Give it up Gallowgate End, you're never going to meet him.

Well said. Totally disconnected myself. Life's too short to engage with this bollocks.

Hi tubes.

Someone tell the thick twat there isn't a game on Saturday.

Really long way of saying he fucks dogs.

We don't really counter attack any more, we just launch it long. That's why the comparison with Liverpool and Leicester is a bit disingenuous. Is that down to us having poor quality players compared to those sides? It will be a factor certainly, but you also have to wonder if the coach is capable of actually designing methods to improve it. We have seen Brighton and Sheffield Utd improve their football significantly thanks to the direct input of their managers, you can't tell me that is down to them having better players. I suppose I should have said the 'main' difference. We're never going to construct a formula for rating every manager, but there is one factor that Bruce (and our previous managers) have had to deal with, which isn't the same problem at Sheffield United or Brighton. That's the pressure of being a 'big' club, with high expectations, historically low achievement over the last 60 years and a strong local involvement hungry for success. Our status as the great under-achievers pre-dates Ashley and Bruce. In terms of the combination of those pressures, we're quite unique. Bruce has managed that syndrome pretty well, and I'd say better than most. Expectations are non-existent at NUFC these days. That's why Bruce has the job.

Garth put Antonio as centre forward in his team of the week and said this about him

Pukki's a fucking arsehole

It's impossible to prove or disprove whether sustained boycott would work, since the vast majority of fans won't even at least fucking attempt it. Any protest that has affected Ashley's image or bottom line to any significant degree has always been met with a reaction from Ashley, whether it's a ramping up of PR campaigns saying a sale is imminent, media interviews from a guy who was once a hermit, player purchases, free tickets, whatever. We're seeing that reaction under not much pressure at all, how on earth anyone can say with certainty that half a season of sub 35k attendances wouldn't tip the balance in our favour is beyond me. Seems a very convenient opinion to hold when you "just love going to the match". Some of us used to love going to the match as well but won't support this voluntary glass ceiling the club has imposed on itself for over a decade now.

I'm furious about it tbh. Yet more divide and conquer tactics from the club to negate the effects of protest. And also makes geordies look poor / unprincipled / stupid. Another reason why it's a win-win for Ashley.

Fucking wankers.

fat cunt, dickhead, cabbage head

Think he means decisive #bruceapologist

We sure the ref didn't whistle? Thought he had.

Why you watching you hate the f***ers. Cos i feel like it. f***ing hypocrite If it makes you feel better. You're both divs, if that helps.

Some people really have the club they deserve like.

They won't thanks though

To be fair Frank was pretty good with updates on him the last couple of days. Sounded like he would play. Better to just start them and have a sub ready to come on if needed. Nah it's not though really, when I have other options that I know will play and are in good form. Thought there was a good chance of Abraham only playing around 20 mins or whatever and only getting 1 point.

Of fucking course Abraham is playing and has scored already, that's 20 points on my bench and fucking counting. Furious

Did someone request a drossbot?

Still fuming 15 points sat on me fucking bench man ffs.

Fuck's sake. Had 4 Palace / Bournemouth players. Started Zaha / Van Anholt who got 4 points between them as Van Anholt went off injured first half and Zaha got a point for a clean sheet. Meanwhile there are 12 points sat on my bench - Kelly for the clean sheet and Rico got a clean sheet bonus as he went off before the goal went in.

Six years i think since we sold someone of value in January, and that was Cabaye who went on strike to force a move. Unless I've missed someone? We've been in a relegation battle or chasing promotion every year since then. If the fat wanker thinks we're safe and wants to gamble then he might do.
