Surely we can’t be losing our identity already we haven’t even won owt, or become anywhere near a global club yet. Its fucking tragic like, could even hear the mackems giving it the old constant Haway The Lads yesterday, we can’t even muster that these days. Yep, you watch the match cam and it’s the same generic united song. Blaydon Races, boot boys, etc seem to have disappeared Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s reasonable point. The Yeomen of Newcastle shafted South Shileds as it was a massive threat because of where it is situated. There’s no huge hatred of Newcastle because of that. I think it’s ok to say yo could loop the Jacobite stuff in then jus the general economic competitiveness of the two places. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoreboard82 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Got to admit I was a nervous wreck until our pen. Yes I know, different leagues and all that but we've seen us fail to turn up against lower league sides so often over the years and even at 2 up I'm thinking they get one back, crowd get a lift and who knows? We've been good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory this season. Suppose I'm just an NUFC pessimist but many decades have made me that way. Couldn't have went any better as it turned out. We were stronger, cleverer. Were knicking the ball from the off. We really put them in their place and showed them how far behind us they are. I'd be happy to never play them again and let this hang over them. I keep thinking I don't care as much as I once did but it was as if life depended on it on Saturday.

Surely it’s in reference to the team? Not the fans… Whos that team they call United? Who’s that team we all adore? Well they play in B&W and they all know how to fight… We’ll support you ever more.

That's exactly how it played out for me. I only started to relax with about 5 mins to go and the penalty sealed it. If they had pulled one back at 2-0 with 15 mins to go the game might have taken a different trajectory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it wasn't many. I was expecting more considering they play some of the best football in Europe and could mix it with CL regulars like Milan, PSG etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) What would the "head to head" be if you gave two wins to the team who was in the higher division? I'm guessing it'd still be tight but given they had a bit of a head start on us just with them being formed before we were... Like us being only 1 ahead seems a bit shit since we've been way ahead of them for 6 years now and we've not had a chance to beat them.

It’s definitely “we”. Remember it’s from a different era when pagga was unfortunately part and parcel of attending football. The greatest pity though is that we again don’t sing the whole song. The verses referencing Joe Harvey (the last manager to actually win a bloody cup, I’m not having the intertoto whatever UEFA say) and beating Spaniards by the score.

Not quite sure what that means but we've been in the topflight more despite the headstart and then you've got their 5years in the third tier where we were two divisions ahead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
