this is the point. Hate is an emotional state and for folk to be emotional we need to be relevant. it’s important to understand who each journo supports as it often puts their beel into context.
Always makes me chuckle when a journo, this is especially true for Sky Sports claims they support some none existent nothing side. Every single Sky Sports pundit you ask seems to support absolutely nobodies. Convenient.
I'm from Bournemouth but have supported Newcastle all my life. At least once a week now someone tries to suggest I've only just started supporting them.
Mate - your idea of a plastic is someone who hasn’t been to every home game except one since 1975. However a true fan would have made sure he was on that train from Kings Cross to catch that missed game.
It was a great story though. However I think your memory might be going. It must have been Wed 8th April 1987 and we won 4-1 with goals from Goddard, Gascoigne, McDonald and Jackson.
