Doctor Zaius

He's finished. Wont win another game here. We're that bad.

This is amongst the worst games of football ive ever watched, at any level. We're pathetic and they're toothless. They completely lack quality like and we're not interested in attacking.

Most meaningful contribution in a Newcastle shirt, there tonight. Crap signing so far.

The Hoss. La Liga Team of the Year wasnt he?

At a guess, I'd say that ITK/Journalist tidbits of 'soon' and 'there'll be movement within a few weeks/months' comes from sources within the buyer side, who have remained 'confident'. Why would they be anything other than confident? They're hardly going to be leaking that there is a few holes in our case, we're on shaky ground but we're still hopeful. I think more than a few people are setting themselves up to get their fingers burned, exactly the way Caulkin did. Anyway, I'll say no more on the subject.

So Masters confirms arbitration has begun. What happened to NUFCs legal position being so strong, so certain that it would never even get to court? I thought the PL were so backed into a corner, there's no chance they'd want to go through arbitration? The PL seem pretty confident of their legal position like, regardless of the 'supreme confidence' of the buyers. The fact its gone to arbitration doesnt fill me with any sort of confidence like, nor does it suggest that the piracy dealings had anything to do with the decision either.

If Ashley has enough affinity for NUFC to keep attending post takeover never mind keeping a stake it would make the contempt for the club he's displayed and the level of neglect under his reign even more astonishing.

He's so, so poor like. Decision making amongst the worst ive seen amongst any forward player for us. He's slow to react, doesn't particularly put himself about, doesnt appear to have much technique and has no particular standout qualities that set him apart from the poorest of PL footballers. He occasionally shows the odd neat touch and bit of vision that you'd expect as a basic from an elite level footballer but thats about it. He's been played as a striker, out wide and in the hole and he's never looked natural in any of those positions. Its not a case of bedding in, its not a case of him being young and needing time either. He's had 60 or so games for us and he's only occasionally looked average, maybe once of twice has he looked decent.

They're absolutely shite like. Just scraping past Bristol Rovers today wont have done their confidence any good either.

Was good today like, obviously apart from those two sitters. Still think he can play a role for Steve Bruces Newcastle. The bars and pubs of Newcastle being shut has probably done him a world of good.

Such a miserable football team. Arsenal are shite and Carroll should have buried them but fuck me, we're dull.

Carroll should have buried those like

Carroll could actually serve a decent purpose in this team but Bruce hasn't a clue how to even use him, a striker from basically the 90s

Thanks for that common sense response. Much appreciated. In my own defence, when you are at "the other end of the spectrum" on here, you have to be accurate and 'very certain' in how you express things, as otherwise you get "drowned out" in (what seems like at times) a sea of endless negativity, none of which is factually based but is all part of an automatic 'disenfranchised' expression of accepted - and expected - bad outcomes. It is difficult to accept that . . so I don't ! :lol: A lot of the negativity is based entirely in fact. The fact being that this has been going on close to a year now and we're still not under new ownership. Despite unshakable buyer confidence, a supposed legal team akin to the fuckin Avengers and twitter accounts with inside knowledge of the diplomatic dealings of sovereign states one fact remains clear. We are still owned by Mike Ashley and that doesnt look like its going to change in at least the short term. Honestly, if this goes through, and you have your day of reckoning, fair play. I'd love for Manor Park to be right all along but for now, I don't begrudge anyone having a healthy dose of skepticism being honest.

Yeah he’s very confident - in touch with Staveley etc too A few of my mates who haven’t been confident are now after this! Thats all we've heard for about 10 months from a range of people. Granted, its dipped as low as 'still confident' but seemingly, despite all the confidence in the world, here we are, one journalist saying one thing, another saying another and still seemingly no further forward.

Dont think we're even going to bother with the charade of 'trying' this time around. Bruce has basically said we might get one measly loan. Might be refreshing not to have to listen to the usual 'we tried' shite.

I think, only because Antonio has been out hasnt he? Haller has looked shite everytime I've seen him like. 10 goals in 42 is no ideal for 40M. To get 25M back isnt too bad. Mind, he's still better than our 3 in 53 maestro.

Apparently that MoneyMikeAshley account is new and parodying the old MoneyMikeAshley account, which of course was parodying Mike Ashley. Parodies of parodies, this takeover rubbish truly has peaked

So MoneyMikeAshley had insider knowledge of a major diplomatic settlement between two sovereign nations back in September that has only become public knowledge in the last few days. Please man, such tripe.

Truly pathetic footballer like.

NUFC twitter truly is a shitshow though. So many characters, so much attention seeking

Dyer was sensational that day

As shite as we were, I thought Brighton were class against us. Moved the ball really well.

Surely Lennon has to go like. They were by far the better team today but still

That letter is utter fucking tripe. So poorly written too. The whole thing stinks of that cretin Steve Wraith like. NCSL are an embarrassment like.
