Guest Brazilianbob Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Born and bred in newcastle for 34 years before I dont mean this in an offensive way, but i think a lot of the threads that pop up on here round derby games show the differences between the local lads who follow Newcastle (ie Geordies) and our pals from around the country/ planet. To those living in the area, the game is gigantic, its bigger than any other game of the season, winning is everything and losing bloody awful. They have a strong intense dislike of mackems and the idea of playing for Sunderland (a la Chopra) is as ludicrous as supporting them. The hostility facing people like Chopra is not banter, but real hardcore disapproval of what he's done. To a lot of those from out the area, the game seems to be about tongue in cheek banter and a bit of name calling.

To a lot of those from out the area, the game seems to be about tongue in cheek banter and a bit of name calling. Obviously there'll be exceptions to this, but its something i've noticed for a while. Born and bred in Newcastle for 34 years before I left, so I know what it is like to lose these games and have to face the mackems at work on a monday morning. However, as an outsider now I can view the result with a certain degree of magnanimity as I am not surrounded by mackems who will crow incessantly if they win. Having said that there is one mackem fan in the office but he is a regular guy and won't overdo it if they do win! Similarly I don't overdo it when we win, and if we have been lucky, I say so! Keeps it nice and civilized. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Cant believe what Chopra has come out with. I am not expecting him to wear a SMB shirt or oot like that but at the same time I am not expecting him to act like a prize cunt ala Don Fuck off die you cunt of a twat face Hutchinson either.

johnnypd Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 how did we not treat him right? we offered him a new contract, let him leave for a small fee and loaned him out numerous times so he could get games. little shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must have thought he was going to replace Shearer & then Roeder said I am going to bring in Sibs, sign Martins & we already have Owen & Shola.....oh aye & Uncle Alex says I can borrow Rossi.

Yorkie Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I detest Glenn Roeder but i've got nowt against him for not rating Chopra. I can't see how we didn't treat him right tbh, he made it into the first team squad for a full season and didn't take his chance, simple as that really. We even offered him a new contract. The patronising shite he's come out with in the last couple of days is vomit-inducing. Comes across pretty arrogant! Can't understand it, he's shit.

Shak Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Spot on. When Clarkie went you knew it was because he didn't want to leave the area. But Chopra had already fucked off man, although I never booed him last time as I don't agree with that sort of thing. I think it's absolutely disgusting. I'm not entirely sure if you're serious or not. It's pretty funny either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 i like to think we'll get the chance to boo him. can't see him starting and he'll only get on if they are having to throw everything at us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Went to the same school as both and Stephen was and by all accounts is still a good lad. Bumped into the other one who was acting the I am. Chops can do one. He'll be crying into Keano's dog hankerchief tomorrow night. No doubt he'll be chancing a few quid on the true outcome of the match though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Chopra is a Geordie who plays for the mackems and would probably kiss the badge if he scores against us. Got to be boo'ed no two ways about it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I didn't like Chopra's comment about wanting to play against Newcastle in the derby because he said he wasn't treated well by Newcastle. If you can't get in the Sunderland team you won't get in ours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Well even saying that we never mis-treat the guy, he was offered a 1 year deal, and said no. Did he expect a 5 year deal having scored one goal against Sunderland? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
