it's the complete lack of self-awareness. I've not read through the thread but I'm guessing from the title that it's them collectively ridiculing supporters for wearing football shirts? Whenever you fly from Newcastle, departures is always riddled with mackem shirts, and more often than not it's a parents and bairns combo. By ridiculing Newcastle fans they're also calling their own because a big chunk of their lot are doing exactly the same, and have been for years. The big question is how many jawdees stank, and how many were covered in gravy stains? They've been peddling this witty bantz repeatedly for an eternity and some on their board still think it's funny as fuck, which tells its own tale.

Has Andrews managed anywhere before? What a thoroughly odd appointment. Think I've only ever seen him do punditry.

I've got the long sleeve version of the original and it's one of the few older shirts that I don't mind wearing for kicking about in because it's so well made - I'm convinced that it's pretty much bomb-proof. However, I'm ashamed to admit that after owning the shirt for umpteen years, I only just realised a few weeks ago that the black speckled pattern on it makes a big version of the club crest. Felt a bit daft for having never spotted it previously because it's bloody obvious once you see it.

Enjoyed the petty anger that our shirt is for sale at Gatwick Airport...Mag in Duty Free.

Yeah, I was looking at that screenshot of their opening fixtures and thinking that it's a possibility that they could have four points on the board by the time they've played Burnley. It'll unravel pretty badly for them after that.

Another way to look at it is that we were in fairly atrocious form at the time and had lost seven of the last eight games in league and cup, and yet we still comfortably put them away three nowt on their own patch.

Being a moderator on there must be a full-time job.

Aye, wasting all that negative energy on someone just because they support a different team is bizarre. Yes, give him a swerve if his music isn't to your taste but the collective fallout from them has been thoroughly batshit. They're not wired correctly.

Cheers!

How many guaranteed home games are there with the revised format? is it four now? Sure I saw that somewhere.

It doesn't matter how angry or upset they get, or claim that it's sad/weird/pathetic behaviour, this has undoubtedly been a monumental success for both the city and the club and will have brought millions into the local economy. I was fortunate enough to end up with tickets for two of the three dates and on both days the city centre had such a good feel about it from early on. Most bars were busy from mid-afternoon and packed out by teatime. The buzz about the whole city was just brilliant and it was wonderful to be part of it all - it was Newcastle at its very best and it was one of those times when you can really appreciate just how blessed we are to live here. A pack of goons ten miles down the road who are bashing vitriol into a spunk-stained keyboard can never change any of this. If this is what "Geordiefication" is all about that lets have a whole load more of it please.

"Dinnit knaa why they sing Local Hero. Glasgow, marra!" "Dinnit knaa why they sing Blaydon Races. County Durham, marra!" If having a local link is an important part of a club's anthem, then what the fuck is the connection with Wise Men Say, or Ready to Go?

PSG were brilliant tonight, fully deserved.

Ally McCoist is such a great co-commentator, then Ferdinand ruins it all, he's fucking shite.

The other day there was some discussion about him being worth £80m in the Premier League, whilst others in the same discussion were saying that they wouldn't be too bothered if he left. Both cannot be correct.

Truly horrific, thoughts with those affected.

It was nowt OTT, just 'banter' but was on a different level to anything I'd experienced elsewhere. Been travelling away for 30 odd years and this lot always act the cunt. It's a shame, I want to like Villa but their fans make it difficult.

Hahaha, this is funny as fuck. I was down at Villa this season and took so much shite from their fans post match. Get fucked you claret cunts, life comes at you fast.

Mind, Sunday in town could be interesting with the mackems travelling back into Central station from London over the course of the day. Northumbria Plod must be getting a bit of overtime.

You've got to go to Newcastle to get the train to Wembley, Sunderland's a massive club.

I think it's fine, if it's released in long sleeves then I'll be treating myself.

Yeah, lad at work was the same. Just seen that it's on both BBC and ITV so at least that means it should get a decent audience. It's coverage on terrestrial TV is the one thing which is keeping the competition semi relevant.

Don't think I'll lose too much sleep if Palace won it, but their "Ultras" can collectively stick that fucking drum up their arse. Know it's been mentioned umpteen times, but it's just sad to see the FA Cup being kicked to the back of the cupboard. Suppose at least it's not competing with premier league football today so that's at least something, but bet there are football fans who don't even realise that it's today.
