Guest reefatoon Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Apart from a handful of people on here, the conversation never turns to this when discussing with other people (also other people’s fans). Whenever the topic is brought up when talking with people from work etc, it’s always about football and the amount of money and how we will be a force etc. Seems to me the only place this is talked about is by a handful of people on here banging the drum. So you think your work is representative, but the forum with loads of people from all walks of life isn't? Surely it's the other way round. Not my point at all, and I know you only pop in here for argumentative reasons. I was only saying there are about 5 people on here who constantly bang on about it, but I don’t hear it from anywhere else. I don’t take you opinion any higher than anyone else’s though, should I? You will always get a minority of people with what may appear to be strange beliefs that don't fit in with the majority I like people having different takes/beliefs that don’t fit in with the majority. Just think the calling people stupid for not having the same outlook is not needed at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I'll stay like I have the last few years. Watch the game if I'm not doing anything else not really caring about the result. It's obviously harder for people from Newcastle and fair enough. Hopefully you can get passed who owns us and can enjoy whatever happens next. I dare not say success, just a club that tries.
