Big Geordie

North Shields 3 Thornaby 0 450 there, inc Sean Longstaff. Shields played well - should have had 4 or 5.

II’ve made my piece with it. My joy was that Ashley has gone - would be the same with whoever bought our club. I won’t be returning to St James, outside of work but I will enjoy having hope restored. the Saudis are a despotic regime but the PL sold its soul to the devil, long before they rocked up and that’s without forgetting how much business this country does with them.

Awful that from TF. It’s something lnobhead Wraith would do. ?

What's the craic with Harvey Elliott?

Am at work, so will either be at CP or will be at North Shields.

Yeah - that would be a great experience for me to share with my dad, too. He was at the Fairs Cup Final in 69, but to have gone that long without something major is heart-breaking. My old man is 74, so hopefully the next 5 or 6 years...... even a League Cup would do.

I was working at County Hall at Morpeth at the time. The news went around the place like wildfire, with not much work going on. Even the gaffers had a semi-on!

You younger lads enjoy this moment - the only thing I time I can remember such excitement, is when KK returned to the club in 1992 (I was 19 at the time) We know what came after. I think for many of us, we are more happy that 'he' has gone, rather than the new owners. A brave new world awaits.

I remember those days when I was younger. Getting proper ming-monged and feeling rough as fuck the day after. It's why I packed in, as the hangovers and feeling shabby were lasting for longer, on a weekend, the older I got.

Bruce will be in the Sky/BT studio at the first opportunity for one of our games - when he is peddled. Just watch.

He is a mackem? That's horrendous.

I had a Jack Daniels and Coke when the news finally broke. That's my whack as I don't really drink anymore these days!

Taste those salty mackem tears. They are devastated Ashley has gone.

Greg on BBC Newcastle TS now.

Thread should be locked/deleted. Consign him to the past.

Got a mackem as trying to pass himself off as a Mag on TS, at the moment!

Plenty of supporters of other clubs trying to piss on our chips, tonight. There are though also plenty good wishes and relief for us that Ashley is gone.

After a 14 year slumber, the REAL Newcastle United is now awake and ready to compete. Onwards and upwards!

Backed with monopoly money, ultimately. A complete shambles.

Wraith - self promoting bellend.

Cry me a river...... For SSN (via PM)

I'm on a Health and Safety training course in Byker today - home by 3pm though Looking forward to seeing the back of Mike Ashley, at last.

This.

There will be some panic currently going on at Old Trafford, Anfield, New WHL, etc.
