turning your opinion 360? By geometric law...

Gone on holiday for a few weeks, and I see that it is all still depressing.

Have you ever played with or against someone who's made it?

I'm not your mate, friend.

I remember one Henry goal when Barthez essentially walked to the back of the net to retrieve the ball as soon as Henry struck it. Remy looks fantastic, but he has a long way to go to reach Henry's levels.

His first tenure gave me the best years of my sport spectator life. I want enthusiasm and entertainment from a football club. I am surrounded by enough miserable cunts in my daily life that I would like football to be a proper escape. Keegan did that in spades, whereas the current cunt in charge is about as optimistic as a man employed to throw plague victims in a trench. Pardew is pall-incarnate and it saddens me to be reminded of the sheer joy that Keegan brought to the club.

I grew up worshipping Kevin Keegan. Was easily one of my favorite players. And when he went to manage Newcastle, there was really no question in my mind which club I was going to support. Witnessing those Keegan years, how the hell could I support anybody else now? And apparently, I like also-rans. Most sporting teams I support range from mediocre to horseshit with the occasional glory thrown into the mix.

The dude was a monster. Encapsulated everything about the English center forward at the time. Loved him for it.

4 games into the season and 7 points. A bit early for I told you so hubris.

Robert's freekicks were ridiculous. Phenomenal player, and certainly one of my favorites.

Fucking horrible. What I would give to have a Gary Speed in our squad. Brilliant servant.

Yes, things could be worse. That does not mean at all that they should be considered acceptable. Don't use this stability nonsense either. Maybe if the game was played on a fucking spreadsheet. But here's a gentle reminder: 1) Hire Keegan, then undermine him with that poison dwarf 2) Replace him with Kinnear. Yes. Fucking Kinnear! 3) After that failure, give Shearer 8 games to turn it around. 4) Jettison Hughton unceremoniously. 5) Bring in Pardew. Yes, you read it correctly. Fucking Pardew. 6) Sports Direct Stadium, officially making a 120 year old club a vehicle for his business 7) Not bring in anybody after we finished 5th. A wonderful opportunity blown. 8) Not jettison Pardew when he almost got this team relegated, and a pall seemed to be over everything associated with this club. 9) Bring in Joe Fucking Kinnear! Again! 10) One loan signing. This fails to really encapsulate the soul-destroying number he's put on this club during his stewardship. Every time there is a bit of optimism, you know his next action is going to cancel it out. How could anyone defend the indefensible? One step removed from defending Alistair Crowley as a decent, misunderstood visionary. The whole mantra "better the devil you know..." is utter bullshit imo. It leaves no room for any type of growth. Happy with Mubarak because you never know when a Pol Pot might come along. Absurd. Absurd, and let me stress, absurd.

Did I ever claim we were far better off? You're the one trembling about somebody worse possibly coming in to replace this cunt. Fair enough, I suppose, but in my 20 years as a supporter, I have never seen so many people so apathetic toward NUFC. The passion in this club is gone, gone, gone.
