Main story on look Tyne tonight

that is phucking pathetic.. a total embarrassment to north east football.. and i didn't say that after one of their fans took a **** in the fountain or after one of their guys shagged a seagull in the high street. just so desperate and cringe and naff.. i'm so glad we have nothing to do with them.

well just let the chelsea fans spread the word about boro.. we don't need out local news to be about us what so ever.. the streets don't lie
 
Well it's certainly not the lead on Look North. Very much a Teesside story, unfortunately.

Behave. There were two headlines in the local news preview during the national 6 o'clock news; The Mackems' Jawdee love-in and some remote off-grid house for sale in the Dales.

They started the local program with yet another negative Teesside story about drug dealers and knife crime.

I developed the chips on both my shoulders after neigh on 60 years watching 'local' news bringing us positive jawdee reports and negative Teesside reports.

When there is a positive report about a Teesside man/woman, they say North Eastern man/woman.
When there is a negative report about a Teesside man/woman, they say Teesside man/woman.

and conversely:

When there is a positive report about a Newcastle man/woman, they say Newcastle man/woman.
When there is a negative report about a Newcastle man/woman, they say North Eastern man/woman.

Its a pattern I noticed years and years ago and hasn't improved much over the years.

Am I bitter & twisted?
