Their fans were still bad in the 2nd relegation season, despite being already down themselves. Their fans come across as weird bellends, but I can totally see why fans of other clubs like to goad our fans. As a collective we're easy targets and really don't help ourselves. Goad? Aye, maybe. To go to the lengths of taking specially painted bed sheets, twice. Bewildering.

I'm quite confident the first 2 would still be here had we given Rafa enough encouragement to stay. Tried and tested goal scorers. Instead we're having to chance our luck with Bruce, ASM and Joelinton.

Went in to work last night and sat for a cuppa in the canteen before my shift. Talk amongst colleagues turned to how much Mourhinio would get at Spurs. Someone chipped in with 'Well Rafa was on good money' then the icing on the cake was this bell end who has only had his ST for a couple of seasons and before then was a plastic Man U fan pipes up and says 'We're playing better football under Bruce'. If anyone thinks that then fair enough but i can't stand the suggestion we've dodged a bullet by losing Rafa. Went to work in a decent mood but it went downhill from there.

The bit in the original HTT post about us selling everything black and white, pencil cases etc and grannies wanting replica shirts, why can't anyone see that potential? Prospective buyers that is. There must be someone out there...PLEASE!

It must stick in their throats that while they languish mid table in league one and having to play in the 1st round of the FA cup in a sparse stadium, their neighbours with an owner who is anti progress and couldn't give a f**k are only 2 points off 5th in the top tier. We're not even trying man.

We're doing surprisingly well and so credit where credit's due. What annoys me is that some almost have a 'See, we're better off with Bruce than Rafa' attitude. Only Rafa knows why he ultimately left and no doubt money was a big factor but i don't believe he was given any real incentive to hang around. Having seen the way previous managers have been treat here, Keegan, Hughton, Rafa, we're left with a managers job no credible manager wants to touch. That's why we're left with someone like Bruce, who is in my opinion someone simply prepared to take the job rather than being a manager of choice.

Listened last night. The accusations that they are chancers prepared to take any profit and run seemed to touch a raw nerve. Wonder why?

Like how the mackems have got their club back? The downturn in fortunes at safc at DID actually bring a change of owners. The new ones have turned out to be no better and there's no guarantees but I'd certainly like to take a chance on a new owner.

We are the opposite to that quote on the scarves Leicester fans have in memory of their owner. They have 'Making the impossible possible' on. Ashleys' motto seems more like making the possible impossible. Could maybe an alternative protest scarf to those hard hitting stripey bar scarves. 'Ashley. Making the possible impossible'.

Interviewer just needs a green cap to look like a tomato, and babestation? The lad is surrounded by 30 thousand tits most home games but still doesn't see enough.

Said to the wife yesterday, 'It's half an hour til KO in a home game and i'm just going about life like it's not happening'. Was just helping out with the dinner. Didn't think it possible i could become so detached from NUFC. Hurts like hell. There's a massive void in my life. I watch the odd non league game and have done some EFL ground hopping but none of it really matters and i'm just making do. I want to look forward to toon games again. Count the days til the next one. i want results to make or break my weekends like they used to. I want to feel proud and feel a foot taller, like i did whenever i'd wear something with the crest or club name on. Just go man Ashley you FB.

Who's the lass who's been accompanying him to court?

E mail fired off. Might not change anything but makes me feel better now that my anger at Ashleys' total distain for the club has subsided anyway.

I live just up the road and didn't even realise they existed at their current home. They're at Scotswood sports centre, off Denton road. I'd passed and thought it looked like it had had a bit of an upgrade from the old Sunday league pitch it once was. I was actually in my local chippy and they'd put some flyers on the tables. They seem to be trying to put the word out and attract people. Suppose they're the only non league club in a fairly big catchment area of Newcastles' West end so we'll see how/if they progress.

Took a curious look at Kenny Whartons Newcastle Blue Star yesterday. Nice day and just down the road from me.Won 7-0 v Seaton Delaval. Decent bar there. 'The Bobby Robson lounge'. Cheap food and drink and you can take your pints round the pitch. They've got plans for a new stand so the ground will be good enough for step 6 and able to host FA cup/vase games. https://www.nbsfc2018.co.uk/post/newcastle-blue-star-football-club-ground-redevelopments

Massive club. Fans everywhere. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50027904

'Remember, we are safc and have 6 in a row'. Is that on their honours list?

Just watched that again. Thinking about how my interest levels have swung so dramatically from high to low ☹. What an absolute waste of a club.

Imagine the BILL for all that duck tape? ☺

Could well be a broken arm to add to his trouble.

FA cup 3rd qualifying round today. Dunston v Colne, who are bringing a fair few up according to Dunstons twitter. Also said on there to take note that those fantastic journalists at the Chron had got it wrong by telling its readers they are away to Marine today. Small clubs like Dunston needing every penny they can get and those idiots are putting people off.

When the missus says she's stopping at her parents tonight. This sums up how pathetic our braindead fans are fucking laughing and dancing at us after we are being drubbed and fucking humiliated. This pisses me off so fucking much how conditioned our sheep have become contrast this to 25 years ago fans being pissed off and confronting Keegan after Andy Cole was sold Our fans are nothing short of a fucking embarrassment now and wuite frankly its fucking shameful that these clowns have paid good hard earned money and think its funny watching us get absolutely gubbed all while singing whos that team we call united Before i jacked my ST i was at Spurs and while all around me were going mental at the shock win i couldn't bring myself to join in singing 'Who's that team we call United' when we're not United anymore. Nor could i sing 'We'll support you evermore' with any conviction when i was by now doubting i would support them ever more. It'll always be my club but i'm feeling nothing but apathy for it currently.

I was drunkenly thrown out of cosy joes for shouting at that twat Wee Philly last night.. Asked him if he hates Newcastle that much what he was doing here?

Cheers for the support folks. I feel strangely relieved since I cancelled. After cancelling, one of the 1st people I bumped into was a 'mackem' at work. I use the inverted commas because he's from Wallsend or somewhere and attends once in a blue moon. He asked if I was enjoying watching my team. Funnily enough, I've just cancelled my ST I replied. He starts shaking his head in disgust and more or less tried to tell me I should support my club no matter what. Picked the wrong moment to start such a conversation. I explained I've followed my club for 43 years but that club is now a pointless club. One which no longer attempts to compete. One who are only playing to finish between 13th and 20th most seasons, and cups? Why even enter? Told him how I now envy other clubs for at least trying to be the best they can be. While they are hilariously making hard work of it so far, even his shitty club WANT to succeed.
