    Newcastle's success was mostly when Hitler was in primary school, when the Titanic was being designed. It barely counts.

    Spurs also have the far greater European pedigree. If football started in 1992 then Newcastle would be marginally bigger and Spurs have still won plenty of trophies since Newcastle's last. They've won absolutely zilch since before the moon landings.

    Yes, Spurs have torn up trees with a few league cups and an Fa cup these past 3 or 4 decades.

    Neither have won anything of note on recent history and its been a while since either threatened the real big clubs im any way.

    Its unlikely either will win a title anytime in the next 50 years either.

    Under Keegan you mean? They bottled the league once and were up near the top for a while but that must have been 20 years ago now or close to it. Spurs have been in the top four a few times in the last few seasons and got to a CL quarter-final.

    Yes and look how big headed Spurs have got since. Despite Leeds and Newcastle having comparable if not better seasons during PL years.

    The fact remains though, Spurs are just a southern Newcastle. Nice club, nothing to worry about.

  7. Not particularly.

    I don't see how pulling you up on your "facts" translates into my having a problem with any particular club.

    It's a rather curious position to adopt, on your part.

    So you will be happy in the knowledge that Spurs are just the Newcastle of the South. Perhaps even honoured?

    Its very fitting. I have no idea why fans of either club would be offended. Unless they have a problem with Spurs or Newcastle.

    Manchester Utd are a northern QPR :bandit:

    We are. I meam Chelsea fans are as obsessed with us as they are QPR. The only explanation is we are a northern
    qpr.

    The rio link only served to confirm it.

    Is that where you live?

    Was there in May for the boys' rugby tour. Stayed in a caravan park at the back of an industrial estate not far from Weymouth FC's ground.

    Was lovely.

    Plus Paul Parker of course.

    Almost twin clubs really.

    Yeah I live in Weymouth <ok>

    I'm guessing the industrial estate was the Granby estate?

    Weymouth is a lovely place to live, especially as I've lived in various cities most of my life - been down here for 10 years now. Watched Weymouth quite a few times in that period but it's embarrassingly ****.

    Summer down here is insane. The place just explodes, like being abroad to be honest.

  17. I love The Toon. Not enough to support them, naturally.

    It would be the natural choice with Newcastle being, as we know, a northern Spurs.

    They should meet somewhere around the Nottingham area and become one club, no-one would really notice or care to be honest. A simple merge in the night.
