Optimistic Nut Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Funny thing is, a number on RTG seem to have convinced themselves that they are only 3 points behind the number they got from the same fixtures last season (replacing relegated teams by promoted ones), and providing they equal (or better) their other results it should be sufficient to survive on goal difference, again based on last season end of season Premiership table. What they collectively fail to realise is that this means they will have done better than average last season over the remaining fixtures, and they will need to replicate this kind of form (28 points from 23 fixtures) at a minimum for the rest of the season to even have a chance, and that is if 36 points would be enough this time around. The way they seem to see it is they have 9 "easy" home games left, so they will take maximum points from that and they only need a few more draws to be safe. Now, I don't know if they've looked at their performances or the table as it currently stands at all, but I wouldn't call any Premiership easy, especially if I was playing like them at the moment. A few more bad results and they are as good as gone. In terms of where they were last season against the same opposition, they're the same as Arsenal & Chelsea.

geordiesteve710 Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 £47 for Mags Away Not sure exactly how true this is but seen this posted on twitter earlier Also suggests making it a 'bubble' trip, which is ridiculous as we're not the ones who cause the bother at our games im contacting the FSF tonight with regards to this, minimal violence and disorder from our fans for 3/4 seasons and impeccable behavior at away games so, yet they t*** osses and smash up service stations yet we are the ones being forced into a f***ing bubble trip, bubble trips are archaic and only further demonstrate Northumbria Polices inability to manage an allocation over 10 fans, worst force in the country by far You f***ing what? Are we talking about the same flare throwing, bus bricking, pitch invading, coin chucking, keeper punching rabid apes? Talk about selective memory. :lol: The amount of schizophrenia in that thread :lol:. To paraphrase: 'We always behave brilliantly on derby day, the mags are a disgrace'... Closely followed by 'We always beat the shit out of the mags on derby day, because we are much bigger and badder and more violent.' or is it 'all mags punch horses' or is it 'we smashed up their metro, but its allowed cos the metro was a mag- gerrin' Culminating in some hilariously made-up story about their fans who left the 5-1 early being attacked by 'mag hoolies', but being saved by some other heroic mackems who weren't at the match, but just happened to be in Newcastle while it was going on (doubtlessly behaving themselves impeccably at the time) but this was allowed because giving mags 'a good kicking' is good behaviour anyway marra.

Benwell Lad Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 "A small number of supporters also ran on to the pitch at the Riverside, apparently approaching Boro player Justin Hoyte" - seems almost endemic with them, wanting to run on the pitch and confront players in derby matches.

Guest reefatoon Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 The way they go on is so small time club mentality.

Guest Haris Vuckic Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I remember when we got relegated as soon as the fixtures came out 'A Love Supreme' made t-shirts detailing some of the more embarrassing dates i.e Newcastle United vs Peterborough. Of course, actions like the above met with realities of an easy promotion & a 5-1 defeat etc certainly contribute to the modern mackem psychology. Of being a fucking idiot.

madras Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 at work yesterday one of the lads was flicking through the new FHM calander and muttered "theres an alternative universe in which I'm banging her", someone else piped in "aye, the same one where sunderland win the league", messroom mackem piped up "not going to happen, the theory is that all possible universes happen, us winning the league isn't possible so it wouldn't happen". fair do's like.
