My season ticket for this season is paid for, they will take a payment in February for next season, I think.

No, they might get one more payment from me but it doesn't matter because it has nothing to do with the money anyway.

I've just sent this: Supporters No: XXXXXXXX Seat No: XXXXXXXX To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to let you know that I wish to cancel my season ticket from the start of next season, season 2014/15. I no longer wish to do anything which makes it look as if I am backing an owner of my football club who has no ambition other than to avoid relegation and go out of cup competitions as the earliest possible opportunity. I no longer wish to appear to support a Director of Football who openly lies to people by claiming that no player will leave the club only for two players to leave, one who has since claimed that he had an agreement with the club to leave. I no longer wish to appear to support a manager of the club who is poor at his job and can only be employed because he is a mouth piece for our unambitious owner and board of directors who have openly admitted that we are not interested in competing as a football club. You have employed a manager who goes out of his way to constantly tell us that we can’t compete with clubs like Swansea and Southampton when it comes to incoming transfers. He has done a brilliant job at that and I now fully understand that and accept it, therefore I will no longer waste my time supporting a club who can’t compete with those clubs After decades of watching Newcastle United fail to match the hopes (not expectations) of the people who have supported the club, I have decided that I can no longer back the football club with my time or money and I will not return while our current owner remains at the club. This decision has nothing to do with the cost of attending and has everything to do with being unwilling to support a club which does not strive to improve. A club which treats it’s loyal supporters as if they were customers of a tacky sports outlet. Yours Faithfully XXXXXXXX

We rarely compete over 90 minutes anyway.

The whole idea of a season ticket for the club is so that they know how much they are going to have coming in and use it to plan. It gives them an amount of forward planning and depending how you pay, money up front, or at least a guaranteed income. I pay at a certain date in the month and they know that they will get that money, even if I don't go to a game.

It's not publicised enough, clearly.

Why do you even ask?

Outside of Newcastle and the surrounding area, they don't. Maybe they dislike zero hour contracts which he uses, maybe they dislike kids being born in his warehouse at 11pm on New Years day and maybe they dislike child labour manufacturing his shitty products?

Anti SD banners wouldn't last 2 minutes in the ground.

Damaging his brand would be a nightmare for him, I'm not sure we're capable of that though.

We are partially to blame though.

We lost Cabaye just before the Norwich game so Pardew didn't have time to change anything, a bit like when we lost Ba and he played the way he was going to, even without him. Against the mackems he has a new game-plan to work on and the best he can come up with is to hoof it. Without Cabaye against Norwich we play decent football because he doesn't have time to change anything, against the mackems when he's starting fresh we hoof the ball and get rid of it as if it was a bomb ready to go off. Losing Cabaye is not the reason for the hoofing as we've already seen, the tactically inept dinosaur of a manager is 100% responsible for that.

The idiots who sing for Shola and sing for Pardew are partially to blame, singing for those two takes the pressure off the club to do anything about them. We don't need to replace either because the fans love them.

I've just checked how we've done in 4 1/2 seasons and we've turned 56 deficits at half time into 12 draws.

No, QPR at home just before Christmas in 2012.

2006 since we've been behind in the Premiership at half time and won. Does anyone know how common it is generally, out of interest? If you can be bothered this might help, select seasons and stats. http://www.soccerstats.com/table.asp?league=england&tid=i

That was in 2006, I can't remember the half time score.

2006 since we've been behind in the Premiership at half time and won.

3-0 isn't a close game. It was closer than 4-0.

30 league appearances without a goal.

You've defended him up to now and today was only another loss on top of the previous two so Tron is correct.

I'm fairly sure he'd sell up as quick as he could if we lost £24 million, yes.

Whose fault was it that we didn't play the type of balls to Shola that you think he needed?

Against Norwich we scored nowt, today we scored nowt.
