We're also often refered to as "The most successful ever English Team"....although I think thats more of a statement of fact than a nickname...

Our (Newcastle's) nickname is "The Magpies".

"Toon" is just geordie vernacular for "Town" = Newcastle. Not the side's real nickname.

The Eternal City, proud home of SS Lazio 1900.
Woooow, what a topic I gave birth to... <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

Ok, it's my turn:

stadiums names in Italy are so irrelevant, apart from the big and famous ones, that if somebody doesn't beg me to write'em, I'll skip the subject!
:D

Teams nicks are not frequent, most of the teams are called after their jersey's colours. But a few exceptions exist <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="[Devil]" /> :

Juve= gobbi (humpbacks)
ass roma= mmerde (piece of shit, with a double "m" to stress the word in roman dialect)
