McFaul

It's been fucking boiling a few times when I've been as well. When we got off the plane the last time it was almost 100 degrees at Schipol. In Amsterdam that afternoon a few of the locals had taken paddling pools out with them to stick their feet in when they sitting outside drinking. You wouldn't get that in the Toon. I went 96 97 98 99 twice and Euro 2000, and the scenario is the same to me. I've never been to Schiphol when there's been a cloud in the Sky, lush view of Amsterdam and up as far as that mad area where Groningen is from the plane. I really like Holland, not just Amsterdam, I like how orderly everything is, very green too. A lot of the people are arrogant cunts, but there's plenty of arrogant English people, and one thing you could never ever accuse the Dutch of is lack of personality. They are not that different to us really. See when I was in Eindhoven for England v Portugal, we'd read that it was a grotty industrial town, it was fucking immense!!! I was expecting Middlesbrough but it was nothing like it. One pedestrian street with pubs going for a mile, full of England fans actually behaving, brilliant days, people like getting a tan on holiday and you're probably not guaranteed one there but regardless of your age you could have a good fucking break in Holland like really. I've noticed your autistic traits I've noticed your Forrest Gump like style of running from the pics you've used. Tom I've been to Euro2000, saw three games in Holland, only downside to the tournament was England were shit, and they didn't just let us stay in Holland, Charleroi fuck me, nee wonder Albert liked living here. Wish I'd have been at Feyenoord in 2003 by the way.

29% of you are on the dole man, the highest percentage of any city over 200,000 pop in the Western World. Fucking axe wiedling parafins.

Belgium is shit, well Brussels and South, absolutely shite Liege and Charleroi it's like being in the North West man, compared to Holland it's an utter wankhole.

I've been five times and never went to no museums like, but the Heineken and Anne Franks ones are supposed to be belta. Every single time I've been it's been Med weather, and nowt better than wasting your day away playing football and lazing around in the Vondel Park.

Nar haha. Last time I was there was for Euro 2000, only got wrecked two nights in 17 days, drunk every day though. The best place in Amsterdam (as I told you) is Leidsesplein, which is where the dutch go. Wouldn't agree with you there like. I've been loads of times and while I like it round there, it's pretty touristy tbh. The Pijp and to the south of there, for example, are much more authentically Dutch. There's a fuck off Bulldog coffee shop and a Hard Rock Cafe right on the Leidseplein ffs It's a lot more pleasant than Red Light District like. The last time I was in Leidsesplein, it was the most perfect night ever. Perhaps my judgement is clouded by the fact we had such a good night. Holland were playing the Czech Republic that night actually in Amsterdam, and even though there were 50000 three miles away in the stadium, it felt like every Dutch person in the world was there. It was fucking absolutely brilliant, everyone and I mean like everyone all in orange, they go far more mental for Holland than we go for England even. Just found all the bars and the whole atmosphere intoxicating. I wouldn't even go to back to the Red Lights district seedy as fuck, people trying to shove coke up your nose "nar a divvint wanna see a show with a black man with a 12 inch cock mate", but Leidesplein took me like, never been to the bit your on about, had a night in Amstelveen once, was like a night in Chapel House with pubs like The Peregrine.

Are you pelanising him for it ? Quality. I was also going to cite Waddle for crimes against the Geordie accent. In that documentary following Graham Taylor and the England team when Ronald 'Cheating Dutchman whose grandparents probably shopped Anne Frank' Koeman does a reverse choke hold on David Platt getting only a yellow then scoring the free kick that kept us away from USA '94 I can recall Lawrie McMenemy uttering in his distinct rumbling tones 'Do we not get a pelanty like?'. what a bench of inspiration Lawrie Mac, Taylor and Phil fucking Neil. Compared to people like Mourinho and Guardiola, it really was like a real life Mike Bassett scenario.

You forgot your favourite, The Daily I Suck Big Black fuckin cocks after I drank a can of fuckin skol Canny problem page in that one.

:D :D

Chris Waddle's is so bad I think he puts it on a little bit.

