The word ‘deluded’ tends to be thrown at us with alarming frequency, but are we really as bad as what other fans say?
Personally speaking, it annoys the hell out of me when people make these kind of remarks. When they use the word deluded they really show up just how thick and ignorant they are. Still, if they want to be simple and get suckered in by using a lazy insult then fair enough. I, and many others, know different.
The perception is that us Newcastle fans are unhappy when we aren’t challenging for trophies or when we aren’t tussling at the top of the league. We are an impatient lot apparently, although quite how anyone can be impatient after 40-plus years of waiting for a trophy is beyond me. We moan about the managers and harass them out of their job and disapprove of **** performances of our players.
To be fair, with that lot I could be describing Liverpool fans, or any fan to be fair.
We all want the club to be doing the best that it possibly can. We all want it to be challenging for honours at the top of that game, but all too often we have been let down aside from about 20 years of success dotted sporadically throughout our 129 year history. There is no ‘divine right’ (another myth that us NUFC fans have thrown at us) for us to be challenging for trophies.
Deluded? So fans at other clubs have no ambition then? Do fans of other clubs not dream about winning a trophy? Of course they do. Does that make those fans deluded also?
I just wanted to get this off my chest as it’s one of the main things that grinds my gears when I hear opposition fans saying it. Granted, we haven’t had to deal with morons from other clubs on here yet, but as the site gets more noticed, gets busier and gets on places such as Newsnow it will no doubt start to happen.
The bottom line is that us Newcastle fans are the salt of the earth 😉 and that the rest of them are just bitter about our great support. That’s how I view it anyway.
Are we deluded?
No. We are no different to fans at any club up and down the country and at any level of the league pyramid. They all want their respective team to be at the top and they all dream of silverware. They all get angry when their team has a bad result and they all get angry when a manager goes on a bad run. Now if you really want to see deluded, just take a look at Sunderland.
The next level indeed!
Richie Its a pity you and Toonsy wern’t on xbox my wee lad loves adding friends 😆 but he kicked someone the other nite for saying bad words so that would maybe count you’s out 😀

There’s an interesting debate in Australian football happening at the moment about what makes a football fan. Our crowds are falling – from a very low base.
I won’t get into the whole debate as it has too many aspects to it that would take too long to explain for non-aussies. But the best point that has been made afaiak is that quality of football has nothing to do with being a football fan, otherwise we would all support Barcelona and nobody would turn up to any game not featuring half a dozen teams from the premier league.
Being a fan is not about logic, it’s about passion. It’s about having an emotional connection to the team of your choosing. It’s about identification. And the deeper you identify the more your personal feelings become entwined with the team’s results.
Once you make the decision to be a fan, you follow the team through thick and thin and you want them to win everything. You invest part of your being in the team and your emotions rise and fall with the team’s fortunes. It is an extension of yourself.
How you react to (or write about) your team’s fortunes is, to a large degree, a reflection of your personality.
O well, another rant at the end of a thread that nobody will read coz they’ve all moved on. *shrugs*
