  1. He'll definitely get a ban despite me thinking at the time it was an innocuous collision. Mind you, I may have previous for bias toward our men. [emoji23]
  2. They thought he should have been playing for England last season to be fair [emoji1]
  3. They're trying to make something of that. Fuck all in it at all.
  4. It sounds more like the final chapter of said quotes if am honest. I've never been really impressed with Rafa on the pitch but the job he did off it was sensational and felt like we had the right leader to bring the club out of its coma. But he's over played his hand this summer and has sucked any momentum we've worked for over the last year. I suppose he gave it so he can take it away, just wish he found another way to get what he wants (or try to) as it hasn't worked. I thought he was a class above all this and would have other way to unite the club including the board rather than basically sulk, moan and threaten his position in the press. What other way? Ashley has yet again undermined a manager, this is exactly the way Rafa has gone about it elsewhere. He sought every possible assurance that he was going to get backing each time he's committed himself to the club and it's been ripped away from him, just as everyone feared. I couldn't give a shit what Rafa does right now, there's no uniting the club if Ashley is going to stubbornly remain a charlatan little pissant. This mess isn't going to go away if Rafa pretends to play all nice to the cameras and even if it would, why should he? This is it. The only managers he hasn't undermined are the ones who are shite/ have no affinity with the fans. He knows exactly what he's doing because he's done it 3 times already.
  5. Ashley only looks after the cunt managers
  6. Anyone who gets into the fan's hearts becomes a target for Ashley to treat like shite. Rafa had made me invest emotionally in the club again. When he goes I'm done until Ashley fucks off. The man is a fucking cancer. Ashley that is.
  7. Michael Martin is a right c*** but that article is true in every word. As was said in that piece, things have been bad in the past but the difference now is that the person running the club isn't even trying to make the club successful. I wasn't around for the McKeag years and I've been unable to read too much about it apart from a snippet from the book Touching Distance. Only thing I know are best players sold for the building of a new stand, stadium in awful condition, s*** team, crowds of mostly <17,000, how different were those years to now? My dad went to games in that period and he still goes now, but he never really talks of it. Although young myself back then, they sure were awful times. The ground was old and crumbling. As a kid i remember the old leazes end being demolished and they intended to build a new stand and join it with the East stand. We got relegated. They got as far as building a small terrace with a wall behind it then the work had to stop as we were skint. IIRC what is now the Milburn stand had to be replaced after the Bradford fire. It had wooden floors and seats and really was a danger. Now we have the stadium, crowds, everything in place, just no ambition. So McKeag actually was just skint? Was he as much of a vile b****** as Ashley? My era mate and i was a kid back then and football so so much more simple back then (old git mode ) .we were s*** but tbh the fans were behind the team then now i think with the passion and to answer your question about Mckeag well i think he cared but greed took over but looking back i really enjoyed home and away with my mates . Goes to show the way football's changed in the modern day. Absolute minging circumstances the club was in, crumbling stadium, shite team, relegations, yet fans like yourselves were still enjoying following the team. I've still got that enjoyment of following Newcastle to be sapped from me being a younger supporter (although they are doing their best to rid me of it right now, cheers Mike) but can completely understand other people's complete loss of enthusiam for the club and/or football in general. must be an age thing and for me i think my friends who support the toon it is slowly being kicked out of us and all we need is a bit of hope and when we get it (Rafa) it is pulled away from us again and the romance of the cups is dead till fat cunt goes I don't know, from memory we were more vocally hostile to McKeag at games than today. Fairly sure we were the originators of the Sack the Board chant that became commonplace for poorly ran clubs thereafter.
  8. A. charney quoted in annual account that the loss of central distributed revenue after relegation is 30m. I believe the so called central distributed revenue includes prize money, tv broadcast revenue and parachute payment. Bit odd if it's not the case. B. We just receive it once as we promoted back immediately. No more 40m this summer. I don't wish to appear pedantic, however ,90 million more than offsets 40 million like
