That PR bloke would have set that up and then convinced Mike it was the way to go. Pressure was building due to Rafa's excellent relationship with fans and press. Yep. Sad part is a fairly sizeable proportion of our fan base has fell for it hook, line and sinker. That's a large part of the reason that I can't see him ever being serious about selling us. He's got it far too easy. He's got it insanely easy and it genuinely makes me sick. If we lose to Forest, many fans will not blame Ashley for not building an adequate squad and treating the cups like they're a distraction. Instead, the club will be praised for losing to lower league opposition so we can concentrate on that important 17th place finish. Ashley has exposed the pathetic, spineless attitude of many of our fans. It's no wonder we never win owt and are lumbered with Ashley for another 10 years. Some people even blaming Rafa for this season so far more than they blame Ashley. we're f****d. "It's only a black eye, it'll heal. Mike loves me and he's promised me he'll change!"

Think you walk under the Milburn stand and the entrance is on your right near the glass doors where the players and staff go in iirc.

It was on at the end. That steward.

Very confused for a moment there, thought Barcelona had signed an eponymous player.

Everything that's happening now was so fucking predictable. It's why I started this thread: http://www.newcastle-online.org/nufcforum/index.php/topic,97912.0.html The only thing that might stop this constant farce is to stop funding it. People won't though, so on we go, but please don't complain about it.

Neither have I. Was that in-play?

Support the team, not the regime.

Post from the tickets and travel forum that might be of help for anyone going down tomorrow:

Atleti back to 2-2

Girona lead 2-0 against Atletico, ex-Boro man Stuani with both.

Nah.

Wasn't it just that Ferguson was livid about him not playing? Don't think there were any financial penalties reported, if there were it must have cost us a fortune. I can only remember him starting against Pompey in the cup though I'm sure there must have been a couple of other games he did.

Daniel Storey's absolutely relentless like. He must do nowt but write about football 24/7.

:lol:

Neale Barry letting Gravesen's tackle go has to be up there with the worst decisions.

Neymar scores.

Fucking hell, Shelvey. Thick as absolute mince. Complete liability as far as discipline is concerned, just doesn't learn at all.

Sissoko starts.

They get absolute dogs abuse from our own fans even as they're trying to force him out when things are really bad. Trying to do it when they're not is a million times more difficult.

This is why I gave up arguing the toss about Mike Ashley. Some people can't be helped.

Been no cards yet though.

Aye. Looks much better with the Sports Direct stuff everywhere imo.

Can't cash out these new free bets, God what a load of shite.

Little wank.
