The loyalest fans in the world
Newcastle United held an open training sessions last week and 10,000 people turned up to watch. Which begs the question: watch what? The players weaving in and out of cones? Anyway, some people call this passion but I'm not so sure. I mean, really: get a fucking life. 10,000 grown men, taking the day off work, queueing for an hour, living through their team. "Again and again," a Newcastle fan wrote, "we prove that we are the loyalest fans in the world. 10,000 turned up today to watch the team TRAIN!" The loyalest fans in the world. Capital letters for train. This is the excitable prose style of an S Club Juniors fan.
