Haha perfect

Daaamn you caught me just in time. Edited.

I tell you what like, I think I need to come off Twitter. The amount of insufferable bell ends on there is just becoming too much. If it wasn't our own during the Ashley era, it's every fucker else since that's ended. If there has been any level of abuse aimed at Bruce it has either been by a very small minority or has been absolute playground type insults. Fucking "inept cabbage head", fuck me, we'd all be having breakdowns if that's what's now being described as disgusting abuse. Steve Bruce actively lowered expectations on behalf of the regime which he served, because it suited both the custodians and himself as individuals with zero ambition. If staying in the Premier League was his only remit, then he was successful by the standards set by those same custodians, not of those who own the club, the fans. Which brings me to the whole delusional Geordie thing. What an absolute load of bollocks. Anyone who watches sport as a sport, wants the underdogs to succeed, they want people to win against the odds, unless it involves someone whom they perceive to represent them in some shape or form. If I were from Blyth and supported Blyth, I wouldn't not want them to win the league, the champions league or any cup, just because it's nigh on impossible to be achieved, doesn't mean you shouldn't long for it. It's only this new breed of customers that want to purely see entertainment that don't seem to get that. They get their views from the media, who (in turn) get their views through the coin they receive via the PL and their big hitters, also known as the self-proclaimed 'big 6'. The fact that this is defined as delusional means there is an issue in sport. That in life we should somehow accept average because some of us aren't allowed to achieve more than that. What a supremacist point of view. I don't know anyone who 'expects' any of these things, they simply desire it, and actually Newcastle United had been on the cusp of success for many a year before the Ashley era. That's without even highlighting the success, or lack of failure from our history prior to Ashley. This whole new thing of Newcastle being defined as a yo yo club is completely ignorant. Then these daft cunts in the media start making up shit about our fans and perpetuating this myth that we were somehow collectively, disgustingly abusive? I have no doubt there'll have been a minority out there coming out with loads of shit, but to generalise that to a fanbase who've had mediocrity, a lack of hope, a lack of ambition and most importantly a lack of effort rammed down our throat is farcical. These same DC's are the ones who'd tell the world that Geordies only wanted 11 Geordies and a Geordie manager prior to Rafa. The same DC's who perpetuate that Rafa was no better than Bruce. Where's your statisticians and OptaIndex now you odious fucking pricks. Most haven't watched us, or when they have, have attributed that one match to poor performance. Well form is temporary and class is permenant so if we continually perform like that, surely there's an issue with the coaching staff or manager, on either a personal, man management level or tactical level, or both? Nope. Always poor performance from the players, they're not good enough, apparently, despite being largely the same squad as under Rafa except with the addition of what 160million of signings? Or a net of around 100m is it? I mean by all means, question the ownership via their human rights records, question the players who've been playing, but this false perception of our fans and oversight that any other fans would be any different is shockingly bad reporting, that lacks validity and accuracy and frankly they should all fuck off. Cannot wait for a good manager to come in and show up these charlatans with the same squad. As for that fraud, I hope he never gets a job anywhere near football again. One of us? Get to fuck. #Rant

Aye, that's how I feel. I hope Fonseca or whoever we appoint basically sticks teo fingers up and says, watch us.

It's because in the build up to the 1999 cup final vs Man United, Metro radio adjusted this to have commentary of the Toons route to the final I believe.

Cheers, but honestly I had nowt to do with this display, other than throwing some ideas in the mix and tidying cupboard in preparation. Nice of you to say so though and I'll let the lads and lasses know. It's important to us that we reflect the mood rather than dictate it so on occasions such as this it's always great to get good feedback.

Just listen please. Out in Mantova at the moment. Lush.

Unusual request from me, but is there anywhere I can listen to the match online (bearing in mind I'm in Italy)? I'm pretty sure BBC Radio Newcastle doesn't tune into the match so not sure if there's anywhere els elike the club site or 5 live

Aye, several of us have all been chasing UPS and the manufacturers. 2 or 3 of the lads in particular spending a great deal of time on it. Will all be worth it in the end. NUWNBD.

You're not.

Cheers mate, really appreciate it!

Greg has always and will always be doing things in the interest of the supporters and the club by the way.

Haven't got enough pals on the board after I didn't share their opinion that everything was rosy

Somewhere aye

Amanda was up the step ladders like

They've put new speakers in like and they're much better.

Partial truths, smoke and mirrors.

Ultimately, there's more exciting and important things to be focusing on now. Easy for people to take the piss out of protests when they're trying their best within their physical and financial means to make a difference when the chips are down, but making political moves when everything is rosy I suspect is easy if you've stepped on enough or sucked up to enough people and you're that way inclined.

I agree

I actually fear he gets a more powerful role me. His comments the other week belittling protest efforts was piss-poor form and my interactions with him in the past don't bring me to the conclusion that he's a leader or a man of the people. He's intelligent and eloquent and has networked his way up, fair play for that. Just not my cup of tea stepping on others to get to the top.

I fear for those like Greg and Thomas who are there for the right reasons tbh. Call my a cynic but I reckon certain individuals will be in Alex's ear to tell him to make his moves now to get in with the club. The writing is on the wall here. First back on the board, then elected chair, then whatever comes of that with the club.

Well there's one less reason I need to tell people when they ask why I left.

Apologies. Thanks for the kind words like. We're just fans like all of you

Did little looking tbh. We have a roofless shed about 5 metres deep and 3 wide, which in itself, isn't thst big, but once youl fill it with probably around a tonne of materials, bamboo and plastic it becomes a bastard to organise Found a new place for the massive WATM surfer for now...
