I can vouch for Chippy on this one. I visited the Toon board as their beloved club was being ripped new ones all over Stamford Bridge, and I taunted them with one of the most devastating weapons in my wum-arsenal - my cod-Geordie accent. If ever there was a weapon designed to toppled boards into melt-down hysteria, it is HIAG's extremely patronising cod-accent.
Did those lads kick-off Mouser-style, with pulled-posts and a life-time ban? No. All I got was hugs and teary smiles. One Geordie chap even poked at me with a pencil and asked me if I was a Daddy-Long-Legs. I told him "Nay, marra. Ya knaa Ahm not."
