Dazzler 5575 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Is Exile the same bloke from the Sunlin til I die series with about 3 teeth crying in the stands who's infamous on the socials for biting at mags on the wind up, and also for crying on Facebook because his wife keeps leaving him? If not, they seem very similar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17848 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Such odd people. Random thread pops up about Mark Knoppfler, don't know why. Third post down: There follows a long thread bashing Newcastle, death threats to Sam Fender, and talk of "music washing".* * In fairness, not all of them, but a sizable amount so fuck them. Edit: Apologies, I can see this was a historical thread. It was bumped because his new album references the Tyne apparently. Fewmin.

Meenzer 14095 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 He went to my schools in Gosforth, which I'd say is fairly Geordie, albeit soft-as-clarts Geordie. Granted, this will have been before the local government reform act so it'll still have been in Northumberland at the time, but acting like it's not always been a Newcastle suburb is bizarre like. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17848 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Yeah. Gosforth is County Northumberland marra so not NUFC. So is Wallsend come to that. Gateshead though is County Durham so is SAFC marra. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Born in Scotland to an Blyth mother and Hungarian dad, moved to Blyth when he was a toddler, and went to school in Gosforth. I think if we allow Dan Burn to be a Geordie then it's only fair that Mark Knopfler gets to be one too IMO. It's mental that they take such a huge problem with stuff like this, it's not like they don't have plenty of their own famous faces to be proud of. Such as Bobby Thompson, Lauren Laverne and that slag from Geordie Shore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 38886 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 If I never hear Local fucking Hero ever again it’ll be once too many. Having got that out the way, claiming Gosforth isn’t Geordie is Olympic Gold level mental gymnastics. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean he went to school in Newcastle and considers himself a Geordie iirc. Is a fan of NUFC. Brought up / schooled in the area so what’s the fucking problem? It winds them up for some reason yet at the same time they’re so irrelevant they try claim anything with a tenuous link* to Sunderland, Co. Durham as belonging to them. *or completely fictitious link like the Bilbao thing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30506 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 My favourite is how they are adamant that Sting used to support them then changed allegiance to us. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any actual evidence to back that up but, even if it’s true, how the fuck does that reflect well on them? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get through all 24hrs of every day without caring which famous person claims to support Newcastle United. If possible I care even less about which famous people claim to support Sunderland. My support for Newcastle is not really dependent on the whims of a minstrel who enjoys shagging at the pace of a geriatric sloth. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 27053 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I like a lot of the Eurythmics stuff but when I discovered Dave Stewart was a mackem I said to myself, 'I dinnot care that you and Annie are pleasing on me ear, ahve not listened to car salesmens bullshit to put up with Yee so dinnot tell me about any thorns in ya side, am not fucking interested now, marra.' 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye so basically anyone that’s famous that supports Newcastle is actually pretending seems to be their thing. Of course they at some point supported Sunderland, but changed for monetary reasons despite the mackems claiming the Sunderland fanbase are bigger, more respected by the rest of the UK and the world, it’s the logical move to try and make a cash grab by playing to a fan base they claim is smaller, fickle, and hated by everyone . Honestly man can they at least try to make some type of logical sense? Edited January 24 by Howay 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
