With an identity as a national laughing stock, aye. Every third-rate comedian has the thick, sentimental "jawdee" character getting worked up over nothing as a fall-back for a cheap laugh. Your "identity" is on a par with the boring Brummie and the thieving Scouser- fat, pastie-munching mags hanging around that big grey eyesore like flies around shit, spouting incomprehensible twaddle about "wor beloved toon". That's your identity to most people. You must be so proud.

 

What actually hurts us is that our accents are the same as yours to people outside the area and we get lumped in with you. It hurts to be associated in any way with the kind of people who hold mock funerals for the name of a football ground, who proclaim themselves a "nation" like the Catalan people and can't see how ridiculous that is, people who think they're living in some cultural oasis because woah, there's a big shopping centre over the water and a gallery with nowt of any worth in it... and fuck me if there's not a regional airport close by, there's a thing.

 

More than anything else, Newcastle United and its supporters have held back the North East as a region by sullying its image for outsiders. A region of hard-working, down to earth people who can laugh at themselves has been hijacked over the last 20 years by sanctimonious, humourless, pretentious bores droning on and on about their fucking heritage and their "geordie pride". In your determination to prove that you're the bestest, loyalest, cushtiest fans in all the world, you just give the world the impression that you have got absolutely nothing in your lives, that the only thing that can light up the darkness of your Cruddas Park grief-holes is the chance to weeble about the place dressed like giant mint humbugs grunting, "toon toon black and white army" even though you're on the bus and it's Thursday morning. We hate you because you embarrass us and you embarrass the whole region. Now fuck off.

Well that's the thing - Newcastle have had numerous world class players and names known throughout the world....our list of legends is massive. Sunderland have that '73 goalie, Phillips and Quinny ;D

 

Their argument aswell is asking what we've won with the list of 'world-class/good' players we've had (or it was on the legends)

 

Er, and what have sunlan won like?

 

And the stat about a 40 year sunlan' fan seeing their team get relegated more, than beating NUFC is a classic.

i wonder if he sees his fellow mackems the way everyone else sees them,as an arsenal fan i spoke to recently described them "the place and the people are a more northerly stoke" before saying they spend the weekend in newcastle when they play them, go to sunderland as late as possible and leave as soon as possible.

They're giving Newcastle fans a go for not going to matches and watching them in pubs...

 

Erm... :lol:

 

I've watched many of our away matches in the pub this season when Newcastle fans have been outnumbered by Mackems - our match was the only one being shown.  The same wankers are the most vocal when a weekend goes their way as well but won't be drawn into a football conversation when it doesn't.  Strange that.

I thought it was still living the dream?

 

On 18 May 2007, it was announced that a newly formed company, Vergo Retail, had taken over the three remaining Owen Owen stores. Vergo Retail was spearheaded by David Thompson, a former director of Mothercare, Habitat and more recently director and shareholder of Mark One which was sold in 2004 for £55m.

 

On 7 May 2010, Vergo was placed into administration, with MCR appointed as the administrators. On 11 May 2010, it was announced that there would be ten store closures, including Joplings, within the next four weeks unless a buyer was found.[2] A final closure date of Saturday 19 June 2010 has now been set