Sunderland have a great owner, have their best team arguably in living memory, were unbeaten against the the best 5 teams at home last season, have signed 9 decent players this summer. While Newcastle sold their best young striker in years, have been deliberately lied to, have been relegated, had managers that have been sacked for no logical reason, have been taken the piss out of, have been proven in court that they are held in contempt by the owners, have no clear long term plan, will sell their best players when the optimum value time is right, and are largely directionless. Yet still 8000 more fans stream in to the the stadium every week. Not only that our ticket prices are at least 60% more than Sunderland's. 28 QUID FOR THE BEST SEATS IN THE HOOSE!! That's about £70 odd at Newcastle for the biggest 5 games of the season, cheapest tickets 45 quid in a recession. If we had your ticket prices, they'd need to build level 8 and level 9 never mind level 7. EASILY 2:1 in our favour in the North East. Even in Co.Durham we probably have more supporters, towns like Darlo completely in our favour half of Hartlepool support us, and this is past your catchment area even. 2:1 is conservative. Nah, deluded. And don't go giving it the "we've been treat so poorly" bollocks, if you'd had it as bad as we have over the past 20 years then would you fuck have 40,000 coming in through the gates. We had 47,000 regularly coming in between 2000-2002 and then Bob Murray and Reid fucked us off, two relegations with two record points lows... and you wonder why some fans are still finding it hard to believe in the club these days? Its going to take years to shake off the damage those two relegations did to the club, to still have an average of 40,000 coming in, and still get the odd crowd of 48,000 here and there is absolutely fucking unbelievable. Don't try and deride Sunderland's support because for all your bitching and moaning about whats happened at Newcastle over the last few years, its nothing compared to what we've been through matey, perhaps you should try and get your head around that. It's the present we're dealing with though no good moping about the past when you have a good side there now, besides our fall has been greater than yours, you've always been shite, and if you paid our ticket prices you'd be getting 23 or 24000 absolute tops. Bob Murray even said as much when you were moaning circa 2003, about not being able to compete with Newcastle, although its only a short while ago, gate income was a lot more important than it is now.

Well answer me this. I know like Durham City accent/SBR/Tom accent doesn't sound mackem. However, can someone look in me in the eye and say Bryan Robson has no hint of mackem in his accent? I tell you what, childish as it is, part of what I was saying was a wind up, part I actually believe in, but I doubt anyone has had as many bites as that on the toon tweet line. I've had every nationality, cunts from every city pmsl it is childish but so it briefly entertained me. You could drive from where Bryan Robson was born to where Tom was born in about 90 seconds Well I've spoken to Tom, and he doesn't sound like Bryan Robson like.

Up players arses did you read my initial post. You have too much to say for yourself these days since you got that job in Seaburn or where ever.

Course it is. 2 days after I mention the "players committee" he's taking the piss. Course just a coincidence that

One of the many reasons I hate Smith is he championed himself as one of the key men which held the club together, when the fact of the matter is if he was good enough to command a 60k salary with another Premiership club, he'd have been away quicker than you could say fuck off you shit Yorkshire cunt. I'll always believe that, while the players who left were branded foreign mercenaries by the self appointed "players committee". Clear and present proof Joey reads toontastic

I love those little Albert Hejn shops as well, food over there was cheap and pure quality.

Nar haha. Last time I was there was for Euro 2000, only got wrecked two nights in 17 days, drunk every day though. The best place in Amsterdam (as I told you) is Leidsesplein, which is where the dutch go.

The last time I was there in Jordaan which is just up from the Damrak, I remember a gay knocking shop which had "Y NOT" on the front in big letters, did you try there?

Forgetting our current maligned status, I'd guess there at least 20000 fans who won't go near the stadium while Ashley is there. There are some on here even.

The references give a glowing endorsement of what Sunderland has to offer too...

absolute gold, especially cos he looks like a cross between Herman Munster and Mr Logic. Then he got his lass @emilyprentice1 to add me and tell me off, but she sharp piped down and she agreed he was a mug by the end of the conversation. He's the kid who scored the pen on takeitlikeafan actually. I was laughing at his reaction like. Also you seen his twitter background? Not sure what its meant to be but all I see is loads of mackem badges. I think it says 5-1 behind his main board. I'm going to start a campaign. He's ganna get me paulwyn'd for saying he had a mackem accent, he did as well. Mebeez I should accept it's not 1991 nee more and most people haven't got a clue.

:D :D :D :jesuswept: Where's that from A Love Sewpr-ea-m?

That's what I was thinking. You get sick of it after 3 days. Nice place for a short break but oh dear.

There are no nice lasses in Sunderland Newcastle have 3 or 4 times as many fans as Sunderland (my personal favourite) Nobody from outside Sunderland would go to Sunderland for a night out All just total deluded bullshit Well most Sunderland lasses are mingers, that's undeniable, I don't know if it's diet or what. Not all though that glamour model Leanne Crow is nice...for a mackem. Do you think it's unrealistic baring in mind the Keegan years to say we have a national and international fanbase 3 or 4 times bigger than Sunderland??? We've had title bids, numerous European journeys, CL, Cup Finals, we have a lot of hangers on around the world, Sunderland will have very few. It's 2:1 in the NE alone, we get a lot of fans even from traditional Sunderland areas like Pea-ter-lea even where as Sunderland fans in Newcastle areas are like rocking horse shit. The only people who would go for a night out in Sunderland are people from your satelite towns like Horden, Houghton, Boldon, 'Etton Lee Oah-al etc.. cos they'll naa nee different really.
