Newcastle fans

[peoffrey]

I’ve found Geordies to be all mouth. If there was a second club proper in Newcastle akin to Sheffield / Bristol then NUFC would be Championship also rans at best. They’ve grossly underachieved given their potential.

Why would someone whos a blue racially abuse another blue? Terrible..

Doesn't matter if your blue ,red,yellow or pink there's no place in society for racism, what a poorly worded quote from yourself

Never seen racial abuse at the etihad in 16 years.. thats so sad :( What race was it directed at? Why would someone whos a blue racially abuse another blue? Terrible..

Sorry, you misunderstand me, earlier in the thread it was explained it was a Newcastle fan/s racially abusing a City fan, as I understand it the City lads (mum?) was giving the stewards seat numbers of the guilty party in the away end which a City fan took exception too believing she was reporting City fans

yesterday it was a bit like the old days in ss 3rd tier, there fans was mouthy all game and then near the end, a couple of there fans tried to jump into the city fans, one was throwing punches but he got a few thrown back at him and he fell back into his own fans but got collared and thrown out. On facebook a few city fans said it kicked off outside the ground as well. but I walk up aston rd so didn't see any bother but talked to a couple of fans going that way and they said its getting worse with there fans now, thought they was better then this, and only rags and scousers acted like this, I even was called a manc bastard before game but it was because I called a Newcastle fan a sunderland fan but that was banter

Callin' a mackem a geordie, and vice versa, is much worse than calling a north easterner all the foul names from the farmyard!

Never had a problem with them if I'm honest. Had a few nights out in Newcastle and feel their pain. A big club criminally run for decades. Remind you of anything?

It’s not the club, it’s the fans.

Throughout our lows(and highs) we’ve never had their arragoance or attitude of ‘we’re the best football fans in the World’. ‘We’re a bigger club than you’. And the irony of chanting ‘where were you when you were shit’, ‘empty seats’, and being serious and deluded about it. You can bundle Newcastle fans in with Liverpool and Celtic fans about their perceived self-importance. And (apperently) everybody loves a Geordie?

and that's it nailed to be fair! They're a one club city as well with only Sunderland and to a lesser extent Middlesborough to compete with, whilst we have United, Liverpool, Everton, Bolton, Oldham and many others within our catchment. Totally different gravy.

Anyone who thinks City “won the lottery” need to take a closer look at the facts. Soon after we moved into , what was at the time , The City Of Manchester stadium , we had a guy on the board called Alistair MacIntosh. The club was looking for investment , possibly from abroad , and sent MacIntosh on a 6 month tour around the globe to seek out potential investors. As a result , Thaksin Shinawatra from Thailand , became the major shareholder. Some time later of course , Shinawatra had criminal accusations to answer to in his native land , and as such , could not continue in his role at the club. His representatives approached His Highness Sheik Mansour , of the Abu Dhabi Emarati Royal Family , and the rest , as they say is history. Modern day football at the highest level , has long been dependent on “outside investment” , since Sky TV and other sponsors , started to plough serious amounts of money into the game. So rather than “winning the lottery” I would suggest that what City did , was recognise how the game was to be financed in the future , would be completely different to what had taken place in the past. Man Utd recently signed a record breaking sponsorship kit deal for £750 million , outside investment that is no different to what the ADU group have been doing at City. As I recall , Everton fans (the people’s club - apparently) were amongst the biggest critics of what had happened at City - yet Bill Kenwright sold the club to an Arab billionaire. I don’t hear any protests from Everton fans about that though. Similarly , if Sheikh Mansour would have offered to buy Newcastle off Ashley , would the Geordie fans have had a big protest against the deal ? - saying “nah thanks pet - we divvin want nah Arab billionaires at our club”. Bitterness and jealousy are indeed 2 words that spring to mind . In contrast , I was at the LC final a few years ago - we beat Sunderland- and their fans stood on the ramparts after the game and , despite losing , applauded City fans all the way back to their coaches.

Everton, the self-proclaimed 'Peoples Club', were part of the 'Big 5' in the late 80's that wanted the vast majority of TV rights etc., for themselves and f**k everyone else...….how times change

Another club propped up by a wealthy owner!
