Big Geordie

This is him and what he said.

Sky were reporting there was applause for Llambias and one or two boos.

To be honest, I can't see why he would sell and it really pains me to say that. I believe that NUFC will end up bankrolling his takeover of Rangers and keeping them propped up.

Hard to read and disagree with any of that. As sad as it is.

It beats me as well, Wullie. Is it the cheap tickets, is it because football is still fashionable or is it wanting to go and see class players belonging to other teams?

I remember being at the playoff defeat in 1990 and that hurt like hell, as did the loss to them when Shearer was on the bench. However, today as with the last couple of defeats to them, I'm just not that arsed so I can see where other lads are coming from. I'm still emotionally invested in the club to a certain extent, but it's a pale shadow of what it used to be. Begs the question though - why do 49000 sheep still choose to go? It cant be for hope or to be entertained! Is it down to habit or merely not having anything better to do?

Fucking hell, thats grim as fuck. It's bad and also a shining example of what some of us are fighting against. So many are happy with their lot and it's sickening.

Arguing with some twat over on TF FB. Got myself a Pardew fan, I think.

Well yeah he bought tge club in 2007/8 :lol: It's more than the nuts and bolts. He has the majority of the support beat and the media in his back pocket. That's what I was implying.

Ashley has the club sewn up all nice and tight. He's in complete control.

I thought he did OK, but tired towards the end. Certainly prepared to have a go at his fullback and get some crosses in. Is he the new target for the boo-boys now his brother has gone?

Too afraid of losing a game to try and win it. It's Pardew all over.

Taylor's gonna have a canny shiner tomorrow.

Yup - another hammering beckons.

Some 'wanker' gestures being made as well as one clown who was doing an airplane gesture.

Unfortuntately, saw some of their lot disrespecting the 17th minute tribute. Poor show but that's my only sour grapes.

Just hope that there's no bother after the game from wor lot - that would be the icing on the cake.

Pardew lost us the game today and the the majority of the players aided and abetted him (bar Sissoko, Perez, Sammy and Taylor) Negative tactics, no creativity and just letting them pass their way around the park. We were the home team, FFS! Fed up of this rotten, turgid football and yet there will still be full houses to come. Pardew will be laughing his tits off, as will Ashley. Job done. Disgusted.

Gouffran. Pardew playing for the draw - he's such a fucking coward.

Has anyone got that 'Thunderland' video

Pardew and the polis would bite your hand off now.

Gouffran in the side? Here's to 90mins of his useless heedless chicken routine. Pardew will play for a point. 3 points are there for the mackems, if they are brave enough.
