All clubs have their "in your Liverpool slums" morons - and we have our own equivalents.
Unfortunately they were also fairly vocal with the old 'sign on' songs at St James this year. Never mind though, most of us were too busy asking a certain Carrot topped, Norwegian how he succeeded in putting a spherical piece of leather in the back of the opponents net. Can't quite remember how the song went but I've a feeling I heard it again when playing against those friendly folks from (just outside) Manchester.
Generally agree about Geordies though, typically they’re a quality lot and there’s certainly an affinity between our fans. The bitters, somewhat unsurprisingly, seem to have a similar affinity with the Geordies significantly less classy Maccum neighbours. Don’t know why that lot seem to have such a chip on their shoulders, could the Geordies having a bigger bridge really have made them so bitter?
Middlesborough is without doubt the worst town in the country (world?)... Until u go down the road to Stockton, which frighteningly succeeds in making the smoggies settlement look like a veritable paradise. If there was a national inbred convention I’m certain it would be held in this part of the world.
I’m not sure what I think about teams singing YNWA at Old Trafford. It seems to happen there quite frequently these days but only when teams are heading for defeat. I remember Ipswich fans singing it when they were losing 9-0 to the mancs a few years ago and I hardly think that was gonna piss the mancs off. Fair play to the farmers mind, remembering to pay homage to the greatest team in the country whilst having to comprehend the unbelievable notion that Andy Cole had succeeded in netting 5 times against them… Shit, they must have been bad back then.
