When Ian finally lost patience with Pardew it was a real watershed moment for the forum

Well, I could easily stop supporting them in the meantime and come back if/when he goes. I don't see how that could be criticised TBH. Not me, I would rather go the rest of this season and shout abuse at Ashley or his cronies than just turn my back on the club, what next, you don't like the new left back so you pack your season ticket in.!!! 'Shout abuse at Ashley & Co'....? You are living in denial mate - they couldn't care less, will probably not even be there to hear it and you know all this...you are just trying to justify giving in to keep supporting a shoddily-run outfit that couldn't care less about its customers... I never fucking understood this train of thought. You can pay me £40 to come and shout abuse at me for 2 hours if you want? I'll even make you a sandwich half way through and a couple of beers for an extra £5 each if you want? Hardly sticking it to the man is it?

Don't think you quite understand how important your role is on Saturday. If he leaves within the next three years, it'll be because you didn't convince him to stay. I second this, it all lies on you O.N No pressure mate, but this is all down to you now, you are the voice of N.O. don't let us down

St James' park needs to be a cauldron of noise tomorrow in support of Rafa, it's up to the fans to show what's important to the club. The fat slug probably won't care but I think it's important. I hope, if Ashley does fuck this one up as he always does, then finally the penny will drop with our supporters. I refuse to support MAFC.

It's been a shit window and a bad month for on field performances but we have what we have now and there's no point dwelling on it at this time. We need to back Rafa and back the team and hope for a better summer, if that doesn't happen and Rafa leaves then we need to unleash the Hounds of hell on Ashley. I said earlier, Rafa was Ashley's last roll of the dice, his hail Mary, Rafa was the only thing that could bring the club back together and if he goes then Ashley needs to, there's no coming back from that.

Rafa was Ashley's last roll of the dice, he must know that if he loses Rafa due to his mistreatment of the man then the whole lot comes crumbling down around his ears. Is the fat twat really that stupid?!?

If we come out of this with even draw at this point I'll be surprised. Since we scored there's only been one team in it. It's unforgiveable that highly paid professional footballers can wonder round the field aimlessly like that. Rafa must be fucking livid.

There is definitely enough quality in our squad to get promoted regardless and I'm not too worried if we don't sign anyone. The main issues being the Townsend deal was probably the difference between first and second and if anything was to happen to force Shelvey to miss an extended run of games then I can see us taking a tumble which might see us drop out of the automatic places. Slightly worrying but not the end of the world. The biggest worry for me is how this has affected Rafa and his plans and how he comes out of this, if he's alright with it all then no worries.

"Must admit, it surprises me that a club the size of NUFC has only got a couple of cliquey tumbleweed forums, and a busy one but mostly infested with childish gobby cockwombles." So am I a childish cockwomble or am I a spotty wow playing virgin? Perhaps I'm both?? I'm so confused!

Corruption is corruption and it's wrong, but when it comes to stealing from charities/would be charities then that's another level of evil. I can't fathom what goes through the head of a person who uses the guise of charity as a way to fill their own pockets, hope they all burn in hell.

How old are you? That made me snicker! 46, there are some nice treets going on. I'd whisper that if I were you.

How old are you? That made me snicker!

Get in!

Brom 2-0 up against Mackems now :lol:

Highlights from Barca B's last home game in their 15k capacity stadium: That atmosphere is electric!

Just bring him home, he'll wreck this league under Rafa, he's this year's Routledge.

spot on. As close to a banker as you get

Imagine trying to motivate yourself to get out of bed in the morning when every time you wake up you're a Mackem.

whose the other 2? Shelvey, then.....? Gayle surely?

Bad value in January, saving money for going up, not blowing our wad in case we don't go up, there's a number of reasons there's no cash available and to make our own conclusions just causes angst for no reason. Rafa knows what he's doing, let's just see what happens and trust he's happy until he says he's not.

He has one more thing to do this season. When the transfer window "slams shut" and Moyes walks because he sees the futility in the battle ahead, one man will come striding out the mist. Super Al, nay The King, with unwavering belief and cocksuredness knows he's the man to save them and prove those pesky Geordies wrong and Sunderland desperate for another boom-bust injection see just the man. What follows is a run of form to rival Derby in THAT ill-fated season and after 5...10 even, years of unbalance the universe is finally put to rights, with two of football's pariahs descending into the bowels of non-league pergatory in unholy matrimony.

Time to unlock/create a new Shelvey thread? He's back with a bang!

Riiiitchiiiieeeeeeee

Can we start a new thread called "Our Fans"? Why only 1? Just for this match, we can make another one after the next match too.
