Interpolic

I read until the end of the username.

He released a statement saying the club was for sale for £100m in 2009, 11 years later and he's still here. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/8088840.stm Remember this? "Interested parties should contact Newcastle United at [email protected] (or Keith Harris at Seymour Pierce) for further details"

Aye its great, think there's a movie being made about it with Fassbender playing the mad Dutch coach Watched this last night based on the recommendation on here. Very good - interesting, funny and ridiculously uplifting Was a bit like Cool Runnings

Gonna take me a while to heal I reckon

Oh there's another one - we once didn't buy a player on a permanent deal for FOUR CONSECUTIVE FUCKING TRANSFER WINDOWS.

Just found this pearler, Llambias prattling on about how expensive it is to buy a scoreboard. (Swear the insufferable prick talked about the £1.2m cost of this for YEARS. In the same breath as transfer funds. Then didn't buy a scoreboard. Or players). However in the same quote he also manages to make a completely untrue pledge regarding future capacity and have a dig at the fans in the next sentence.

"We are following the Arsenal model", then "We are following the Aston Villa model", then "We are not even going to pretend we're following any model".

Making SJP staff confiscate protest materials with bin bags full of them outside the ground.

Signing countless players as dodgy favours to agents only for them to rarely/never make an appearance for the club Encouraging managers to flog our own best players in the press for the £ Went from qualifying for Europe almost every season from 1994-2007, to qualifying once from 2007-2020 and moaning about the inconvenience of it As many relegations as top half PL finishes during Ashley's tenure Ashley responsible for 33% of NUFC relegations despite owning the club for just 10% of its existence

The lag completely ruined that semi final between Sterling and TAA

That's him all over, isn't it

...what? Spurs, Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool, Man Utd All say hi. They're not as big as ours, they're bigger.

That contrasted with: Joe Kinnear Alan Pardew John Carver Steve McClaren Steve Bruce

In fairness to Keys (yeah, I know) he just seems to have beef with Saudi Arabia full stop, mainly as he accuses them of stealing and showing BeIN sports streams.

Imagine needing that much attention. Utter fanny.

Wish him nothing but misery in his future endeavours.

It's win-win for him, he'll get a pay-off and some sympathy either way. Which is about the best case scenario for a serial loser like Bruce. If kept on for a while then the support he'll get from his mates in the press will be nauseating and when he's inevitably binned off for being shit it'll be "poor Steve". If binned off immediately, there'll be sympathy, a pay-off and conveniently avoiding the situation going to absolute shit so he can always say he was doing a good job. He's already at a far bigger club than his work merits, the question of whether he deserves the job could have been asked and answered at the time of his appointment but generally wasn't as it made perfect sense as a Mike Ashley appointment and Bruce has a favourable relationship with some journalists. There's absolutely no question now of whether this below average, behind the times manager deserves a job at a PL club with ambition. He doesn't.

Quality that, thanks Yorkie

Will it be a football quiz or a small clique of mates?

Fuck you, I have dyspraxia you little cunt. Do you two have history? Usernames confuse me. I always think it's the same person. This has been a bad morning.

Basically described the way I feel. Moved away from Newcastle in 2013, which made it easier to lose touch with the club. Think I've only been to two games since then. Really similar tbh although it's more recently my interest has properly waned. Think it was around the January in the Championship last time when Rafa started getting fucked around when I realised I knew how it ended and it was utterly pointless watching it unfold. I partly stopped going to less away games due to that, partly due to them being a challenging experience for a recovering alcoholic And noticed I was just half watching games on telly and streams. Then this season I was back to the Pardew bullshit - feeling absolutely nowt when we scored and not really being certain that I even wanted us to win. A few likeable players sort of holding my interest but even that wasn't the same fun it was. So this is happening now and I'm not that arsed, not yet anyway. If/when we start making strides towards behaving like a proper football club that wants to improve itself year on year then I should feel the interest tingling again, but like Wullie says once the tap is switched off it's not always as simple as switching it back on again.

Confirmed: Happiness breaks N-O Careful now

Nahhhhhh.

Go on then
