Newcastle Fan from Leicester

[Nalis]

2 pages slating Newcastle based on one guy's badly written opinion.

 

Most Newcastle fans I know are fairly grounded.

[FrankieADZ]

bit of arrogance in that imo, 

can of funny to say about supporters when a fair few newcastle fans wouldnt go when Ashley was in charge but i suppose its understandable

also the post stinks of sour grapes 

[MattFox]

Not beating these on the final day in 1992 and consigning them to the footballing scrap heap is one of the worst things we’ve done as a club

Like scouser's they're all sound to talk too. But I have this weird view that they're different from everyone else and a bit superior when it comes to support for their football team.

Definitely a northern thing .

It didn’t matter that we went down to 4-0 because our fans kept singing and they showed what we truly are.
 

Maybe if they stopped acting like they were loving it when getting pasted, the players might actually respond with some fight.

[TrentFox]

Geordie Arabia must be very satisfied with their lot tonight - out singing the ‘Pool. Oh, by the way, they’re losing. Again.

Strange one, make your own opinion, bit sad really.

Assume he's going for foundation level. Might get him to that magic GCSE C grade, if it even hits the word count.

 

Predictable-and-a-bit-nauseating/10.

What a mad day that was.

Yes that was the narrative of that final game of the season. We could go up automatically with a win and they could go down if they lost.

 

The reality is that, despite the excitement of the pitch invasion, the result had no bearing on anything. If we’d won we wouldn’t have gone up and they wouldn’t have gone down. 
 

The result was meaningless in the end!

Not for the fans fighting on the pitch.

Can someone please contact the Premier League and award Newcastle the three points for singing a song and absolutely deserving everything

Maybe so, but the reply was to the following quote:

 

 

“Not beating these on the final day in 1992 and consigning them to the footballing scrap heap is one of the worst things we’ve done as a club”

 

It wasn’t: “one of the worst things we’ve done as a club” because it wasn’t in our hands. As it happened we could have beaten them 10-0 and they’d still have stayed up and we’d still have only been in the playoffs 

[Freeman's Wharfer]

He’s right though, isn’t he, about the match day experience being gimmicky?

 

We have the clappers, the goal music, the 10p t-shirts being fired into the crowd. In the recent past we’ve had the ‘light show’, ‘Fan Cam’, the agency commissioned flags and crowd surfers. We’re one of the worst in the country for clearly having a demographic the club wants and building a match day experience around it (to the detriment of other fan groups).

 

As for the rest of it, I looked at the Newcastle away end and thought it almost feels a bit inauthentic now. It’s like someone gave them the “don’t stop supporting their team” tag and now they live up to it for the sake of living up to it more than for the sake of actually supporting the team.

 

I always feel that with the Irish at big tournaments too. They have this reputation for turning up and “having a good time” and so they do so. They turn up, they drink, they sing, they play their merry Irish role and they leave with everyone going “the Irish were great to have around” - except it feels a bit forced. Like they drink to be merry because that’s what they are expected to do and that being seen as being merry is more important than actually having fun or drinking the amount they actually want to drink.

 

Newcastle fans will be lost for identity if their team becomes successful. And I guarantee that some will long for the days they used to be garbage but could play the “never stop singing despite the team being awful” role.

The only thing that arguably sets Newcastle fans apart from the rest of us is their insistence that mixing Stone Island jackets with replica shirts from the 90s is considered the height of fashion. True to form, I spotted one in that combo at the station on Sunday.

 

That said, Sunderland fans also love to dress like that so it must be a North-East thing.

So an armchair dwelling plastic Geordie fan writes an article on his hometown club basically saying they’re  plastic … oh the irony

I think it's all about how the media want to portray certain fans and it eventually gets into our heads as fact. We're told how great Crystal Palace fans are, the knowledgeable and cheeky scousers, the passion of the North East, God's own Yorkshire, the Irish funsters, the loveable Tartan Army (as they trash everywhere they go), only the Welsh can sing you know, Wolves are a big club because they had floodlights in the 50's and on it goes. It's repeated over and over so must be true. 

[Samilktray]

Castore kits ffs 

[PAPA LAZAROU]

Lost interest when he said Newcastle deserve success. Why would that be? If anything under their new disgusting owners they are the last club in the world to deserve success. 

[RonnieTodger]

Can’t knock the effort of their support, they vocally put us to shame. 

One thing I will say is the amount of Saudi flags in the away end was embarrassing.

[Jakemoore]

Even an away fan noticed how shit the goal music is…….mind you, they did hear it 4 times in one game 😂

Don't joke about it... I'm sure their owners will be considering this, and with their track record, nothing is off the table. They can walk all over the Premier League decision makers as proved by the deal going through in the first place.

 

In all seriousness, I'd be shocked if they ended up relegated this year, and think by the end of the season, we might be looking back at them surviving off the back of a string of unusual events.

Even as he sits and watches his team get walloped 4-0 by his home town club, the penny still hasn't dropped:

As for atmosphere. the awful goal music is a rare bad move by the club.  It kills the raw intensity of the goal celebration instantly.

 

Having said that, didn't we make the earth move and break records for Leo's goal against Norwich?

Different team I know, but I work with a Cov fan…. The bloke is probably level pegged with the delusion of this lot….

 

His claims to me recently were;

 

“Why are yous increasing your capacity, yous don’t even fill the stadium now”

 

”Brendan is genuinely bigger than your club”

 

”Our FA cup win was definitely more impressive than yours”

 

”Potter leaving Brighton to join yous is at a push a sidewards step if not back”

 

”Your training ground ain’t even that great, it’s probably about as good as Derby”

 

You could say they’re flippant comments but his steadfast approach and his constant niggling just prove the bloke is genuinely deadly serious. His denial is amazing.

I'd forgotten all about Coventry.

 

I think I preferred it that way.
