I just can't take Chelsea or Man City seriously, they've turned it into fantasy football and completely f****d up the Premiership for good IMO.

Like the way Newcastle spent big to ensure they would be continual Champions League challengers?

Like the way you were flying at the top of the league and then went and spent big to ensure your win and screwed it up?

I can't take Newcastle seriously because they are a ****ing joke. You sell out to a rich guy to emulate what Citeh and us have done and end up with a fat waster. Which is perfectly apt - seeing as how much you love that fat waster Gazza.

Newcastle are just a fat, pi55ed up, stupid version of Citeh and Chelsea.

Have they managed to find the ball from that shot your £50m man attempted today?

I think that your opinion is a bit stupid to be honest mate. By your reckoning the only club that can be proud of anything is Arsenal.

Chelsea and Citeh are backed by brash wealth - the nouve riche as they say.

Arsenal and Liverpool have been backed in a massive way by old(er), quieter money. But they were still backed by big money backers.

But the utterly stupid like that Hull KR Geordie cannot see it.

Not very often I agree with you but I do on this and I hate Chelsea. Can't stand them. But to belittle their achievements because they've spent big is nonsense.

Completely different IMO. Newcastle spent plenty of cash, but it was nothing like what Chelsea do, the only signing of 'astronomical' money really was Shearer, who considering he played for Newcastle for ten years is money well spent and great value. Also when Newcastle bought big with Les Ferdinand for example (£6 million IIRC) it was with £7million that they got for Andy Cole a few months earlier. Basically it's unfair to compare the two, Newcastle also had a team of mostly English players (Barton, Howey, Watson, Beresford, Beardsley, Lee, Ferdinand, Shearer etc).
All I'm saying is if Chelsea do buy 1 or more trophies this season it is nothing at all for them to be proud of, found it hilarious them jumping around last May with the Premiership title as if they'd actually achieved something.

The only reason you got Shearer, Keegan or any of that 5hit was because of Sir John Hall, you fool.

It's unfair to compare the two because you won absolutely **** all.

We won a couple of FA Cups, a couple of FL Cups and a Cup Winners Cup before Abramovich came. Even after you had a billionaire backer you won NOTHING.

Schmeichel £550,000
Cantona £1.2m
Kanchelskis £650,000

were all snips

You've got your views, I've got mine. I will always defend Newcastle because at the heart of all the mistakes are some of the most passionate and loyal fans in world football. Chelski and Man City will never have that.

The day Abromovich and City's owners get bored and decide to move onto new toys would be the best day in the history of the Premiership.

Weren't Man City selling games out when they played that season in League One a few years back?

Newcastle have had massive dips in their attendance levels as well.

Most passionate and loyal? You're in a 1 club city with a couple of near rivals. You've got a unique situation geographically which makes the club slightly different to one in a 10 club city or a region like the north west with huge clubs every 15 miles.

Passion isn't sitting in the freezing cold showing off your fat, disgusting body. Passion isn't getting pi55ed and being proud of it.

The simple fact is that genuine football fans of Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea or Newcastle feel pretty much the same about their clubs. The glory hunters who follow those clubs will also feel a similar support of a different variety.

And being a Hull KR Geordie does look suspicious when you probably jumped on board when a Keegan, Gazza or Shearer was there.
