The best way to overcome this injustice is to thump them at St James'

How cringeworthy was that gesturing to the chairman?! What a tit.

Cannot believe the pundits on channel 5 defended that shit. Was the worst refereeing performance I have ever seen. Our lads did us proud and showed that they truly are United now. As previously mentioned hopefully this will spur us on.

This yours Hezza? Some bet if so like Aye mate. Think everyone I know is sick of me gloating like Wouldn't care but it's just money I could do with as opposed to money I can enjoy Still...cannot complain!

??? might do. Btw this P5rd4w is a shocking thread title

Brilliant return for 50p . That bet was going to the death you have to thank the added time and of course super Al Aye. I wasn't even keeping an eye on my bets. Just happened to check my account this morning out of curiosity. Does Pards have twitter?

He's actually a half decent manager I don't know why everyone is such a little jumped up dick in here...

To echo the sentiments of many this is a quality, interesting read. I understand the disillusioned members on here and for what it's worth I too have been under Ashley until Rafa came to us. I've been actively involved since around the age of 16 with virtually all new fan initiatives / groups and despite my disillusion I feel it's given me a good scope of our fan base, as well as this forum has. My main interest has always been the preservation of Newcastle United as it is to anything I love. So there have been times I will battle against the club and show it tough love but I will equally back them when the time is right. Fickle as it may be... Our fan base concerns me if I am honest but then I believe ours is no different to any other British clubs'. It's what i like to call the Sky generation that come through. More interested in thr entertainment aspect than the sporting achievement or pride in your home town. That's not to say they aren't proud or whatever mind. Without rambling too much I 100% agree that modern football is pretty wank. English football needs to be modelled on Germany's and fast. Interesting that this subject has come up. After our Cardiff victory I debated with a friend of mine that English football will implode when fans collectively become too disillusioned to subscribe to sky sports and stop going to games because they're sick of overpaid players who have no link to the people they're paid to represent and because the sport is just another corrupt, capatilist business. He argued totally for Sky and even suggested it took more ownership. Maybe that's a difference from being a ST holder who goes away occasionally to being someone who opts to watch from home. Gladly this thread seems to suggest it's not simply just that. I have so much to say on this subject but for me the below is as best as I can summarise before I fall asleep with a Samsung attached to my cheek... For me, a best mate of mine summed it up for me around 10/12 years ago now when we were out having a curry with our Dad's (long time friends and ST holders) and all the other lads after a home game. As always (at a post match curry) we had a discussion that was thought provoking and insightful despite being maybe a little bit drunken. The question was something like what does NUFC or the match mean to you? (Not too different to the question being asked here.) His reply was perfect and will forever stay with me: "The players don't matter a toss, nor do they manager or the directors but what matters is that every Saturday (or whatever day the match is now on) those 11 men in Black and White stripes don't just represent my team, my club or my city. They represent me for 90 minutes. So all I expect is pride, honesty, hard work and respect what they represent. We now have that under Rafa. So for me...as long as the fat fuck in charge stays out the picture we can once again be proud and enjoy. "We don't demand a club that wins we demand a team that tries"

What a fucking top guy. In the same mould as Sir Bob for me. Anyways, it's not calculated. It's Rafamatics. Simples.

sweet Jesus

I wouldn't worry Shinton. The Pardew thread is probably the most used thread for 90% of our regular posters and apparently you're a freak if you don't agree to whinge about him 24/7

Win this today and it will really trow down the gauntlet on those searching for promotion. Come on Toons!

Aye. The sun needs permission to talk to Rafa. Especially if it wants to be part of his universe.

Power cut at SoS or have they not paid their bills?

...and it will only get better.

I like to think that Ashley has finally seen the light in having arguably the best and most capable man of turning the club around at the helm. But who knows. For me...We are weakest up top if anywhere at present (as in PL quality). Which is strange given we're obviously scoring plenty

Hopefully to be honest. I think we have a very good squad now for this level and to cement ourselves in the Premier League we'll need at least 3 strong signings. One at CB, CM and CF. That'd just be a starting point. I suspect many will make a reasonable step up with the right coaching they are now receiving but not to the point of being a top 10 PL side. They'll serve their purpose but will need to be replaced in time. It's all about steady progress and not too much overwhelming change. Hopefully we've passed that stage now. I have so much love and respect for Rafa like. Has literally turned this club.
