Well, the worst happened. Relegation. Admittedly this isn't going to be easy and the club is at a very low point, however I think we need to move past it now and start preperations for next season. Hearing Shearer after the match broke my heart, it really did. The man cares, he cares so much you could see it was physically hurting him to see us go down, so I don't think that's a chance in hell that anyone else will be in the dugout but Alan Shearer next season. That alone gives me hope. He said it himself, the club needs rebuilding, completely. He knows what needs doing and after hearing the support Shearer still has even after dropping out of the Premier League, Ashley's hand will surley be forced into doing things Wor Al's way. I have hope that next season, with Al in charge, the dead wood that has fucked this club for so long will be finally shipped out. He said himself, he wants players that love this football club. Hungry players that want to play for the shirt not the paycheck. So I say, roll on next season. Let's have a great Championship, remind people that we're Newcastle fucking United and get back to the league stronger than we've been in a long, long time.

Right I'm off now. HOWAY THE LADS!!! WE CAN FUCKING DO THIS!!

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. Going over my dads in 30 minutes for Sunday lunch and to watch this. So nervous.

Being due a goal doesn't mean they will score. Alan Smith is due a goal, but we all know he'll probably never score again.

Honestly think Shearer can give us one last life and scrape a draw against a far superior Villa side.

Really getting nervous now. In less than 24 hours we'll either be crying into our alcohol or grinning into it.

Yep. I've said this for the best part of two years now. It's so frustrating knowing he has the talent but doesn't know how to use it. Well hopefully after a season under Shearer's wing, we'll see a vast improvement.

You have been deemed unworthy. Delete your account and never darken our step again. The Ranger has spoken.

Words cannot do justice to just how disturbing that is.

arsehole of death tbh Maybe so. But he was/is an unbelievably gifted footballer, though. absolute arsehole of death tbh tell the kids This might have been funny had you not posted it a thousand and 1 times.

Tbf the article said that 6 clubs would be doing it. Tbh I'd be a bit more for it if it was a couple of teams in the league banding together against Manure than if it was just us kicking up a fuss.

Didn't know that. Never mind then.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/article2438004.ece Yes I realise the source isn't the most reliable, but I think it raises an interesting topic. Should Manchester United field a less than stellar team (to put it mildly), would we have the right to sue for compensation? It does seem to directly break that rule, but then teams have always rested players, and it's never led to a case being brought against them (at least not to my knowledge). Personally I think we should at least try, if we do go down an extra cash would help counter the massive loss of revenue.

God I hope we trash Villa now, after all the abuse the Mackems gave us sending them down would be bliss.

I think we have to go into the game with the assumtion that Hull will get a draw, and so we have to win. That way when they lose and we stay up with a draw, we'll feel lucky for the first time in a thousand years.

It is really very, very simple. A big club who you wouldn't expect to be in this situation is, well, in this situation, so people scent blood. if it were Man City or Everton or us (for others) or Chelsea, or even Spurs, the reaction would be exactly the same. Football is about lots of things, most of them tribal, and laughing at the misfortune of others is one of the main ones. very good point. i guess if it was spurs or the likes i would be thinking the same had we not been in this position now. knowing how i feel at the minute, i'll never laugh again at a club going down, its probably the worst i have ever felt, and i meant that. agree with your points though, its just the way it is i guess. Exactly what I've been thinking for the past couple of days Yup, never knew how gut wrenching the worry that you might go down is, and how horrible it will feel when it happens. Felt horrible for the WBA fans today, and was sat there thinking "this could be us in a weeks time"

That's assuming we make no signings at all, of course. You dont make signings when you go down mate.. you loose players. That's complete bull. Of course you sell your more established players, but of course even when teams go down they buy replacements for those that they've lost. Not always worse quality as well, just less renowned. If they didn't then half the CCC squads would be down to about 16 players ffs. And another thing, this topic is shit. We aren't down yet and until we are stuff like this is meaningless and isn't helping anything.

Um... so? Really couldn't care less what anyone wears to our matches tbh, doesn't change a thing on the field where it really matters.

Rubbish, when he quit, we'd only played 3 league games, 3 games that had us 4 pts, one point more than most people would've expected, we've played 34 games since then......thats plenty time to get things sorted. Actually you're right. For some reason I had thought that he quit right after the January window. The point however still stands, he quit and as a direct result of that our team fell apart.

Keegan if he had any fucking character, would have waited until the end of the season to quit. Quitting when he did fucked us over big time, and if we go down it's largely down to him.

Won't be online on Sunday. Can't take it in all seriousness. I'd rather find out right before I go to bed, so I can sleep on it and not have to think about it.

Why is everyone talking about Hodgson? I'm sorry but I want to give Wor Al at least a couple of seasons to try and turn us around before we start thinking about switching managers AGAIN.

Fucking go for it. If we defend like fuck and draw, and Hull also draw we'd be gutted we didn't go for the attack. If we have to go down, at least lets give it a good fight.

I still think we have a decent chance of staying up but it has nothing to do with belief. You believe we'll stay up. Which is exactly what I'm talking about...

Schwarzer is a lying twat. Fuck off did you really think it was a foul.
