Why? Their own choice to support a club that has no intentions of success. Nowadays if you pay a lot of money to watch us then I have no sympathy. Also, it would just be typical to snatch a draw or lose narrowly (which people would still think is like a win) after yesterday. As said above, he will then be king again. I hope man utd batter that sack of shit.

For his sake I hope he goes. But will all the stupid cunts even notice that NUFC have forced out another very gifted player at the expense of mediocrity? Will they fuck. All people in this country care about is what Brendan Rodgers has to say and how much possession Liverpool had. Fucking hate English football.

I absolutely agree with you Wullie. I know lads who are 3-4 years younger than me and they just haven't a clue. They have no problem with Pardew, very little resentment towards Ashley and just lap up this mediocrity and ridicule served up on a weekly basis. One lad even told me after the match that I was a 'fool' if I thought Pardew was to blame for today- this was just the PERFECT loss for Pardew, especially the perfect derby loss. Unlike the previous harrowing 0-3's (where people still weirdly accepted it?) we got a couple of sniffs at goal and on the odd occassion merely tested the 'keeper. That was it, no thundering the woodwork, missing a PK, shots cleared off the line etc. Just a few half chances. And, to top it off, we lose by one goal late on. It was too perfect BECAUSE we now have an audience who will accept that. No pressure will be applied to Pardew because of this, in the eyes of everyone we have played well and were 'unlucky' and 'lacked a bit of passion'. We basically have 50,000 Pardew's in SJP watching NUFC. Just look at the Hull match and the ridicule protesters got. I remember after the first 0-3 (that's how bad it is now, 'the first') we played Liverpool at SJP two weeks later and lost 0-6. Pardew played a criminally high line against one of the best attacks in the league and failed to adjust it. It was truly helpless being in the stadium that day. No one cared. I was in the Gallowgate and lost it, stood up shouting at Pardew and calling him a cunt etc, everything you could think of. People around me were going bananas, saying 'aye well he's not the one on the pitch, he just picks the players man'. Even after I tried to protest with the derby defeat weeks earlier no one was interested, people just didn't want to hear it and preferred to just sit there in silence with their arms folded. There is no passion anymore, which is the ironic part of it all considering how all we are ever fucking told is how we need more passion etc. Literally the disease of English football is that myth of 'more passion'. Imagine in the days before Ashley (or even in his first season) if we were getting spanked at home to the mackems? There would be full on riots, the manager would probably be forced to resign, or if he didn't he would be gone if he lost the game after. People had a lot of pride in the club and didn't stand for this- this was unimaginable. No one seems to know or remember the days of the Champions League nights (home and away), or our famous cup runs, or the general excitement that a few wins could generate around the city. I am simply in shock that we are now talking about our 4th consecutive loss to those small-time idiots. If we were just genuinely dire, but had the right people at the club with the right intentions then I would still live and breathe NUFC, I would still die for that black and white- how good we are has never been something that questions your loyalty as a Newcastle fan, it has only made it stronger in the past. But for the club to basically withdraw from competing, to isolate itself from honoring what was once a very proud history of competing and near-misses to success is simply deflating. It's absolutely heartbreaking. As people above have nailed it; people like you and I won't be going back for a long time by the looks of it. By the time that supporters who know the true meaning of NUFC return (if at all) then it will be too late. The club will have been passed over to generations who don't know what success is- 7th in the league will be like winning it to a lot of them. A loss to the mackems will simply be followed up with 'just unlucky, we're still the better club'. Nothing will mean anything and all that will be talked about is this totally unjustified, unhealthy devotion to the club that involves accepting whatever is served up by the club and never questioning it (and if you do, then you are 'disloyal', you are a 'traitor'....you're as good as a mackem). The club is dead, lads.

Depressing over this starting to set in now. How utterly miserable.

Foreigner to boot. Doesn't understand the nature of the derby. People will say that. He will be targeted for this and branded a coward and gutless, and, of course, not understanding the 'passion'.

This guy has literally fucking ruined the club. I'm for some reason watching the coverage of it on SS1. It is absolutely sickening to see them celebrating like that in St James'. I feel sick to the bottom of my stomach- mostly because no one cares.

Funny thing about that is that he is not bothered one bit.

That's truly depressing to think so..

