Can't believe how many people have voted for Shepherd

A poor attempt to get a big thread. What an utterly ridiculous statement.

The point in bold. Do anyone really think he'll stop dipping his fingers into the till? People need to realise that we would have ended up in a simiar mess under Shepherd. Ashley might have completely f***ed up, but at least he's left us debt free. Don't want Shepherd within a million miles of the place. Yep, being debt free is great. We just so happened to be relegated of course, but never mind that. Facts are they're both s*** in their own way. We probably need someone who's not either of them. Don't get me wrong Dave, I'm not trying to support Ashley. I just think that either way, with either bloke, we would have ended up in a right fucking mess. To make positives out of Shepherd's reign, just because Ashley has done this is nonsense. Shepherd should not even be allowed to be linked to the club.

Calm down. It's annoying though how they keep us in the dark all this time but as soon as someone makes a positive claim for a change they're straight out denying it. I was just thinking that myself. Llambias must have done more 'communicating' in that statement, than he did all during last season.

Ha, i received that via text about 5 minutes after we got relegated... Still f***ing dark here Dawn is about to break. and shes a big girl Dirty bastard

A quote that's quite true- "the night is darkest before the dawn".

if thats right i cant see ours changing at all, we sit about mid table in that lot That's we'll probably end up at the end of next season

Anyone know of a torrent doing the rounds? I'm over in Oz and haven't got Foxtel.

There has been some good stuff written on this thread, especially about the Keegan promotion team. But, that won't ever happen again. Those players actually gave a shit, they actually cared (most of them) and showed it. They still show it know when you see them interviewed. Times have moved on, players are paid too much and very few will actually care, when Shearer retired he was one of the last of a dying breed. I'm sure we'll get some decent players in, some from the Champ and lower divs, but don't expect the same attitude from them.

This is either bullshit or Shearer must know about it. If they haven't told him and he finds out while he's negotiating, then I should imagine he'll blow his stack and walk out. Something not quite right with this.

Agree with this. His passing was way off. but he embarrassed Nolan, Lovenkrands and Guthrie - all of whom are substantially younger - with the amount of effort he put in. I can't understand why Butt seems to be copping more flak than the other three. His experience would be invaluable in the Championship, especially if we're going to bring some of the younger players through, as would Duffs.

That looks like it was taking in Munchies at about 3am

They may be a chance that he was looking out for it, there were murmurings last week about Nolans part in Taylors goal.

So who is he?

Don't get me wrong, the players take the blame. It just got me thinking about why there wasn't any more noise.

....according to the fat twat on Setanta (who is he BTW - Pat someone?) "The self appointed, best fans in the world let their team down today. It was quiet, they let their team down and they let Alan Shearer down". Also noticed some ad in a scouse accent saying he wasn't that desperate to move to Newcastle. So did we, did we let the team down?

That must be a the best bit of advice given to anyone. Ever.

We played the best f***ing football I've seen in ages and every single player puts in their performance of the season, and "we only have ourselves to blame"? Yes, we could have won any number of games this season if our 'superstars' had been bothered. HW is a cock, no more no less, but to blame him for this mess is ridiculous

Ooops, sorry again then News is sketchy when you haven't got a TV and live down under.

I suggested that earlier. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if that's what's happening. At least MotD have been honest. What were Shearer's thoughts? Sorry must have missed it. I thought that Kinnear had openly admitted he was picking the team in one or two interviews?

Been reading this thread with interest as being out of ther country it provides me with a more accurate reflection on what happened. One question to some people on this thread: Does anyone seriously believe that it's Hughton actually making these decisions? From what I've read it seems like JK is doing the decision making while watching it on TV. Not sticking up for anyone, just something to think about when the blame game starts over the next two weeks.

I've had a season ticket since '86, so have a seen a few ups and downs. The difference with this time is the money at stake. If we go down here it will set the club back 10 years I've also just given up my season ticket as we've just emigrated to Australia. We haven't had a TV since mid Jan and I can tell you that I was so pissed off with the PL and NUFC that I haven't missed watching the matches one bit. Just to put the PL in perspective to what relegation would mean worldwide, nevermind financially in the UK - if we go down, I (and most of the rest of the world), won't see NUFC play football again until they come back up.

Yes it was. I can confirm he's a complete mong. He also hates us more than anything. Met him in Yarm several times. One of those mutants with a chip on their shoulder who can't take it that we couldn't cae less about them.
