  1. But does Bruce lick his lips at 15LPM?
  2. Stuck a tenner on Bowen, Joselu and some random French fuckface last night. The random French fuckface missed a 90th minute pelantee after both Joselu and Bowen scored
  3. Burnley will win this, so get your money on it.
  4. You need to remember that this is a message board mainly populated by people who don't live in Newcastle and aren't (and have never been) matchgoing supporters as such. They are going to have a different aspect to it than you have and they will have a totally different opinion (and way of putting it over) to people you'll speak to in real life so to speak. In reality call someone a scab or whatever on a messagboard and there's no comeback. Do it in real life and you're getting a punch in the face. I know people on both sides of the fence but, out in the real world most people are respectful of each others stance and there's no hostility. I've certainly never fallen out with any friends or family over boycotting/attending and I don't know of anyone else who has either. Do what you want. You don't need to justify yourself to anyone, least of all a faceless person on the internet. I've stopped but plenty of my family members and mates still go. Live and let live. There are plenty of locals on here that have sacrificed their routines to try and create change. The wider fanbase doesn’t seem interested. Have their day out with the lads on the p*ss, get away from the wife...all things that could still be done without feeding Ashley £500-600 a year on top. The majority on here have never been regular match going fans so they are bound to see things differently to those who have gone to the match religiously for most of their life. That's not up for debate. I've made the decision to stop going, many of my friends and family still go. I can honestly say none of us have had a cross word to say to each other. Respect other people's decision. There's only one person at fault here. Life's too short. What are you basing that on? There are tons of match going fans on here who are local who have jacked it in, and even if they weren’t how is it different? I’m bored of saying this, but I’ve lived away my whole life until recently, I went to away games when I was 4 years old with my older brother, and any home games. I wanted a season ticket my entire life, id kill to be able to have one and go every week. Don’t assume it’s easier for those who haven’t had one, to not be going to games. I’ve essentially had to give up on the one thing that I constantly wanted my entire childhood and adult years. Doesn’t make it any easier. In fact I’d say it’s harder. Before people started losing interest the match threads (during games) were always the most active threads contributed by a large amount of posters who obviously weren't at the match. Not just that, it's blindingly obvious that there's always been a far larger % of non matchgoing fans on here than matchgoing ones. I've moved to the latter category now but tbh I have no beef with those who have always gone and continue to do so. My rule has always been don't type out anything to anyone on here that I wouldn't be prepared to say to their face.
  5. How can you continue to go to the match, man? Cancelled my ticket in the summer and won't be back until we start competing again, whether that's with or without Ashley involved in some capacity. Genuinely couldn't give a fuck who owns us, just want to see us build year after year without the threat of the reset button being mashed every 2 / 3 years. If at this stage (12 years of piss taking) you can't see that by going to the match you are part of the problem then you are a lost cause. Please don't complain when we sign Emil Kraft Mk II in January for 3.5 million and continue our slide towards relegation and enjoy your relegation, whenever it happens within the next 4/5 years.

    RIP Jim Smith

    Why did he leave us by the way?
  7. I said exactly this in the office this morning - we deserved the 2 relegations and we'll deserve the next one even more
  8. Got to stop the poor little food bank users from getting one.
  9. This is absolutely perfect, he's now doing his best to alienate the "support the team" arseholes. I'd be fucking livid if I was paying £700 for a ticket knowing that 5000 or so people in the stadium were getting in for absolutely nowt, having potentially cancelled their tickets in the summer.
  10. Apparently Poch loses his £12m compensation if he takes another PL job this season. Bloke should just spend the next six months on the beach and pick whichever job he wants next season. Or just ask for 12 million from Man Utd as a signing bonus.
  11. Loads of stains on Twitter are.
  12. Couple of questions... Why can't the game just grow organically? What makes anyone think Mike Ashley is going to spend money for absolutely nothing in return. Paddling pools at the training ground and all that. I hate MA as much as anyone, but having a go at him and the men's team for doing little to nothing for the women's team is a bit daft tbh.
  13. There's £15 I'm never seeing again, thanks Wullie.
  14. Attackers aren't scoring, defenders aren't defending. This is fun.
  15. Possibly Brotherhood. Aire Bar might be a better shout it's a bit more chilled out. Cheers
  16. Working in Wakefield this week, going to take the train to Leeds to watch the game - any recommendations?
  17. Their fans were still bad in the 2nd relegation season, despite being already down themselves. Their fans come across as weird bellends, but I can totally see why fans of other clubs like to goad our fans. As a collective we're easy targets and really don't help ourselves.