He really is an awful footballer. Very one-footed and only has one idea for beating a player- try and skin him on the outside. He doesn't put in a good cross either which makes him even more painful to watch. Went to college with a lad who player with him up to reserve level at NUFC. He said he just couldn't believe it when SA got a call up to England U21's and got kept on at the club. On performances like today you can see why. If he got chosen over me I'd be fucking raging.

Living on the edge, are we? I can teach you.

Will get on Man Utd -1 tbh. Maybe even -2.

Literally word for word I agree with you, TT. I too won money from the match and I didn't even blink at it. Everything you've said has nailed it. It's devastating to be moving on from this club tbh, as it's been a core passion and identity of mine since the age of 6, but now I simply is a waste of your life investing so much emotion and time into it. There is no reward, and never will be until the club changes ownership. It really is heartbreaking that I am emotionally unavailable to the club any more, but that is the way it has gone. As a club, Newcastle United is everything I despise about modern football, and for that I simply cannot support them any more. If the support as a whole were revolting against this disgrace of an existence the club has turned into then I would still care- but it is totally, totally unbearable to read and see all of the support that the regime is getting. The lack of education about the club, the lack of ambition people share with the management, the complete apathy for the club and lack of understanding about football as a game- I simply cannot relate to any of it. I cannot relate to the fans, I cannot relate to the club in any way possible. It is not NUFC any more, it is Sports Direct FC.

There are no positives. Even if you are enough of a fool to still support this club, there are literally no positives. Our seasons over now- not that we were targeting a successful on anyway. Don't waste your energy anymore man.

They had about 5 clear-cut opportunities, didn't they? This is why I've now given up on the club. It's absolutely pointless. As we all said before the match, he won't be under any pressure if we lose this. Our support is far too fucking stupid to realise anything. 'Onwards and upwards'? Fuck off you pathetic cunt, have a bit of ambition or standards in your life you shot cunt. I hope all of them have an absolutely shit Christmas like. Fuck this club man. It's an absolute joke. No one will object to this because apparently we played well. This is the sort of club and fans we're dealing with now. An then you look at the East Stand and see that unbearable Sports Direct crap plastered on it and you realise, there is no point. That is why this club exists and quite frankly, I don't want to be a part of it anymore.

Just no excuses anymore.

Fuck him and this club. I'm fucking done with this shit, fucking rot in hell NUFC, SAFC, Ashley and Pardew. They all deserve each other. This is truly the last straw.

The cunt probably thinks we've played amazing so far and will be shocked when we lose this. This is all set up for a perfect 'we was just unlucky' excuse and no one will Nat an eyelid.

Still time for a thrashing (0-3), all they need is one goal

Why attack when we can let the mackems score?

Cunt

Pure torture this

Fucking shitting it now. Fucking hell I feel physically ill.

"We was playing wif a rookie keeper and it cost us." He's been prepping his fall guy all week. Yep. He will have absolutely no problem with shamelessly declaring Alnwick as the scapegoat for our loss. But no one will question it or see it as unprofessional- it will simply be 'oh look at poor Alan Pardew having no goalies and having to play this crap guy in goals, what a poor man, oh he must be so upset...those nasty Geordies are so mean to him I hope his feelings are ok'.

Normally my mind is racing about this match in the days and especially night before. This time? Not really. I can't get it out of my head still, and I'm dreading it- but I don't have that desperation running through me, totally desperate for a win, and unable to bear the thought of the match. After the crushing disappointment of the last games, and my fierce resentment towards Pardew for it all, I just can't get excited about it. It's too much energy wasted hoping, praying, and imagining wildly celebrating a victory tomorrow- but nonetheless, I would love nothing more than to finally beat those horrible bastards. I'm so sick of this club suffering a miserable, pathetic existence that just one derby win will be a nice break from the bleakness. If we play with that very rare intensity we see every few months (couple of matches a year) and get at them from the off then we can beat them. If we're positive, playing it fast and on the deck- and have the right players playing, which will dictate this to an extent- then we can score first and really look to shake them up. Sadly, I think we'll get comfortably beaten again. At the end of the day it's Pardew in charge, and it's Pardew vs Poyet. If they score first (and early) then we're finished. I think the last two derbies at home we've gone in 0-2 down at HT? Correct me if I am wrong, though! To add to the dread of it all I'm seeing way too many idiotic fans saying rubbish like 'whatever happens we'll always be the bigger club and we'll support the lads, howay we are toon army no matter what' etc. So I really don't think another humiliation will shake the nodding dogs in the stands. It's going to be a long one.
