Yeah it's full of mongs slagging off Ryder the mong for taking the side Llambias the mong! Is there really any need to call people mongs for criticising Ryder's journalism? So what was funny about the comments then? I can only see someone quoting Monty Python and someone do the Coalition of United Newcastle Team Supporters thing, but totally f*** it up by putting "Fans" instead of "Supporters" and also missing out "Team". f*** me, that's hilarious, isn't it!?! So I can only assume that you find it hilarious because people have criticised Ryder's journalism and if you're entitled to find that funny, then I'm entitled to ask the question: "Why, have a load of mongs gone on there and slagged him off?" and it was a question as I hadn't read it beforehand, you could have simply answered: "No, but some of the comments are funny", if that had been the case, but it wasn't was it, some mongs had indeed slagged him off and you'd hoped that everyone would have gone "Oh yes macphisto, we all agree with you those comments are comedy genius.", but that didn't happen and now you've got all upset and offended about my use of a mildly insulting term. Never mind, have a keyring, that'll make everything all better. Yes, I know, how condescending of me, I'm disappointed in myself, I really am. There?s a lot of hysteria in that answer, are you OK? Do you really think I posted so that everyone would have gone "Oh yes macphisto, we all agree with you those comments are comedy genius.",? All I can do is plead guilty to that one. Actually the real reason for posting it is that I did find some of the remarks such as the Monty Python one and for example the reference to Steven Taylor quite humorous together with the whole awkwardness of a blog where people openly disagree with the writer! Very Alan Partridge! Yes I could have responded to your question as "No, but some of the comments are funny" just like you could have responded to my question in a more adult fashion. Maybe it?s just different moral standards but I just find it sad that you call people mongs without first having a look at what they said. You want to be careful that you don?t become what you mock. I?ll give the NUSC keyring a miss as I?m quite happy with my Handala one for now! Fair enough, but you have mistaken hysteria for cynicism and a profound weariness of this whole situation. I'm tired of having to argue against people who are impervious to logic and are driven purely by emotion, who are determined to act, yet have not considered the consequences of their actions, who want the best for the club, but haven't thought about it long enough to know what that is. So given that, you're just going to have to forgive me (or not), if the language I use to describe some of the more extreme members of that group is a little colourful and derogatory. Anyway, do you not find it just a little hypocritical to have a go at me for rudely criticising people that you were lording for doing the exact same thing? I'd be a bit wary of getting up on your high-horse, just at the moment. That?s what being a football supporter is all about. If it wasn?t people wouldn?t fork out large amounts of money to watch 22 blokes kick a ball around in sub zero temperatures, for two hours. You?re whole stance on Ashley is based on the assumption supporters are Vulcans, that they shouldn?t respond to what?s going on at the club in an emotional way. So the emotional nature of football supporting absolves NUSC of the necessity to apply some intelligence to what they are doing, or makes them immune to honest criticism? Vehement abuse, on the other hand, is very much a part of football supporting, so by your own "logic" you should be applauding Indi's ruder utterances.

He didn't leave us in the lurch in 1997, whatever the rights and wrongs of his departure. True enough, i only asked if he was right to do what he did. Interested in what people have to say about this, as the 'man of principle who had no choice but to leave' must have left the last time for the same reasons. I do love a bit of historical revisionism. I guess from my point of view I don't/didn't mind so much if his reasons for leaving us were bollocks back then as he left us in a good situation which he'd built up over several seasons. I cried, soft shite that I am, in 1997. I was just fucking angry this time around. But angry with everyone, not just him. I'm asking people like Robster and many others on here that insist that Keegan had no choice but to leave if thats why he left the last time? Because he was wrong in 1997, history tells us that. Wrong, or lied about his reasons for going.

You and TT keep making excuses for munters who are failing our club. Try using a bit of logic sometime. Pointing out where Keegan is to blame is not making excuses for anyone else. So you blame KK and not ashley? I blame them both, and the fans who immediately went nuclear.

I'm not making excuses for him at all. My argument is that Ashley has had plenty of time to sort us out since then and the only consistency has been his ability to fuck up chance after chance. Try using a bit of logic sometime. Pointing out where Keegan is to blame is not making excuses for anyone else.

Keegan shafted "the club he loves" and is now trying to get £9 million for it and you're all falling over yourselves to make excuses for him. As Toon's Taylor has said, you're like battered wives.

People only say Keegan left us in the s*** because of what went on after. Keegan didn't appoint JFK, Keegan didn't offer him an extended contract, Keegan wasn't the one who decided not to appoint a full-time manager and get on with things. Keegan isn't the one who has tried to gamble our Premiership future by cutting costs and not re-investing in the first team in January when we needed it. No, I was of the opinion that Keegan had left us in the lurch by leaving at the worst possible time, at the time. Keegan, is a principled football man, he wasnt going to stick around ashleys circus, once he found out what they were up to. Are you happy with what they are up to? No. But that doesn't alter the fact that KK left us in the lurch at the worst possible time. When is the best possible time? End of the season. People would have still moaned that we had to spend time looking for a new manager while we should be out getting players. Ashley and his munters have had ample time to steady the ship. Its heading for an epic FAIL. Ashley making bad decisions later does not absolve Keegan of anything. They're both to blame. Fan overreaction to Keegan's departure has been another part of the problem.

Agreed. Me too.

This is where you need a good manager, really, to help them cling on to the fact that they showed they could play a bit and not disgrace themselves against one of the best sides in the world. Cling on to it, keep a bit of pride, and take it into the next game.

I'm not as depressed by the result/performance as I thought I'd be, but this "Raylor" and "Saylor" shit really does my head in.

iirc, it was the same guy that accused Mike Ashley of undermining the Sir Bobby fundraiser. No, I think that was a Michael Ord. They don't seem to have any shortage of spokesmen totally lacking in media savvy.

Source? One of the people who went representing the NUSC. Im aware that it will hardly be believed of course, but ive absolutely no reason to lie and ive never claimed to be "ITK" or anything like that before, I just know someone on the panel. The issue wouldn't be your credibility, but theirs. Sounds a bit paranoid to me, and doesn't seem to square with the timing of Given's transfer request.

Source?

You do realise that you're doing exactly the same as what you're criticising?

The Barley Mow on Duke Street, just south of Oxford Street. That's where I go when I'm in London. Lots of Geordies show up there.

Truth. Not really. They're reporting what happened in the meeting. To report private views expressed afterwards would invite an unholy shitstorm of abuse from the anti-NUSC brigade on account of the amateurish point scoring it would rightly have been viewed as at the expense of a players reputation. So instead they amateurishly decided to score points by mentioning that llambias had been indiscreet. They're not fucking Reuters, they're a supporters club. To expect a BBC level of impartiality is fucking stupid, especially when they're directly opposed to Disco Dekka and his pals in charge. Perhaps you failed to read the comment I was replying to.

By where Matthew Bank meets Jesmond Dene Road, on the Jesmond side. The street where Shepherd lives (Bemersyde Drive) runs along the southern boundary of the grounds. I used to do a paper round in that area. Bemersyde Drive was the worst street of the lot, all these really long garden paths you had to traipse up and down. doesnt freddy live on jesmond park east/west Obviously, I thought he lived on Bemersyde, but of course I could be wrong,

That's more or less what he paid for the club, plus what he's sunk in since in the form of interest-free loans. Loans, fair enough. But I bought lunch for a fiver today, I wouldn't claim the pie and chips now owe me that much. Aye, but now try selling the pie to someone else. Anyway, it's the Mirror that's talking bollocks here, not the club.
