So you were talking shite then? Thanks for clearing that one up. 32243[/snapback] If I knew you in real life, I'd buy you a big ice cream to cheer you up!

Just out of interest, ignoring the minorities comment, how are women in London so much better off? 32228[/snapback] They're employed in places other than Greggs. (joke)

How many times has the BNP got a council seat in Newcastle in recent years? 32218[/snapback] BNP are anti-women!? I've found attitudes towards immigrants to be extremely old fashioned. Do all people with these attitudes vote? Doesn't mean it's not there though. BTW, did you miss me?

I think your wrong. I can tell you i've heard enough at away games that, as a black person, i can feel uncomfortable. I've heard 'Titus, you thick black c**t' too often. O'Brien got stick in the end but he was always shite. This doesn't make me think all Geordies are necessarily actively racist (i haven't heard many black taunts from London accented NUFC supporters though, just the once actually, Tottenham away, facist maniac in the seat next to me, it had to be me ), but you wouldn't hear that at Arsenal, not these days, but i still hear it at NUFC games. I remember monkey chants being directed at Carl Cort when Wimbledon beat NUFC at Selhurst Park, and then we signed him, now he WAS crap but why call him a monkey? Whose more often than not the bogeyman who the supporters start blaming first? Ameobi, Bramble, Dyer, Jenas, Robert (polynesian i think - non-white anyway), Babayaro, Faye. People don't tend to hear what doesn't effect them, nor do they tend to notice a bias which isn't against them. All lot of you notice a bias from the southern media against Newcastle and because of that i notice it, i ask my mates (Londoners) they don't notice it.] I love the club, i don't love Geordies, i don't have an opinion, i don't know any! But i wouldn't automatically like someone because of their accent or place of birth. When i'm in the away section it's good to be with fans who support your club, it's f**king fantastic tbh and the way you speak if hysterical (in a good way) but don't tell me the insular attitude that is so publicly predominant if not representational of the region isn't gonna jump on the most obvious difference (skin colour) if they've got a gripe with that indivdual, because it always will. 32199[/snapback] Very sad and very true. Newcastle is still way behind London in a lot of ways, especially attitudes towards women and minorities.

I agree. Owen is footballing gold. You can't put a value on what that brings to the club in revenue and profile. Essien, well, it's Chelsea innit!? Nobody there cares what they spend so it doesn't count.

Up your game dull boy. I'm off for the weekend. Have a good 'un.

Just fuck off

Renton, I live up here. One reason I moved was so I could go and see Newcastle play at home and to get to know the city of the team I've always supported. I was born in the NorthEast, my father is from here, and I have family up here. I have always loved it. I happened to grow up in the south and lived in London for a few years. During all that time I supported Newcastle. No, not a soopafan, just a fan. I watched us get a beating countless times in various areas of London. I have a problem with some of the insular attitudes here. In order for us to be a successful club, it's essential that you have fans from outside the immediate area. I think unfortunately some fans have shot themselves in the foot taking the piss out of ManU for this very thing. They have realised the financial benefits of having a global fanbase. I think to be fair, we have now, but they had a head start. I understand your objections to fickle fans who change allegiance, that is inexcusable, but I'm sure you would rather we more like Real Madrid than Blyth Spartans (no offense to B.S.) And to the people who trot out lines like "I hate cockneys" or "I hate southerners", you are no better than Messers Winner or Sewell and consequently have no right to object to their comments.

Definitions of "race" 1:A local geographic or global human population distinguished as a more or less distinct group by genetically transmitted physical characteristics. 2:A group of people united or classified together on the basis of common history, nationality, or geographic distribution: the German race. 3:A genealogical line; a lineage. 4:Humans considered as a group. Jews are considered a race but are joined by religion rather than physical attributes.

Yes, and I bet you don't want anyone of an ethnic persuasion coming and stealing your women either do you!? FWIW, there's a fair few northerners in London....it's called moving. 27460[/snapback] Divvent try and make him sound racist man. 27462[/snapback] Well, he is. I'm southern, and he wouldn't want me here based only on that fact. That's entirely what racism is, believing a group of people are all bad and not seeing them as individuals. 27464[/snapback] For it to be racist you would have to be of a different race (hence the word race beign used) to him, ie he is caucasian and i imagine you are too, so it isn't racist in the slightest unless you turn out to be black, hispanic, asian or something else! Plus i bet there's loads of other reasons why he wouldn't want you up here. 27475[/snapback] Thanks for that mind numbingly dull post. You ROCK!!

Then that would be like taping a dodgy cover of a song by the pub duo on your answerphone. Or something.

I don't know if I agree. They SOUND friendlier because of the accent. I honestly think people up here are a lot less friendly than the image. Especially towards southerners. Still, you're friendly....let's build a bridge!

I've got one. "Making fun of the unfortunate people suddenly made everyone feel successful, funny and attractive!"

Would you be amused if someone nicked your car? Don't steal music. 27458[/snapback] It's more like someone making a copy of his car really, isn't it? 27461[/snapback] It's not though because the intellectual copyright is the music itself not the format it's on. If your business is music, you are losing sales just as a shop keeper who gets wankers shoplifting from him. I'm dead against it.

Unfortunately I am not intelligent enough to have a German moniker.

Bellamy's attitude was enough for me to be glad to see the back of him. Owen's twice the player Bellamy is with about a tenth of the baggage. In isolation, a bad attitude doesn't appear to do much harm, but the knock on effect of poor discipline on borderline players is huge. I think Ameobi and Chopra will benefit hugely from having Owen around.

Well, I'm surprised you're being so thoughtful on their behalf! If it wasn't football, I'd agree with you, but Villa are directly competing with us for a European spot and the Worthington Cup. 27261[/snapback] Wow, what decade you living in? 27275[/snapback] Ok, Carling Cup, Milk Cup, DD Cup, Whatever-the-fuck Cup, League Cup, You-know-what-I-mean Cup.

Then I'm forgiven!!? 27267[/snapback] No, now fuck off. 27294[/snapback] Fuck you right back!

Then I'm forgiven!!?

I'm am positive, just not towards Villa. That's not weird.
