Well done, think you have summed this situation up rather well

NUFC fans, we're laughing at you, not with you! I give Tiny Tears a year and a half at most before he flounces off in a huff. And even then, they'll still want him back. Hilarious. I predict that Michael Own will be making a move out before the end of January, he can't stand KK.

Too true.He even slagged off Keegan in his book.

My money says he'll be off to Man City in the summer to join his mate Sven.I'd love Owen at Chelsea but cannot see for the life of me him moving down South.

Going back to Liverpool is another option,but no way while Rafa is still there,which does'nt seem likely to be too long.Robches wrote:

I don't understand why so many other supporters have such strong opinions on Newcastle, Mackems and maybe Smoggies I can understand.

But looking at forums like this you can read plenty of comments from Chelsea, Villa, Plymouth, Chester fans etc..

To be honest being a Newcastle fan, I'm not bothered what other teams do, and wouldn't bother leaving daft posts saying we are laughing at you and you will be relegated blah blah...

I mean if you are sitting there in front of your pc laughing alone about a football team you don'support or have no interest in, I'm kinda worried...

[biffalo]

Do you mean Nobcheese from a previous post Rico? I too am baffled as to why they get all pissy-knickered about our club...as you say we have no interest in theirs. Perhaps it's because the know that if if KK wants Wayne Bridge or SWP he knows he can get them and that they will come. Chelsea fans should really start worrying when Keegan goes knocking on their door for Drogba.

Have the "Keegan out, Shearer in" calls started yet, after tonights bore-draw?

[mrmcfister]

He will soon be sulking......can't believe the geordies are so fuckin thick!!!

[Rico78]

Can't quite believe your a twat, but no it's been confirmed you are a twat.

Rico78:It's called fan banter.If i got offended everytime Chelsea were slated on internet forums or when i go down the pub i'd lose the will to live.

And biffalo:if i'm the one you're refering to as 'nobcheese' then it shows how sad you really are,insulting people you don't even know.But like i said before,to me you are just little words on a screen.At least Rico does'nt aim insults at me,guess he's a gentleman.

I can't really understand the anti-Newcastle feeling myself.Accepted if you're a Sunderland fan but all my Newcastle comments are all tounge in cheek.I for one DON'T hate Newcastle,all my foes are more close to home,and with me being a sarrcy fucker we can throw Man U and Liverpool in that bracket as well.

Maybe it's because Newcastle is a 'One City Club'.Like i said before,i for one could not live in a City where everyone supported the same team.

I'm sure Rico78 and biffalo are 'die hard' barcode fans,like i'm a 'die hard' Chelsea fan and don't even associate myself with the prawn sandwich brigade,but boys,rise above it,and biffalo my darling,cut out the insults.I'm sure KK will make you a better team but be patient.

Thanks for listening !happy!
