Wandy

He definitely looks nervous around crowds of people he doesn't know or trust. Thinking back now when I saw him in Shearers bar, surrounded by his muscle, on the night when he brought KK back to the club he had a shifty look about him even then. I dismissed it at the time as I was on such a high at having Keegan back but the signs were there. Wouldn't be surprised if he secretly suffers from social anxiety. Bullied at school and now taking it out on the world. Cunt.

He should have been pelted with eggs when he came out of that restaurant on Wednesday. An opportunity missed as that is the last time he will allow himself to be in such close proximity to the "proles" of Newcastle without proper protection.

I was there tonight. At 6pm there was virtually nobody in the place so was worried that the turnout would be pitiful. Thankfully the room filled out pretty much to seating capacity and there looked to be around 150 people there once it got going. Chi Onwurah and Ian Mearns spoke well but I was particularly impressed with Kevin Miles, a bloke I will gladly admit to not being a fan of in the past. He was excellent here though and made some very good points. As Mearns pointed out, this is probably going to be a very long and hard slog to get this parasite out. But the campaign has to grow and tackling the apathy amongst the masses is going to be the greatest challenge of all. Wasn't sure what to make of the guy with his £50m buy-in scheme. He seemed genuine enough but there was some rolling of eyes in the crowd where I was.

It is like. I wanted the fuckers in the wilderness for the next 20 years.

Sickening news. Today is a good day for them, no point pretending otherwise. They will piss league 1 too. In fact, if they had just kept Grabban and bought a half decent keeper they would have stayed up this season. And these fuckers think they are unlucky? In the aame position Ashley would have wound us up.

Imagine if Rafa walks in the summer and these two c*nts end up back at NUFC. With Ashley still as owner it is entirely possible too.

That’s a problem that can be dealt with later if needed be. Like how? This is the worst part of the whole sorry saga for me. No matter who the next owner is, our future development as a club has been massively curtailed by this parasite. It's f*cking shameful how he has been allowed to develop this land to the detriment of the club. Shameful. At the moment there is no activity on the site and even though it has been approved it has only been done so on the on condition that an agreement with Nexus is made, which so far hasn’t happened. If Ashley’s intent to sell the club is real and he’s prepared to offer that bit of land to the new owners in a separate purchase then he’s not going to develop it any time soon. If PCP are struggling/reluctant to stump up £300m with no clauses I'd say the chances of them forking out another £60m for the land are pretty slim. And, to be honest, if they dont have plans to expand the stadium that is another potential red flag with this lot.

He is building student flats on it that will prevent Level 7 being extended to the Gallowgate End. And our inept City Council are allowing him to do it. Thanks for this btw. I’m probably getting a bit naive these days but I’m start to realise this isn’t about the football with these people. He would sell off SJP if he could get away with it. Anyway, the plans can be seen here... https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/business/business-news/st-james-park-development-plans-10164835

53 wins for us, 51 wins for them, 49 draws. Thats what I thought but Wiki (yeah, I know) and another site say differently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyne%E2%80%93Wear_derby https://www.11v11.com/teams/sunderland/tab/opposingTeams/opposition/Newcastle%20United/

Is it true that we have now won/lost the same amount of games against this lot? I thought that we were still two wins ahead but a few websites say it's 53 wins each.

