This match syncs up perfectly with my footballing world view. Blame the mackem and the VAR.

VAR With the right outcome yet again. You are so weird.

Had White FGS at 13/2. Cow.

Eh? Isn't the season ticket deadline approaching?

2.5 years I think I read.

Another fucking walkout.

He's off to China, the guy that did the interview with him has said it. The guy, you mean Caulkin? Yes. Ok, so the article where there is not one quote from Rafa saying he is going to China, just Caulkins sub-heading.

I must admit, I get properly 'triggered' by this phrase. a) he's a multi millionaire, his kids are already in that position, and their kids b) is that what all rich people want for their children, not to ever work and just sit round all day spending money they didn't earn? Seems a weird point of view for a guy like Benitez who loves work so much.

He used to prioritise a English job because he said that him working on the continent had been very hard on his family in the Wirral. Seems odd therefore to decide to get a one bedroom flat in some random Chinese city. I'm disappointed in any notable European football figure going to China, doesn't take long for most of them to realise that it's pretty unfulfilling, football in a half empty stadium that nobody's interested in. Yeah yeah, I get it, they get paid a lot of money, because the mugs who settle for Juventus are going short. That's sod all to do with him leaving NUFC btw. He's 100% right to tell those cunts to fuck off and it amazes me he didn't do it earlier.

China's a bizarre decision if there's truth in it, goes against almost everything I thought I knew about Benitez. He cares a lot about football and nobody out there gives the slightest stuff. I think he'll regret it within weeks and be back in Europe within months.

I'll ring Watchdog and see if they fancy featuring the club on Rogue Traders.

He was joking ffs Just flies over the head of some unfortunately. :lol:

Ha, interesting, cheers.

Nobody[/member] Why on Earth is there an Allsvenskan game today with an 11pm kick off?

Barry Glendenning fairly scathing about our fans on Football Weekly.

Hold on. You do realise that the person he pretended to speak to (Midhat) has actually spoken to other people on WhatsApp and that's why it was vaguely believable aye? Ashley inevitably pulling the plug is beside the point. Go to the full thread for facetime and audio recording. It'll mean nothing in the end and it's a bizarre thing to do, but he has been talking with people. https://twitter.com/dxvidmetcalfe/status/1143538945684385794?s=19 Oh sorry, I didn't realise "Takeover Man" has been video calling teenagers from Bedlington, that's far more believable.

For the avoidance of doubt, mods and admin have no access to passwords at all. I think we can change them, if you've forgotten yours for example, but we cannot see them. We can do anything we like with your profile though.

Hang on, somebody pretended to be talking to the guy behind the "takeover" on Whatsapp, and adult humans actually believed this, and now want him banned?

There hasn't been a waiting list since about 1998.

Someone chin Andy ffs.

Not trying to be funny or downplay your suffering or anything but I just find posts like this so odd. This has been going on for 11 years now. If you didn't 100% know this was coming at some stage, you've been very naive. It's like being devastated about your wife's 47th affair having known about the other 46. It's not going to stop anytime soon so I would brace yourself for more heartache or, much more sensibly, just toss it off altogether. I disagree, understand ToonArmy1892 completely. Rafa brought feelings that had been missing for years. Hope, belief, pride, dignity. Those feelings go with him. Many of us started to believe in a bright future for this club, especially with talks of a takeover floating about. A future with Rafa and without Ashley. There ain't no takeover and there never was.

Starting the season ticket payments on the ten year deal in February was very smart. Every summer, thousands of people throw good money after bad.
