Lee I love this guy. I remember seeing him as a little kid coming through at my hometown club and now he's picking apart Arsenal. Makes me feel like a proud uncle every time.

Can only imagine how much we would be in if we got him in January instead of Bolton.

Wenger's face

Bolton with Sturridge probably are objectively the seventh best team in the Premiership.

Really, just stop it with the backheels

Damnit man, just take the shot

You just need to take one look at Wenger's cringing Frenchy-face to know that God will never allow Arsenal to win anything again just to spite him.

Man, Sturridge is a fucking machine.

I will never understand this ridiculous N'Zogbia fetish Sunderland fans seem to have. Is it just that they like any player who's parted from us in acrimonious circumstances?

Given our form against "big" teams so far, I think we'll be in for a good performance at the very least

Three "w"s at the bottom of the table and three "b"s above them

I think it's been blatantly obvious for weeks now that the team finds it hard to motivate themselves for matches against the "smaller" sides given that we're not in any real danger of relegation. I suppose it's understandable.

For the record, I might be less offended by "chink" if I was actually fucking Chinese

Don't know what all the areas of town are called. The hotel I usually use is near the bridge and other than that basically just sjp and the areas downtown with lots of booze/food Drunken idiots saying stupid idiotic stuff, doesn't count for the vast majority of people in Newcastle, at least not to the level of it being 'very bad' as you said. I can see it might seem that way if the three times you've been over here you've heard some bad stuff, but I think I can count on one hand the amount of racist comments I've heard in my life time living in Newcastle... most of them from my Nana. I'm not saying the lot of you are skinheads or anything, just that it's relatively prevalent. Which is partly understandable since there are still probaly a lot of people who don't have extensive interaction(or at least not positive interaction) with people of other races. I'd have a fair bit more opportunity to witness racist abuse than you would, for obvious reasons. (apologies if I'm making incorrect assumptions here!) I just can't understand this. You've been to Newcastle three times, the same part three times, yet you're commenting on the entire area and the people who live in it? Newcastle City Centre has a lot of ethnic groups due to the Universities there. Gateshead and the West End of Newcastle has a large Jewish and Asian Community too. I'm not denying racism in Newcastle, it will happen, as there are stupid, ill educated people everywhere. It'll all come down to personal experiences, and from what I've seen in 26 years I have seen or experienced a vast majority of it, to the levels of it being 'very bad'. Though, as I said, if you've been here 3 times, and each time experienced it, then yeah, I can see why you might think that. However, to turn that experience into a generalisation of Newcastle and the people who live in it? Well, to me, that's just as ill educated as the racism. I never generalized. If you want the meticulously de-generalized version, I believe there are more people in Newcastle that have less experience with other ethnicities and therefor might be more overtly racist sometimes compared to other cities with larger ethnic minorities

But it's not relatively prevalent out and about in Newcastle, you are talking utter bollocks. I'm not though! Perhaps you're just overestimating what 'prevalent' means, but it is certainly more overt than in the other parts of the western world I'm used to working in/visiting

If it makes you feel any better you're definitely not any worse than Seoul is, a lot of us are absolute pigs towards Southeast Asians/Black people

How many times have you been to Newcastle? Three. I'm not saying it's rampant or anything, but it is fairly prevalent just like most other monoethnic parts of the world When were you here in the 70s or 80s? Where did you stay Hotel De-Cowgate or Travel In Howden? A smattering of middle easterners and a Chinatown the size of my office cubicle does not make you multicultural man! In a relative sense, The northeast of England is still very ethnically uniform

I'm going to be honest here and say that racism in Newcastle is pretty bad too.

When's the last time a Player of the Year Award was given to a player from the nineteenth place team anywhere?

I'll reiterate, we underrate Parker a lot due to our experience with him. Granted, he's definitely not the best player in the Premiership. Just a pretty good player who's worth is being well overinflated because he's probably the best-performing English midfielder in the league.
