    I tell you what...

    ...the next time some arsehole pundit or media gobshite peddles the laziest line in football, namely that we're deluded and have expectations above our station, somebody should point out that we've sold out our 3rd round cup tie against League One Cambridge United. Whilst we're second bottom of the league.

    Honestly, man, if we ever win something, every single one of us will be able to make a Father Ted-style speech like the one he made after winning the Golden Cleric:

    "...and now we come to liars..."

    + Man City couldn't fill the Etihad during Champions League games last year which lead to Pep having a dig at the fans

    Our support is unique in England. It’s the main reason we are disliked.

    I agree to an extent,but our fans can be fickle, just like other clubs, a sell out against Cambridge, yes that’s what makes us unique.

    Your support is Brilliant, every fan knows this but you are far from the best in the land, you are the only team in Newcastle with very little competition from other sport. I would place Liverpool first, Man utd 2nd and you lot 3rd. You have to now put up with the glory hunters, it was not long ago you lost 10k from match day protests. Anyway, good luck with the relegation fight, you need to stay in the prem or it will put you back 5 years!

    I take your points & agree that the 1 club 1 City has a bearing.. However:
    Regarding the bin dippers & manure, how long has it been since they were near the bottom of the league OR indeed in the chimpo ? Factor that into the equation & we can then compare apples with apples !

    The match day protests were way over due after 14 years of abuse would you not agree Dave?

    At sny other club it would have happened in half the time with 3 times the number.
