Wish they'd would stop calling him Karlo Darlow.

So the same as if Joselu were there, then?

Why the fuck would anyone let a man who cannot kick a football take a penalty? I'd seriously rather have seen Dummett step up. So fucking clear that it was going to be a shit effort.

Got sent off the plane

Really? He's been completely frozen out and you don't think that's his fault? Well, this report of him doing the bare minimum is after being frozen out, not before. If I were told by my employer that they didn't want me and that I had to go work in a separate office because they didn't think I had anything useful to contribute, then maybe I'd do the bare minimum too. Maybe I'd work my socks off and try to prove them wrong, I don't know. But again, it's kinda hard to blame him for saying "stuff this" and just dialling it in every day if he's been told he's not wanted or welcome.

To be honest, I struggle to blame him at all. If I were told I could earn £70k doing nothing or £25k playing football every week, I know which I'd do. Anyone claiming otherwise is quite frankly a liar. And I'd quite happily explain that to my kids too. The whole family benefits from this ultimately. None of that changes him being an utter waste of space who should never be allowed anywhere near the pitch ever again though. But the contract isn't his fault and I don't blame him for making us honour it.

Harsh on sand. Sand has many very real and genuine uses

They just as a likely point to Ashley being a cheap b****** and doing just above the bare minimum to stay up. Plus the £100m or whatever tv money kicking in next season means we can buy outright in the summer. Yeah, because prices won't go up one bit once that happens....

What a time to be alive.

I've not stopped watching, but I've stopped financially contributing (ie Sky, matchday tickets, merchandise) and I've stopped allowing anything negative to adversely affect my life. I'll always care on some level, you're born with that and it can't ever truly go, not for me, but I'm done letting these charlatans constantly ruin my weekend / January / Summer and I refuse to put money in their pockets for the privilege of having them do it.

No players and selling a Merino would be the final straw for me - more significantly, I expect it would be for Rafa too. After over a decade of this, how can anyone still require a "final straw"? What next, the final final straw? The very last straw? The absolute very last chance?

Quite the reverse - It'll give them loads of confidence because they know there's no chance they'll ever be replaced. Well, I say confidence. Maybe I mean complacency.

If we sign nobody else of note, Rafa should walk. If actually think less if him if he stayed. Leave that fat slug to deal with the problem he's created, consign us to relegation and cost him a ton of cash. It'd serve him right of that's what happens.

"Spend whatever it takes... provided it's less than this pile of buttons"

Bordering? We've finally got a genuinely world-class manager who could take us places, and we've refused to back him in 3 successive transfer windows. If it were any other club, I'd say it's incomprehensible. But it's us, so I doubt anyone is remotely surprised.

#Wait

Fixed

We tried.

It'll be an honour watching him turn out for West Brom or Palace when we just couldn't get him over the line and he goes there instead.

Feyenoord should just completely ignore any bids that don't meet their asking price, refuse to even respond to them. Then after the deadline passes, tell everyone that no bids were ever on the table or under consideration. That's how negotiations work, right?

Whilst we can surely afford £1.5m loan fee, the £150k/week wages might be a little more of a problem.

Got to finish the monitoring first

Your mad you, after 10 years af $shley you still have hope he may actually run the club correctly !!!! Surely it should be A$h£€y or something like that? Swapping the A for $ doesn't make any sense at all to me ₼$h₺€¥, imo 10/10 for effort. Just way to much dingbats effort involved there. Although dingbats is a perfect match for the fat c***. Just copy and paste it now.

"spend whatever it takes to keep Newcastle up". What a time to be alive.

This cunt has to go now. Nicely set up for someone to say "Harsh on Disco". Unless nobody thinks it is, of course.
