    It's hilarious, when you think of some of the players we coudl list. Yet on the other hand, equally depressing considering we've won fuck all in recent times.
  4. Don't know what cinema you go to but you're not supposed to stand up in there either. But I can just imagine him thinking it was great craic to throw popcorn at people from the back whilst talking all the way through the movie. It's a social norm to be quiet and enjoy a film sitting down, it was a social norm for blokes to be able to go to the match, have a few beers, swear and stand and sing but that is the social norm that's now being 'made' unacceptable, and it's not right. Whilst I agree that if you want to be seated you should be able to, you should be able to stand. Swearing uncontrollably with women and children around is unnacceptable, but swearing is part and parcel of the game and the experience, so people should expect to hear some when they attend. We're blokes, it's what we do. Football used to be a place where blokes could go after a long, hard week and release their stress by showing their local team some support. Now it's just full of money grabbing wankers intent on making it an entertainment business.
  5. It would make sense if the family enclosure was sold out all the time. More often than not the singing section was totally sold out last year and then the Milburn stand L7 had spaces all around.
  6. I should point out that I wasn't generalising all old people to be boring twats there, for the record. It was a little bit rant-tastic that, but what I'm getting at, is that for anyone to suggest that allocated standing areas should not be created (regardless of whether it's safe standing or in front of a seat) is nothing short of ridiculous. It is a human right to be able to stand, or walk, or jump even, so why should you be forced to sit? The powers that be, have simply pushed for it to become a social norm that you sit at football matches. The main reasoning behind this is Hillsbrough and money. So, other than being able to charge a fortune for a ticket, a one off occurrence which was the result of poor policing/overcrowding and metal fences is all they have to argue with. How many stadiums over the course of a year hold gigs and concerts where people stand at their seats dancing to Bon Jovi or rocking out to a bit of Oasis? It's safe to do so then, and that's people dancing around. So standing cannot be that much of a danger. It's not dangerous in the slightest, so long as it is well managed/policed. Might I add, that I don't think the solution is to stand in front of those who wish to be seated. However, I think it's totally unfair to not feel the slightest bit sympathy to those of us who've been moved 3 or 4 times (possibly more) over the last several seasons. The fans of this club have been treat like shit, and for many throwing the ticket in won't suffice. They want to show their support by being at the ground, and standing next to one another as a group, chanting and singing for their heroes every weekend. It's not like you cannot stream any match you want or watch it on the TV. People go to the match for the atmosphere, yet half the people there complain about those who go all out to create an atmosphere. Whilst I agree there is an element of charver mongs and people with no respect, these tend to be the knackers that help generate the atmosphere. All in all there should be seperate sections for likeminded people, whether it be standing sitting, creating a noise, or sipping tea and biscuits discussing how shit we are. I know for a fact, I can go to the match and my Dad's mates will tell me about stories being chased by Arsenal at Kings Cross in the 70's and 80's and how the Geordies took whatever end, and how we totally outsung opponents and made amazing atmospheres, and it's what we're world renowned for. Yet there sdoes seem to be a growing minority that seem to think for the youth of today to do it is totally unacceptable. That's what fucks me off. If you want to be entertained fuck off to the cinema in my opinion.
  7. I can pretty much guarantee (?) that 95% of season ticket holders breach at least one of tlhose terms and conditions every single season. I'm on my phone so can't be arsed to type my full opinion out, but what I will say is that this whole debate is just another issue that plays part in destroying the 'beautiful' game. There's too many old, miserable, boring twats these days who forget what it was like to be 21, full of drink with your mates and chanting for your heroes on the terraces. It's fine for them to tell their stories of being chased, etc but now it's totally unacceptable for people to stand and sing. Fuck off man.
  8. Seen this coming for weeks and weeks but it still hurts none the less. Nolan was my favourite NUFC player int he current squad, but he's been move on. Enrique was probably my next favourite and he's been moved on. They're trying to move Barton on and to be honest all that's left out of personal favourites for me is Tiote and Coloccini. Coloccini will have been given a decent enough contract and th captains armband or dare I say it he could have so easily been away also. Surprisingly enough, i thought Tiote would be the first out the door with someone like Chelsea in for him but he's the one that's remained here. We had no contingency plan for Carroll, and we scraped through unscathed. It seems to me that they believe they can easily do it again with the loss of key squad members this summer and I hope to God it works but eventually one of these gambles will go tits up and we'll be relegated. I'm so glad there's so much shit in the league to give us a reasonable chance of not being in a relegation scrap. However, one thing I would say is that the promoted sides have forward momentum - we've lost all ours in one transfer window. I don't hate Jose for this, I would probably do the same if I were him. He may love the club, but they're certainly not going to match his ambition at the moment. I don't mind where I work - but if I seen the company going backwards and making decisions I deemed stupid then I'd most likely leave too. I'm just pissed off it's Liverpool again. I'm pissed off that we have the potential to become the usual laughing stock with more mismanagement. There is obviously the potential that we also wont be, and we'll be able to laugh at everyone else, but given my lack of knowledge on our new signings, I'm not sitting to hopeful going into this season (and I'm normally Mr Optimistic.) :-[

    Shola Ameobi

    At the end of the day you cannot blame Shola for any of this -it's the people above him. He tries and he puts his body on the line, he'll play anywhere as long as it's in Black and White and he won't be on massive money. How many of us say we just want to see a team put the effort in we don't care if they're frustratingly average of shit? Shola is frustratingly average but he's dedicated and that in itself is something to for us to be glad about. People hate Shola without good reason too abd many do it to jump on the bandwagon. I know I'll be chanting his name on Saturday, even if it is at a wedding receptuon.
  10. I'm going to show a bit of blind faith here and say we'll win 2-1. Think it'll be a backs to the wall and come out fighting job.

    Season Tickets

    Just received my ST package. Relieved to see it's here, but fucking pissed off with what it's came in. Mike just give me my fucking card and let me go to the game, don't give me all of your cheap, shitty advertising or your worthless excuse of a way to appease the fans. Just fuck off to London and don't come back you useless, horrible, fat, sweaty, irritating, arrogant, idiotic, unbeleivable, cretin of a sack. Seriously, you are a grade 'A' cunt.

    Shola Ameobi

    I've been going since I'm 5. I've been a season ticket holder or around 10 years, and I want him to stay, so fuck off. Shola may be frustratingly average, but he's Newcastle United and believe it or not he tries. Furthermore, he is - without doubt, our second best striker, so until this useless fat cunt of a horrible pricking twat of a chairman fucks off, I'll stick with him over having fuck all else. Thanks.

    Alan Pardew

    Northern gimp is 200% correct.
  15. Sweet fucking jesus. We are right spackers if this is true.
  16. Tiote will teleport there from Ghana man., holding one of Marcels goats and eating his chicken.
  17. Mentally weak sounds worrying. Our crowd can be quite fickle and volatile at times. Can see this being an issue if he starts poor...
  18. Would love it if he absailed onto the pitch from a chopper at kick off vs Arsenal. Each and every Gooner would drop their bate and the cloud of stench would lead us to a Yohan Cabaye debut goal.
