Chris_R Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Fans in "enjoying winning matches" shock. As a Newcastle fan, I enjoyed our last 2 Championship campaigns. Doesn't make it a "better league" than the PL though, that's just bobbins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't prolific and missed a good chance to win the Final for them in normal time but he's a good outlet. Did they sign that other kid they had from Everton in the end?

I recall a ‘cheeky little rascal’ of a builder turning up to work on the Milburn stand in a red & white top on the first day Bobby Robson arrived at the club. He (somewhat sensibly on the roof…) was met with about fifty sets of keys being waved in his direction 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say obsessed is having over 6,000 comments on a NUFC thread on their poxy rtg site. Vile mingers. Both fanbases are obsessed and it's class, I'm not local but find the competition about which side is less obsessed fucking hilarious (even when we clearly win it). We have ~55.000 posts in their threads since March 2016 and they've been completely irrelevant to the footballing world for five of those six seasons.

Just shows how fucked up they are when they choose it as a nickname… Naah, there’s a rich history of adopted negative epithets and turning them round. Spurs and “yid” is just one example.

I’ve never heard it as a derogatory term before. Of course the most recognised explanations are the mining lamp and the areas support of the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715 and George 1st. Isn’t Coffee Johnny also potentially a rascist term regarding skin colour alongside the fellas penchant for the hot drink in his famous reference in the “Blaydon Races”?

Who reportedly wouldn’t leave the house in the morning without a big tankard of coffee. I can identify 😉; never heard anything re his ethnicity.
