TTWTB is my least favourite football fan of all time. I include all of Sunderland's fans in that, Man U, Man City and Chelsea come-latelys, teeth girl, I could keep on going. The man is a complete and utter pain in the arse.

They just give the media an excuse to trot out the usual "crazy mag" routine, honestly think their doing more harm than good. If you rock up in your Sky outside broadcast van who are you gonna stick a mike in front of that nutter or someone sensible.

Hammer and sickened

from nufc.com

 

From the BBC, Thursday:

 

A Newcastle United fan has dug up and removed a commemorative brick from a walkway at the football club's ground.

Graeme Cansdale, who is a member of the Mike Ashley Out campaign, bought the brick for his father 11 years ago.

 

He said he reclaimed the brick in protest at the name change from St James' Park to Sports Direct Stadium.

 

"For those who are worried about health and safety we did replace it with the same sized brick," he said. Newcastle United declined to comment.

 

Mr Cansdale said: "Eleven years ago I bought what was called a heritage stone that was sold by the club, Newcastle United, to, you know, be part of the fabric of St James' Park.

 

"Now, almost a week after Mike Ashley decided to annul the name of St James' Park, and ignore 119 years of history, I decided to safeguard my part of St James' Park by chiselling my brick up."

 

The brick was part of a path laid on St James' Way at the football ground. Mr Cansdale said he does not think taking it was illegal.

 

He said he handed in a letter to the managing director, Derek Llambias, warning him the brick was about to be removed, was careful not to damage surrounding bricks and filled the hole with a replacement brick.

 

He stresses the brick belongs to him: "I've actually reclaimed my own property. It has a certificate of ownership.

 

"Now that St James' Park no longer exists I think I've every right to protect my property."

 

Mr Cansdale said he would not return the brick while owner Mike Ashley remained at the club.

 

This is what Ashley & Llambias love the most. Seeing diehard fans get their knickers in a twist. They will be dining out on this for weeks.

Getting a bit sick of people ridiculing these lads. They're doing more than any of us are typing onto a f***ing website.

 

I have to agree. He's achieving nowt but we shouldn't knock people who get off their backsides to stand up for what they believe in. No matter how futile it is and how stupid they look :lol:

 

I too agree. Unless they're saying stupid shit they're doing nowt wrong. It's good for people to stand up for what they believe in.

I think it's the hypocrisy from this individual that gets me.

 

'Thanks for letting me fulfil the dreams of millions of Newcastle fans for letting me train with my heroes in front of thousands on the hallowed turf, now fuck off'.

 

Anyone else, say the poor bloke who felt the need to rip up his brick and I'd be in full support. This knacker though just comes across as the type who wants a bit fame.
