  1. LOL at Williamson trying to keep up with Chadli Like a cement mixer racing a Ferrari
  2. Don't know why but I can't stand that 1st Team patch Carver has on his jacket, just screams of insecurity to me.
  3. We're starting a Premier League game with John Carver in charge. Anything that happens on the pitch is automatically less embarrassing.
  4. Deserved (not for Spurs, they've been shit, but for those fans in the ground)

  7. It's more of a statement to stay away if you've already paid as well. Ashley is going to be sweating the more people who stay away even though it costs them money. Definitely. Embarrassing as hell if you think about it. Like going out to dinner, ordering an entree that comes out cold, undercooked, and with a stray hair on it and saying, "Well, shit, I've already paid for it, so I've got to go ahead and finish it all."
  8. It's a race to the bottom! Cheap seats, shit football, lap it up! Why watch one great match at £35 when you can watch 7 terrible ones for £5 each??
  9. What is supporting the team? How many of these players have shown real interest in representing Newcastle United? How many appear to be bothered by the current situation? What's better for the long-term outlook of this club - a huge crowd of muted supporters watching a drab match, as we've seen throughout this season, or massive swaths of empty seats and a protest outside to make it clear that the current aimless path is unsustainable?

    The idea of supporters not showing up to a match is less about costing Ashley money and more a powerful gesture of dissent. If you strictly look at it in financial terms, none of the Premier League teams NEED supporters to show up on a regular basis. The television revenue streams are so large that they essentially obviate the fans. However, like the studio audience for a television show, the fans will always be an essential part of marketing and presentation. That's where this matters a great deal. If Newcastle United play a match televised worldwide in front of a half-empty SJP, many people will begin to wonder why. Moreover, the televised pictures with Wonga and Sports Direct logos will be tainted by the fact that there will be obvious swaths of empty seats and sections. It's why if the fans truly didn't show up for a match, it would indeed force action -- not because of financial problems, but because of horrible public relations/marketing. It's pretty simple. Ask yourself - why are you going? Why do you go? To support Newcastle United? I'd argue that, at this point, any attendance at a club-sanctioned event is a vote of confidence to the current regime. And that vote of confidence only ensures that nothing will change. You're supporting a club that has made it abundantly clear, time and time again, through both words and actions, they do not care about winning and they certainly don't care about the city/region. Just try it. Try not going. Try not watching. Turn away from the withered husk that this club has become. It's truly the only way to save it.

    This one certainly applies to us: http://s27.postimg.org/plpdte5hr/bullshit_rodeo.jpg%5D
  12. Jonas seems like such a fabulous guy. Awful to think how the club treated him at his life's lowest point. And not to pay for his medical treatment... It's somehow even more of a slap in the face how the club has tried to share the obvious goodwill being shown to Jonas after treating him like shit. We are an abhorrent club.

    Just noticed we average the fewest number of offsides per game by a large margin. Ordinarily you'd be pleased to avoid being caught offside but it so clear that the tactics we employ are so stilted (and our players so neutered and/or apathetic) we've stopped even making attacking runs that would end up offside. 1 West Ham 66 2 Everton 66 3 Southampton 63 4 Manchester City 63 5 Liverpool 60 6 Swansea 60 7 Manchester United 59 8 Chelsea 58 9 Sunderland 55 10 Stoke 53 11 Crystal Palace 53 12 Aston Villa 52 13 Queens Park Rangers 52 14 Burnley 50 15 Hull 50 16 West Bromwich Albion 49 17 Tottenham 47 18 Arsenal 46 19 Leicester 39 20 Newcastle United 28

Heard a few of the lads say that about me the other day at training. They said it quiet, like, kind of giggled, must not have wanted me to know how much they respect me. Anyway, Bolasie is an top drawer dickface, er dickhead."

  18. I bet this is one amazing halftime team talk by the barely literate head coach.
  19. Of course players don't look bothered. They're being managed by a weathered old idiot and playing for a club with no ambition to do anything.
