Neil Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Precisely. Just take the constant criticism as a compliment, the more 'they' talk, the more it shows how much people still think NUFC is a big club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(no doubt i'll be derided for saying this) it's not true because ive never heard any geordie talk about a 'geordie roar'. he's just pulled that phrase from his arse. which shows he is not talking about real newcastle fans and their REAL beliefs or expectations, but a mythic media concoction in which all nufc fans see the club as being on par with man utd and barcelona and expect us to win the league every year.

The reason why the fans dont mak much noise is because we can see the life being sucked out of our football club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrette Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 We are a big club, and the media attention we get is testament to this. A lot of factors weigh in to make us a club with such a stature, but no rational Toon fan will pretend we are on the same level as clubs such as Man Utd. It's ironic how the media (and other fans) attack us fans for believing we support a big club who have a divine right over other clubs to be successful, when it's the same media who give us so much attention in the first place.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Precisely. Just take the constant criticism as a compliment, the more 'they' talk, the more it shows how much people still think NUFC is a big club. I don't need Simon Jordon to reaffirm that we are indeed a big club because it is not only so fucking obvious (disclaimer: not on a par with bigger clubs of course) but more importantly I honestly couldn't give a fuck whether people think we are or not as it means fuck all anyway. I do take issue with the expectations remarks however not because its a lie which it is but because it firmly demonstrates to me that people like Simon Jordon who has been heavily involved with football affairs just doesn't get it which is one of the major reasons why there is such a huge divide between the game and fans who follow and support it, people like him having a direct influence on it.

Agreed there. In all fairness, we do have the 3rd largest club stadium capacity in the country, and we can easily fill it. I don't think it takes Einstein to realize that we are a big club. I'm pretty sure he and other NUFC snipers know that already. The fans? yes a significant amount are fickle and have their expectations too high, but the main body of support is a grateful and knowledgeable one.
