Wandy

This is from The Mag...seems to add up IMO. He's not that arsed about us getting relegated. This is how much of an idiot this man actually is. Nobody is going to convince me that there are not some very lucky people out there who get rich by accident.... Forget the chronic porous nature of our defence on Saturday. Forget too the weak as water uselessness of our midfield bite. Then forget, if you can, the Championship standard of Messrs Williamson, Gouffran, Riviere and Obertan. Let us turn to the most worrying fact to emerge from the weekend. You would not have seen it on the pitch on Saturday, or in the dugout. It was in the Chronicle and it was a reported comment from the hierarchy at St James’ Park. Mike Ashley, said this unidentified person, ‘is not particularly bothered anymore.’ This is not boredom. Far from it. Ashley is as bothered as ever about losing money. If and when we get relegated, Ashley will be bothered. Nor is it exhaustion with the barrage of criticism. I doubt if he is aware of it. If he is aware of it, I doubt if he cares. He’s not particularly bothered about criticism. If anything, criticism brings out his astonishingly stubborn side, and makes him utterly determined to persist with his established strategy. He is usually right to do so. Mike Ashley trusts his instincts above all else. He fancies himself as a gambler, and knows when to walk away. It’s just that, at Newcastle, he has nowhere to go. There are, it would appear, no buyers, although he was reportedly scouring the United States recently to discover some sports enthusiast like Ellis Short. I believe he would certainly sell if he could. But he can’t. So he is a gambler on a losing streak. It is all going tits up at Newcastle, and he can see it. He knows he is the problem. He knows Pardew is about as good as it is going to get for him. He knows nobody else will come to manage our team unless they are an alcoholic pensioner, a dangerously deluded fantasist, or an average hack with no track record. He also suspects a replacement will have no long-term effect. Pardew is his perfect guy. Ashley thinks Pardew is a good coach, and he may be right. He may be wrong, but he may be right. Ashley knows the problem is him. He can see it. And he knows that paying off Pardew and bringing in another manager who would want to spend money and would make it a condition of his contract that he would be given money to spend, is just a tiresome series of negotiations Ashley can do without. So a money enthusiast who is not particularly bothered any more, despite the spectre of relegation, means what, exactly? Well, in my view, it means he is a gambler who has lost and is going to lose big and go on losing big and who cannot get out of the mess he’s in. He can’t cash in his chips. He’s dying to run away. He’s dying to be told the bill and to leave the casino and to forget all about his doomed series of stupid punts. But he can’t. Newcastle is wrapped around his neck. So, when you’re a feckless, epic gambler like our bull-headed, ignorant owner, the only thing to do is to mentally withdraw. That is the worst outcome of all for Newcastle fans. It means he’s just going to sit back and watch, like the rest of us. Except he’s not bothered. Does his face look bothered? Not really. He wants us to stay up but he’s not going to do much about it. Sacking Pardew would expose his ridiculous and hopeless lack of alternatives, as well as exposing him as a stupid idiot. There’s nothing else for it. He’s running away, except he’s staying where he is. He’s just not bothered.

Something that I have definitely noticed about them when watching their games though is the lack of passion and atmosphere at their games. Even goals are cheered only half heartedly. Can they really be bored of success already? Maybe their natural mental inclination is to be the underdogs?.....which is something I have often wondered about ourselves too, actually.

Trouble in paradise? Would this forum be full of threads like the ones below, had the Sheiks bought us instead of them? http://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=306272 http://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=306251 http://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=297762 Seems like we have more in common with City than we think....two clubs that have lost their soul. Except they win trophies.

You a lip reader mate? Nope. Pure guesswork, lol.

Looks to me like Ashley says to Charnley "I'll tell him if you want, I'll tell him...yep. "

If you want to see what is going on in the alternative universe of the NUFC "Soopafan" have a look at this forum http://www.notbbc.co.uk/forums/f=unufc and click on the thread titled "What has happened to our club / support?" F#cking idiots, the lot of them.

Amazing stuff, RTG, simply amazing, Massive, massive respect to you all.

I assume the one I posted on p666 was allowed because it has no TV channel stuff on it?

Lol, not sure if your being serious now or just want to ban me???

That constitutes as a football video??? Your kidding, right? So what about linking to the forum where it was found? Is that allowed?

Eh? What's wrong with it like?

What they saying now? "The fans have conveniently forgot about the "good" first half of the season" Lowes is just a fat f*cking mess and Anderson is as thick as a church wall.

F*cking Mick Lowes & John Anderson doing their best to defend this c*nt once again. Words fail me.

My word, there simply are no words to describe how much I hate this c*nt. The sound of his voice is genuinely offensive.

You were far too measured & polite, the local media deserve as much hostile criticism as the club. For a start someone needs to tell Mick Lowes that Pardew is not his best f***ing mate, therefore he should not interview him in a manner as if he is. Feel free, Wandy I said as much as I could, as didn't want to risk getting binned from the show. Believe me, I am tempted every week, but I'm not sure I could keep the rage in. As long as you don't swear at them though they surely cannot bin your call. I've question their editorial policy (brown-nosing the club too much) It might not have gone down well. That would leave them wide open to the criticism that they run their radio station in the exact same manner as Ashley runs NUFC.

What's Red & White and not in Europe?

Hang on a minute. I laid £10 on them to win on Betfair and got 10/1. Are you saying this only counts if they win after 90 minutes? Yeah "To win" means to win the game in 90 minutes. You can bet separately on them winning in extra time, winning on pens or just to lift the trophy though any victory method. FML. They will probably win in extra time or on penalties now.

Just had a read on Villa Talk. The comments on there about their manager and the general state of the club are uncannily similar to those found on here.

I've been meaning to for months now. It's going to happen soon, I just need to make sure I stay calm cos I know that their replies will just wind me up.

I get the feeling they don't want to put their commentary contract with the club, in danger. They will allow fans to speak out, but Ando will only go 'so far' when it comes to what he's allowed to say. It's infuriating the way that the only people who seem to call up are the sheep who have been brainwashed by the club propaganda. Seriously, people who post on this and other forums need to be calling in and telling it the way the majority think it is.

Ridiculous if true.

Why are Radio Newcastle such apologists for this c**t?? I loved John Anderson as a player but as a pundit he is abysmal.
