Guest firetotheworks Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Fucking sickening behaviour for the people of Newcastle to be proud of the Quayside like. Half of the Tyne Bridge isn't on the Newcastle side, which means that it isn't Newcastle and is therefore, by definition, Sunderland's. That's the level of petty one-upmanship I feel like we have to deal with. When did this even start? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickthemagpie Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 This used to be a particularly weird pet-peeve of an ex-colleague who would also use the 'Newcastle claiming things as their own' cliche. Metrocentre, Angel, you name it. Our office at Cobalt in Wallsend was the 'Newcastle branch', this p*ssed her off no end! She couldn't grasp that it wasn't some shadowy figure at Newcastle City Council going round planting flags, but the businesses themselves using the city's name to identify themselves geographically and use the Newcastle 'brand' to give them more credence and possibly prestige. 'Bentley Newcastle' just sounds better than 'Bentley Wallsend'. Sorry, but it does. It's a bit lame this hotel using Newcastle mind - the mackem boundary fetishists will no doubt explode but I guess 'Mercure Sunderland' doesn't have the same prestige! http://www.georgewashington.co.uk/ Got a Newcastle post code, it's ours.

Scoot Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 mackems claiming landmarks as their own and spitting feathers when something has Newcastle in it's name but isn't from Newcastle. They're a fucking weird bunch. I thought most of them were confined to the ready to groom forum, but it seems they are spilling onto here now. A mackem at work today was giving it billy big balls, top 6 easy now they have Moysee. Ok There was one on the news the other day saying "top 6 and yewrup". Imagine one of our lot had said that at some point over the last 10 years, there'd be 3,000 threads on it within minutes on ready to groom, "Deluded mags on the news" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp40 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I mean Sunderland should keep it to football. Sunderland is a shithole where you can buy cheap fuel and Newcastle is a great city. It's not any more complicated than that. never can understand why they have a go at us about crowds and our City- we are so far ahead of them on both of these things, why don't they stick to the other shit things about us- its quite bizzare.

Twisted people as RTG proves. You don't genuinely think in this way do you? Yep. My wifes family are from down that way and are predominantly sunderland fans. Decent enough people until they get on to the subject of football. Anyway her cousin got married last month and I went on his stag do amongst a load of mackems and the bile that come out of their mouths about Newcastle had to be heard to be believed. More disturbing was their staunch support of Johnson and how they'd always see him as a legend because of his goals against us and how ridiculous his sentence was. Took one for the team etc. That was bad enough but a couple of weeks later I was out in the company of her family and her sister (safc season ticket holder) started on a drunken rant about the poor bairn he was grooming and pinned the blame 100% on her. Always found her sister to be spot on (I've known her nigh on 20 years) but couldn't belive what I heard that night. Spoke to wor lass about it the next day and even she was lost for words. Not normal people in my experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Even the most level headed mackems I know brush off the Johnson thing as fuck all and are quite happy with their 'paedo points' Seems winning at any cost is all that matters. It's why fat Sam's football is accepted, it's why Di canio was a cult hero and why Johnsons crimes have been harshly punished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc4eva Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 They are currently debating how well the current squad could do and quite a number think top 10 easy, really :-) and we are the deluded ones, they were nearly relegated with that squad and do they not realise their end of season form has little to do with Jan signings and more to do with there usual last 7 game run. I mean Moyes may very well turn them into a mid-table or above team but to claim it will instantly gonna happen is as deluded as us believing we will walk the Championship and then challenge for Europe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a load of mackems, in fact I have a canny few mackem friends and they're all great people but my good god, once you get onto football or in particular, Newcastle United the absolute shite that falls out of their gobs is beyond belief at times. Bitter and obsessed is an understatement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I must say that the defence of Johnson was a shock to me. I generally think that all football fans are the same, but I shudder to think about our fans defending him if he played for us, and make no mistake, there would be those who would*. *Source - NUFC fans who defended Pardew/slated Ben Arfa.

You're not seriously not trying to compare people defending Pardew to Johnson are you? Thankfully NUFC have never knowingly fielded a nonce before but I remember about 12 years ago when Kieron Dyer was accused of raping a 17 year old lass in a hotel down in London and he got a fair bit of abuse from the fans around me in the Leazes End Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ElCid Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Another corker Because football only started in 1990`s still say if we had there run in the 90`s the early sky years our waiting list would on been much bigger Then why are your crowds no bigger now after we been relegated and why were your crowds not bigger 95% of the time pre 90s. Honestly these lot make up so much crap it's totally unreal. We have had 2 relegations and still get far more support than they do and always will.

midds Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 No, the point being that no one's claiming that the Baltic or the Sage are in Newcastle, it's just obviously very easy to get to from Newcastle, so what's the problem with it being brought up? It's proper school yard level stuff man. We know it's Gateshead ffs, no one's disputing that. I have no idea why you all seem to be so obsessed with the legitimacy of local boundaries like, it's so f***ing weird. Nah, what's weird is claiming landmarks from other cities as your own. Do you get the Angel of the North too, and Gateshead's international athletics stadium? How far south does it go? Do you lay claim to Dobbie's Garden Centre at Birtley? F*ck it, I'm having Seaham Hall as Sunderland's 5* hotel Wondered when it would happen and what would cause it but never expected it to be Seaham Hall. It was always inevitable once we went down though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
