Take Pity on The Mackems

I have just ventured over to our soap dodging neighbour's board to see what the teams in the bottom half of the table and facing relegation are discussing.

The first thing that struck me was how dark it was over there. Almost as if they were living in some huge shadow!!

I couldn't find any articles on "Top Dogs in the North East" or "Lets laugh at Newcastle in the Relegation Scrap", but I did find one quite delusional thread about qualifying for Europe next year. I am sure that I read something similar this time last year on 606.

Anyway, I was disappointed to see that they seem to have some kind of campaign where they write several articles that are given titles that will provoke any visiting Newcastle fans into commenting. It's like some desperate attempt to increase their post count and make their board look busy. Like their stadium on matchdays, the place seems half empty.
Unfortunately it is so boring over there that they have to resort to "fishing" articles to liven the place (no pun intended) up a bit.

So if you are tempted to visit the hygenically challenged clowns from down the road, please treat them with some degree of sympathy. Most of their dreams have been shattered this season (Europe, Top Dogs, 6 easy points, Newcastle struggling) and their board is rapidly reflecting the run down, boring hovel that most of them inhabit in the real world.

 

Like their stadium on matchdays, the place seems half empty.

Have to disagree with you there simonbh7 it's always half full.

 

I'd say they've been taken to the cleaners but that would be an ironic statement.

 

Europa League Champions 2012?



LDV Vans Trophy winners 2013 hopefully.

Edit: Or whatever the **** it's called now.

 

Quite!

 

Change that to losers hopefully.

 

Mackems in Yewrope...

Now that's a concept.

 

yeh weirdly they dont seem to want to discuss the footy anymore ;D
was talkin to a couple mackem mates at work who are giving up their season tickets 'cos they are sick of football in general' DDD

 

The ****ers aren't even allowed passports!

Was speaking to a mackem mate who works in their box office and apparently only 7000 have sent in their renewal packs for Season Tickets so far, they usually have about 15k by now.

 

A kid that sits a few seats away from me at the games used to work as a steward at the SOS to get the money for his ST at out place.

 

Oh snap - I did the same from end of school until 6th form. I was a kitchen porter though.

 

A guys got to do what a guys got to do.

A great way of doing it though, getting the cash from the darkside to get your ST at our place.

 

Aye, I used to get stick from my Mackem mates until they realised their hard-earned was technically going towards my wages and towards NUFC , especially when it was 1892 bar seats as well. They don't come too cheap!

 

Had one there when Albert scored his wonder goal against Man Utd. Was dead in line with Schmeichel when he stood motionless as the ball gently went over him and into the net.

What a beauty, I'll remember it forever.

 

bruce,,,,albert has been in my all time faves, if you or us could buy the likes of him now,,,,,,,,, that would be a happy day, what a player, class before his time,,,,,,,,

 

Nice to hear a Sunderland fan on here being so complimentary about of our former player, given the hatred that some supporters of both clubs have towards each other.

 

Ha, Ha goof one Sid, got to say have an appreciation of some of your former players/managers. Bob Stokoe, Lee Clark, Shay Given, Danny Simpson, now see two can play that game.
