Random aside, one guess which paper this letter appeared in http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/3807/dailymail4057730.jpg

http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/football/830807-empty-seats-at-low-key-world-cup-matches-to-be-probed-by-fifa Looked like a Boro match in some places at Greece-S. Korea, pretty shocking to be honest when you consider how many people would like to be in that seat (even fans of other countries, while you're in South Africa I'd imagine you want to see as many games as possible.)

http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/6281/article12764403302630a0.jpg ^ Also a dick The fact that other teams and neutrals at matches are blowing them as well makes it even more retarded, how it is supporting your team to make exactly the same noise as your opponents?

The way they go on about it it's like they're making out that these Chinese plastic drone-makers are the South African equivalent of the aboriginal didgeridoo, if these things count as local culture then so do car-window mounted England flags and foam hands.

Might come in handy next time Rooney calls the ref a cunting shitbag actually.

36 year old woman arrested on suspicion of drunk driving, although that might have just been Gazza in drag, who knows. I blame the driver of the lamppost.

Hey, if you want a reputation as one of the most boring, joyless sets of fans on the planet then by all means continue droning. It's certainly different.

Breaking news on the BBC News channel about an accident on Newcastle Quayside involving an Astra leaving the road and colliding with a signpost, Northumbria Police not able to deny that Gazza was in one of the cars involved. EDIT: Now saying that a friend of the family has confirmed he was involved in the accident and is currently in hospital, although not thought to be badly hurt.

"We're crazy, outlandish and exciting! That's why we enforce a constant, monotonous drone which essentially censors cheering, singing, the sounds of crowd excitement or any other musical instruments!" They make South Africa's support dull. Deathly dull. Thanks to the constant drone you've adopted, your so called "outlandish" support makes the Germans look like Mardi Gras.

I don't understand how people are still blowing them when someone scores. How do you fight the instinct to throw your hands in the air and cheer, or put your head in your hands? What kind of fan sees their team score or conceed in the World Cup and just continues blowing into a plakker tube like they have been for the past 30 minutes?

World Cup stewards in Durban clash with police over pay Police clashing with stewards, that's a new one

I could understand if there was a burst of them after a goal or when a team was pushing for a late equaliser or something, but it's just exactly the same crowd noise all the way through. They blow them when someone's down getting treatment for fuck's sake. Support your team properly man, get some dick with a drum and a guy tootling the 'come on England' ditty on a loop, then go and throw street furniture at a foreign copper. That's how you cheer on a football team, none of this plastic horn shit.

It's not being unveiled on the last day of the season, apparently they want 300 fans to turn up at SJP and model it during the close season. Anyone going? Reckon you could sneak a pic with a camera phone?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/8728910.stm £7m was the rumorued amount Chelsea are looking to bid http://www.goal.com/en/news/9/england/2010/06/06/1961642/chelsea-to-bid-7m-for-andy-carroll-of-newcastle-united

Doubt they would get relegated with Becks, J.Cole and Henry tbh. We had players like Owen, Viduka or Butt. See the difference? What I mean is when we were linked with Rooney, Modric, Arshavin, Kuyt etc and nowt ever came of it.

West Ham's owners have been talking of signing Beckham. They reckon they've had a bid for Joe Cole turned down as well. Hope it's the same fruitless posturing we used to do, relying on them taking up a relegation spot for us next year.

But when you call someone a doubled barreled insult like that, the first word is never neutral, it's always picked because it's being infered by the person shouting it that it's a negative trait to have, isn't it? Fat, ginger, ugly, spotty, talentless, midget, black... You never hear someone call Peter Crouch "You tall prick" it's always "Lanky prick". You don't hear "Rooney, you muscular arsehole" or "Barton, you brunette shitbag" do you? If Michael Carrick puts a two footed challenge on an Arsenal player they might call him a northern wanker, would Newcastle fans do that, even though he's northern and it's a valid description? Why do you specify "southern twat" rather than just twat? It's inferring that you don't like southerners, that being southern is a bad trait to have and so forms part of the insult. So what's the implication of calling Shola a black cunt rather than just a cunt? Why not Geordie cunt?

Watch out for "Brown Ale in Autism Link", "St Jame's Park Causes Cancer", "Chris Houghton "Illegal Immigrant" and "Alan Shearer in Diana Death Smash Shock"

My dad was in a pub last night with ssn with the sound off and they were showing a photo of Cole while talking about something, dunno if it was this.

I wouldn't waste my time. Until Quinn speaks out against magedia bias, nothing will change for us. Rest assured that flybe will never enjoy my custom again.

Is there a missing 'not' from this this bit of .com's take on it? Or am I misunderstanding something

Remember bring pretty pissed off at the time when The Sun kept referring to him as "Cole, who has been christened 'Wor Blackie" by Newcastle fans..." Anyone remember any toon fan 'christening' him anything? They reckoned we called Ginola 'frog on the tyne' as well, which strangely enough sounds more like what some unfunny twat of a journalist would come up with while trying to be clever.

Don't suppose Andy Cole has a twitter or anything where he could be asked about his time here and could confirm this shit is... Well, shit? Would probably increase the chances of a retraction.
