A good read, glad they've got off the fence on this one. How long with this attack last though, not just from .com but from all sources?
-
Ah but don't worry lads there's reportedly interested parties in the Bundeslega and it would be cynical of us to suggest that's just a dangling carrot.

A decent piece by the Chronic for a change, they're playing with fire atm: http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/sport-opinion/newcastle-united-need-jurgen-klopp-9093223

The only ex player speaking any sense is that rat faced money grabbing deserter Owen. I'm really disappointed in Ferdinand, being so involved in football still you'd think he had more knowledge than that.

Not you too Ferdinand, the club are killing my memories FFS:

What are the odds of the Chronic getting banned for their coverage of this? I've read 2 or 3 articles about this now. An Ashley favourite, gag the media, batten down the hatches, remain silent. I can almost see him sat with his fingers in his ears, eyes tightly shut, repeating over and over "can't hear you, can't hear you" while penfold strokes his head.

When he lost the ball yesterday and stood with his hands on his hips while they strolled up the other end and slotted it in without being tackled, that was a highlight for me. The exact thing HBA was accused of and vilified for by all and sundry, doesn't get mentioned though. Love how players like him stay on the pitch while players like Abeid get subbed too, great management.

Come on Jonas, let it out, you can be a hero.

But a decent manager could still get the team organised and get them to put some effort in to at least pick up the odd point, They could. Carver's the lowest of the low but I do think a few on here are in a little bit of denial about just how f***ing gutless/useless our players are. This. Fair enough Pardew was an arrogant t*** and presided over many unwanted records in his tenure here and Carver is simply completely out of his depth but the one common denominator during the 6 match losing streak last season and again this season is the players with one or two exceptions. They've just downed tools again exactly like last year which is one of the reasons I can't understand people saying you've still got to turn up to support the players. They couldn't give a toss about me or the club and I couldn't give a toss about them, Janmaat aside. Although I agree to a point, a decent manager wouldn't put up with it and wouldn't accept it, do you think these players would play like this if we had Alex Ferguson in charge? It's up to the manager to get the best out of his players and ensure they stay focused. I'm not by any means exempting them from blame, they're all shameful, but it's clear no one else gives a shit so why should they? Could you take Carver seriously? Even someone like Bobby, who isn't a disciplinarian would find a way for them to fight for the club to the end. They aren't fit to wear the shirt but a good manager can make a team better than the sum of its parts, ours has been worse for almost half a decade.

I'm hoping that the media backing the move along with yesterday's performance making people question why they turned up in the first place having walked out before the final whistle might make a similar attempt more impactful. Probably not, but it could go either way, those doing it as a one off may want to go back or they might have felt part of something bigger and want to do more. No amount of online polls will tell us the truth, only the actual time of the next action. I hope this is just the start of a strong campaign against Ashley that will build greater momentum as it goes along and not just phase out into ambivalent acceptance again.

If the appearance contract extension is true I imagine it will play a part but yes I'd think that him standing up to the hierarchy has seen his days numbered, happened to HBA and to an extent Santon. They only want yes men and then wonder why we have no heart or commitment on the pitch.
-
I wonder if we'll ever find out the real attendance? There's a lot of people saying the club have reported 47k to the authorities, though there must be a precident against this surely? Either way it seems it has swung the national opinion of the issues in our favour, I've not heard "delusional" branded today. Looks like the tide is turning on fatty

The Bishop has obviously told him to try a different forum. Someone responded to him with this gem. 'Listen, son. You're a c***. A grade A c***. Ashleyout.com was launched less than two weeks ago and in that time has helped organise a boycott of approximately 10,000 fans. When was the last time that happened? But that isn't what makes you a c***. No. You're a c*** because you wanted it to fail. You'd rather be proven right to a bunch of strangers on the Internet than see the campaign achieve any success. You rushed on here so quickly to claim victory that you didn't even know what the score was. The fellas over on NO had the right idea. And that is what makes you a c***. Or a mackem. Same difference.' Magical. You seen his post on the intro thread? He really hates this place :lol: He is indeed a Grade A c***. He's getting rinsed over there
