at some point, he just realized that this club had no future and quite simply stopped giving a f*** because he knew he wouldn't be sticking around for the long term. As people have said, there is a good player in there somewhere. He just needed to adapt to the English game and that wasn't going to happen while he was counting down the days till he returned to the land of calamari sandwiches. Should have a fine, long career back in Spain. f***ing asshole.

He's been playing top-flight football since age 18 and has a high opinion of his own abilities. Under no condition will he ever play for a side in the second division.

It's four PM and I can barely see in front of me.

I think Lovenkrands would be one of the best strikers in the Championship and I'd love for us to hand him a new contract, despite how s*** he's bene today. To be frank, Shearer should have played him up front or not at all.

I'll be taking up that offer in August. 99%.

honestly out of the three relegated teams we're the least well equipped for promotion. It all depends on how well we are able to leverage our position as the biggest club in the league in the summer. Given who our owner is, I'm not holding out much hope.

No games on TV anymore. Ever. ...yeah, not at all pleased.

When I think about it, I really don't care if there are gloryseekers who support us. I don't care when and why people start supporting us. They're supporters, so we've all got that in common. Who cares if they started supporting us when we were good? However, on another level, I'll be glad that those people who support us and watch football because all their mates do, will stop. I'm sure this forum will lose a few members and it might be for the better. St James' will lose a few people but I bet those who go are those who care. Who knows, with the prices bound to drop, we might get some real fans in. We might get some noise. It won't be fashionable to watch and support us anymore. Anyone who does it from today will do it because they care. yes, it'll be great when our commercial income plummets. it is not just about fans deserting, you have to think about fans as a fluid entity, some leaving for various reasons (losing interest, dying, moving away, not having access to the club on the telly etc) and others being added for various reasons. next season because we're not in the premiership we will add close to zero new fans and lose a huge amount. It's really quite simple, in the eyes of foreigners, Newcastle was a big club until 30 minutes ago. Now it's on par with the Sunderlands, West Broms, and Wolves. Of course there are people like those who post on these forums, who will follow the club no matter what despite their geographical displacement. But for a lot of people relegation to the Championship means they'll simply lose interest in the club, and while you may deride them as fair-weather supporters, they make a valuable contribution to the club's commercial income, as well as raising the club's global profile. Unless the club acts quickly to keep overseas supporters on board, I expect that there will be a huge dropoff. I'm one of the administrators on the Korean Newcastle Supporters Club and I wouldn't be surprised if we lose half our membership within the next year. If we stay in the Championship for more than a year, our site might just cease to exist.

Now that this is all done, I've just realized that I'm stone drunk at 1pm int he afternoon. Ah, whatever... Life goes on.

I don't think I'll be capable of watching football for another several months.

Well, I suppose it's a good thing that I'm enlisting in the Air Force this september. Hopefully we'll be well on our way back up by the time I'm out of basic training. ...that was an utter fail attempt at trying to be positive.

no requests are needed. They can all go.

They don't deserve tears. They didn't break a f***ing sweat. I'm crying for my club, not for the fucking useless cunts who deserve to be drawn and quartered on the pitch for all to watch.

for most of my life I've lived in a sports culture where the concept of relegation does not exist. If you have a shit season you get a high draft pick. Hoorah for being rewarded for failure! Even when I started supporting Newcastle 5 years ago, relegation never seemed like a realistic possibility, I never, ever thought it would happen to us. Relegation was something that happened to shit clubs like West Brom or Sunderland, surely never to Newcastle United! I literally just do not have the emotional capacity to process this. I don't know how to feel. I'm crying right now and I wish I had somebody around to talk to other than cunt friends who support Man U and who will never, ever understand how this feels.

I literally do not have the emotional capacity to respond to this. Tears is all I can offer.

maybe it's the Gin.. just can't stop the tears. Oh God...

I'm alone in my room so I don't need to take this with dignity. I'm going to cry like a fucking baby. In fact, I've already started.

and one wrongfully disallowed. Whatever, we deserve to be shot straight down to the Conference for today's preformance alone.

This is the worst 90 minutes of football I've ever been subject to. I honestly wish I was emotionally capable of just switching my support over to Man U or something. This fucking shit owner, these fucking shit players, absolutely do not deserve my support. What they deserve is to be drawn and quartered.

YOU FUCKING COWARDS LETS AT LEAST SEE A FUCKING SHOT ON GOAL.

Why couldn't I have been a fucking glory hunting Man U supporter like every other fucking person within a 100 mile radius. Why.

which set of supporters is singing "your support is fucking shit?" because either way it's fucking cringeworthy.

fuck you you shitheads. just fuck you. team bus should just leave without them. leave them to face the fans.

we've not had a single shot in the second half. I'm not even joking. I've counted. This pile of shit doesn't deserve my time, money, and support. Fuck them.

Jesus... relegation... I don't know how to deal with this
