  1. I've got blisters on my fingers with keep checking in on this site to see if there is anything happening transfers/ sale of club just anything. Really I should know better because like in the past, sod all will happen or certainly nothing positive. HTT was bang on when he said that the club no longer has supporters, it has customers.
  2. He's a lot safer than Walker at Man City
  3. It''l be Steve Bruce next, a geordie to appease the followers and what a disaster that will be. The guy is out of his depth in the Championship let alone the Prem. When he fails Ashley will say that he was the fans choice
  4. Been supporting this club for over 65 years now and seen a few highs and lows but the current situation is without doubt the worst and most frustrating period ever. It makes it worse knowing what we could be, we have a top manager, lots of money coming in because we are in what has been described as the best league in the world. But we also have Ashley. A none football man who is a successful barrow boy. Noting seems to be planned or structured, he just does everything off the cuff seeking to squeeze every drop for himself. As a football club we have been left behind from the progression of the premier league and it's the price we are paying for 11 years of zero investment. The only way is for NOBODY to go to matches or spend money to feed Sports Direct but we know that will never happen. I know how difficult it is for fans to give up the love of their life in NUFC. I can't get to games now (was there for the Fairs Cup and followed them all around the country in the year we lost to Liverpool in the FA cup) but I still watch every game online or on TV because I can't not do it. It's in the blood and a lot of people could never understand how it feels. I just despair
  5. That save from Shaquari's free kick yesterday was world class
  6. I thought we played well for the first hour. Good news is another week or so and our new signings will arrive
  7. Dreading this, don't think I'll be brave enough to watch it

    José Mourinho

    Always liked to bully players and people but with todays mega rich players it doesn't work. I remember an interview with Sir Bobby and he was asked what had changed the most in the modern game. He replied 'Without doubt the money, I mean how do you make a rich man sweat?'
  9. Maybe Ranieri isn't keen on Mitro either, rumoured to be after Slimani from Leicester
  10. Lascelles is an old fashioned type of centre half and he has his strengths and weakness. To compare him with Schar or Fernandez is a bit unfair because they are totally different types of players. It's really a case of Rafa selecting the players most suited to his setup and who the opposition happen to be
  11. Yedlin has become progressively more reckless in recent games

    Jacob Murphy

    The way he took his goal at Man City tells me there's some class in this lad
  13. Thought we had our max of loan players?
  14. Trying not to get excited but it's bloody difficult. Hope it is Kenyon because I think he was very instrumental in developing the commercial side at Chelsea.. Ha can probably see beyond having SD boards around the ground
  15. Perez just has no impact on the game. It's no good saying our defense was poor, the problem is our attack (I couldn't think of another word} constantly breaks down and so we are always defending

    Alan Shearer

    He was the best defender of corners as well and Rondon is proving effective in the same area
  17. Could get tinkered by tinkerman
  18. Ashley will back him with every penny available............after he's bought HoS, Evans, Debenhams etc
  19. Fancy Hughes will go this week to replaced by one of the dynamic duo, Sam or Moyes. If any of those 2 were a half as good as they think they are they would be world beaters. All the money in the PL and yet these 2 keep on getting employed.
  20. Can't see why everyone is getting upset over this. We are no longer a football club as was in years gone by. MA has no interest in the footballing side it is just a necessary part of the business. It is a means to an end and that end is Mike Ashley's pockets. We are a business owned by MA who just happens to be Lascelles boss. Lascelles job is to play football to the best of his ability which I think he does and gets paid a decent whack. He has no influence whatsoever over what MA does or doesn't do so why stick his head above the parapet. I remember when I was working and had a grievance and I was advised 'Never try to take on your boss because you will lose' and that was good advice.
  21. If everyone came together is not necessarily directed just at the fans, he could well be pointing the finger at Ashley and co, Rafa, the players and the fans. I would be a lot easier for all concerned if there was some transparency and honesty from Ashley
