Unbelievable

A firm 6. No signings and a bad result at home to the mackems could seal our faith..

Kinnear out

we score!

shit

Hope not!

Bassong injured..

Turn left

Yes, similarly to Owen there was not even contact.. He tried to play a pass and just crumbled down in pain..

Dear oh dear.. Our better players are made of glass..

Ref had a good view on it too..

Bugger, good pen shout..

You have seen the magic JFK halftime speech effect have you..?

He can't even afford a coat these days man.. Boo fucking boo..

shit

A couple!? I can see the ball freakily deflecting in the net from his arse maybe once, but certainly not multiple times..

Van der Sar sets the record for most time without conceding a goal..

1-0 Villa.. Heskey..

2-0 Defoe..

Is that a given?

Did you just sprout ovaries and start squatting to piss? "Leave Gabby alone .. " Zitty teen goes internet hardman... Good on you!

I don't care what you all say, it's a good read and it describes pretty well how a lot of fans must be feeling at the moment. Supporting Newcastle United used to be fun, now it's more like a drain..

How so? Because the club would have gone into administration if Ashley hadn't said he would keep financing the club it is that bad and even without spending money on transfers the club is still not making a profit, how much more do you want the financial state of the club to be pointed out? Yet people chirp up about how much better we would have been if Shepherd was still here showing ambition by borrowing more money to try and move us up the league, do these people have no grasp on reality? You're such a drama queen. The actual loss in terms of money gone out of the bank account is negligeable (next year when Owen won't be around and will be replaced by someone cheaper we will probably make a profit based on losing his salary alone) and certainly doesn't justify jeopardising our long term future by gambling on the perception that we are too big to go down.

How so?

He's paid the debt off. as a loan As opposed to doing what? Genuine question. as opposed to 'putting his hand in his pocket to pay off the debt' something for which most on here praised him. for over a year. probably repeated a thousand times over. people thought that, dont try and reinvent the past to make it look like everyone thought it was a loan from the start. im not criticising Ashley for it but at the same time im not going to praise him as, thus far, we've not had the knock-on effect of the money freed up being used to make us better. He did put his hand into his pocket. The club is his. The holding company is his. The 'loan' is just a technicality. It would be different if were a PLC and he only owned a part because that would be a genuine loan but this is not the same. This is just him putting money from his other accounts into this account which can be equated to him putting money into the club. The key point is also that he has not collected any interest payments for it, so it is just like giving money to the club. I don't know how you can twist it to say something else. You can say that if we get sold, then presumably this money will be included in the price of the club and Ashley will recover it, but right now, he's 'given' us £70m to pay off the debt and sunk a further £30m in to help us get closer to breaking even, which we're still far away from doing. He is entitled to the interest though, and he can claim it whenever he sees fit including for periods in the past he hasn't claimed it for (with interest on top of interest I presume) is the way it has been explained earlier in the thread. Him not taking up the interest now is another technicality that doesn´t mean very much in the real world, just like this "20 million loss" and the "loan" itself.. It seems there are lies, statistics and then financial accounting..

Put it this way; will next year's accounts showing a tidy "profit" of a couple of million be any consolation when we've just lost another Championship match home to Preston North End?
