McFaul

A recent highlight of this forum, is the mackem defending Sunderland by using somewhere on South Tyneside in its' defence. pmsl You really could not make that up. "Eet ees Soolun een eet? Cleydon?!?! Soonlun man! Bewtuful anarrl"

It's not bait though, it's what I think. You have no real place trying to gauge popular opinion, seeing as though you've been away 20 years and couldn't see yourself living anywhere but London. You're the only toon fan I know with any time for Everton or Sunderland for example. Out of touch with reality, although I wouldn't worry about it. When was the last time you went to say 3 home games in a season? 20 years, understandable, but don't make out to these people that you're some sort of voice of the people. Most of my mates are more scornful of mackems than I am.

Incredible people. They've done a thread about toontastic on their board, one of the blokes is actually trying to abuse OUR accent :lol: Without question, not even banter, there are about what? 700m people worldwide who would class English as their first language. There's accents everywhere from Melbourne to Texas to Derry to Durban. I'm telling you this straight, not one is harder to listen to than mackem. I accept it might be partly bigoted but you hear a mackem accent, and you just pity them. You do, this isn't banter it's stating a fact. There's hardly one word they pronounce that is easy to listen to without you concentrating more on how they've said than the message they're trying to communicate. They are generally just common as fuck, they refuse to pronounce h's followed by vowels, they're desperate to be noticed but never will. How many times have Sunderland been mentioned on here recently? They're never mentioned generally apart from two big threads which are over a year old. A quick look on RTG shows there are 9 Newcastle topics on their front page, that's before you even get to the one about this board. They try to console themselves with "we-uh bo-ath as bad as eych uthur reyley" we're just not though. We don't care. If Sunderland won the FA Cup, I'd say fair play to the tramps. I remember when Boro and Sunderland went down on the same day, we celebrated Champions League qualification, we were so happy with the CL didn't bat an eye lid about the mackems. Shoe on the other foot, and the CL would be a foot note for them. They are the most downtrodden small minded people on these islands, and I think their major problem is lack of identity, which manifests itself in a hatred of geordies and NUFC. We're aware of who we are, so is the rest of the country, Sunderland if known at all, is known as a shithole near Newcastle, it's no wonder they are the way they are collectively, and have little or no self-esteem as a group.

Where in Sunderland has decent housing. Tell me somewhere in Sunderland you can buy a variety of houses for over say £350,000.

No it really isn't, I've understated it if anything.

Well I think everything you've said is a positive here. I'd rather have a few members who can talk in depth about football and a wide rang of subject than scores of fuckin spastics. If what you're saying is true then people find toontastic more interesting than Newcastle Online, despite having half the posters. I think that should be looked at as complimentary.

How would you like to see it change Ant? These unfriendly welcomes, I've never seen any evidence of them, unless the new member is a clear and present mug.

Aye.

The first toon board I went on probably about 2001, I can't remember if it was called Talk or the Tyne (may have been) or what, but it was ran by rivals.net. I think I posted as Stevie, not sure. Leazes remembers me off there, I was a bit of a cheeky cunt to people according to him. I didn't even know N-O existed, but went there about 2005, got banned in 2007 for exposing them. In the mean time I signed up here, and I thought it was a pals board at first but I stayed when I realised the doilum ratio wasn't too bad. Can someone answer Tom's question does this board get the most hits?

Lived in Bedlington too. How footballers lifestyles have changed. Fucking Bedlington. Arse end of Northern England.

When he scored his two goals that day, he did an aeroplane celebration, he did as well. Bet Gazza put him up to it. The Man Utd fans might've thought he was taking the piss out of Munich. He wouldn't pass, and he'd shoot from fucking anywhere 50 yards, 45 yards, he didn't care. People often exaggerate the distance a shot is from, but we played Liverpool at home in our relegation season, and honestly he shot from 45 yards, and hit the angle of post and cross bar, without doubt it would've been the best goal I've ever seen. He was a huffy twat though, him and Gascoigne rowed incessantly. I don't go along with the crack he was a flop because he did some good things here, but he wasn't top drawer, he could've been he just didn't have a football brain.

