    ...... who have now become a laughing stock <doh>

    People are now mimicking the Geordie Nation's propensity for raking up daft protest banners.

    Villa had the 'Who's your next Messiah' classic and now Leicester have this for today's match.

    I have to say, for clubs with no obvious grudge or rivalry, it might seem a bit sad.

    But surely even the Toooooooon Army can see they're creating a rod for their own back.

    They're becoming a bizarre parody of themselves and a laughing stock through their daft antics.

    All the funeral marches, bedsheets, Pardew Out cards, walk outs, etc are marking out the horse clouters as the biggest attention seekers in the country ....... well they're certainly getting some attention now <laugh>

    Some of the Mag fans will do owt for publicity and a bit of Sky time, even if to the rest of the football world they are making pricks of themselves..

    But they can't see it can they?

    In their heads they must believe that other people see them as 'the fanatical Toon Army'.

    They want rid of Ashley but believe the best way to attract a new owner is by behaving like bellends with death threats & banners <doh>

    It's come to something when even Leicester City fans are taking the piss.

    It would be nice to have a repeat of the 1993 second division game when we were leading 6-0 at half-time......we all know that won't happen, of course.

    Anyway, I'm off to watch the Heed today against Barnet, we are third and they are top.

    Looks like being a god match.

    Big test today, Barnet are banging the goals in but, on the bright side have already lost 3 games ..... have a good day <ok>

    Cheers, will do Smug. If you ever fancy a few pints and a trip to watch the Heed, give me a bell mate. There's a good mix of fans at the International Stadium and a few decent pubs nearby.

    Cheers mate, I will ... we're often passing by making deliveries around the country.

    We're off to Edinburgh on Monday but staying up for a couple of days having a look round, Mrs Smug loves it up there.

    Its like they're trying to act up to a perception of themselves and therefore becomes contrived and fails miserabl .
    They want Ashley out but also acknowledge he saved the club. If they don't like someone they're their own worst enemie . Take big Sam, by no means a bad manager certainly wouldn't have gone down with him.

    At least bed sheets and sign merchants of England are experiencing a renaissance.

    Absolutely, enjoy Edinburgh <ok>

    You're a top bloke mate. I know you have a couple of posters on here who are obsessed with you but I always enjoy reading your posts and you always come over like a true gentleman, someone who can be trusted and relied on <and you've no need to reply to that one mate, sorted>

    It's called the 'Jimmy Bullard syndrome' with a nod in the direction of Ian Holloway .....

    Circuses are dying out but them lot up the road keep reviving them.

    Whenever Sky TV are covering the latest boycoutt, they have an uncanny knack of always finding the thickest twats in England to put on live TV.
    FFS, Jeremy Kyle would reject most of them that get interviewed.
    Boils on the arse of society.

    That Steve Wraith sees himself as some kind of self proclaimed redeemer.
    In reality, he's just a ****ing tosser who'd do owt for a bit airtime & publicity.
    Some of his stunts are ridiculously stupid, thick ****.
    Want's rid of the Cockney Mafia but is perfectly happy to have his photo taken & run about licking the arse of Cockney gangsters like Dave Courtney. <doh>, 'ooh, look at me, look at who I'm mates with.'

    Does he really think Ashley gives a **** about a piss ant like him & his schoolboy antics?

    Still, at least they provide us with some laughs.
    God bless NUFC, I'm atheist btw. <ok>

    Just like to point out that in no way to I place all the Skunks supporters in the same bracket, and I firmly believe that the minority of mongs who carry out some of these antics are embarrassing to the majority..

    Exactly marra, that's what I was trying to point out.
    Some mags must cringe when Albert Wraith opens his yap on Look Newcastle with his latest protest.
    I'm sure he's humping Clueless.

    It's a bigger minority than other clubs though and the majority can be seen applauding like they did when the Cockney Mafia banner was paraded round SJP. I have Mag family, who are lovely people, and roll their eyes whenever they pull one of these attention seeking stunts.

    Whatever the case, because of these funeral marches etc they're gaining a certain reputation and the media are feeding off it.

    These reputations have a habit of enduring especially in these times of 24/7 Sky desperate to find 'stories' to fill in time.

    RAW's right on the money. I've nowt against mags, but I do loathe that horrible club of theirs. And when the idiot minority start up, on the one hand you cringe for the decent mags and on the other you piss your pants at the embarrassment they dump on the club.

    Overall, the laughing wins, so I generally enjoy this sort of thing :) And don't knock Leicester BTW. They've won trophies more recently than either SAFC or NUFC!
