Big Geordie

Hazard 1-0.

Mick Lowes brown-nosing Pardew on Radio Newcastle - calling his team selection 'bold and brave'.

First game that I won't be viewing for a while - just gonna made do with Radio Newcastle. I fear we are gonna get horsed.

Did we really spend 33 million last January? Did we bollocks, that includes wages for the next ten years and schooling fees for the kids they haven't had yet. Seemed high. Unbelievable.

Aye, heard that. Yet about 10mins beforehand he said if the amount of people who'd told him they weren't renewing didn't, then the ground would be empty next season. Radio Newcastle defo trying to play down the cancellation/non-renewal rumours, though. They are definitely trying to keep the club onside - probably fearful of Ashley cancelling their commentary contract.

If it's true, it's a canny drop inside 4-5 days

Just been some lad txt'd in on TS who reckons 5000 have so far not renewed. Of course, unconfirmed but Martin the Mackem shouted it down straightaway.

Martin has done that before (to me) when I've mentioned the club lying, on previous calls.

Wraith on Radio Newcastle. Saying this himself, his dad and his brother aren't renewing their season tickets. Picked up on my 'North Korea' comment, which I said on the wireless yesterday morning. Says he's been warned about not criticising the regime on certain media outlets (I would assume Sky) Moi; 2hrs 22 mins in, yesterday; http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p01q02lb/Alfie_and_Charlie_at_Breakfast_03_02_2014/ TS just pulled him when he mentioned about the club 'lying in court' over Keegan. It's Martin the mackem hosting again tonight.

Kinnear will be on Talksport soon enough - unless of course, Ashley has made him sign a confidentiality clause as part of his pay off (if he got one)

Respect for those that have packed in - I know it won't have been an easy decision. I would have done the same had still been going, although I packed in 6 years ago. Club is rotten to the core and it sounds like some momentum is going now, which he will take notice of.

This

Again, I wonder if season ticket renewal time has owt to do with this. If it does, it shows Ashley can be got at and pressure needs to continue being applied. MOAR!!!

Good news, just need the fat kernt to sell up. More worryingly who comes in now...... Dennis wise to return? Would just be like Ashley.

Great piece from George. Wonder if the club will ban him soon too?

Ashley' will have another semi on today- with Happy Face ready and waiting for a pearl necklace.

Gonna be on Radio Newcastle very soon to talk about what's going on.

Happy Face - what have you been smoking?

Before my time (just!) I know he is also very well respected at Blyth Spartans. I also believe he has been ill for some time (cancer) RIP.

The lack of dignity in that interview is staggering. Ashley and Kinnear hang him out to dry like some patsy (which of course he is) What exists at the club now, is some sort of facist regime, where dissenters will be weeded out, with also the club attempting to control the media, by banning those that seek to question (like the local rags) and put out club-friendly propaganda via the likes of Sky and SD news. Shameful!

Fair play Stray Mackem - you's wanted it more on the day and I agree with all you have said.

He did yes - said the fans made it hard for the players. :-/

Ashley has Sky in his back pocket.
