Guest Alan Shearer 9 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I may be wrong, but it feels to me like the majority of local supporters don't really accept foreign supporters. Maybe this is something that has been perpetuated in the media and isn't strictly true. However, on my first matchday in SJP when I went to the toilets, a number of supporters started to piss on me just because I was wearing a Man U top. Surely if we can't accept people from outside the club will spiral back down and become a smaller enterprise, albeit still with the history and acheivements of 'a big club', or one bigger than most in England. It feels to me like some fans would like that, maybe the majority. You were wearing a man u top to a toon game?? I had Chelsea shorts on though? It is no way to treat a man in front of his wife in a public toilet. Excuse my bad English I am from Mumbai, it is hard to speak here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying it's OK to have people pissing on you, but to me it sounds like you ask for some sort of reaction when you turn up at SJP in a man utd shirt combined with a chelski shorts. It's a pretty funny outfit to wear in the first place And tbh your situation has little to do with you the fact that you are a foreign supporter, different skin color etc. I'd be a fool to attend the West Ham - Newcastle match in April wearing my toon kit among the WHU fans or even show up with the Toon Army wearing a sunderland shirt. (god forbid that, what's sunderland's kit anyway? Do they have any at all? ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He uses a revolutionary treatment that involves tooting on a crack pipe then tooting on his pink pipe. His name's George Michael. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 On the topic of other teams shirts in a complete different stadium, every other fucking week at Vicarage Road, you see some little fuckers wearing Chelsea/Arsenal/Manure tops. I always see one little (or not so little, the most obese 10 year old I've ever seen) shit with a Manure shirt with Rooney 10 on the back, walking up and down the front of the stand. Little twat should stay at home and not watch Watford, plastic little twat. I also was going to make a joke about Saracens kits being worn at the Vic when it's a complete different sport, but an actual truthful anecdote is much better. Oh, and the linesman was wearing a Reading kit the other week, wanker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard the FA were planting those kids there to encourage more Watford fans to follow premiership teams and give up supporting Watford. All part of an elaborate conspiracy to bring the club to its knees. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heero Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 hello there, i live in belgium and i have allways been a newcastle united fan, And no i will never quit being a NUFC fan, i go to games as much as i can. or as much as my money allows me to go,lol even been to cl games at inter and leverkursen, away games in london, home games at st james. And yes when i was younger (22 years ago) i could have maybe been smarter to fall for another team, with less worries. But no other team makes me feel like i feel when i support newcastle united.

Guest Phil K Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 ...That some of you guys seems to just go on and on criticizing foreign fans all the time. I’m not going to deny the some of the posts are a bit outlandish, but to say things like: “f*** off”, “you’re clueless”, “Cockney” … and so on is not making anything better. Quite right. There are indeed some peabrains amongst us - carrying "Cockney Mafia Out" banners maybe - people whose breakfast has a higher IQ than they have probably. I'm geordie through and through, but do not have the slightest aversion to non-geordies of any creed colour or whatever, as long as they share my CURSE of being a Newcastle fan !

Guest Heneage Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I must admit I have more respect for Foreign fans who pick outside the top four, the amount of Yanks who support the top four with the most tedious of links. What about foreign fans who chose us when we were a good team - surely just as bad as those choosing Chelsea now? Yeah but even then we weren't hitting the top. Its just listening to American Footy podcasts. And people go "My teams are Inter and Arsenal" its like how can you do that you've picked two teams at the top of their respective leagues. If you really want to root for 2 teams, why not go Arsenal Palermo. Experience both sides of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Ok bad example they only finished 11th last season. Say Catania a team that often struggles or Cagliari. My point was more a team that won't win 90% of games cruising through buying all the best players. With Palermo they have had players like Di Michele bit of a Journeyman but good striker bresciano a good player who they molded. Its all a bout getting an attachment with that club, when you support two massive clubs how can you do that? I mean Catania last season for example had the brilliant Jorge Vargas now sadly at Fiorentina, Zaki at Wigan could be the English comparison or Santa Cruz at Blackburn, players that didn't come with stupid price tags. Staying up is considered as big an achievement for some teams as winning a trophy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
