mate we're up shit creek without a fucking tug-boat

deluded!

I would be if we were prepared. :thup:

first time i've posted on here since we've gone down. no I haven't gone and thrown a strop or owt like that. just been real busy with work, and now i'm finally on holiday and have a bit of time. to be honest, I don't think it's even hit me yet. I walked away from the tv screen as soon as the whistle went at Villa park. I must say I felt guilty for walking away so I returned for a few moments to see Steven Taylor on the ground, and the invisible tears in Shearer's eyes. I started to feel the sadness until I saw the likes of Jonas and others, which reminded me just how shit we have been this season. The sadness was sapped from me in an instant. The cameras panning to the tearful faithful just made me angry and harked me back to Souness' first season in charge, and the fiasco that has followed that since. Anger turned into fury. It was the kind of fury you feel once you are relieved after years of living in fear. We have lived the fear of going down since that 1-0 away defeat at Charlton when Bellamy was hauled off having been our best player. It was all over now, and we could at least rest easy, knowing the embarrassment was all but over for at least a few hours or months. I can't help feel a tiny sense of excitement at the prospect of a robust and energetic Newcastle United outfit that can score goals and win matches once again. But even that tiny glimmer was shattered when I found myself trawling through the Premier League news section of Skysports.com, and realizing I was looking in the wrong place. Fading echoes of all the lads n lasses there, all with smiling faces, gannin along the Scotswood road ring in my mental ears, but with every beat my heart brings the blaydon races back up to my mouth, louder than ever, with the promise of a new era, and a new lease of life for the one true love in my life....the pleasure and pain of supporting a Newcastle United that will once, maybe in a year or ten, rise again from the ashes, and score 3 goals in Milan.

still a class act imo. don't just look at the goals he's scored from there this season, but look at the goals he's been involved in. absolute quality football player, and I believe it's still the belated "dip in form" seeing as he's still so young. I think Ferguson will bring in a specialist for the left and move Rooney more central, especially if Tevez leaves.

class avatar dude

where would the tongue have to be for you to recognize it?

Ashley, Mort, Llambias, Keegan & the players share the blame. What proportion they share, we'll probably never know. Thank you sir. The ONLY post worth reading in this thread. That includes yours quite correct. im just pointing people towards the light here LLLO's post is gospel

the crucial thing about this is that if Shepherd were to chair the board, i hope he will have learned a thing or two about the mistakes he's made in the past. i've nothing against a Shepherd return by all means, as long as he does what he does best, and corrects mistakes of the past that we're still paying for today. all we want is a professional club and a professional outfit to match that can grow year on year. i've previously been a vehement anti-shepherd protester, but the man should get a second chance if he's here to right the wrongs of his past.

You're a decent poster and a good fella by all accounts, and I understand you're hurting, just as we all are, but this post is cretinous at this time tbh.

He's been shit of late, but I agree.

Emnes has hardly played tbh. Fought hard and with a big more game time would have put his chances away. Quite the persistent fucker he is.

My best mate is a Smoggie, and he's a right c***. But here you have shown what football is all about mate. Hard luck and sincerely hope both our clubs stay up. You have some fantastic youngsters with the wrong manager leading them. Oh! And for the sake of football, please sell that total shambles of a footballer Aliadiere. I havent got a clue how your fans haven't hounded him out of the northern hemisphere yet. As bad as some of our players are/have played this season, I was actually relieved to see him come on. A total abomination of a footballer.

What pissed me off the most about Jonas tonight was that he didn't get stuck in. He has shown in the past that he can mix it with some of the hard nutters he's faced week in week out. We needed his effort tonight and got absolutely none.

Kudos to Damien Duff, Seb Bassong, Steven Taylor, Kevin Nolan, and Mark Vidula tonight. Incredible heart, and those in particular dug in really deep to win the game for us tonight. Jonas is fucking weak as piss and offers absolutely NOTHING.

Colossal performance tonight from The Duke! Chased and closed down more than Owen did!! Absolute quality

I was half expecting a tumble-weed smilie for an OP tbh

fyp

any bother in the stands?

Yup. I didn't expect him to miss it. Tbh I knew a goal was coming as soon as he kicked the air.
