong.

Lol, get it right up yer!, nice to see some other clubs fans pissed off instead of us all the time!

I watched the interview. He never mentioned Supermac or Bob Moncur. Your stirring..... Maybe you should apply for a job in the Mirror. He was probably referring to Slaven and Gates/Horswill (sp), but its obvious he meant the 3 legends.

Kinnear for President. N'Zogbia is mintttttttttttttttttt. "If Shola scores we're on the pitch!" Come on! That is all.

You have a point to a degree, but not all of the 52,000 runners tomorrow are from the North East. Huge amounts come from the rest of the UK and elsewhere, but I agree the majority are locals.

I know these are terrible times but how come we never take the full allocation at Everton? Even in previous years, we can take un-told thousands to Anfield but it never seems that way when we play Everton for some reason.

I havent read the whole thread so it might not have been mentioned but one thing I think maybe *some* Foreign fans might not get is British 'banter'. What is said on here in jest is maybe taken as an insult. Where I work there are blokes from all over the UK and even some Aussies aswell. Since this whole carry on we have labled all the blokes from the London area the 'Cockney Mafia'. They dont take offence, they just laugh, have a go back at us "Geordie [inset expletive here]" and even play up to it! The jocks get it ripped out of them, so too the Aussies, anyones fair game. Cockney this, Jock that, Brummie so and so............... are regularly used in dialouge between us. It happens all day every day really, so I guess some people bring it on here and it leads to miss understanding. I have nothing but respect for our foreign fans, in fact I was sat near a bloke who had came from Winnepeg Canada especially for the Blackburn game the other day, I was amazed and embarrased at our shit state all at the same time. Still made him welcome though.

Agree to some extent. Or at least someone whose "worth" isn't so completely tied in their various businesses that they have no spendable cash to invest. Aye.

I know its wrong but I feel like if we dont get an arab multi billionaire we might aswell not even bother.

I agree and watching that interview there i get the feeling that he cares for the club more than alot of us realise. I dont reckon its totally nailed on yet that he is leaving, we'll just have to wait and see.
