"Geordie Blubbers" - More "tongue-in-cheek" Southern Journalism ?

[Guest gggg]

I think Michael Henderson's from Lancashire tbf. Manchester-born, which would explain the Shankly comments. So in answer to your question, no.

 

And why Ferguson isn't in. Joke book.

Anyone notice how Billy Bragg is one of the pictures in the top header. Maybe I'm too young but how did Billy Bragg ruin football.

Billy Bragg is a tediously boring politically correct prat who seems to be believe he has musical talent. He's got less musical talent than my farts. And my farts are musical only to me, and I accept that - he doesn't accept his musical limitations (he even kept referring to himself in a radio doc about the great Woody Guthrie FFS !

But ruining football ? Just another example why this prick's comments are moronic, and typical of the southern (and Manchester) based spite.

But they're treated as interesting, and not the uneducated spiteful rants, which they are.

 

Irony.

 

Bragg wrote a book about reclaiming national pride from the BNP & their ilk, so English people can show pride in their country without feeling ashamed or worried that they'll be seen as racists. I've not read it but get the feeling a lot of it used the changes in the support of team England as a positive example.

Not sure what the writer or Phil have against it though. Too "PC" I guess.

Interesting article that. I don't know a huge amount about Bragg but he's clearly a bright guy.

I've never read or heard anyone referring to us as blubbers before, or mentioning crying in any way related to NUFC or its fans. Seems this has just come out of nowhere and is total bollocks.

 

Far too many opinion pieces online in recent times.

“Geordie Blubber” has become a well-known and, if truth be known, much-mocked character.

 

Really? Never come across this phrase in my life, either spoken or in print, from anyone ever!

 

Is that the best he can do? As windups go it's a desperate effort.

That's what I thought, I've never heard it used by anyone ever.

Can't you just treat it as spite from ignorant, parochial arseholes like this twat Henderson clearly is without trying to crowbar it all into your own parochial view of the South?

 

A large number of sports journalists are evil, twisted, bitter and abuse their position and they should always get called out on it but it's not always because of "The South".

 

And I really liked Mermaid Avenue too.
