Interpolic

Don't even know tbh, can't get off the fence about this. It certainly wouldn't hurt as much as last time.

I'm still struggling to give a shit like, I wouldn't be happy either way but I've become used to being unhappy about NUFC the last 5 years.

"Be careful what you wish for" is becoming my least favourite phrase.

Ashley's done such an ace job of dampening expectations as well. When I was a kid it was almost impossible to get a ticket unless the lad sitting next to my dad was on holiday or something. That all changed quite a lot when we expanded the stadium but generally demand still tended to exceed supply and if someone had a spare ticket going it was a big deal and you'd take it in a shot. Nowadays you have a situation where a lot of the die-hards have dropped off having been ultimately sold a lie under Hall and seen it followed up with absolute humiliation as a Newcastle fan under Ashley. Unfortunately these fanatics seem to have been replaced with happy clappers there for a day out, rather than fans who want to contribute to the atmosphere and make up for lost time in the sense they couldn't get a ticket for years. The result is the morgue you see/hear/"experience" on a matchday now. The incredibly difficult issue you have now is 45k+ willing to attend regardless and very few of them with any desire to kick up a fuss as it's their day out and "support the lads". It's an argument that is almost impossible to deal with, you know the feeling when you get into a conversation about anything and the other person clearly doesn't understand the bigger picture? After a few attempts you just give up, it's not worth doing and people will do what they do. Protests are incredibly difficult for anyone to organise when you've got nearly 50 thousand people in the ground not quite realising or willing to realise how much they've been fucked over. Maybe it's that psychological thing where people convince themselves they got a good deal and didn't get ripped off, I forget the term now. Whole thing's fucked. NUFC are cursed for various reasons. The key now for campaigners is getting fans interested again that had become disinterested.

I hope they report me to the police for hurting their feelings, the cunts.

The only thing I find incredible is that some morons will fall for it. Aye that's what I mean tbh, it's incredible that they think they can get away with it and some will still go for it. Anyone with a brain who has been paying the slightest bit of attention will realise that they're now trying to play it both ways in the most shameful way possible. Their "charm offensive" the last few days has been some of the worst stuff yet, they've gone from being silent to openly lying to and manipulating people yet again for their own means and it's fucking rank.

It's quite incredible how they're trying to turn this back on the fans now that their gamble looks like fucking up, despite the fact that their gamble meant condemning the fanbase to yet another wasted half-season (at best, relegation at worst). They're even worse when they're trying to "engage" rather than saying nowt, the absolute wankers.

Me too: http://i.imgur.com/GGhsiTx.png

This is it, I've not been able to fully want us to go down but they're really fucking testing me now with this transparent bullshit. Howay AO, kill the fucker now you've got him wobbling.

I used to do that like, was fucking stupid.

We've tried that and that's no fun either.

It's fucking ridiculous, they've completely negated any good work done in the transfer market the last few years with this brainless bullshit.

Convenient timing for this "news", don't doubt the legitimacy of it whatsoever.

Fucking ridiculous.

Was trying to find the worst PL losing streak, the mackems lost 20 in a row once? http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/premier-league/records Edit: that's inclusive of 2 seasons, with a season in the Championship in the middle.

It's incredible it's came to this like, serves them right for getting complacent and putting a hyped-up ape in charge while shifting some of our best players for good measure.

My line in my sig hasn't changed in years You keep saying that and you're probably not wrong but it's clearly impossible to organise, so people are doing stuff that's realistic instead.

Absolutely gutted I didn't put 5-10 quid on us going down at 100/1 now, just didn't get around to it but knew those odds were far too good.

Just gonna turn up on the day and get a ticket I think, few of my mates coming down. If there's anyone off here going who fancies a pint let iz kna.

Waste of hope, tbh. We're definitely gonna lose them all. I'm still sitting on the fence and saying I don't give a shite either way. Can't quite summon the enthusiasm to hope we go down but know next season in the top league will be the usual rubbish unless Ashley buckles and sells.

Didn't even realise it was that close at the bottom now, fucking hell.

Also find it hilarious how it's suddenly our club again now everything's completely fucked and we look like going down if the other clubs can get enough points.
