Holmes_and_Watson Posted 26 February, 2023 Share Posted 26 February, 2023 Sad to see Murphy wave bye bye to the Man Utd players, as they go to collect their trophy. Sad to see Bruno finish his man child rolling about, only to find out his team didn't win. Sad to see their murdering owners not quite get sportswashing over the line. Sad to see the most, special fans on Earth, doing exactly what everyone else does, but in a more special way, come away with nothing. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bollox In fairness, statistics on population are always contentious as I have found in many a pub quiz where you have to list the largest cities in the UK. 800k is about right if you look at the Tynside area rather than Newcastle itself.

Fan The Flames Posted 27 February, 2023 Share Posted 27 February, 2023 I was listening to the run up on BBC and they were just as bad. Steve Crossman was nauseating about the amazing gordie fans, he built up how loud the noise would be when the Newcastle team sheet was read out and it just didn't happen, there was a very ordinary cheer.

Newcastle upon Tyne itself was about 298,264 in mid 2021. It all depends on where you draw the borders. Back in my Chamber of Commerce days Eastleigh and Fareham were each around 120,000.
