Fuck off.

Imagine the post-coital analysis and suggesting ways to improve...

Whoosh!!!

Damnit, catching myself singing 'Rondon Calling' under my breath at work

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/topics/c207p54ml3pt/sports-direct This is the true measure of how successful we are.

And middle classes too tbf

That's fucking grim

Wonder if Rafa is behind it to some degree as well. Undoubtedly.

Fee?

Nothing special can or will happen though. All Rafa is doing is delaying the type of protests we need now by a year. We need action now but it won't happen while he is here. This is just a dead year. Au contraire, I think this coming year is the most important and interesting year for fans under the whole of the Ashley regime - Rafa vs Ashley. It will generate wide publicity about how badly our club is being treated. The fact that there was an article in German about a middling English football team with a Spanish manager and no German players, at the top of the front page of the German sports magazine, kicker.de, shows that our plight is gaining traction internationally. Really looking forward to seeing how much damage Rafa can do in these last 12 months.

I know, they're just like Denmark!

So Dave what's the IP locations coming back for from these 2 'new members' that have signed up just to spout shit

Worthy of a new page, that

They're going down again. Pretty much a whole generation of players and a squad that has been playing backs to the walls football and don't know how to win games. The only chance they have is signing 16 new players and separating them from the old first team squad who should be kept as far away from the club as possible.

I bet Charnley fitted it himself as well Judging by the alignment on several of the handles it's not a bad shout.

Pretty sure that's the cheapest MFI kitchen cabinet set you can get.

More like Rafa will leave, then the next clueless scrote of a manager will be given £100m.

But the squad is fine KaKa, right? Anything but fine as it stands with no extra players in and the shit off the field I can't see it ending well at all. It's got relegation written all over it Well yes, that's my point Kaka has been beating the drum that the players coming in are more than good enough and we'll do fine because of Rafa.

Wow

En-masse? Sure, all stop at once and make a difference. One guy on a forum calling for people in general to stop is not the way to win the war. It dillutes the match going fanbase to unreasonable, unreachable happy clappers that can't and won't form any part of a collective protest or boycott. Wait, so your argument is that in order to effectively boycott the games, we need more people to keep turning up? this is completely nonsensical. Go if you want but this argument is beyond weak. It makes perfect sense, don't be so obstinate Take it the logical conclusion - what's better, a stadium full of people who are an organisable group with a long-standing relationship with a club that a lot of their life revolves around, or a stadium full of people who turn up and sing 'Newcastle, Newcastle, Newcastle...' and go home, and turn up in 2 weeks time and just read what gets printed in the Chronicle and believe that we're a club that can never compete? It doesn't make any sense at all, I'm not being obstinate. Your positing complete fantasy scenarios. The fact is those "stadium full of people" haven't done ANYTHING so far have they? To suggest its better to have people in the ground is complete rubbish, sorry to break it to you. You even said yourself they wont stop going, so a few chants against ashely, yeah that'll do it. Sure he'll be selling it straight away. As i said before, why on earth would anyone who as you say "their live revolves around the club" want to give money to someone who is destroying it. There is no way that people who are day trippers stick around if crowds drop to 30k or under. Absolutely no chance. I don't think you're seeing my point. A protest is not singing a few anti-Ashley chants, it's boycotts, banners, sit-outs, sit-ins. You can't organise that with casual fans. Maybe you're right and there's just not enough people left in the match-going fanbase to form a collective group now so my point is moot and hindsight is always 20/20. I disagree with the money going into his pocket aspect, it really is less than pennies to Mike Ashley. I daresay if the attendance gets so low he'll do what Sunderland did and give away free tickets - he wants the stadium plastered in SD advertising with crowds behind all the hoardings. The damage is done to him via negative association of Newcastle United to Sports Direct. He won't want his brand associated with a toxic advertising vehicle. I daresay he could do entirely without any gate receipts and have a stadium full of free-ticketers and he'd still be absolutely net quids-in with balanced with the benefit the SD exposure gets.

As the crowds get smaller, people join the exodus. I’ve seen it first hand on a much much smaller scale, but it works. It’ll take a few years though. Another 10? I'll might be 6 feet under by then...
