"For general queries please use [email protected]" There you go. Anyone with queries contact them there. It would be nice to let us know when you have, so we can see how many people can be bothered to get off their arses like the people who formed NUSC did.

I would reckon most of them are happy whining about it on here. There's quite a lot of concern being expressed about the motives and conception of NUSC too btw. Legitimate worries/questions are being asked on here, and on TT, and they haven't been addressed in any way shape or form. If you want to classify that as 'whining' then that's up to you. "most" Bollocks. A lot of people have raised issues. Fair enough. I'll repeat the above: "Out of interest, has anyone tried emailing their criticisms to True Faith or The Mag?"

"chatters while Rome burns" Too much of this on this thread. Some very childish attitudes towards NUSC. They may not have it right - yet, but some of the mud being slung their way is ridiculous.

Which bits of it dont resonate with you? Most of it. The parts that other people have mentioned above. These show a basic lack of understanding of the club. He's been reading Louise Taylor's articles.

We're emigrating to Perth leaving on Jan the 12th. Leave a message on here as I know two lads over there and we're going to meet up to watch the matches.

Regardless, winning matches will keep them off your back. I hate it when managers moan about the press or media. But even when we have, they are still ready to stick the knife in. In this case it's the British media building something up, then taking great pleasure in knocking it down. Hard. Oh I don't know about that. I thought his first and second sentences were very statesman like.

The analogy works well with the person being discussed.

No, it was John Barnwell who was on the end of those threats. So what did he threaten him with? Not one of the people who I was talking about. He didn't threaten violence, although he tried to shut down websites, sue them and the papers and ban them from the club - if he didn't like what they wrote. Obviously this had more effect locally. Seriously mate, as you are not a buffoon like some of the others, this is a serious comment [before I go to bed so I will answer tomorrow]. Do you REALLY think that people all over the country are bothered, and had even heard this stuff even if they had ? I would like someone with a bit of sense ie you, to explain to me what effect this had on anything, apart from motivating arseholes on phone-ins, southern journalists who hate Newcastle anyway, and supporters on other clubs message boards to "laugh" at the club. Get some backbone is what I say. I'm sure YOU don't think for a moment that the phone ins, the views of southern journos, and WUM's on other clubs message boards is indicative of what people in real life think about the club ? They don't give a toss mate, they really don't. The vast majority of them hadn't even heard of it, and even those that did who live in the real world, have more to occupy themselves and their lives. If anything, the reaction of those who's whole lives revolve around listening to radio phone ins and message boards instead of having a bit of a life in the real world, is what attracts so much mirth. And righly so as well. The vast majority of supporters all over the UK have been jealous as f*** about us for what we've done on the pitch in the last 15 years. I live out of the area, and I come across other fans every day of my life, and believe me, most of them have hardly heard of Shepherd or any other chairman and they don't give a toss about anything other than a clubs results on the pitch. The bit in bold I agree with 100%. As for other fans MBs, phone-ins etc - I really couldn't give a s***, though the constant lies do sometimes rile me. As you know, I have an opinion on Shepherd that will NEVER change. Yes, we had good footballing times, I completely agree (although those can also be attributed to the manager), but he did a whole lot of other things that go against in what I BELIEVE IS RIGHT AND WRONG. I've been priviledged? to see and hear some of the things he did that others didn't get to see, some first hand. Those things all coupled together made me despise the man, no matter what he did in footballing terms. The stuff he is spouting in the article is ridiculous and a poor PR attempt at changing peoples perceptions of him. I respect what you're saying, but you will never change my mind about him.

Plenty of people have had a go at the current owner, I'm not surprised that it's gone over your head though. whats that got to do with it being the biggest crisis in 30 years ? you just get dumber all the time. mackems.gif People are commenting on the things he said in his interview, giving personal opinions. There are plenty of Ashley threads around.

Erm, no, there isn't. If there was any more I would have posted them. It isn't a very long interview to be honest (only half a page to be exact) and I've listed and described all the interesting and debatable points. The only other things he talked about was the fish fingers at Grimsby being the best he's ever tasted (and how we drenched them in champagne when we won promotion in 93), that Shearer "was the best pound for pound signing in football" (fair comment), that Keegan left the first time round because of his strained relationship with the Halls as well as the club becoming a PLC (common knowledge), how impressed he was with Gullit when he came into his office and resigned after that Sunderland match ("That show's his stature. he's one of the most honourable men in football.") and how the press always has the last word ("I don't hold grudges, apart from one or two troublemakers."). read "those bastards that didn't write nice things about me and who I couldn't control. I know that he threatened certain journos several times.

this Yes definitely this.

Never has a word been so over used than vibrant. I laughed it was used to describe Hull. Now it should be retired after being used to describe Shepherd. Does he seriously expect us to believe that?

Joined Nikos Dabizas' team, Larissa (Greece) in the summer. Thought he wanted to be with his kids in London?

Nothing, just nothing.

Leicester was a hell hole and we always ended up having to fight our way to the car/van/mini bus. We parked near the Leicester Tigers ground the season we avoided relegation and ended up going to the hospital to pick one lad up who had been beaten senseless. Aye, I remember a woman being punched in front of her toddler and seeing a bloke pulled back out of an ambulance and given another kicking. I also remember Bill Borrows writing that it was just a little scuffle in 4-4-2 magazine (I think it was called that then). He f***ing hates us, the Manc prick. For me the worst game for tension that season was the 1-0 win against Portsmouth at home. That was when we really avoided relegation. Yep, horrible little skinny twat. Fairly sure he was pushed down the leagues after that game.

that was partly offset by it being one of the best/funniest seasons i've ever had for going to away games. ipswich,watford,leicester being highlights and bournemouth in the cup hitting legendary status. that season was only equalled byt he following promotion season. Aye I remember the Leicester game, eyes being put out and Leicester not being punished at all.

Looks like I am wrong then. Doesn't take away from what he's doing now though.

The fact that Keegan didn't seem (from his comments) to have much of a say on his appointment. Oh and he's from Spurs. What comments were they? Can't remember exactly and haven't got time to look for them, but I seem to remember Keegan not knowing much about Hughton coming in - may be wrong though.

Are you preparing us Dave?

He's also communicated with the fans better than Ashley has during this mess.

mackems.gif You see what you've done Dave?
