Last PL brace was Albert in 96, according to Lineker on MOTD anyway.

Aye.

Not human rights abusers I'm guessing.

Breaking news.

Yeah it's proper bizarre. Then they'll typically move onto discussing whether e.g. Everton have spent enough in this hypothetical window at only £80m without the slightest hint of self-awareness.

Totally with Rory Smith on this, it's fucking preposterous.

That is fucking ludicrous. I despise this modern interpretation of offside.

Wagner gone.

They'll be keeping it for tomorrow's Mediawatch.

He's not missing the point, he's just being a knob.

Loving betting on the A-League at the minute. The top teams are free scoring but nobody can defend. Had quite a few BTTS/win successes over the last few weeks. Perth Glory were 2-0 down with 20 minutes left this morning, then 3-1 down, and won 4-3. Things seem to go mental in the late stages in most games.

A more blatant wind up attempt I've never seen. Keys is proper pathetic like, just a genuine arsehole.

There'll be a lot of Boro fans want him back.

They were 1-0 up with twenty minutes left and gave away 3 penalties. Strong side too.

Has the £10-15m not done that?

I'd actually notice 4x my salary though. None of this lot would.

Not to mention it was about £3 to get in.

League position is neither here nor there. Sunderland fans will look back far more fondly on this season than any of the half dozen they spent clinging to life in the Premier League. Newcastle United as it is is completely without purpose, which is far more important than whether we're 11th or 14th. To what end are they actually playing football? It's supposed to represent the city and the people and I fucking hope it doesn't because it's nothing more than a pathetic empty shell, useful only as a billboard for cheap socks.

When have you supported through worse than this?

That’s exactly the point. I, along with thousands others, are happy to get at him in every way we can other than stopping going. Why should we allow one man to stop us doing our hobby. Surely he wins. Maybe not financially, but his agenda wins if he makes it unbearable for us to be there. As long as Rafa is there or there’s something worth supporting I will be there. Happy to boycott a single match, sure, but not give it up. You've said yourself all he cares about is money. How does he win if you stop giving it to him? Your position is that you are thwarting him by giving him £500+ a year unconditionally and indefinitely. This position, to any impartial observer, is completely fucking mental. Btw there isn't anything worth supporting there. Hasn't been for years.

Aye, it is. Attack his business interests apart from this one which we must continue to funnel money into unconditionally.

Another perfect example of why you'll never get the fans onside. You and several other posters on here think yourself to be "better" than them for not going to games. It's fucking weird man. People just have different priorities and different things going on in their lives. For some, NUFC is their main passion / hobby. The sooner people on here stop calling them "sheep" and thinking they're better than them, the better. Just accept their opinion, and look for a way to get at Ashley that most people can get on board with. What, you don't think NUFC is/was the main passion/hobby for those who've walked away because they don't want to fund what's happening to it like you do? You absolute plum.

If you fund it, you endorse it as far as I'm concerned. We're many years past the point where you could attend through gritted teeth but not believe your attendance was legitimately damaging to the club. I don't believe there's any such thing as being anti-Ashley and still giving him money. The two positions are mutually exclusive. Ultimately, people can do what the fuck they want as fortunately I couldn't give a stuff any more.
