Rather be sexy and thick than fat and smart http://www.sunderlandecho.com/news/...re-fattest-in-premier-league-report-1-1503708 Published on Friday 20 August 2010 10:45 Who ate all the pies? Sunderland fans, according to a new health report. An online survey from NHS Choices claims that the Black Cats have the Premier League's fattest supporters, munching their way through a mountain of crisps, sweets, pasties and pies. The poll of 25,000 supporters assessed their health and fitness based on weight, smoking and alcohol consumption. It revealed that just over half of SAFC fans were an unhealthy weight. Everton came second in the table, followed by Blackburn, which has the most smokers, and Fulham, which has the most supporters who exceeded the recommended units of alcohol per day. Newcastle came 16th in the study of 20 clubs. The Echo asked Sunderland AFC fans what they thought about being branded the most unhealthy. Colin Metcalf, 63, said: "I don't know if it's true really, it's the sort of food you like at half time. There's a lot more other teams in the group who are unhealthier than Sunderland." Anne Metcalf, 57, sales assistant, said: "Newcastle are just as bad. Anywhere is just as bad." Tommy Leng, 53, of Hendon, added: "I'm healthy, get lots of exercise. I've been following the team for 32 years now and Newcastle are the worst." Owen Imeson, 27, a painter and decorator, from Sunderland, said: "I'm a supporter and would like to think I'm healthy." Bob Duncan, 68, retired, of Jarrow, said: "I have four pints before and four pints after, but I do normally go for walks from Sunderland to Shields and back on non-match days."
Newcastle 16th? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha *pauses for breath* hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
What they failed to mention was that if a person takes up three seats they are counted as three separate people not one. So that accounts for Newcastles relatively low placing.
Most of this survey doesn't surprise me at all. However, the mags coming in as high as 26th seems a bit iffy!
We may be fatties (not me, I'm svelte...) but we also have the longest lengths in England.... 'An undisputeable, categorically did happen survey has proved beyond all doubt that the manfolk of Sunderland have the biggest penises in England. They average 7.6 inches, compared to a national average of 5.8inches. At the other end of the table are men from neighbouring Newcastle, averaging a 'smaller than a Chinese mans' 2.3 inches, although several thousand penises were to small to be measured in the city, bringing down the average. Newcastle is, amusingly, home to the worlds biggest penis, Alan Shearer.' www.hungsunderland.co.uk Facts, you can't whack them.
Meaningless. The test group was nowhere near big enough. I didn't get sent one of these quizzes and neither did anyone I know. Did anyone on here? Anyone any of you know? Doubtful, ergo this "research" fails. P.S. The above opinion has absolutely no relevance to my closest city being Norwich...
Erm you do realise this report on the EPL was made during the season you were in the lower leagues dont you? Your position at the head of this report, as witnesed by the fat, lard arsed, toon gut buckets we see each week on the TV pictures, which we are all sadly subjected from both Wonga Park and beyond, would be assured had you managed to actually be in the top flight of English football at the time. As it is, you were just a lowly championship team at the time.
