paranoid (mackem) androids

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Unofficial Newcastle United Football Club BBS : One Thread

On occasion, when bored at work and all the half decent footy websites have been trawled, I like to take a little wander over to the RTG forum. Now is it just me or do those people have chips on both shoulders and probably 3 or 4 up their arses to boot? Boy do they hate us, far more it seems than we hate them (and let's face it, that's quite a lot). Days can pass on this BB without any reference to our unwashed Wearside neighbours; we know they exist, but like any topic that's a tad unsavoury (penile warts, the toilets at Glastonbury, one of Ken Bates's dangleberries hanging from the little gap between David Mellor's disfigured two front teeth etc.), we're cool and smart enough not to discuss them at any length. Conversely, pick any thread at random from RTG and chances are there'll be some reference to a) what pack of coonts we are (apologies for the pathetic, phonetic attempt at mackemspeak) b) how they beat 'the scum' (highly original term that) last year c) Shearer's supposed demise d) the fact that a few phone boxes got dameged after the Arsenal Cup Final - Yes, they STILL talk about that incident, I think it must be high on the history curriculum in every Sunderland Junior school, or e) that we're all just a pack of coonts (they have a habit of repeating themselves). Even on the rare occasion when they're not discussing matters Black & White you can be pretty sure the posting will end with a 'FTM'. Which brings me, finally, to my question(s); Is all this paranoia simply a result of abject inferiority? is it something to do with their decrepit and hopelessly inept gene pool? does living in the miserable shadow of a truly dynamic, thrusting, larger City prove too much to handle? Or - and I suspect this is the real reason - are they all just a pack of c***s?

Don't get me started: I agree, they are paranoid. They have massive chips on their shoulders and can tell you our match results and attendances, home and away, back to about 1895. I have posed as a Makem on there and asked the question "Don't you think we're really sad going on about the Mags so much instead of talking about our own team?" and they couldn't see what I was getting at at all.

They are simply VERY SAD BASTARDS from Makemland.

I posted Dougals comments about "Why are the maKems so nosey?" on the Strawberry BBs, which is supposed to be an NUFC BBs,( but is owned by maKems and run by Geordies.) Anyway they went off it saying that maKems were just knoweldgable about football in general and we are thick SKUNKS.

It's true, they'll read in the Journal (cos none of them buy the Sunderland Echo) that we had a good turn out on Saturday and the next thing you know, one will come onto RTG and say "Oh aye but ah remember back in 1963. Ah wiz at their training ground on the 12 December in '63 and there wiz only this one auld bloke in a donkey jacket watching with ee's red setter. Only one of the Scum watching tha team playin' an important practice match back then, man. FTM!!!!!!". Another will come on and say "Aye, man, look at last year, we had 25000 fans at Leeds and they only had 1567 (but three of them got ejected for swearing so it was really only 1564)". "Aye, typical Mag Scum swearing - watch out Bigg Market phones!!!!!!!!!!" "Aye, it's only cos the Journal's a Scum paper that we never found out that they really rioted when we beat the bastids 2-1. FTM!!!!!" "Have yer heard the Three Legends talk-in. By that drunken get Malcolm MacDonald talks some shite. Him and Slaven pick on Eric Gates and he's the only one that talks any sense". "Ah, don't worry about MacDonald, man, he's a drunk and he buggered off to Arsenal as soon as he could be rid of the Skunk bastids". "THERE WERE ONLY 9062 SEASON TICKET HOLDERS AT SAINT JAMES'S PARK IN 1991 - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA FTM!!!". This is because 45000 of them have ALWAYS been GEET knowledgeable about football, even in the days when they ALL went to Roker Park EVERY week because they aren't GLORYHUNTERS like us. They haven't got DELUSIONS of GRANDEUR like us even though they see WORLDCLASS players like PHILLIPS every week. In fact, the only points on which I would humbly, with due deference, as befits a pig-ignorant Mag, suggest that they could do with doing some revision (as opposed to Revisionism) is on the number of times we've played in Europe and the number of years they had to wait to beat us at SJP.

Superb round up of the facts there Dougal....well done....you could have been Krist in disguise.....only way of telling the posting apart was that you managed to find the caps key now and again.

Well done again.......

LOL from Stew Canel for it is he!

Chip on the shoulder? We're talking a whole extra large bag of McCain's Thick and Crinkly cut. They're obsessed with us. In the 90's there's been no contest in terms of success, line-ups, and entertaining football between us and them, so after one season where they finished higher than we did and managed a win at SJP they're milking it for everything they can. They like to choose selective facts such as our low turn out v Oxford, ignoring the even lower gates they had under the Buxton and Butcher days.

Sunderland are a bunch of long ball merchants and cloggers, with a sprinkling of talent here and there. No denying the munchkin can score, Sorensen's not bad, and many of us thought we should have signed Hutchinson in the summer. Apart from that who in the Sunderland team would get a game at Newcastle? They're an average side who played above themselves for long enough last season to finish in a decent position. Those Mackems who aren't suffering delusions know they won't do as well this season, know they've got a tight-arsed unimaginative manager who can't take them any further, and are dreading us finishing above them and taking 4-6 points off them this season.

They think they're a big club, we know we are. Thing is, it provides so many laughs would you have it any other way?

It ppppppp me off that OUR local paper puts out a 'South of the Tyne' edition, which I'm forced to buy because I don't have the brains to move somewhere a bit closer to civilisation.

Who among us, really, gives a s**t about what's happening in Tampontown ?

From RTG this morning. The sad feckers are actually looking at Dabizas's site to see his polls and rigging the vote. Can you bear it? Right everyone, get yourself off to the Eric Roy site (and there IS one, it's on Icons.com) cos there's no way you'd want to spend your Internert abuse time thinking about the Toon.

WWW.DABIZAS.COM - hes changed the poll to
