Toon Toon going Doon!

Soon we shall see the demise of the most deluded club in England. Newcastle look well down now; were totally outplayed by an average Arsenal yesterday.
No more torture of the Cult of Alan (no trophies with NUFC) Shearer, the "we are a mega club cos we get 53000 idiots a week" fans and we are only 11 signings and 5 years away from winning everything.
I love Geordie humour, their women are great, the nightlife is brilliant and the city has amazing theatres and live venues but the delusional footie fans grate like a ill fitting shoe.
The biggest pain for them will be the Mackems staying up, for another season at least.

NUFC: The club that embodies the term "delusions of grandeur".
What is it now 40 years since they last won anything (the old European Fairs Cup).

Could be worse, could be a Boro fan.
No Fans,
No Good Players,
No Hope!

At least Boro have actually WON something in the past 4 decades (League Cup 2004).

Not strictly true Flat_Eric. You've obviously forgotten Newcastle's Intertoto cup triumph (under Glenn Roeder in 2006).

Yep, you're right. I had forgotten that one.
And it (arguably) even trumps Boro's glorious victory in the Anglo-Scottish Cup back in the mid '70s !footie!.

For what its worth I am neutral. Live Oop North and have to work/socialise with a fair smattering of Toon fans, none who could find S J Park before Keegan arrived. They openly berate Man U, Liverpool etc and bang on about how good a ground S J P is, how many shirts they sell and seriously believe Shearer is the greatest sportsman ever to walk this earth, he has achieved cult/deity status in the Newcastle area.
What is scary is how many great players came out of the North East but didn't stay with local clubs...Jackie / Bobby Charlton, Gazza, Waddle, Pallister.....all won with other clubs.
The North East clubs punch so far under their weights it is quite scary.

You have wrote a number of posts regarding Newcastle (all negative).
What's the real issue?
And this whole "deluded fans" is so 2008!
