This. Club. Is. A. Fucking. Joke. Our fans do this- ...whilst the owner and manager sit there laughing.

Same here, I'm confused as to what/who I even support and when/why. Fuck sake.

:lol: Dat Elliot leap for the corner

:lol:

I hate listening to him...getting ridiculous now

Don't

Wow. No words.

'FTM' has gotta be the saddest thing I've ever seen. I don't get it, maybe it's 'cos I ain't from the area...but constantly having to be like 'FTM' at the end of every sentence must get a bit tiring. 'Can't believe we lost 8-0. FTM!' 'The bairn's been born. Happiest day of my life. FTM!'

They'll need a better PR team if they're going to try that. @leeryder EXCLUSIVE: Franck Dumas tells NUFC fans not to get carried away after record profits announced :lol: Cheers for that Frank.

Look mate you've gotta support the club through the bad times as well as the good, you're not a real fan if you don't etc etc

Great transparency from the club, answered some very pressing issues with diligence and intent. Glad to see there's plenty of measures in place to move the whole operation forward, exciting times to be a NUFC fan.

depends on your outlook and what you want the player to do, if it's track back and cover the fullback and have virtually zero attacking impact then there's certainly a choice to be made between the two That is a complete fallacy though. Gouffran runs around a lot but gives his full-back no actual protection whatsoever. I don't blame him because he's not a defender, but our left-back is as exposed now as he would be given zero protection from anyone else. Gouffran in this role has one trademark move and one trademark move only, to come short infield, give it back, turn and run forwards. He literally contributes nothing else apart from being the 11th player on the pitch. Pardew knows nothing about football so he simply cannot spot this it seems. I don't think he even does that anymore. He's so lazy it's unreal now, probably 'cos he knows he'll be picked week in, week out. Funny how Pardew lambasted HATAAAAAM for not tracking back yet Gouff, Cabella, Gabby and Aarons hardly track back, the first two being the biggest culprits.

if that happens we all might as well just pack in any illusion of hope we have left then it's never going to happen, no way It definitely would indeed. I really hope we get spanked but even then, I doubt anything will change. Pardew will come out with the whole 'can't compete with their budget etc etc' and will get (another) stay of execution. The cunt.

I don't know why, but I think we're going to get 4 points from Spurs and Liverpool, then the fun continues. NUFC eh

It's not, but its certainly different in say Birmgham where there are two clubs. You dont get the same feeling and the amount of people talking about it imo Absolutely agree with that in general. But if you'd seen a Villa win and headed into Aston, Perry Barr, Witton, Longbridge etc then the feeling would be the same as NUFC and the Toon...perhaps with slightly less obvious/advertised passion (guess that comes from the Brummie style) but that's about it. Yeah true, but the support is so widespread there, like amongst the lads I know, its WBA/Villa/Blues/WBA/Wolves and thats only in our group. Same here. I did my post grad in Birmingham and out of the people I met who were local to Birmingham, all those clubs you mentioned plus Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea were represented. I don't even know what point I'm trying to make anymore. I'll shut up now

Well said TCD articulated it well. It's a different kind of animal London, but the similarities with the football clubs are there. Don't focus too much on London anyway. That same feeling is prevalent in other cities in England. I love Newcastle with every bone in my body but from my experience it's not the only town/city in ol' Blighty where people get wrapped up so much in the goings on at their local club.

If you haven't then fair enough but that surprises me. Ain't E10 more Leyton, Temple Mills, Hackney Marshes rather than Leytonstone though? With the unis and gentrification round them bits I guess I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't heard an old gran going off on one about fret. My gran (not a football-loving one ) used to live in Leytonstone before she passed and it was crazy how much a League One/Two club could affect the area, from my eyes. I've seen the same in plenty of other cities than London, though. My point is is that I really do not think, considering my experience and others', that this feeling is exclusive to Newcastle. Doesn't take away the fact (well, my opinion) that Newcastle is the greatest city in England.

Oh yeah...Pardew you're a fucking cunt etc...sorry for hijacking

I disagree with that sorry. Most London clubs' fans are from the local areas and will drink/socialise around them (they have a sense of pride for their postcode), hence why we have so many bloody clubs in the big smoke. Spurs fans are a good example actually, they normally come from Tottenham/Wood Green/Barnet/Seven Sisters etc all of which are very close to WHL and with plenty of run down boozers to choose from I live near Selhurst Park - which has a tremendous atmosphere these days but that's mostly down to being grateful for being in the PL, a small stadium with a section that will sing & make noise no matter the result. Most of the home fans come from within 4 miles of the stadium, i'm certain of that. You won't find many Palace fans from North London. Apart from Arsenal & Chelsea and perhaps to a lesser extent Spurs - most London clubs have very local support primarily. I've never met a Spurs fan who wasn't from North London. I think our problem at NUFC is that we've gone stale as a fanbase. We never got overly excited, we never get too down - except for Derbies. Mission completed Mike. Good post I used to live in Thornton Heath once upon a time. I agree with what Minhosa said about the atmosphere around the time of KK- it was something else. I was a young boy absolutely fascinated by the city and it's mostly because of the incredible feeling and mentality around the club at the time, it really was unique. In terms of the here and now- I would say Palace fans are more 'fervent' about their club than we are at the moment. I go to Selhurst quite a bit with my Palace supporting mate and I have to say I am routinely jealous of their atmosphere. I don't care if it's one small stand going nuts...it's one more stand than we have. I would class them as having a more unique feeling around the place than Newcastle in 2014. Again sorry but that is absolute rubbish. How could you possibly say that's exclusive to Newcastle? I've been in Leeds, Charlton, Norwich...hell (and I hate to admit this) even Sunderland where a scenario similar to that has occurred. If you work in London and you're in a neutral area (such as central) then of course, people are likely to support different clubs. You'll probably find mostly Liverpool fans even! But if you're in the residential areas, such as Leytonstone, then you'll find most of the locals are Orient fans and are passionate ones to boot who talk about the club with some random guy at the local offie. Fair play. Well I have. I've seen Aston/Perry Barr after a Villa win, the absent mood in Stratford after a West Ham draw... I've seen Bermondsey being torn to shreds after a Millwall loss. I think we're a very special club but just not in this way, other football clubs directly affect their area's mood in largely the same way imo.

I'm a born and bred Londoner I said 'most' and I certainly stick by that- there's no way most Spurs fans travel from across the South to watch home games, most are from the N London area. Unfortunately I know and am friends with plenty of 'Yiddos' and have even done the matchday walk from Wood Green on many occasions. Yes there are plenty of fans that live miles away (like all clubs), especially those from the 'white flight' phenomenon that live in Essex, M Keynes, East Anglia, Sussex, Surrey etc but they don't make up the majority of home fans whatsoever. To think NUFC is a special case is a bit naive IMO, and I certainly wouldn't agree that we have fervent support anymore.

"there's a good mood in the camp" "think our fans know that we are getting there" "tough with only one day to prepare after the international break" "we need a good atmosphere in the stadium" "great spirit" Just add 'fight', 'graft', 'working hard' and 'fret' and that's the cunt's entire footballing vocabulary.

Holy fuck what a read :lol: This guy is...just...unexplainable
