Absolutely hit the nail on the head here.

You’d think that football fans would want their club to be a representation of their community, but the mags campaigned relentlessly to be something very different.

Unbelievable as it seems now, but when the prospect of then Saudi takeover was first raised, it was thought that there would be a sizeable amount of decent mags who would campaign against the takeover. If that had happened it could have caused a lot of disruption. How could a sportswashing project succeed if there’s protests against it inside and outside the stadium?

In the event, just about all the mags absolutely disgraced themselves. As they saw it the deal presented to them was “we’ll give you a load of top players and move you 10 or so places up the league, if you act as if there’s nothing wrong with us and cheer and clap at the expected times”. They were almost hysterical in their desire to ditch their history and take on the role of pathetic, servile hobbits for this despotic regime. Bereaved widows, human rights organisations and everyone else were all told to fuck off as they scrambled to turn their football club into the grotesque Frankenstein’s monster it is now.

I’ve got issues with Leeds fans, Boro fans, and others for various reasons, but I can’t deny that they are proper football fans of proper clubs. The mags are now something very different. Something essential is now missing, similar to MK Dons.

And they really don’t have a proper identity anymore. Most of them actually want to change the name of the stadium to the Aramco Arena now!

Dont forget the NE media who devoted a full news programme ( both channels)on takeover day and harped on about it for a year pre takeover. Along with the NE journalists who lick Saudi hoops relentlessly.

I actually went to an evening wedding party when the groom changed from his suit into his football top. Classy or what.

Dont understand the we are Geordies shite. No fucker in the country gives a shite.

Do they think Mancs , scousers , cumbrians, cornish ( the list goes on) are envious . They're not , they're proud of where they come from and couldn't give 2 shites about f***ing Geordies, or the rest of the country generally.

I do know folk often show a dislike toward other parts of the country if they find the fuckers intolerable.

So keep it up

I've always said this. Only probably Scousers revel in the monicker and stereotypes as much as those fellas. Its insecurity at best, ingrained personailty disorder at worst.
Seriously lads, be proud of where you're form but really no-one cares.
 
Slightly off-topic but TalkSPORT have been advertising the PIF’s LIV Golf tournament.

Should a premier league broadcaster be accepting advertising slots from the owners of a premier league football club?

Also, Bet 365 and Stoke advertising on Sky Sports always made me scratch my head. How is it allowed?

I happen to think that Sam Fender is a talented songwriter…..but my god….he is so far up his own “whey, am Ah Geordie man!…Luv tha toon…” arse that he is just a parody of himself now. There is a pic of him with Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp in the Bridge and Beck looks bemused at best….Depp looks all Hollywood dressed down style….and Fender looks like a pissed up knacker reflecting in their fame and dare I say talent. Which is exactly what he is. Flame burning bright right now….the Sportswasher‘s poster boy….but can see him fizzling out just as quickly.

I saw some comments on that photo and a load were he's "a proud Geordie". What does that even mean man?
Moar people are proud of where they come from - the industrial heritage etc but don't need to 1. Refer to themselves in the third person constantly, 2. Put a name on it and 3. Think they're somehow different to others simply due to supporting a certain football club.

What pisses me off is the whole of Britain think if you're a geordie you're a mag and that's the way the idiots portray it. I'm proud to be geordie but I'm also a proud sunderland supporter and I always make a point of telling people also
 
What makes someone a “Geordie”🤷‍♂️
Like a proper one, not one who says he’s one cos he supports the filth

I once asked a lifetime fan and he said

“Got to be born on the banks of the Tyne mate”

“South Shields is on the banks of the Tyne”

“Nor man”

“You’re from Jarrow”

Fuck knows what it takes these days, birthed under the Tyne Bridge with Jimmy Nail singing, Denise Welch as midwife and Gazza cutting the cord with his tooth

He tried to, go back to my earlier post about Durham Wasps. His vision was for a hub for local sports to be based at Newcastle Maybe that was the catalyst for the Geordie nation and not us Sunderland supporters
