    They still have that ‘warm glow’ thing going over there?

    Got to admire the effort they put into ‘not caring about us’ and ‘us being in their shadow’.

    How I long for us to be such a powerhouse <laugh>

    Me neither. I used to go on quite often was some good back and forth banter when we first all came over to this forum, then the kids took over and is just childish, pointless gibberish and then all ‘lolling’ at the same, identikit banal craic.

    Daft thing is the best footy and rivalry banter is when there’s a bit of bite but a bit of respect. That’s what we used to get from over there and I used to enjoy it.

    I saw a post on Twitter to the EPL at the weekend which asked them to provide support for the families of those on Tyneside who have, or are about to, commit suicide. I genuinely thought it was one of our fans in very, very poor taste.

    It wasn't.

    Any decent banter was destroyed when we had a period of utter and complete dominance and relegated them directly ourselves. We literally broke them mentally and the fact they couldn't have any hand in our demise has hurt them just as much. We basically skull ****ed them for 5 years and 'retired champions' the fact they can have no actual retribution on the pitch has lead to the vile attitude that fester within their stottie filled guts. It's our fault really...

    We must fight this - do not take this lying down - we are the best fans in the world - lets show everybody that we deserve such a title - keep signing the petition get it to 100,000 - we cannot let the PL just walk over us - they must give reasons and valid ones for stretching this over 17 weeks - come on MAGPIES now is the time to act - lets save this GREAT club - remember Sir Bobby Robson - lets do it in his name, in his memory - I won't rest until we are successful and neither should you. There are five generations of Newcastle supporters in my family - do this great city proud.

    Taken from facebook... youd think it was somebody taking the piss but its not it's an actual serious wifey <laugh>

    Sean H started this petition to Boris Johnson(Prime Minister)
    After recent events leading to the unsuccessful takeover attempt of Newcastle United, this petition aims to engage the United Kingdom (UK) government in establishing an independent investigation into the English Premier League (EPL) takeover process and Richard Masters who was fundamental in orchestrating the deal.

    The takeover negotiations came to a halt on 30th July 2020 after the Saudi backed consortium withdrew their interest with one of the key reasons being the "Prolonged Process". This announcement was released after 4 months without a decision.

    Despite the takeover being a confidential process, much of it was played out in the public domain and by the end of the Newcastle United takeover saga, it was apparent that the dispute was only with the Saudi backing due to their apparent human rights and piracy abuses.

    However, many of the concerns were initially raised by outside influences who would directly benefit from this particular takeover attempt failing or who already have personal issues with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Those groups proceeded to mount a personal attack on Saudi backing by raising piracy and human rights concerns before using the partner of reporter Jamal Khashoggi who has no connection to English football in their efforts.

    Mohammed Bin Salman who is the crown prince of Saudi Arabia is an ally of the UK government and Royal Family has been integral in supporting the UK with the outbreak of Covid-19 along with reforming the KSA policies on human rights.

    As a result of the EPL's negligence and Qatar influences around the Newcastle takeover, the city of Newcastle has been deprived of some well-needed investment into the local football club as well as the city as a whole.

    Albert gave me a preemptive ban, before a derby match ...

    ... in case said anything that would upset the Mags.

    Despite Pancho it remains, by far, the most idiotic thing I've ever seen from a Mod.

    By far the most worrying aspect of this is that he doesn't sound like a toothless horse punching loon <doh>

    Surely good fans don't smash their own city up, invade pitches to get games abandoned.

    My mate has a Polish lad works for him. He was in supermarket with him once when the Polish lads kids started asking their dad for sweets. Polish lad said said "No" and that was the end of the subject. Mate asked do the kids not whine on until you give in? Polish lad said "They know there is no point as I gave them answer and it is final". Mags could learn some decorum from them bairns <laugh>

    I met a lad with an eastern European accent and asked if he was Russian.

    He said he was a pole.

    I said, "Are you positive?"
