I don't. You wouldn't though, you lap up every bit of shit the club peddles.

We've won one friendly and he can't help himself. He's a horrible bastard on every level.

Hes in the club unofficial mouthpiece saying how Ashley has proven us all wrong by splashing the cash.

The prick was on the radio talking about us pushing for the CL during the coming season, I hope Ashley is listening and holds him to it.

I'm still delighted that I'll not be wasting my time this season. I'll be amazed if I can't think of anything better to do.

If we're relying on his tactics we're screwed.

Agreed, his correct title should be "Wor Jackie."

I'm amazed that some people are dwelling on the possibility that Ben Arfa may or may not have come back over weight. Even if he has, it's no reason to strip him of a squad number, stick him with the reserves and not take him to New Zealand, along with Marveuax who seems to have done everything right. Pardew and the club are making it look as if the player has caused his own disciplinary problems through being over weight because that's what they do, it's bullshit and it shouldn't be swallowed.

More than £10.5k raised between the 2 donation pages which is unbelievable.

I feel genuinely sorry for anybody who knew any of the passengers on that plane, especially the lads going to the match. I can't comprehend what would drive somebody to travel to the other side of the planet to watch us in a friendly.

Early Friday morning, I think.

I think.

Give over.

It was meant as a joke.

Aye, still sad mackem bastards though.

It's money paid.

The Mackems have been brilliant, they should be proud of what they are doing, it's totally unexpected.

Barry Sweeney said he was "hurt" to have learned the news from the Newcastle United Fan Club website, after spending all Thursday night trying to get through on "emergency lines". Liam Sweeney was travelling with friend John Alder, in his 60s, to see Newcastle United's pre-season tour in New Zealand when the disaster occurred. The 28-year-old would have been known to many fans during his time volunteering as a steward on supporters' buses to away games. Asked how he found out, his father told The BBC: "On the NUFC.com, it had on 'sorry to hear about Liam and John'. "I was hurt because I think we should've known. I tried to go through the legal way, ringing all the emergency lines or whatever. "I just tried to keep at it all night hoping, to be honest with you, that one of these nine Britons wasn't my son. "Horrible for somebody else, but you tend to think of your own when something's happened. "Probably rather it was me sitting on the plane and not him, because he was only 28. "I'm finding it hard to grieve at the moment, because, I don't mind speaking to everybody because everybody wants to know what a great lad he was. "I just want everybody to know what a tremendous bloke he is." Mr Sweeney said his wife, who is suffering from a terminal illness "cannot bear it". He is unable to travel to Amsterdam because his passport has expired but said "I would if I could". Later, he intends to visit St James Park, the home of Newcastle Football Club, to "be a proud dad". He added that he had been following the news about the Ukraine crisis but was not aware planes were flying over the region. "What you've got to hope is that the Government is getting together to stop it happening again."

The dad said he wanted to be interviewed so that everybody would know how good his son was, he might feel better as he can't do anything for his kid anymore.

Christ, it seems the family found out about the younger lad by reading about it on a website.

Words fail me, RIP lads.

Who said he was going to be shite?

I stopped reading at the bollocks in bold.

It's far too early to make that claim.

It's fairly easy to claim Debuchy only signed because of Cabaye and that was probably true, what's also true is that he would have stayed if we'd shown ambition and that is never going to happen.
