Had my season ticket for 12 years and gave it up 3 years ago due to Ashley and swore id never get another one till he sells up but man fuck me this is a hard one. We are served such a diet of shit with the occasional cherry thrown in there that really id be silly not to get another season ticket when we have one of the worlds greatest managers in charge of us in the Championship!

They have a lot in common with County Durham it seems. Wut? Moved to east Durham some years ago and it is an almost daily occurrence. One morning early doors I was walking to the corner shop and across the road there was this old bloke feeding a twix to a horse.

Pardew dancing man.

Well said.

Think I must have read the body language different to most others. Seemed to me like he was staying. Specially the way he was with Townsend.

If he is the kind of man we think he is and the kind of man he comes across as then I think he'll stay. He was looking for a project to build a club up long term and he saw us as the perfect fit. He thought he could keep us up but he couldn't, that will irk him. If he is the man we think he is he will want to right that wrong and if he was genuinely serious about the project at NUFC in the first place then what is one season in the championship? A mere small step backwards. We are the perfect fit for him and long term this partnership could lead to something very special indeed. it's just the ownership that could fuck this up.

If Rafa does go he takes mine and I suspect most of our collective give a fucks with him. If he goes, let hell be unleashed on this club, fire, dragons, the lot. Plunge the divisions, whatever it takes to rid the club of this cancerous despot because only then will we have anything even remotely worth caring about again.

The only glimmer of hope we have left as a fan base. Couldn't bare to watch this team with someone else in charge now.

Atmosphere played a huge part in this result. Had we been playing them at any other time with a deathly silent crowd we might have just scraped a win.

Their crowd being up for it didn't help matters but fuck me we were pathetic.

Solid defensively but almost nothing going forward. No energy or drive. Worried.

Still remember the high that I was on after the man u match where he curled in that free kick. Wor lass still dreams of the scuttling she took when I got in later on so for that reason I can never hate the bloke.

Honestly, I actually sat up in shock second half when he played a pass forward along the ground. Don't think I have ever done that.

Was pretty much our only outlet today, preventing them from being entirely comfortable at the back. Really like the lad.

Thought he was decent today. Retained possession a few times when most others would have lost it and played a few good passes. We need him back to his best these next few games. If we can somehow get him and Shelvey firing again then that will be half the battle.

I'd rather take colback and actually not leave our defence without protection time and time again. I see what you're saying but a lot of the time Colback is useless in all aspects of the game. Even today, he scored but he was still absolutely dick butter.

I have been appalled by his defensive work but him or Colback? Think I'd have him. Might create us the goal that keeps us up.

Couldn't string two passes together for the most part, it was full on hoof ball. Second half was better though.

Starting to get the feeling that Rafa will stay even if the worst should happen.

Ok Stifler.

The Mackems are one of the luckiest teams in the league. Always have been and that probably will cost us in the end.

dat header! Loved his celebration too.

When Sturridge was hacked down/fell over? Oh aye, pretty sure it wasn't a pen. Could've been if he hadn't thrown himself before the leg might've caught him. Slightest of contact and Sturridge made an absolute meal of it. Should have been booked.

Stunned by the result after that first half performance. Townsend and Anita mom. I love Rafa.
