The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I've had a good few PM's from Geordie expats and would-be expats since I adopted Big Al as a sig-pic.

Posty on here for all things Toon related or general EPL chatteriness.

Schoolboy error by Cech there, Arse 1 Chel$ea O HT.

Well this one isn't as popular as the State of Emergency thread, is it?

Give it time. Like the Toon, it's a Sleeping Giant and a Massive Thread which has The Best Fans in the World.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Try the Locker Room?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

If you've adopted Big Al as you sig, can you do one of his innovative post goal celebrations and prove to be as rivetting a half time commentator as he has proven to be.

Very nice. Beats playing that Italian burd at left back.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Yeabut. This is for Toon fans in Canada or on their way to Canada. (If that's allowed O Mighty One).

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I used to watch Newcastle regularly when I was a youngster. My Uncle was (and still is) a season ticket holder and before he had his own kids I was the best excuse he had. This was back in the days of Wyn Davies and Pop Robson.

I moved to South London when I was 19 and sort of adopted Crystal Palace.

Sorry.

Up the Everton!! Must admit, can't wait to go to a few Toronto FC games this year, my english mates tell me it's like the atmosphere back in Britain in the 80s!

Racist chants, darts in the eye, sharpened pennies? I'll dig out me tonic suit.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

ID has a lot to answer for!! Nah, there was one muppet who chucked a beer bottle onto the pitch, the whole stand pointed him out as they don't want the authorities to ban alcohol or that because of a few wannabe-casuals

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

BYKER GROVE!!!!!!

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I too am of a certain age. Wyn "You've not seen nothing like the Mighty Wyn" Davies and Pop Robson? Them woz the days.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Goodness me! Are you from Byker?

<runs away and hides>

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

We'll have none of that mackem crap in here, if you don't mind. This threads about football not comedians.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

well you get more entertainment from comedians than from football ...

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

that's certainly true in S**derland. :rofl:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Up the Toon, we celebrated with the lads in Newcastle on Saturday, watched the game got very drunk, had a bad head on Sunday. Way to go.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Yes, a massive, massive victory. Although it was possibly the worst match ever played in the EPL, we got the points. 'N thass all tha' marrers.

Gan on the Toon! We've got the mighty Derby at St. James's on next.

<can they bugger that up?>

Edit: I've just been over to the grauniad site, and it says there that {{{l'il mickey}}} is stilled crocked after all. We'll have to face the Mighty Rams without him. For the seven hundredth time since he was signed.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

My daughter asked if he'd left cos he never plays:frown:

yeah got to admit it wasn't the best match we'd seen but they got the points :thumbup:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Guess where I am on vacation at the moment!!!!!
got to agree tho' newcastle fans are the best,unlike those mackems from over the water!!!!!

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

You're on vacation in the Toon?? Are you from there or just nuts?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Where were you when you were sh$t is all I can say.

Just watching our Under-12's wipe the floor with Blackburn.

:thumbsup:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

What do you mean by "when"? We've always been shit. Always will be. But very sweet smelling, attractive shit. Part of the charm of being a Geordie.

Have your lot ever been shit? Will you ever be? Or will you simply redefine "we", should that occur again?

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I think this thread has huge potential for fightyness.

This is a good thing.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

just visiting "home" for xmas

feels wierd to be back tho!!!
anyhoo what's wrang wi the toon? just seein' me marras ye knaa,gan doon t whitley for a pint :)

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

From Whitley Bay eh? When I was a tot in the '50's that was our summer holiday. Me dad would drive us three kids, me mam and me nanna from Westerhope along the old coast road to Whitley Bay for a week in a boarding house. It would rain steadily for days and then he'd come and pick us all up again.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

i was raised on a Diet of John Jensen and Glenn Helder, so yes- we have been sh$t.

I actually yearn for those dark days when you could actually still get a ticket on match day.

le sigh.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I thought he played for Southampton.

<le tiss, boom!>

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

shut it Girl! im sick of u saying that everytime im on the phone to my mam :lol:

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Hmmm. I've obviously been away far too long. It seems britishvixen and celine are referring to a BBC TV programme rather than an address. 1989-1994 apparently. Who knew?

I wonder where these two are from?

If yer Geordies give us a sing of "Fog on the Tyne".

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Altogether now, "we can have a wee wee, we can have a piss on the wall". That, curiously, was the first full priced album I bought. It had to be specially ordered in Burnt Oak.

Lyrical genius that Jimmy Alun Hull. For years I misheard "the spittle from his twisted lips ran down to his bowtie" (from the solo album with a Magritte on the cover) as "ran to his glass eye" which made me wonder about physics in Newcastle.

Did you know that the mandolin player, Simon someone, is brewer someone around the GTA now? He's in the Feathers now and then. On one occasion I ran into all the living members of one version of the band in O'Farrell's - they were, of course, unintelligible.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

True story: I've performed in the same folk club on the same evening as Alun Hull; me mangling Dylan and him doing his own stuff, pre-Lindesfarne. He was better than me.

<and its, "we can have a wet on the wall">

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

On the studio original. On the live album it's not bowdlerized.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I see. I always thought the alliteration in the phrase was what makes it stand out.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

I loved it for the vulgarity, as a youth it spoke to me of a world of ruffians beyond the North Circular.

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Always loved Alan Hull's "Winter Song",when he performed it on stage by himself during the Xmas concerts...

btw I've seen the fog on the tyne today :)

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

Of course these days, it's "Zog on the Tyne"

<wrestles thread back to the subject of footy>

Re: The Toon Army / EPL thread
 

As in sitting in a sleazy snackbar supping sickly sausage rolls (or whatever it was).
