sfc4prem Posted 26 February, 2023 Posted 26 February, 2023 I do wonder whether Sky has received extra income recently from somewhere in the Middle East, pertaining to their discussions about a certain northern club.

Holmes_and_Watson Posted 26 February, 2023 Posted 26 February, 2023 Sad to see Murphy wave bye bye to the Man Utd players, as they go to collect their trophy. Sad to see Bruno finish his man child rolling about, only to find out his team didn't win. Sad to see their murdering owners not quite get sportswashing over the line. Sad to see the most, special fans on Earth, doing exactly what everyone else does, but in a more special way, come away with nothing. 4 1

We’ve won one trophy in our history which you’d need to be over 50 to have any memory of. We aren’t in a position to laugh at other clubs failures when it comes to winning stuff 1

Hawkswood Posted 26 February, 2023 Posted 26 February, 2023 Oh thank god for that. Can't stand those pricks. Always irritated me a little with their "" best fans in the country "" nonsense , but definitely my new go to hate club. At least one result went my way this weekend 3

whelk Posted 26 February, 2023 Posted 26 February, 2023 Sky seem to think it is a significant sign that CL and World Cup winners celebrate a cup final win. Twats

Just bollox In fairness, statistics on population are always contentious as I have found in many a pub quiz where you have to list the largest cities in the UK. 800k is about right if you look at the Tynside area rather than Newcastle itself. But then wikipedia puts Southampton's urban population at 855k.
Fan The Flames Posted 27 February, 2023 Posted 27 February, 2023 I was listening to the run up on BBC and they were just as bad. Steve Crossman was nauseating about the amazing gordie fans, he built up how loud the noise would be when the Newcastle team sheet was read out and it just didn't happen, there was a very ordinary cheer. The fawning over the newest rich team is irritating. 1

Newcastle upon Tyne itself was about 298,264 in mid 2021. It all depends on where you draw the borders. Back in my Chamber of Commerce days Eastleigh and Fareham were each around 120,000. All very argumentative.

whelk Posted 27 February, 2023 Posted 27 February, 2023 Admittedly grounds weren’t of same capacity in the 80s but these stats dispel the myth that Geordies come out in numbers regardless 1

Kenilworthy Posted 27 February, 2023 Posted 27 February, 2023 On April 11 1981 there were just 11,013 in St James Park to see them play Cambridge in the old second division. But they have always had massive support...
cloggy saint Posted 27 February, 2023 Posted 27 February, 2023 I guess most of the anti-Newcastle comments are born out of jealousy, which is fair enough, I'd be quite happy to be bought by some despotic regime with bottomless pockets. 1

FarehamSaintJames Posted 4 March, 2023 Posted 4 March, 2023 Caceido of Brighton has just signed a new contract little over a month after going on strike and trying to drive a move. Money talks eh!
