Sho Time Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 http://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/the-annual-scraping-premier-league-survival-saga.1258271/ Imagine being a sensible mackem with a modicum of ambition Poor b******. In fairness, can't idenfity with most NUFC fans I meet in person, but my sanity is comforted/reinforced at least by a fair few like-minded individuals here.

Guest reefatoon Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Got back from holiday yesterday and was dying for a game of snap a mag when I was at the airport. Massively disappointed mind as I didn't manage to snap any. Did see 4 people in Sunderland tops though, but that doesn't count. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 This could prove interesting, if true. We're both supposedly after Filip Helander, centre back from relegated Verona. You would be mad to turn down the premiership for the championship, surely... http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/695313/Newcastle-Sunderland-Transfer-Gossip-Rumours-Filip-Helander-Hellas-Verona-Defender Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 1 Moron spat at Sir Bobby. Hounded him out? As far as I remember everyone wanted him to move upstairs, no one wanted him sacked, yeah there were boo's at the end of some matches but that was aimed at the players. C'mon. Boo's for players and manager. Moving upstairs = sacked with class. Looking back we should've kept SBR for as long as his health permitted and listened to him.

Dave Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 He also said: "We need to do the work, get it right and give everybody something to shout about. We have to feel that we're not in this league just to survive every year." and "we need to change from just bobbing along at the bottom of the league". But let's ignore those bits.

Foluwashola Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Have a mackem mate who is genuinely of the happy with 17th each season variety. Will be spunking himself senseless at such ambitious rhetoric from the smackrat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Just getting a bit bored by the obsession with them, and how it's seeping into other threads on the forum. Seems to have really ramped up in the last year, maybe it's to do with the Johnson case. I'm not a Geordie so I'll never 'get it' but they're almost an irrelevance to me, especially now we're not even in the same league. Who gives a fuck what the divs on RTG think about our signings etc? Moyes is a great appointment for them and it's laughable to pretend otherwise considering lots of us would have taken him after McClaren. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I can't believe that there are people who think on it that far tbh. Rivalry, curiosity, disdain and taking the piss is about as far as I can take it. Prolonged obsession and a prologued, automatic, collective, and real hatred beyond reacting would feel unhealthy to me, but everyone's different, apart from all mackems who are all definitely exactly the same apparently.

newsted Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Honestly couldn't give much of a fuck about them, other than in a general interest way and laughing at their obsession. I'm just as interested in Leicester and Nottingham Forest, it's all a bit weird. And Mansfield ffs. Because I know people who care about them, just don't understand the hatred either way. Meh, life goes on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
