Keefaz Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Man Utd are the kings of hypocrisy; they do/say this kind of thing all the time. "There are a lot of hypocrites in football," said Sunderland's manager. "A manager was talking last week about respecting referees; the same manager has been sent off this season for foul and abusive language. If managers don't respect officials, how can you expect players to?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 ultimate plastic geordie plastic manc shurley ? doesn't even give pretend of being a geordie anymore. (quite pleased we aren't associated with the hypocritical git) true as many say. the worst thing about man utd is the attitude that "we can do this but you can't" both on and off the pitch.

You could say he's a plastic geordie and a plastic manc then, but plastic mancs are nothing new. I only know one Geordie myself who actually actively "supports" another club, he supports manure and I haven't seen him for years anway Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzzieMandias Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 My brother was once flying out of Manchester airport and ended up in some first-class lounge at the same time as Bobby Charlton and a bunch of then (it was a while ago) Man U players. By my brother's account, they were all ribbing Charlton about the idea that he was a Geordie. "Do you hate mackems, then?" Gary Pallister kept asking. "No, I don't hate mackems," Charlton replied.

womblemaster Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 "He was born a Geordie " well to split hairs hes wasnt really, but then thats using the same definition for geordie as for cockneys.....have to be born within 5miles of the river. IF thats not good enough, then where does geordieland end and northumberland/durham start?? As he was born in ashington, that makes him a Northumbrian, and not a geordie.

womblemaster Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 " I am as I was born before Tyne & Wear came about." i realise they are doing away with Northub county council, but i dont think there is much danger of ashington being included in tyne and wear!! SO i cant really see your point tbh. Maybe by some wierd quirk of a mistimed journey by mrs charlton, some of the charltons got borned in the RVI ?
