Blades vs Notlob?

[Chali 2na]

Am I the only person who is bothered by people's hilarious nicknames?

Wendy, Florist, Manure, Notlob etc - they're awful, in terms of an insult: it's about as cutting as calling somebody a poo-head.

I can't be the only one who cringes when I read them?

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

Regards the other lot, I always refer to em as 'Wednesday bastards'. Every time. 'See him ovva theer? Eeza Wednesday bastard.'

'Dirties' - not bothered.
'Florest' - just don't.
'Dingles' - as above.

Wednesday bastards.

Notlob is amusing. Because I'm immature I can still speak this weird backward language I learnt as a kid so 'notlob' isn't new to me

 

[bladesmanluke]

For a start it's Noblot

I agree with that. "Notlob" isn't a nickname as such - it is spelling words backwards, something we used to do as children for fun, and for that reason I like it. I was on the train coming back from Nodnol the other day, drinking a pint of regal, and thinking about this very emas thing.

It does seem rather pointless making up puerile nicknames for these teams when this site allows you to call them what they are, i.e. cunts and twats.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

If nowt else it gives something else for people to be offended by.

 

[Houso]

Not for the first time in my life I concur with Ainsley Harriot. Depends on the club and 'insult'.

I cringe at Wet Spam and I cringe hard for others at Blunts.

Have you ever seen anyone offended by it?

I know you are, but what am I?

 

[cal the blade]

Well, it isn't.

Notlob has its origins in Monty Pythons dead parrot sketch, so it's not really derogatory, just a bit juvenile for people of a certain age.

Coincidentally, I'm writing this on Notlob station, people are probably wondering why I'm giggling

I drink wobgnorts redic mi sen, mainly krad tee-urf. I like a knird (pronounced 'k-nerd') as often as possible.

Where do Tolbon FC originate from ? ?

Middle Earth?

I feel it is just a more accurate description of the club from Horwich

 

[MightyBlades]

It really riled my pork-supporting mate, when I called Wendy a dirty whore.

It's immature, but it's also football banter and I'll keep on doing it, because it works as an effective retort when he tries to be disparaging to the Blades.

I cringe at Wet Spam and I cringe hard for others at Blunts.

Wet Spam is particularly cringeworthy.

And there's no genuine "rivalry" with Bolton. None at all.

Some of them make me cringe, others make me wonder why people bother and others are funny... I'm an inconsistent hypocrite.

 

[AlanWrightsShinyHead]

It really upsets me when we get called Dee Dars

I just wish they'd stop it

Yeah, what's a Notlob?
You don't make any sense man.

That one does my head in. I don't know anyone who says "dee" or "dar" and I've lived in Sheffield all my life.

There's no rivalry but as it's turned out, they're a bunch of wankers so any slurs should be encouraged
