Why you hate NUFC?

[stonedtoffee]

Newcastle just isn't a club anyone could like!

Most Newcastle fans claim there supporters are amongst the best in England yet can only manage to take 50 fans to a competitive European game abroad.

Your club is massively overrated!

Plus Cabaye didn't do you no favours at the end of last season

 

[Vim Fuego]

Yeah but Aldo, Stevie GBH and Joey Barton all came out of our city. I wouldn't want that held against us.

Plus Ant and Dec were my childhood ffs. Leave them alone.

Well yeah, I hold my hands up to the fact that Jimmy " cheeky gap toothed scouser" Tarbuck , Cilla effin Black, and Ken sodding Dodd come from here, though all Kopites thankfully.

I for one certainly do not hate Newcastle, neither club nor city. Newcastle are a proper football club, just like Everton.

I despise Pardew with a passion though.

 

[SouthBlue]

Sadly I think part of the animosity is down to the fact that we (see also spurs for this) used to be one of the big boys but increasingly history is all we can cling to for bragging rights in this who's-got-the-biggest-wedge of cash league.

As Moyes said today you're only as good as your last one and while I love Everton and think we are principled, decent well-run club in the main.....unless something drastic changes that's all we will be for at least another generation.

What doesn't help is that you get the feeling that if Moyes could have had the money availiable to him that Spurs and Newcastle have frittered over the last 10 years - achieving little - then Everton would have been a regular top four finisher for some years now.

It's like that scene in the Three Amigos where one of them only has sand to drink and is forced to watch as Chevy Chase gargles water, spits it out and then proceeds to throw away a bottle that's half-full.....

Oh, by the way, we don't count the charity shield as a trophy either

Been reading your match thread and it's pretty clear the overwhelming feeling towards Newcastle and Geordies is a pretty angry kind of hatred. Just curious for the reason.

I mean, we've not recently injured one of yours, we've not robbed you of owt, we're not local rivals, we're not nicking any of your players. Yet I've genuinely not seen a group of fans more fervent in their desperation to beat us since the mackems.

You also seem stuck on pretty lazy cliches about Newcastle fans. Just like you're not all "bitter blues", we're not "deluded mags". Just seems a bit odd, is all.

So I was wondering what actual reasons have you got, or is it just that when you take everything into account, we're of a similar size to you and therefore, a rival?

Cheers

It became fashionable to hate Newcastle in the 90s when you had a decent side and the media decided you, including your fans, were flavour of the month. Not your teams fault if the media had you as flavour of the month I get that, but I think it snowballed from there really.

I don't personally hate your club, I'm past all that crap.I also don't have the big club obsession that some people have. I don't get that either.

 

[Coach]

Could someone please tell me how many points you get for having a large crowd?

 

[Tubey]

I don't even think there's a debate to be had as to who the bigger club is between Everton and Newcastle. It's blatantly obvious.

Personally I don't really have much of an opinion on Newcastle. I think their fans are of the "fair weather" variety as you all jumped ship upon relegation, you have a chairman you hate when you're doing badly but ignore when you're doing well, you have a manager that is impossible to like and as a city you're in your own self-imposed deluded bubble, where you think that just because everyone in Newcastle has a Newcastle shirt on, then everyone in the world must support them too.

However, I think you have a really good strike force, on balance your side is probably more dangerous than ours and should win tonight, and Alan Shearer was absolutely fantastic.

But the negatives outweigh the positives. But I go back to my original posts - on the whole I don't care about Newcastle FC one way or the other, as you're not big or relevant enough to care about. Sorry but it's true - it's just a fixture on the calendar for us.

You're a north east version of Blackburn basically.

 

[Moomin]

I like Newcastle, its a city like Liverpool. Decent folk who love their football, like a drink and a laugh. But, it also has some dicks, like Liverpool does.

 

[roydo]

Just so I'm clear, history only counts within a certain time period?

You know pretty much any PL club can point to this that and the other to "prove" how "big" their club is, for example, one such table shows Sunderland as the 6th most successful club in England..................

There are a lot of clubs who have won stuff since you lot did, Norwich, Luton, Birmingham, to name just 3, and only an utter bell could claim they are "bigger" in any way to NUFC, but the fact is, they have won stuff, and you have not.

I always reckon a better idea on looking at how big a club is, is changing the word "big", for "influential", in other words, how important to the overall English league they have been. For example, the number on managers that have graduated via SAF would point to MU being pretty influential in the English game, ditto Wenger/Arsenal and the way he pioneered international scouting, and the business model they have there. On that basis, based just on the players that have come through NUFC over 20 years or so, I reckon you have a decent claim to being one of the more influential clubs in the country.

Also, love him or hate hem, when Hall/Shepperd redeveloped St James, right in the city centre, that again showed a better way of developing a ground rather than some out of town dinkey toy effort that we have all to many of these days.

Just my thoughts.

 

[The Fish]

I agree with roydo, wholeheartedly.

and to answer Coaches question it's the half the number you get for being a mainstay of the top flight for a century multiplied by the number you get for having a well liked manager

Delusional fans, who brag about their big support, forgetting that they're a one club city.
The idea that they are a 'good cup team', despite not winning anything of note for over 40 years.
Pardew.
Newcastle stewards at St James Park - the most heavy handed stewards in the league.

Have you ever contested it ?

 

[The Fish]

Yup, we've actually even won it once as well
