The problem with Newcastle is the fucking fans, who buy the shirt, turn up and cough up regardless of the shit on offer, lining the pockets of people who regard you with utter contempt, and regard this mindless suckling at a very dry teat as a badge of honour.

damned if you do , damned if you don't.
All Newcastle have are fans becasue they go to the stadium. They shoudl really stop going to the stadium. And if they did stop going then you would be like 'shit fans don't even support their team'. No win situation really.
There's really only one peron to blame for the current malaise though. Stand up Freddy Shepherd.
Newcastle are a big club in terms of playing in Europe regularly, fanbase (assisted by being a one club city) and financially. They are not a massive club becasue they haven't won, or looked like winning, shit in the last couple of million years.

Spurs have played at both.... nobby

20-Mar-85 UEFA. Cup 4 (2L) 90,000 A Real Madrid D 0-0
21-Apr-82 ECWC SF (2L) 80,000 A Barcelona L 0-1
 
Has to be Newcastle.

They have never really achieved anything, ever.

Norwich have achieved more than them in the past 12 years for fucks sake.
 
i wouldn't say newcastle are a massive club

but a big club yes

it's wierd with the board tho, cos they spend a lot more cash than most clubs in europe on players

i thought sacking bobby was criminal, but at the time a lot of the fans where chanting 'bobby out' cos we only finished 5th:mad: :mad:

i've got a theory that one day newcastle will win UEFA or FA cup, england will win a tournament, and i will be making money off music :D
 
You must admit though ninj, some newcastle fans seem to class you in a bracket with man u and liverpool. E.g. I read when you were looking for a replacement for souness that the newcastle job was 'one of the biggest managerial positions in football'. Surely shash!
 
i think the soness era has ground that out of us tbh

it's still a job not many managers would turn down if they were out of work imo. about 30m a year for transfers, big stadium and you would be our most succesful manager for 40 years if you won the league cup
 
all clubs suffer this...tis true...but some more than others(mostly premiership, and championship clubs)...but some really aren't that "big", and really are just big-headed!

Did you see how we were playing at the end of that season? He should have gone in that summer. That is when the problems really started, Shepherd failing to be the 'chairman' he reckons he is and refusing to fire bobby and get somebody in when we were still looking like a remotely decent side.

No, I wouldn't. This is Toon-fan thinking, that you should turn up, rain or shine. OK, it's not exclusively Toon fans, but they exemplify the mindless loyalty - it's them we have to think for the popularity of the sanctimonious "Your support is fucking shit" that everyone else seems to have adopted. I think fans should vote with their feet - otherwise you're rewarding a club that is being appallingly run. (Not aimed at Newcastle in particular, that point).

well i still reckon we would be better off now if they had waited till they had someone lined up before sacking him. he only had a year left regardless, but i remember at the time thinking appointing souness was a joke. we were never that bad under bobby
 
Scarborough were worse than us celebrating staying up by running on the pitch and then displaying their collective emotions as they found out Jimmy Glass had scored. :(

That's funnier than any stupid banner.
 
Regardless of their success or fanbase, Newcastle the city hasn't half produced a lot of great players; Milburn, Charlton, Waddle, Gascoigne, Shearer. Get a right winger and that's one hell of an attack.
 
Charlton & Milburn were from Ashington, Waddle was from Gateshead
 
Irritatingly, all the people I know who support the teams up there are fairly decent, reasonable fans...

Mine shout would be Villa.
 
Got to agree that L**ds are the most delusional. Their fans constantly bang on about being a "big" club and laughably claim they were European champions when they got beat! They are also fickle fans as their attendances this season prove!
Talking about attendances.....when Man City were in the 3rd tier their crowd was still better than alot of premiership teams at the time. How does one measure a "big" club? Is it history of trophies won or continued fan support? A big club has big support surely? When newcastle were nearly being relagated to the 3rd tier the crowds were shit. It was only the Keegan revolution that got the big crowds back as far as I can recall.

Their fans had the big time attitude to match as well. They were widely hated and despised by all and sundry

The vocal support was fucking shite as well, I was there when we drew 0-0 at Maine Road in December that year and the way their fans got on the side's backs was jaw dropping. They really had a go at Shaun Goater in particular
 
All of the above teams are big teams, they just havn't won owt*. Over long histories they have attracted big gates and simply because they havn't been succesful in the SKY era doesn't take away their claim to be 'big.' All of those teams would be in the top 15 all time league for both achievements and attendances I reckon. (not sure about the 'appy 'ammers actually... dunno:confused: )

Everton and Citeh have record attendances that dwarf for example liverpool's record.

I am not arguing they have a god given right to success either mind, just that they are, in my book 'big'

*in the last 10 yrs

I would be a bit suprised if they didn't have that attitude. If your team ended up playing conference south football, I bet the gasheads would be hated by Aylesbury Town fans as 'big time charlies' and I bet after a fall from grace that spectacular, patience would be running a little thin.

Though I admit, it is galling to here them ringing 606 and bleat on about the indignity of playing at Stockport County and things like that. I still like Citeh for beating Wigan in the play off semis though...:cool:

Everton are the fourth most successful English club. More league titles than the others on the list put together.

They were so bloody condescending though. And couldn't accept that they deserved to be where they were because they'd lost lots of football matches.

There is that. Or the fact that perhaps, they lost a game, not through their own incompetence, but cos the opponants did something rather good.

Yeah, the League Cup was never our strong point - only other final was 1977 (lost to Villa after 2 replays), that's about it. We have a better record in the Full Members Cup :D

Edited for very poor memory, I never take much notice of Everton in the League Cup!
