Wallsendmag Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 We certainly are superior like when we are getting 52,000 in the championship when the majority of clubs wouldn't get within 20,000 of that. What's wrong with being proud that we have the best support in the country. I don't get all this what's attendances got to do with it argument? I'm sure every debate about clubs I have ever seen used attendances as a measure. Why are Sheffield Wednesday considered a bigger club than say Wigan then? Why are we considered a big club despite winning nothing in decades? Size of our support that's why. Exactly. We haven't won a domestic trophy for over 60 years. We haven't won a league title in almost 90 years, yet here we are playing in the 2nd tier of English football and constantly selling out a 52,000 stadium every week. Based on those facts I've mentioned, I'm fairly sure there's not a club in World football that could manage that. If we didnt have the bounce of Rafa, do you guys think we will be selling out in the Championship? If another club akin to Everton were to have the exact same bounce, you honestly think that they wouldnt have a similar uptake? The thing that pisses me off the most in this conversation, is that you guys are acting like its fact, when it most certainly is not. History shows we have a bigger support than Everton. That is despite a lot of our history being in the 2nd division whilst they've been a top flight club for something like 100 consecutive seasons. Certainly more than any other club in the country.

54 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 People whinge about people talking attendances in here then accept things like the Pardew thread This forum has it's own trendy topics that only a small minority of our fan base probably actually give a s*** about. Fnd it strange me like. The Alan Pardew thread on here must be the most embarrassing thing on the Internet. It's probably on about its 4th incarnation now after constantly hitting 1,000 pages. Sad thing is it generates far more interest than the Rafa Benitez thread, our current manager, whereas Pardew has been gone for 2 years and is currently making a pigs ear out of it at another club, which certainly isn't our problem. I dont really give a s*** what Pardew does but I sure as hell understand why people have this so called "obsession" for him. He ruined the love of football for many people, he consistently chastised the fans, spouted s***, and made people want the club to lose, to want to see that t*** fail is normal. As for the "most embarrassing thing on the internet" tag, have you seen Reddit? At the end of the day talking about our local Rivals (Just not RTG links every other post) and an ex manager is completely fine. The only thing that annoys me personally is that people seem to like to use attendance figures as a justification for slating an entire fan base, and acting like Newcastle fans are superior, when most definitely are not. We should start up a Graeme Souness thread whilst we're at it then. He did far more damage than Pardew did, especially considering his starting position of having a Champions League quality squad to work with. Pardew has gone, he's been gone for 2 years. His name being constantly at the top of this messageboard is an embarrassment. Are you just being ignorant for s***s and giggles? So you seriously don't see why people would want to talk about a manager that almost destroyed there love for football? And actively made them want the club to lose? Get a grip man you big daft tart The majority of people on here don't even go to the matches anyway so the worst he did was make them turn their streams off in the huff. Destroyed their love for football ffs man You couldn't have been watching NUFC all that long if Alan Pardew did all that to you. I didn't like the bloke, I'll admit it, but he's been gone for 2 years now and we now have one of the worlds great mangers running our club which is why Pardew isn't even worthy of a mention anymore. I used that terminology because thats what people on here, people btw who had been supporting Newcastle for 40+ years. But thats it, name call all you like All I was trying to say, is that understandable why people would want to discuss him. Thats all, nothing less nothing more.

Disco Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Ah hate empty seats me. I couldn't care less about being labelled a real fan or a part timer anymore. I had a season ticket for 24 years, did about a dozen away games every season and followed the team all over Europe but I haven't been to an away game for over 2 years and only went to 4 home games this season. There's no loyalty in football any more and that applies to me now. If I feel the team are doing well and deserve my support I buy a ticket and if not I don't bother. That's where I am these days and I'm not ashamed to admit i Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice that you remembered it though and have spent most your morning trying to find it I know loads of people who've chucked it for a variety of reasons over the last 10 years. Football isn't the same now. The fact that Lansbury was given player of the month after the FA basically admitted he's a cheat shows this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I don't see why people dont just read and post in the threads that they have an interest in, rather than getting all precious and upset when they go in there and upset themselves about something. If someone posts something you dont want to read ina thread you hold an interest in, then just be an adult and ignore it. Rather than posting some tedious comment about how other people should live their lives on the forum. Some people are interested in crowds, others aren't. If it is a conversation you are interested in but just disagree with the post, reply back with something constructive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
