It's incredible how quickly they've ousted him. I guess they have seen what he's done here and were wise to it, but shit I was sort of hoping Ashley would jump ship to Rangers and sell us somehow. Guess we are stuck with the cunt. The fact the Scottish FA made it obvious that he couldn't own them helped a bit too like. Good news for the Rangers fans though, fair play.

The French Colback. Available on a free, potential to "do a job" and if the worst comes to the worst they can move him on for a modest fee without losing too much in the process. He's collateral damage in the club's grand scheme of things. It'll be "fuck him, move him on for whatever we can get" just as it was with M'Biwa and Santon.

Good header but I think Stegen could have turned it around the post.

Dunno about you but I've been watching a game from the best league in the world. Sky tell me all the time. Do they? When was the last time you heard Sky say this? I can't remember a single time this season, nor the backend of last season. I imagine you are the same type of "human" that when England score a goal in a qualifier will say "thats England guaranteed to win the next 15 world cups then". please furnish me with all these examples of Sky telling you "all the time" that the Premier League is the best in the world. Thanks. Wew.

Finding it hard to hate the bloke tbh. Seems like a decent enough lad, had 2 horrific injuries and has lost nigh on 3 seasons of his (short) career because of them and is probably just grateful to be playing again. Aye, he's poor, we all know he's poor, he probably realises himself that he's not up to it but it's Carver's decision to continue picking him. The difference between him and Williamson is that at least Taylor has looked like a bit of a footballer at times during his spell here. He had a bit of craft and ability, not too much admittedly, but he hasn't looked like a competition winner. Injuries have fucked him massively and I think he's doing his best, unfortunately he's just not up to playing at this level any longer. Needs to be released and drop a division or 2.

Completely agree. Ashley wants x amount for NUFC, nobody will offer close to that for a Championship team. Ashley would never sell at a loss to himself and he would make a loss on us in the Championship as nobody would offer him near enough. Basically, he'd just sit it out however long it took and wait till you got promoted back. Deep pockets. And short arms.

QPR players are already drafting letters as we speak.

I think Hull are going down now. Now the rot's been stopped (sic) it wouldn't surprise me if we won one of our remaining games, not because we're really good or anything but we're due a win. If we win a game of football then hull need to win twice and they won't do that.

Bet the farm on Real 3-2

I liked the bits where he slags the fans off repeatedly the best. Slagging off the soft forrins was a close second.

Struggling to see the obsession of some of just existing in the PL. Making up the numbers and providing slight opposition for the good teams who have ambitions to win the damn thing. Purely from a fan's point of view being in the PL is shite unless you support all but 3 or 4 clubs, the only upside I can see is that you get to see good opposition players in the flesh. Can't understand how any Newcastle fan could look back on the last 5 or 6 seasons with any fondness. We've had the odd notable scalp and the odd really good performance and/or result but it's been pretty grim when viewed as a whole. Losses have long ceased to hurt due to the regularity with which they occur, draws fail to initiate any emotion of any kind and wins barely seem worth celebrating as they just help to perpetuate to situation. Relegation shouldn't be championed necessarily, it's still a massive stigma, but I know surviving another year will change nothing. The same problems that have been here for years will still be there. The money will keep rolling in and the club will continue to be neglected by Ashley. It'll be a case of "as you were lads" and "same again please" if we somehow squeak a win from somewhere and 'survive', that's all it is - survival, we're not going anywhere, we're just hanging around. Relegation would certainly change things, maybe for the worse initially granted, but it would force the club to be run differently. How they'd cope, what they'd do I've got no idea but I'd far rather have my interest piqued by dropping than following this club as it's currently operating. In the words of Bob Dylan - "When you ain't got nothing, you've got nothing to lose". Fuck it, what's the worst that could happen?

That's porn.

Least he didn't give him an easy ride.

This. Completely desensitised to it now and if it happens then it happens, the world will carry on spinning and everyone will just get on with it. If it happens then I'd like to think Ashley will eventually get bored/sick of having to deal with NUFC and just cut his losses (wishful thinking I know) so a spell out of the top-flight may make us enough of a ballache to take seriously. Might take 3 or 4 seasons but the lack of coverage would sway him eventually.

The only thing I find incredible is that some morons will fall for it. Aye that's what I mean tbh, it's incredible that they think they can get away with it and some will still go for it. Anyone with a brain who has been paying the slightest bit of attention will realise that they're now trying to play it both ways in the most shameful way possible. Their "charm offensive" the last few days has been some of the worst stuff yet, they've gone from being silent to openly lying to and manipulating people yet again for their own means and it's fucking rank. This is just blind panic now. They're worried about relegation, losing millions and millions of pounds, losing exposure for SD, losing their investments (players) cheaply in a fire-sale, poor season ticket sales and supporter unrest in the stands for West Brom and West Ham. They're staring down the barrel atm and the thick fuckers have only just realised it. Eight off the bounce and NOW they start floundering about looking to spin it to the idiots. Knock the onus of responsibility back in the court of the fans, "get us out of this please because we've not got a fucking clue how to deal with this shit". It's pitiful, shameless and pathetic the lengths these cunts will go to to hide, deflect and distort things to absolve themselves of blame and responsibility. The alarm bells are deafening and they're like a drunk in the dark, fumbling around trying to turn them off but failing spectacularly. Their incompetence, arrogance and stubborn refusal to deal with the situation in January has caused this mess. How fucking dare they beg for support from the very people they've shit on for the last few years. Fuck them, the club is going down in flames and I want to watch the show. The hotter and brighter the inferno the better, torch the fucking lot of them.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

The morons will lap that shit up like it's going out of fashion. Utterly desperate stuff from 'men' who can see the writing on the wall and are in full-on damage limitation mode. The fuckers will be diving for cover once Anichebe nods one in from a corner in the 8th minute.

The club's lurching from crisis to disaster on a weekly basis. It's a fucking circus, the levels of incompetence are staggering at every single position in the club. Manager, players, MD, coaches, medical staff, PR...every single one of them is just winging it and hoping it'll work out. Tough shit, not going to happen this time, we're going down in flames. I've got no time, respect or sympathy for anyone at the club any longer.

"your club". Still can't get my head around that one. The slimey fucking cunts, dropping that one in there. "your club" so please don't be nasty.

The club is basically a large, nasty boil on the arse of the PL. It needs lancing asap. Take the fucking lot, blood, pus the lot. Relegation will be painful and messy but it probably needs to happen if the club is to have a hope of moving forward once Ashley fucks off.

They can all get fucked. Weapons-grade cunts the whole lot of them.

In that case they'll lose (potentially) hundreds of millions of pounds because they refuse to act. They couldn't find their own arseholes with both hands.
