Mattoon

I can never hate the guy because of his love for Sir Bobby and his consistent praise for NUFC but he's become a parody of himself, he looks dishevelled. I concur, a decent amount of time away from the game and make a more honest, toned down return in a year or so with a less attractive club and rebuild that reputation.

So a second bidder has been named and is a "friend of Ashley's". Aye alright then.

Mitro either gets a hat trick or is our first opposition sending off for 5 years.

We've already won in the fact they have to play our kids so any result there is a bonus, they would never live a loss down.

My only thought to this being legit is the steady price of SD now, it rises, it falls, it rises again. Clearly the free advertising has run it's course, the club has been asset stripped, there's no further blood to squeeze from the stone, makes sense for him to sell what's left and invest it elsewhere.

Unfortunately I tend to agree, the current vacuousness within the fan base means if our gut feelings are true and this takeover is just another smoke screen not much will happen. I've even got the feeling that if Rafa leaves at the end of the season because Ashley is still in charge and no investment has been made in January, most will turn on and blame Rafa for "quitting" and be "fully behind the new manager.". The problem is the die hard fans that protested when Keegan left have now long gone themselves and all that's left is subservient acceptance. I hope I'm proven wrong, preferably the club gets sold and we don't have to find out, but I won't hold my breath.

Had his own escort from the half way line

Well that was a little bit shit wasn't it?

Well I guess we'll find out sooner rather than later if this guy is full of shit

Granted he doesn't have the best squad to work with, are you seriously saying he should never be criticised if someone thinks he's made a mistake ? Not at all, but a sense of perspective wouldn't go amiss. This, when we're winning it's all quiet, as soon as we lose the wolves come out. I'm happy for him to take his share of the blame when it doesn't go for us, if he deserves it, but not the ones baying for blood, calling him a busted flush every time. Even in blame you've got to consider the hand he has been dealt.

I'm not reading that shit, I already know what a self serving rectangle that fuck face is, don't need the extra blood pressure on a Friday night

And yet people still call him out for tactics and subs, smh. The man is truly a genius and a gentleman to boot, no one I'd rather have in our dugout now or for the foreseeable future. Edit: NPW

Not a chance, Shearer gave me so many fond memories, I wouldn't swap his time here for anything, the man was everything a striker should be and more.

They are 6th mind, an away point to a top 6 team is always decent I just mean a Newcastle United not shackled by Ashley wouldn't be where we are. However I am really happy with the result, not taking anything away from it, all the players can hold their heads high after that

A point away at Everton is a great result, it shouldn't be but that's where we are.

Petulant self approval too, trying to act like the voice of fans while spouting his own agenda

The want to believe is greater than the ability to see the smoke screen. I want to believe it's true but I don't trust a word that comes from the club in its current guise. #wait

Just got my email requesting proof of ID

4 on the bounce and hopefully a little daylight from the bottom before the Everton game. Confidence is a huge factor in football and you never know what will happen after a few good wins and performances.

How the actual fuck!??!?

Not entirely true though, he hiked the price when safety was assured and only "reduced" the price again when he spent fuck all in the summer and left Rafa high and dry. I think people are interested at £300m but it's only ever been available at that price when we've been on a knife edge. It'll be interesting to see what happens in the summer with a threadbare squad, no manager and no transfer funds, greedy bastard will still think we're worth £300m, even if we're relegated.

As soon as that first goal went in just before half time, all I could see was a lot of huff and puff followed by a meek equaliser and a probable last minute sucker punch. Dreaded the whole second half, still waiting for that equaliser to come
