Trying to work out if I can be arsed to go to this when I'm up at 5:30 tomorrow. Considering binning it off and watching it in the pub. And then thinking ahead as to if I can be arsed to go to the pub.

What's the deal if you don't cancel by Friday, locked in to paying for another season at least?

Oh yeah, this match is happening.

I can imagine the response to that being like when Dr Evil asks for a ransom of 90 billion dollars or whatever in the 60s and everyone just laughs and starts spouting huge made up numbers.

So we find out Rafa's off the day after the season ticket renewal date?

Was surprised to hear my dad say he was thinking of not renewing.

Ashley would probably give him a £150m transfer kitty.

"What's going on?" as if 'takeover stalled and no transfers in' is a new question that needs a thought-out answer beyond 'Ashley' At least mainstream sources are acknowledging this

I'd like to think that Dennis Wise being Newcastle mana...hheeuuuuurrrrrgh.....sorry, manager, would be everyone's red line. I'd like to think that. Get behind Wisey and the lads, what's complaining going to do?

Ah yes. Shows how much attention I've been paying

Can we not just promote him up the striker pecking order above Joselu at least and start getting him some premier league minutes?

Sterryble.

Looks like it falls to me to be a jobsworth spoilsport and merge them then

Is this basically the replay pre-match thread or can nobody be arsed to make one?

Aside from the obvious "Hurr, durr, I was just pretending to be an idiot, I got you good" are BT happy that he;s using his pundit position not to give insight, but to say things which are wrong just because lol, got a reaction?

Neutrals' responses to hairy hands' comments

I have. Ashley sympathisers. The type of sheep keeping him here Their revenue relies on people reading and clicking on the plugs for The Warerooms and bookies through their match preview in between finding out who the ref is. They don't offer anything in the way of wider insight, it's all about match reports, stats, ticket information, the mechanical details of supporting a normal club. They benefit from encouraging complacency, from people not really caring about the big picture and just dutifully following from match to match as if nothing's wrong. If people see following Newcastle as pointless, if they have more to worry about than if we last beat today's opponents on Boxing Day 2003, then visiting nufc.com is pointless.

Don't get the feeling we'll go down. Would be too interesting. Scrap survival in turgid mediocrity.

On BT Jenas actually did a good job as the voice of reason last time they discussed Newcastle. It's difficult for people in the situation where someone is spouting such utter unmitigated nonsense, because the appropriate answer is that say "What the fuck are you on about? You are absolutely thick as pig shit on this matter, and you've no business even sitting here giving an opinion about it, everything you've just said is either a deliberate lie or wilful ignorance" but common courtesy and professionalism preclude you from doing that.
