Personally I'm of the opinion that it won't really harm the pyramid, rather than "wanting to see the Premier League get richer at the expense of the English pyramid"

They know where the/a ground is. If you want to see a concert, buy a ticket. If you want to see a film, buy a ticket. Why should football be any different? Not everything needs beaming into living rooms for the benefit of the lazy and the spoilt. your comparison is really really terrible given the way in which the vast majority of music is enjoyed. Nowt to do with lazy or spoilt anyway, it's about enjoying a sport and/or a team, and wanting to be able to watch it, without the massive restrictions involved in actually attending a game.

People who want to watch football?

How many pubs show 3PM PL games? How many clubs show 3PM football league games? None of which are the same as your living room. They're not the same as your living room but they're a damn sight easier/more comfortable than a lower league football stadium.

I'm pretty sure a lot of people who are going to lower league games could quite easily watch a 3PM Premier League match at a pub if they were so inclined. I think the lower league damage train left the station about 20 years ago.

Honestly. There isn't a single subject in the world you have a sensible opinion on. Get the fuck out. It's Christmas time. A season of goodwill. Goodwill is not something that can exist while you pollute these boards with your endless nonsensery.

what an original concept

Massive gig. Would never have a top 4 or top 6 team in the PL do something like that. Sherwood at Spurs? At least Sherwood had experience in the league and had played & worked for the team in question. Gary Neville has no ties whatsoever to Valencia, and never played in Spain. Seems mental. He doesn't even have very much coaching experience either.

It's national man. 90% of the people voting will be taking the piss.

Sad John Carver = shit Smiley John Carver > Jurgen Klopp JHFC

I assume it's - if every shot on target they've had against them was actually a goal, they'd still be top of the league. Not *quite* the same as if they didn't play a keeper, but Towelie likes rattling cages.

It doesn't matter if you have sky or not lads Some marras just fancy gan to the game with their mates man. Few pints of carling, couple of balti pies, happiness achieved. It's a guaranteed lovely weekend, no matter how many goals we ship to Leicester City and the legendary Jamie Vardy.

can't believe people are actually responding to such a facetious point about having a sky subscription like. But I am glad so many people had nice weekends. Personally I got a lot done around the house. Painted some railings that were in need of care, which wasn't all that fun but the end result was most satisfying.

Aye hopefully it's just the start of a giant downward spiral that results in Palace getting relegated and Pardew getting beaten to death.

As much as I'd love for them to be fucking shite, they beat Liverpool and drew with Man Utd in that stretch. They lost to (top of the league!) Leicester and moderately decent West Ham.

Yes. That is exactly the same. Cheers for helping make a change Enjoy the era of Mike.

Aye, they're the ones who complain about the people who still go because the people who still go didn't listen to them when they demanded everyone stop going just coz they'd decided not to go anymore and are now pissed off because they didn't follow their commands. Aye marra, its coz others didnt follow, not coz theyre responsible for handing over hundreds of pounds to the man who is absolutely destroying any form of identity or purpose the club ever had.

Spot on! It's not spot on It's "not a choice I have to make", as if I couldn't possibly imagine what such a decision would entail?! It's really not all that complex like. I can just as easily play my own card on this one - given I get to come to Newcastle once a year at best, and there have been a handful of times where I could've gone to a game, including big games vs Man Utd, yet I haven't. And it wasn't exactly a difficult decision. Hand over money to this NUFC and Mike Ashley? No chance.

We've had this discussion about 100 times. I am fully aware of your line of thought on the matter. I just don't agree with it, and I think you're a pleb for paying him the money. Let another pleb pay him instead. Maybe one day the plebs will drop off. Who knows. Either way, NUFC is fucked, but you're not facilitating it.

(So basically someone needs to kill Mike Ashley. Bagsy not me.)

Your sole voice in the ground is doing nothing because the majority of fans are content with this existence. Or indifferent enough to not say anything. The fan base has changed. They're spineless, and there's nowt you can do by going to each game and shouting on your own. Stop paying him and find something else to do with your time, you pleb. And whether I live in the area or not is irrelevant, at no point have I said "I stopped going each week because of Mike Ashley" I just think that everyone who is going now, shouldn't be. There is absolutely no reason to attend SJP until there is some group effort to achieve something, and tbh, I don't think that day will ever come.

I'm just pig sick of seeing arrogant twats pat each other on the back and label vast swathes of our support 'thicko cunts', as admirable a stance as your non-attendance from 'Murica is. Have personally packed it in this season, but a large percentage of people who continue to go were there watching Keegan's and Robson's teams, and will be there long after you've given up. As for facilitating the demise of the club, get a grip man. They are literally handing over their money to the man responsible for ruining our club. How can it be anything else? ASHLEY OUT Please take my £500 50,000 plebs.

Aye, must support random thicko cunts purely because they support the same football club as you. Doesn't matter if they're facilitating the demise of said football club.

Yeah, no one deserves it, they're just loyal fans hoping to see their club do well, and getting s*** on in the process. I don't mean that to be honest. I mean that giving up on the club i.e. not protesting etc. and bothering because other fans have pissed you off just means that you won't ever get a proper club back. Personally I don't think we will get a proper club back while there are that many absolute fuckwits facilitating Ashley's miserable business plan. Absolutely no excuses for going to the game nowadays. Don't care if you've got a little kid, or a 200 year old dad who might not make the next game, every single penny that goes into the club is another nail in the coffin. and tbh, if kids are your justification, then you should be the one putting up the most fight, unless you want them to suffer a lifetime of this shit. Or perhaps 10 years of this shit until he's milked us dry, followed by a lifetime in the doldrums.

"Maybe a little lucky Jamie Vardy there, I've got him a fraction offside" He was clearly fucking off man, you twat.
