ever ran into him when he's not on view of the media etc. i've bumped into him a few times in the diamond (ponteland) and he's a different bloke to that that appears in the media. very similar to dalglish in his media persona.

We are Newcastle and we don't care about a few millions more or less. You are Bolton and counting every penny. Newcastle fan in assuming new midfielder will be better than Nicky Butt shocker. Turns out the Bolton fan was spot on, good for him. I hate to say it but as Blefuscu implies, you seem to base your opinion of your fellow fans on the bilge Sky Sports News and the Sun produce. No, see that's quite arrogant to even suggest that. I read the forum, just gave you guys quotes from 2 threads that personally read through at the time. Now its all from Sky Sports news. Greeeat. were those quotes the majority view. look through any clubs forums and you'll see similar.

to be fair the reason a lot don't like us are reasons why i don't like a fair few newcastle fans (ie ssn rent-a-mongs) and nufc's portrayal in the media which bares no relation to the nufc reality that i know of.

i was thinking something along those lines. i wondered how the press would have took to gary speed if he had been appointed ?

Leaner? It's already too thin as it is! Apart from that I agree with the majority of the article. it's thin on quality however the balance is all over the place.

Let him build his own team first before you judge him. FFS He has a f***ed up squad at the minute left over from Roeder, Allerdyce, KK, Kinear (wise). Its like a mk2 ford cortina botched up to f***, with roller skates for f***ing wheels. Its on the highway to relegation. Give hims a fcuking chance. Aye, and would you give said cortina to an apprentice to make it brand new? Nah you wouldn't, you'd give it to someone with experience of fixing the fucker! most experienced mechanics would say "nah, scrap it". probably only an apprentice would want to give it a go.

apart from the "bond to the local community" bit.

I would love it if Mr Danby sues the arse off Louise Taylor, love it! i'd rather he cornered her and raised his arm as if to strike her, so she'd wet herself in fear. then he walks away without laying a finger on her. leaving her in a puddle sobbing "roy,roy where were you when i needed you ?"

have you had a look round this place for that sort of delusion. do your own thinking, don't let the sun do it for you.

before monday i thought 7 points would probably keep us up. 1 down 6 to go. more worrying was the performance. apart from the back 4 we were all over the place and played with the desperation of a championship club a goal down to a prem club with 10mins left of a cup tie. themanpstairs----------i'd reccomend some form of psychotherapy.

Well why don't you piss off back to the other thread you've ruined? why don't you piss off back to the other board you tried to start up with the few people left that still delude themselves about Ashley ? Or haven't got the balls to admit they were wrong when they have disagreed with me all this time. Whats this other message board that the Ashley apologists have set up? I wondered why all the Ashley defenders had gone quiet, I thought it was because the penny had finally dropped and they had realised at last that the bloke has been an absolute disaster for Newcastle, he's set us back years and thanks to him we probably won't be challenging for a decade or more. No wonder a lot of fans are not renewing yep, they hadn't saw sense at all, or weren't going to admit it anyway The plan was right the execution was poor. ah, but so many people said they didn't have a "plan", [other than buying the best quality players possible to the club which resulted in regular european qualification] unlike Ashley who presumably did, which we are now 2 years into. Only 4 clubs "executed" this policy better than we did during their time in charge of the club. How does that grab you ? alternativly buying and paying those players with money we didn't have and are struggling to pay back which resulted in the club going backwards on the pitch. the difference between us and leeds for a while was that we didn't need euro qualification, the club budgeted without it. by the end of fred's tenure that didn't seem to be the case. if you still don't get my point, and it seems you don't. Reflect on the money Ashley has saved in the last 18 months. You should be pleased with that. he hasn't saved any money. the club has continued to haemorrhage cash and he has put his hand into his pocket to make up the shortfall. do you think we should have borrowed say, £30mill to spend on players (fees only),on top of borrowing around 20-30million to get by day to day ?

you also get docked another 3 points i believe. field a youth team and get 4 sent off straight away,then it'll be abandoned and awarded 3-0 to them.

he's never really used it when fit.

doesn't matter if it's a foreigner or not.

Bit flippant that Nixon.I know what it feels like,i've already experienced it twice,but never as a fully grown man... I know but its different with you Billy mate, Towelie is in another country. I walk through the city every day, read the Chronicle board every day, this club is the only real football I've known, I've gone on about Juve but they were not a tenth as prominent in my life as Newcastle, as a lad I only wanted Newcastle shirts no other teams. Room was Newcastle mad, In my short time I've seen us draw at the San Siro, and now I'm its likely we'll be playing Leeds next year. so basiclly you are in a city where the majority are going through the same thing ? doesn't that mean towelie should have it harder as he has to go through it on his own ? You think everyone in Newcastle is a newcastle fan? At least he can get away from it. the majority in newcastle are newcastle fans. he can't get away from it if many (friends,colleagues,the girl who fled to spain cos of his advances,family etc)know he is a newcastle fan.

a shrug of the shoulders,"it's my team, can't change it" will win anyone over

It's what everyone at work/down pub/in the streets talks about though Mardraw...maybe pain is over emphasising a bit...but I have had urges to knock out these gloating c***s down here. why ?

open letter to mike ashley.... Dear Mike, Please do something as all these open letters are starting to wear each other out. Cheers Your pal NE5

pain ?..........it's football not cancer or swine flu,it's not even as if your one and only true love has fled to somewhere far away...spain for example.

I don't expect him to bear four players every game, but as an attacking midfielder I expect him to score some goals and make more than 3 assists a season. Not too much to ask eh? played martins through very well last night. obviously if he 'd have gave it to him for an over head 30yarder he'd have scored.

aye. duff was a MOTM contender today. he played well.

and when he didn't have the ball he strolled about and looked injured (i wonder) He was one of the only players trying to move into positions to get the ball, bought us some freekicks by going on good runs with absolutely no support around him what so ever. Not sure what he really could do in that disgrace of a team. But like I said obviously he's the new scapegoat so I'll just leave you lot alone to get on with it. not the new scapegoat.......just looked like he couldn;t be arsed whern he didn't have the ball.

we were desperate, we looked like a team without plan or pattern trying to get by on individual talent (ahem). one or two (mr martins and mr gutierrez i'm looking at you) seem to have lost any desire. barton on second half at anfield then full games to the end..................the bitter end.
