On the other hand, I can't help but be fond of Sir Ricky Sbragia.. "Well there we have it. The pieces are set. The battle lines are drawn. The Mag has chosen his King. His king is insipid and pale. He stinks of mediocrity. LJ has his faults, but he is charismatic and a born leader. Choose your side." https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/all-nufc-and-sportwashing-stuff-in-here-threads-will-be-merged.1562234/post-34887189

He actually claims to have a mate who is a NUFC fan, so I can only imagine that the bitterness comes from that mate giving him hell during the 1990s Keegan era. A lot of them are still scarred by it tbh.

Welcome, Eddie. Please, please...just keep us up. Do that and you will reserve your own special place in NUFC history. Similar to David Kellly for scoring THAT goal against Portsmouth in 1992.

I imagine they cringe every time he posts but stay quiet out of tribal loyalty. He's an embarrassment to their support, to be honest.

Exile isn't keen on Eddie either. "They'll eat him alive after 3 months and he'll deserve it for totally throwing his principles and morals away to work for the murdering bastards. I hope he enjoys spending his blood money. Twat" https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/all-nufc-and-sportwashing-stuff-in-here-threads-will-be-merged.1562234/post-34886983 I'm starting to think Exile needs his own thread on here. I also love the way he shares his anti-NUFC Twitter rants back onto the NUFC thread too, the desperate, needy cunt.

Yep, people are kidding themselves if they think Howe would have come here under Ashley. I don't think he will come now either after what has happened over the last 4 weeks. No manager with integrity & who rates themselves will put up with being seen as such a short term appointment. We are in a real mess and Martinez looks the most likey candidate. Personally I would honestly give it to Keegan now for this season. He still will have enough in his locker to get this lot safe with 6 months to go and money to spend in January.

The more I read of Emery, the less I want him. The guy seems to be made of glass. As for the owners, this doesn't bode well for how they will handle bringing in players in January. There is an almighty learning curve going on at the moment and it looks like time will go against us in the fight to avoid relegation.

They are all piping down a bit, I think. Slowly dawning on them that their momentous internet campaign to get the whole world to hate the Mags as much as they do is quickly falling flat on it's arse.

The bloke is not right in the head. Seriously unhinged.

Exile1968 taking the Emery news with his usual good grace... "He needs to get off to a good start otherwise they'll turn on him. It's what they do and he will have a nervous breakdown if it happens. He was wracked with anxiety at Arsenal and Villareal are like managing Bournemouth. I hope he falls flat on his face for 2 reasons. I hate the Mags and he's obviously got no morals joining the Prince of Darkness at Genocide United."

That's good to hear. To be honest it would be a concern if he didn't speak English. I have no idea how it can work when they don't. Maybe I'm just a dinosaur though.

Does this guy speak English or does he need a translator?

I really thought he would win them over but its looking very unlikely now. We cannot afford to wait the next few games to see if he gets the boot. Our new manager needs to be in the stands against Brighton.

What I mean by that is that fate just seems to have a habit of making the second time go badly. Think KK for us, Howard Kendall at Everton etc.

Nope. It never works out the second time around.

The last two games have already answered that question. We are going down under Jones.

I'm sick of hearing about Benitez to be honest. He's not coming back and I don't really want him to now either. The circumstances in which he were to come back would be very, very awkward and I don't think it would rub off on us very well at all.

People are panicking because it would be the most NUFC thing ever to seemingly hit the jackpot and then get relegated, making the Saudis lose faith and sell up. We've seen so many false dawns and the club clutch defeat from the jaws of victory that, historically, it's just the type of thing that could realistically happen to us. 2008 when KK came back then 8 months later it all falling apart in disaster is a perfect example of this. I think relegation is a very serious worry for us in all sorts of ways. Call it bedwetting if you want but that's what I think.

If anything could sum up their hilarious overreaction to the takeover it's the comments that the illustration on the flag yesterday was a mosque, rather than the Spanish City. Desperately clutching at anything that might paint a negative light. It's truly beyond sad. What these dumb fucks can't bring themselves to admit either is that Newcastle, Gateshead, North Tyneside & South Tyneside are all part of an unofficial "Greater Newcastle". You can add parts of Northumberland and West Durham in there too. We've all got the same accent and class Newcastle city centre as "the town". When someone from South Shields says they are going into town they don't mean that they are going into Shields town centre.

Because it would have been entirely avoidable. Also, there is no knowing how a relegation would affect the thinking of the Saudis. Add to that, God knows what shithouse new rules the PL bring into place while we are out of the league. Relegation could really ruin everything.

At the moment it's nailed on.

I have had some depressing moments as a NUFC fan of 36 years but being relegated as the richest club in the world, when the takeover happened with only 7 games played, would top the lot. It doesnt even bear thinking about.

It's a moot point anyway. Benitez is not coming back here.

They have been handed a total shit show, but by next weekend the owners will have been in control for a month. A new manager needs to be decided NOW. Fonseca or Favre...make the choice and then live or die by it. But the guy has got to be in place by next Saturday.

Get Fonseca in this week. His defensive record might be a worry but if we go down then at least we will do it fighting. Martinez with Jones as his assistant and we are down.
