Ha, fuck, I'd forgotten about that. With a manager obviously based on a Mary Sue version of himself solving crimes in between games

Bruce would be a crease, play Daydream Believer instead of Blitzkrieg Bop first home game.

Even if the next owners are shit - Ashley level shit - I don't care. I can't imagine they'll be in control for 12 fucking years, so if we need new shit owners to get rid of current shit owners, then we can try new tactics on the new ones, so be it. At least we're moving forwards through owners towards a day when perhaps we have a half decent one. They could be even more inept than Ashley, but I can't imagine anyone being more stubborn.

If it's any consolation, having a manager and coaching team in the past hasn't meant we're going to spend money or strengthen glaring deficiencies in the squad.

Doing their best from 7:35

Well they were the ones who ran the "Exclusive" of how we were about to be the next Man City, so they would.

Is this now worse than the Stavely and Kenyon "takeovers" combined?

Rafa wanted Rondon and it was literally easier to go half way round the world and ask for him in fucking Mandarin than negotiate with Ashley and Charnley to keep him after the loan

I don't even remember doing this. Oh, who was it - remember replacing a poll and an admin asking where I'd saved the results of the last one. Ahhh, was a general chat thing https://www.newcastle-online.org/forum/index.php?topic=97070.msg6343320#msg6343320

But then how will fans in China see the Sports Direct adverts while we're getting humped 4-0 by Man U?

BlufPurdi[/member] - do you still like to record poll results before we change it?

It's strange that the club do seem to understand the current market for players means that the like of Perez and Longstaff command fees of over £30m. Strange they completely forget this knowledge when it comes to incoming players.

Someone pls hand me a tissue. A sock works at a push.

The DSquared t-shirt is nice, not sure about George Michael's hand-me-down shorts.

Absolutely this loyalty points so you get a cup final ticket to a final we are never ever ever going to be in I thought cancelling memberships was going to get Ashley out and give us a chance of future success?

On the plus side, he's down as a 6.5 midfielder in fantasy and may be a bargain if he's no longer going to be playing with our skeleton crew next season.

Well this is the Catch 22 isn't it, you bin off your ticket in the hope it makes Ashley leave, but if it does work you now want to go to games again and risk not being able to get a ticket for a popular away game or (heaven forbid) a semi final or whatever. I've got over 100 points and starting from the ground up again after putting so much effort in watching mostly shite and potentially missing out on success would stick in the craw. Of course then the other side of the Catch 22 is as you've identified, people keep going, Ashley doesn't leave, you've got no games you want to go to to use your points.

Entirely possible, but only if we get a McClaren style manager who wastes it on shite (or at least on his style of players before he gets binned off and a new manager comes in with different plans), and spend the rest of our lives wondering what Rafa or the next manager could have done with it.

Do you think you keep posting them because you need repeated approval from your peers?

Out three top scorers last season were Perez, Rondon and Schar. If he goes, our highest scoring player from last season still in the team will be Clarke, a defender who started 9 games.

Christ.

People talking about the pressure on Almiron, are they expecting him to play upfront or is it just because he's basically the only attacking minded player we have?

When are the squad numbers finalised? Can't wait to see if Muto or Joselu get the number 9 shirt.
