Guest henryb1 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Anybody know whats happened to him on the Legends? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Monkey Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Dunno, never listed to it (mainly cos of "Super"Mac. Gates is a cracking after dinner speaker, though. One of the best on the local circuit, and one of the better ones nationally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Yup - he's not been on the show the last couple of nights. Perhaps he's on holiday for a week or two ? Gatesy is good craic - for a mackem. Brings a lot to the show, IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 They said century had decided to just have 2 legends for now, didn't they? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 They said century had decided to just have 2 legends for now, didn't they? Did they ? Doesn't sound good - guess there must have been a falling out ? I know Gatesy has fallen foul of the powers that be, in the past - think that happened when he was with Metro.

LocalHero Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Could just be taking holidays, but I hope he's back soon. Legends is different without him. Bernie doesn't seem to grief Newcastle as much, and its Bernie and Eric who make the show funny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supermac might be a gob-$hite, but he's still a legend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I cant believe a word mac says, he baltently doenst know what he's talking about and fans constantly phone in to correct him. That and the constant "When i was a player, i would run 50miles a day after practice" "when i was a player i would make sure i scored 300 goals in training each day before i went home" etc etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Supermac's funny in his own way. He just goes on and on and on with the same old stories. Like, he always goes back to, "3 years ago...Newcastle United had a match against Manchester United that if they won, they would have had a chance to win the title. They went onto lose that match, and Manchester United pipped Arsenal to the title". And he always talks about how many strikers West Ham have, and how they don't miss Ashton, even though they're bottom of the Premiership. And this week, he's been saying how Newcastle started against Boro with one goalkeeper, 3 centre-halves, 6 midfielders, and a centre-forward, and when it looked like Martins was gonna go off for Sibierski, it would have left them with 7 midfielders and a 3 centre-halves, lol.

Tooj Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Why is it that it's always the thickest of the thick that ring these shows up? The worst are the ones who phone up practically every night and think themselves best mates with Slaven. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Bloody hell, is this true? Gates is the only one even vaguely worth listening to on that show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I stopped listening to it a while back, just couldnt listen to Mac anymore, and theres no way he should be representing our club. He drivels on about the same stuff, and talks utter bollox every show. He never seems to answer the real questions, like he's scared he wont be allowed into SJP again if he does. Slaven...ar**hole. Gates... North East lad, only one worth listening to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Yup - Supermac does seem reluctant to speak out against the board and Freddy Shepherd. Perhaps it's because if he does, he'll be barred from the ground as with what happened to Chris Waddle (if memory serves). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danh1 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 This has guttened me, Gates is hilarious. I beleive the show will go downhill from here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Just confirmed "the station have decided to have only two Legends from now on. The show will have special guests occasionally and Eric will still pop in from time to time." Fucking shite. Eric is the life of that show, Bernie hasn't got enough in him to cancel out Malcolm's incredibly boring voice and personality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
