I am not obsessed about NUFC but simply feel it my duty to correct mis-information, idiocy, myopia and hypocrisy and if it makes some of you check yourselves then job done. I suspect many of us are not travelling as much and often in zoom calls I can be on this site or other football sites when I am passive in meetings. It is not due to some new found obsession with NUFC it is just a side effect of the new world. The recent takeover has just exacerbated the "noise" you all make which has led to this thread being bigger than ever.

NUFC are not some European heavyweight they are one city club in an area where alcohol and football go hand in hand and there is little competition from other sports. They are not the only club to like a number 9, they didn't invent flag waving, they didn't invent photo's on the pitch, they weren't in the Champions League every season in the 1990's and 2000's, the aren't bigger than (<insert club who player prefers to go to>) the list goes on. The huge obsession from likely a small section on Adam Johnson baffles me when considered against Osmond, Cisse and the racist allegations against Beardsley. Ditto the shit seating (that didn't happen) in comparison to someone driving 20 miles to pee on a statue of a former Newcastle player. The hypocrisy of United with Pride wearing NUFC shirts when they would not be welcome in the majority owners country baffles me. The blurring of history such as booing Robson for finishing 5th and then building a statue and repeatedly using this "you will do for me" shows no self awareness. History also blurred regarding Ashley when under his stewardship you got to Europa 1/4 final's. But yet it was 14 years of pain. I am not alone on this site in being able to rattle off example after example of mis-information, idiocy, myopia and hypocrisy.

We know who we are and don't pretend otherwise. The fact we were the "Bank of England" club 00+ years ago is meaningless and likewise the fact that you "almost" won the league a 1/4 of a century ago is also meaningless.

The one thing (amongst many) that stays with me and absolutely sickened me was when one of thier fans (Newton Aycliffe🤣) actually came to the SoL and decided to urinate on a statue of a much loved and respected manager of Sunderland.
He was from Newcastle and played for them...and this magamongthecats fella has the audacity to talk about irony!!
He very much needs to re-educate and attain some modicum of self-awareness.

Surely they'll have turned down bigger offers than that from Spurs and Man U in the last three years?

Actually heard the phrase "scouse Mackems" from one of them the other day in spoken word. I thought it might be just people on twitter etc but no they actually say that :lol:

Tbf I've been in the away end a Goodison when we've only had 600 there (619 to be precise) for a Premier League game. I was also there in 2017 when we took 400 down there for a League Cup game when a young Dominic Calvert-Lewin tore us to shreds. It's a pretty grim place in all honesty.

We don't claim to be the best fans in the universe and have a 40k waiting list though.
