Wullie

Massive result like, would really have been crash and burn time without a win today. Can see Bilic away very soon.

Genoa 2-0 Juve after 7 minutes.

Fuck off blaming the fans, man. It's Mike, not the supporters. Remember when Pardew blamed the fans? It's a cunt's trick. Most wrongly blaming the fans are subscribers of SKY which funds Mike far far more than any turnstile. 2 games into the season and already the internet turns on fellow fans, a good percentage of whom have been going for decades. Love owt like this. I gave up going 3 years ago because I couldn't stomach putting a single penny more in Mike Ashley's pocket. If everyone else had done the same, he'd be a distant memory. An absolute martyr. Keep doing what you're doing mate, cling on to Mike. He'll change. He's promised. If nobody turned up to games Mike would still be here collecting the huge amounts of TV money. Money which dwarves the gate receipts. "Distant memory" He's a money man and cares not one bit about the fans. Your opinion, I disagree. Keep stuffing your money into his pockets. See how much it helps. I'm not I'm just sticking up for the distasteful slagging off of the common man suffering a rich man's lies. Just keep ignoring the SKY thing, though. The sky thing is a strawman really though. As other fans of other clubs are going to keep buying sky, casual fans etc. A lot of newcastle fans giving up sky isn't going to affect him even remotely. Sky won't lose money. They don't agree PL deals for rights based on our fans. They would not like an empty SJP tho as for advertisers it taints the brand We're talking about the money from sky being more important to Mike than gate receipts. Not the running of sky itself. Even if the ground was empty the only people it would hurt would be the fans. Sky money would still keep coming, regardless. Don't get me wrong, an empty ground would look awesome...but slagging off the fans is just not right. It's distasteful and playing out the rich man's rhetoric. It's not just gate receipts. I don't think we'd have got out of the Championship with an empty ground for a start. Fans staying away instills a terrible negativity round the place, and that's what the club needs long-term. Tough love. It needs to get to a point where he says "this isn't going to improve and it's too much hassle for no gain so I'm out".

f*** off blaming the fans, man. It's Mike, not the supporters. Remember when Pardew blamed the fans? It's a c***'s trick.

See how much it helps. Emily Davison - Threw herself infront of the King's horse. Rosa Parks - refused to give up her seat for a white man Wullie - watches the matches on Sky instead Snide streams actually. Fight the power. Not having a go here whatsoever Wullie, but what are your thoughts on the "never give up on supporting your club, he is one man" Keegan quote? Nice sentiment, doesn't work in reality. He's the most ruthless of businessmen, and allowing sentiment to cloud judgement is what he thrives on, why he bought Newcastle, because he knows the supporters will fill his pockets come hell or high water.

Never had Sky Sports in my life. I do have Sky though. We're not on Atlantic very often.

8 corners to 3.

Everyone has their own reasons for doing what they do, I'll never criticise any fan for going or packing it in. I'm really not. Just telling you how to get rid of him instead of whinging on because he's fucked Rafa over like everyone with a fucking brain cell knew he would.

Bit of a bummer if you've just forked out close to a grand for one like my sister has. Did she not know who the owner was?

Phew. There'll be absolute hell on if Rafa leaves like. Sure wouldn't want to be in Ashley's shoes at the next home game when the fans pay him to fill his ground, buy his overpriced beer, sing songs about him and possibly even indulge in some mild grumbling before leaving early to beat the traffic. Watch your back Mike!

If every other club is borrowing in order to spend their guaranteed income to strengthen, you have to be pretty bloody stupid to employ a strategy of basically just keeping your fingers crossed and hoping they don't all strengthen enough to relegate you, especially when you're only starting from a Championship squad to begin with, unlike 17 of your 19 competitors.

Why would anyone expect a Premier League club to have access to significant funding? Haven't you been keeping up with the news this summer that they're all absolutely skint?

Free header from a corner, looked like Murphy(?) and Darlow got in each other's way trying to get to it. Not sure how it ended up going in but it's hopeless defending.

Linked from the Kenedy thread but better in here: Hawksbee and Jacobs on Talksport . Radios version of Baddiel and Skinner Not nearly as funny. I think they used to write for Baddiel and Skinner back in the day. They did. They helped create Fantasy Football iirc. Read a good article about FFL earlier, didn't see it posted on here: http://www.football365.com/news/a-football365-love-letter-to-fantasy-football-league

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.
