tbh I couldn't care how much they're "worth" if they only have £15 in liquid assets.

Eh, I've come to accept the fact that it's pointless to try to equate local and remote support. People on here who grew up with Newcastle just look at and support the club in a whole different way than I can or do. And even if I moved to tyneside it wouldn't be the same because I'd have missed out on the formative years with it. I don't feel bad or down about that though, not by any means. It's not better or worse, just entirely different. And you see that reaction from local fans when they question how a foreign fan could support a team 5000 or more miles away -- to them it doesn't make sense and we struggle to really explain it. I've given up on reconciling the two as just about impossible so I'd rather just respect them for who they are and hope they respond in kind. For a long time though I did have a bit of inferiority complex about it, like I though I could never love the club as much as a "real fan" could or be as "good" a supporter. But then one day I just kind of came around to ignoring what the mongs say. And TBH people who try to hold things like that over someone elses head need shot. my .02

yes, can't tell, yes, yes.

Better to cling to the reality that we can do better than 17th than wallow about in self pity and misery like some of the sorry sacks of shit on this board

Put shola up against aids, cancer and nuclear war and he'd probably still win this poll.

really got to say Butt.

It will never cease to amaze me how many people on this board are completely incapable of realizing that there can be more than one party at blame for anything.

Aye, leave king Kev alone. It's not his fault he done a runner at the worst possible time leaving the club in the shit. B...b...but he was forced into it, he had no choice. No such thing as free will.

Seriously. They're not the ones playing the game or anything.

Absolute joke ranger's not starting.

Takeover happens New Owners unhappy with current managerial prospects Joe stays on with a 1 mo rolling contract Wins FA cup and finishes top half Would have him for a 2nd season That is what it would take, bare minimum. However, since that's not an option, I voted "absolutely nothing"

Why do I imagine you sitting in a pizza place where the telly has football on, shouting like a mad man while the place is full of people staring at you not even knowing what football is? Could be because I did it myself when I was in LA back in April. I'd love to be that guy, but I can't find any toon fans in Atlanta to drink with at a pub at 10 in the morning so I drink alone in front of my big screen TV. Yep, I have regrets.

Not me like, I'll be booing my fucking lungs out. At the tele. 5000 miles away. Those of you who can attend better be in good voice though

What's all this talk of management? Shearer would probably be coming back as a striker when Owen goes in Jan and Viduka/Smith both apparently dead.

What the deuce

Exceptionally poor effort. (edit: from.com)

This whole fucking club is a plague now.

No one's said it's racist Phil K has over-thought peoples objections to his objection: "Well I'm skeptical of the Nigerian bid, but people are questioning my skepticism, and since Nigerians are black they must think I'm only skeptical because I'm racist. WELL I'M NOT." When the only objection to his objection is that there's too little information to really decide one way or the other as of yet.

I'm willing to tempt fate by asking how much worse could it possibly get? As for me, I wasn't even walking when we were in the lower divisions so I can't imagine what it was like. This is pretty bad though, not happy with anything about this situation at all.

Fuck it, roll on 2009-2010

The first rule of fight club is, we do not make excuses for Steven Taylor.

I don't even want to draw up a ridiculous formation, that's how disheartened I am.

Hope to fuck this is concluded before next Sunday. Pretty sure there's no chance it will get done before blackburn but it really can't wait much longer.
