adios 717 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Had a quick look on N-O. It's Alan fucking Oliver. ;) In the last 10 posts: Can anyone reassure me about what qualities Glen Roeder brings to Newcastle as manager?This is a man who managed three small southern teams and was a total failure at all of them, that’s a fact. There is nothing in his career as a coach or manager which shows he has what it takes at any level of management never mind the top. Just doing ok as a caretaker manager for a few games proves nothing. I am a season ticket holder and have been for years and so I will get behind the team like I always do. But I don’t hold any great hopes for the season , I hope I am proved wrong. Is there any other premiership club who would have gone for Roeder as manager ? And I am not talking of the top 4 or 5 but any team at all? The England players must be loving all this over the top nonsense about Ronaldo.It takes away from the utter shite england were throughout the tournament. The players kept telling anyone would listen that they were the greatest team in history. Well the world cup proved that the majority of england players are over hyped, over rated, over paid bunch of mediocrity’s. They are not capable of competing with the best in the world. I am not that fussed about england (AKA London United ) so wasn’t that bothered but I hope the divvies who were bubbling in the street after the Portugal games learnt a lesson. 3 topics on here: Newcastle identity: Geordies ?

Guest alex Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Told you Apparently I'm happy to be subservient to the London-based overlords (or something) because I thought the British Library was a good place to keep the Lindisfarne Gospels. I think that my not really giving a shit pissed him off more though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkinthedog 0 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 While since I drank down the Quay like. Its the new big market. While the big market *shudder* is more where the dregs of society hang out. In fact, no, its where what the dregs of society call the dregs of society hang out. Oh that and 14 year olds etc. I think the decent place (depending on what kind of night you are after), is now around the central. Revolution, Acora (old Empress), 55', etc. Mind, owld fogy that Im getting, I also like a drink in the Telegraph or up the top end. Aye... used to be the Farmers or the Doll (RIP). Mind, everything was black and white then like... 168968[/snapback] The Doll! Brought a tear to my eye reading that. Used to be a good spot to park the car on match days too.

JawD 31 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Aye The Broken Doll. Some heavy nights in there like. A cracking range of Theakstons with a great atmosphere and an easy crowd. Some good live bands there as well. Used to stagger from there to the halal takeaway or the chilli pepper before getting a taxi (or walking) home.

curry stained pilchard 0 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 (edited) I recently had nights out in both Jesmond and the Newcastle quayside and it was noticeable that there seemed to be virtually no Geordie accents to be heard in any of the bars we went to.In fact hearing people talk it felt like we could have been in the Home Counties and not Tyneside. I can’t help but think that the influx of southerners has resulted in Newcastle losing its Geordie identity. The quayside has been colonised by wealthy people from down south, as they are practically the only people who can afford the property prices. Many local people have been marginalised in their own city. It seems to me that many of the southern incomers have an almost contemptuous attitude to local people. I have no complaints about people coming to live in Newcastle from other parts of Britain and the rest of the world but its seems a great shame that while Newcastle was once a city known for having a strong identity it could now almost be seen as Essex on Tyne. 168730[/snapback] HERE MAN JACKIE, GAN DOON THE RURSE N CROON AFTA THE MATCH AN' YUL HERE THE GEORDIE ROAR, MAN!!!

Having said that, the northumbrian probably only reads the Journal and the Chronicle. "What need do Geordie people have to hear of events taking place outside of the region? If I want to know what's happening in Lebanon and I want some southern based shandy drinker to tell me about it in his posh accent, I'll ficking well move there and ask him."

I particularly love the vent your spleen section on the right-hand side - created especially so people can phone in and leave their thoughts on an answering machine because they are illiterate.

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 The Vent Your Spleen section in the Ronnie seems to be a daily slagging match between young people and old people. Someone rang in ages ago to whinge about old people queuing in post offices at dinnertime and since then it's been a long campaign of 'I hate old people' and 'I'm elderly and hate young people'.