I appreciate I am new on here so I say this with all due respect, but you are talking nonsense when you say the city centre is 'awful'. I don't live in the city anymore, but I love close enough that it is always my destination of choice when going shopping etc. with the kids. I love taking them to the places I enjoyed as a young boy: Fenwicks (toy department!), Mark Toney's for an ice cream, Exhibition Park etc. Yes, I would agree that there is a proliferation of student flats and development that could equally be at home in the likes of Manchester or Leeds, but if you can't see past that to admire the majesty of Grey Street, Grey's Monument and Grainger Town (never mind the units at the ground floor, look up!), or enjoy the likes of Fenwicks (give me that any day of the week over Harvey Nicks) and the brilliant pubs, then that is a shame. I'm not that well travelled but I've been a few places and nobody will ever convince me that my home town isn't the greatest city on earth. And yes I'm biased. I admire lots about our City Centre, but its becoming a pretty bland and uninspiring place these days for all kinds of things other than the occasional night out drinking and dining. Its focusing too much on students and office space and cheap and tatty shops and it can be awful at times. Although that's largely down to some of the people that inhabit it on a daily basis, beggars, charvers and f***ing charity sales people etc. I genuinely think remove the Quayside/Central Station area and Grey Street and its just a bland old boring City Centre. Northumberland Street is s***, The Gate is s*** and the Bigg Market and Haymarket likewise. Although I quite like some of the pubs around the Haymarket. I have probably visited every city and town in England, Scotland and Wales and although Newcastle is great compared to many, compared to say Leeds or Manchester, it certainly isn't the Greatest City on Earth. I personally would like to see more open space for pop up events and market stalls. I'd like to see less traffic in the City Centre and I'd like to see some new additions aimed at leisure rather than shopping and f***ing eating. How many shops and food joins does a relatively small City need. Things like an ice rink, an open exercise park for example. A water fountain maybe. Less ugly buildings for students and office space, less stupid shops that sell the same s*** as any other but under a different name/brand and less f***ing kebabs and bookies. Its Adelaide Terrace but NE1... I'm probably a miserable old c*** these days, but the idea of me visiting the City Centre other than for a p*ss up with the lads sounds horrendous. Me if I was in charge I'd build the world's biggest car park where the Arena is and all that other disused land and run electric buses into Town from there and make it a pedestrian area with more open space. Do away with the daft polluting buses clogging up the roads and other traffic. Similar to Manheim in Germany who has trams and small buses and a nice clean and freed up centre. Agree with a lot of this. Also, people bang on about Grey Street & Granger Town but the truth is that the buildings are actually in horrendous shape. Next time your out in town take a look up at the buildings. They are rotting & crumbling away and look absolutely filthy. The unpalatable truth is that the central part of the city centre is in a bad way. Newcastle City Council are a shockingly absentee landlord and think the answer is to just build as much student accomodation on prime locations as possible. Appalling.

http://i1.chroniclelive.co.uk/incoming/article10164889.ece/ALTERNATES/s1200/JS73415633.jpg If either of the two proposals above are how it ends up then NUFC are screwed. Honestly, in 32 years of following NUFC I've seen plenty of heartbreaking moments....relegations, selling off local superstar players, blowing 12 point leads, Keegan being forced out etc etc but none of it hurts more than this. And that's because the damage done by ambitionless owners, inept managers & players, relegations & cup loses can all be repaired but this cannot be. Once it's completed it will be permanent. On of the most iconic city views is taken away forever and NUFC's status ceiling as a second tier Premier League club is cemented, destined to never again compete with the current top seven clubs in England. Hell, even Sunderland could eclipse us one day as they have ample room to expand to 60,000 and beyond. When this abortion of a development is finished the vast potential that everyone feels has always been there, lying dormant, within NUFC is gone.

Is nobody else here absolutely raging at the sight of this photo? What happened to the claim that this monstrosity would not hamper any expansion of the Gallowgate end? This photo confirms the death of any hope of NUFC becoming a top player again in the Premier League. Ashley is about to wreck our future, permanently. His legacy will be here forever, long after he has gone. And our utterly inept City Council are going to let him do it too. :'(

Imagine if Grayson turns them down. :lol:

They are convinced that the German takeover is done & dusted. Would be highly disappointing to see them get out of jail so quickly.

Definitely & absolutely not. http://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/threads/europa-league-final.328536/page-25

Brutal. http://ashleyout.com/articles/dear-mike-an-open-letter-to-mike-ashley/

Great call, you nailed it on the head.

Realistically, we can now afford to lose all of our remaining games and we still will not be relegated. If our lot cannot bring themselves to boycott a game now then it will simply never happen.

http://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/the-plane-fly-past-back-on.1060664/page-84 Looks like this isn't happening now.

Seriously....how has he not been physically harmed at a match yet?

It's warming up nicely at Rangers. Why can our downtrodden lot not give Ashley the same kind of treatment?
