Guest Phil K Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Why hate Newcastle ? http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=735604 The idiotic smog addled mackem who wrote this bilge says "the close-up of the sobbing fat Geordie has become one of the iconic images in the modern game." Yeah, right-o you daft forgetful c***! http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/05/17/article-1183728-00028B7000000258-617_468x412.jpg TBF it was the national press that pushed this image, and a certain London-based Man U fan in particular. Jim White I believe his name is, in the late 90's when it was thought we may be a rival for Man U (God forbid) he even pushed it to the level where he wrote a book "50 things ruining football, and "weeping geordies" was one of them. He is one of those "My family came from Manchester" w*nkers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoob Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 how about some independent views on Sunderland as a place.....http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1884932. I go to Sunderland uni () but travel from Newcastle every day and I know loads of people that do. In general if people from outside the area want to go on a night out or out shopping they'll come through to Newcastle, it's only really the locals that try and tell everyone nightlife in Newcastle is s***. In my 3rd year now and I've been out in Sunderland a grand total of 3 times, it is appauling. There is a reason i'd never been over to Sunderland before I started uni You can just tell the whole place is on its arse, the centre is far closer to Wallsend or Shields highstreet than Newcastle, it really is a dive.

brummie Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I went to Northumbria Uni (well, it was Newcastle Poly at the time). My best mate up there was a mackem, from Cleadon. We went over to his parents house a few times. Now, that's a particularly posh area, so I assumed most of Sunderland was relatively pleasant (like Newcastle). Then we went into the centre, and I rapidly re-evaluated. This was 1989, though, I would imagine it has improved a lot since then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing the only difference is that there are more Greggs and Joplings is shut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was 1989, though, I would imagine it has improved a lot since then. It'll just be like everywhere with some nice parts and some not so nice. The centre is still mostly bollocks though, they've got the Bridges which is a new shopping centre but all the shops are tiny. It's like something off The Wicker Man walking round at times, but then again so is outside The Black Garter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