Very good read, this paragraph is the truest, football has lost its' spirit without a doubt. You've even seen Man Utd go 2-0 up and adopted a conservative approach, but Newcastle are the worst for it. It's been like this a lot under Pardew, there's been times we could've won games 4-0 and 5-0 but we go a goal in front, we're so rigid it's unbelievable. Fair enough many times last season, we stopped attacking and saw games out but we're easy to beat now. He's been here over two years now, we've beaten teams by more than one goal just 10 times, and more than two goals just four times. That is pretty shit.

I agree with that. Pardew is a plum mate, I'm the only one on here who's consistently said he's an arsehole even when we were 5th. At the same time, I don't think he's a shit manager, my two major problems with Pardew are his rimming of the board, no manager in world football praises their directors more than him, and his patronising way towards toon fans, which started with his lie about see a full kit wanker in a petrol station on his first visit to Tyneside.

Aye playing against the European Champions elect at a ground we hadn't won at for 20 years, as opposed to a home defeat against one of the worst 8 side I've seen in the Premier League in the last decade.

Got a text from me mate who sits beside me, he's missed 2 games since 1979, saying he's cancelling his DD till Ashley fucks off. I feel the same today tbh.

A very rare extremely good post from J69. Whoever is contradicting you is talking complete pish. Also just seen MOTD, I've defended him through blind loyalty but Pardew is getting worse. "Yohan was injured, the crowds reactions changed the whole mood" FUCK OFF! Patronising cunt. Aye its wor fault u take Anita and Marveaux off,wor fault u play Shola on the right,wor fault we lost cos we voiced dissatisfaction. Cunt

'We got Tudor from Sheffield and Hibbitt from Leeds, MacDonald from luton and Smith Aberdeen, But we've got the greatest the world's ever seen, we bought him from Blackpool, and his name was Tony Green'

Good points Isegrim. Good to see you back on here. What's the thoughts in Germany about Guardiola going to Bayern? They have the money and means to dominate European football now I think.

One of my mates dads when I was growing up, he didn't have a specialist hobby like gardening, or walking the dog, or shooting, or playing golf. All he ever did about from drink every single day, was talk about Tony Green and sing songs about him. He literally was obsessed by him even though we're talking late 80's early 90's and Green was early 70's I think. He only played something like 35 times for the toon, but the way my mates dad and other older people talk about him, you'd think you were talking about Pele, Maradona, Gazza and Matthaus rolled in to one. He must have had something.

You're too old for this type of thing, and you're clearly not young at heart.

"Ryder's Friday Analysis" At least 90% of the things he's saying in that article are irrelevant. His analogies are shit as well. He's on about Arbroath beating Bon Accord 36-0. Shut up. I want a local paper, which has a good reporter it's not too fucking much to ask. Every sentence an unfunny analogy. We shouldn't have a reporter, where the first thing you do when you read his articles are to look for his mistakes. That's what I do though because there's scores in every article, well not always mistakes just cringeworthy pish.

Pipe down - yes (immediately)

Wharton was remember highly for a last minute winner against Fulham in the promotion season, the fact is geordies will always look at geordies with rose tinted glasses. I think Paul Goddard deserves a mention in the good player bracket, he cost £415,000 in 1986, which was a fucking absolute fortune, probably the equivalent of £10m now, but he was very good, chipped in with the goals, always thought he had a bit of class about him.

You're not a younger kid now, you were 21 when I started using these forums you must be about 30 nuw!

I'm not an aggressive kid, but on Saturday night after the Norwich game I was in the pub, and this kid who is an acquaintance but no more, started slagging Keegan off. "Keegan is partly to blame for our position now", I had to walk out the pub, I was fantasising about doing what Begbie did in that pub in London, I just had to walk away. This kid is 34 so there's nee excuses, but I find that a lot of kids under 30 don't have enough respect for Keegan. Newcastle-Online lot used to be a lot like this, for what he did for this football club, putting us back on the map in 1992, in a way no one else could, he should command the highest respect of any person who's ever been involved in sport. His love of Newcastle United is unrivalled and the people who were touched by the magnificence of him as a player, or my generation as a manager and ambassador for NUFC and the North East of England will regard him as number one forever. However, you see little arseholes all of the time, clever little shites 18 to 29 slagging him off for a variety of things. They should be shot with shite the lot of them, and it's refreshing when you see younger kids like Jonny with such high regard for him.
