Didn't say it wasn't an easy decision, said it was a big decision. They're not mutually exclusive.

It's frustrating like but understandable they'd not want to rush into any big decisions too soon. Whatever you think of Bruce, sacking a manager is a big decision.

Having a bit of time away has changed my views on other fans opinions of us, TBH. Don't care. It's really irrelevant what Squires thinks, people like BG, the mackems, etc. Who cares? What matters is what happens on the pitch.

Feels like I’ve never been away.

Aye it's been a while mate, I was holding on when Rafa was here but even then my interest diminished in the latter months when the situation was clear. I completely checked out after that, just got to the point where I have no energy or time to give to a sporting institution which isn't trying to get better. Happy to be back!

See this is where being out of football for years has me confused. Isn't Brendan Rodgers not that great at football management and also a cringey bloke who acts like David Brent and says 'ok?' at the end of every sentence?

Haha, aye, now I remember a bit more! Ta.

It's mint like and really weird. I've not thought about NUFC much at all for years. I've snapped back to my obsessed days pretty quickly though, shocking how quick it's come back. I'm over the moon for my little boy. He's nearly 6, just getting into football, couldn't be better.

Yeah, miserable, condescending, loved Shepherd (who I absolutely hated by that point). 100% correct about Ashley from day 1, though, wasn't he

There was an old dude who warned us over and over and we took the piss out of him for moaning until he went away. What was he called? NE5 or something?

Alreet maaaaaaate!?

aye the wifey I spoke to was sick of her life, I've just signed us up for memberships in the hope that it will help with half season tickets

Yeah I've been on hold now for about 45 mins trying to sort memberships for me and the boy

Blows my mind that anyone could dislike any manager of their club as much as Pardew, TBH. Pardew wasn't just a terrible manager, he was an absolute fucking vampire.

I don't want much, just someone who: keeps us up this season gets the team playing attractive football, eventually can attract and manage superstars doesn't thank themselves when we sign players.

I was there yesterday and I felt absolutely nothing. It'll be a long time before I'm back at SJP.

Kenedy outside Tynemouth Priory this afternoon.

That’s why the @ifrafagoeswego twitter page aren’t helping anyone by tweeting out some of the twitter handles for the famous people who use Keith Bishop as their PR manager. All it does is give Bishop ammo if we are seen to start abusing people that have nothing to do with Ashley. They will use anything to get people to turn against us and we shouldn’t be helping them do it. So fuck, TBH. What difference will 'people turning against us' make? The entire situation needs to be toxic for Ashley, Bishop, etc in order to get him to fuck off. What 'people' do or don't think of NUFC fans won't make the slightest difference.

Always hated him.

Get to fuck. Fuck off

Thing is, Rafa builds a squad, competition for places is vitally important to him getting results. Reviewing transfers in isolation and calling them 'failures' completely ignores this.

Relieved I won't have to look at his shit hair anymore.

Where are the details of the protest on Saturday?
