Was reading the Guardian article on Simeone and man, what a stark contrast to f***ing Pardew and his mentality. This is a club up against sovereign states, oligarchs and American tycoons and ......" Science... Dont forget science... Never been on our side that science...

So it is possible to start negotiations before deadline day. Whooodathunkit

I honestly admire you for trying to get something started, but this doesn't make sense. Either you think it's the right thing to do, or you don't. End of discussion. Apologies for making my point again, but its been years debating the same thing. What idea is better than the next. Why not all rally behind a game boycott this week, boycott buying anything in the stadium the following week, then do an open top bus the following week. (as an example) Doesn't honestly matter. The second we all rally behind each other, thats when the media circus starts and its snowballs. "What is a club?" Start supporting the man to your right instead of the overpaid mercenaries who don't care as much as your fellow supporter does.

Imagine getting 50 000 people crammed into a Gateshead game (know its not possible) and buying shirts. Should get the media gagging

The challenge as I see it is with our fanbase being so fragmented it's hard to get agreement on anything. The problem is further compounded by certain egos who seem to see protests as a legitimate opportunity for shameless self-promotion. It's ok in theory everyone agreeing to follow every protest but then Wraith pipes up with 'lets have a mock funeral for the stadium. And I will be the priest.' And everyone goes no thanks mate think I'll leave that and the disagreements start again. Fwiw I think the open-top bus was a good idea and would have looked a lot better with just a few more bodies involved. On the other hand others found it cringey and you can't force people to join in. So in short I don't know what the answer is. Yep. Good point, but I think the sentiment still exists. Lets try support our peers. This is as important as supporting the club. In fact, its the same thing. Another way to put it: Lets get every single Newcastle supporter to back one initiative. Doesnt matter what it is. Just back one you agree with, and get everyone to do the same. It can be as small as posting comments on the Chronicle, or as big as giving up your season ticket. Just make some kind of small difference, and hopefully it snow balls.

What I really dont get it is how there are people out there willing to stand up for the club, and so many on here or on the streets debate the merits of the specific idea instead of getting up off their asses and doing something. Why cant we support every single idea that has enthusiastic folk behind it? Yes it may not be the best idea, yes it may not hurt Ashely the most of all the ideas, but support them all. Every single one of them. We need to unite as groups regardless of which fans forum, fanzine, forum, blog came up with the idea. Regardless if they mis-spell boycoutt, organise an open bus, or decide to stop buying anything at the stadium. Lets give them all a massive pat on the back for doing something and then get behind them all.

Never a foul though

hehe

Haidara is going to be a legend me thinks. Like him so much more than Santon/Dummet

nice passage there

New to the forum? guess not then hehe - yep. There really is only one answer to that question

New to the forum?

who is the child next to pards?

"the goals are beginning to return for cisse" apparently

"Can I place a bet on Teaforthree today please"

Have more chance hoping for an own goal

Great article about Pardew after todays selection: Read here

My bet is on Santon

Pardew is probably gutted Jonas isnt here now. Get ready for Obertan time. Actually, get ready for Cisse or Shola on the wing

p.s. Image doesnt related to anything, just had to post it somewhere.

That has to be quote of the century.

Agree. I think Campbell will be another Chopra. Solid championship player. No more.

The Club can also announce that its Academy has been awarded Category One status - the highest ranking under the Premier League's Elite Players Performance Plan (EPPP).

Head coach finally realises that one of our most important players.................is actually a nice guy. What has he been doing for the past 2-3 years? Not talking to Hatem? What the fark is going on?

Thats like asking "How was Shola today?"
