I'm making a stand. Liverpool style. R.I.P SJP

His lack of due diligence which ultimately will lead to us being stuck with him unless someone of Man City's owners type wealth comes in to save the day. His lack of due dilligence was a godsend, hate to think where we'd have been without it. However bad he's been. I agree with what you're saying, and I too acknowledge what Ashley did- and financially has done for us- but we can't keep saying this after every insult, lie, and catastrophic decision thrown our way. You would think that four years on he would have adapted and learnt from mistakes. But as we continuously see, he simply doesn't. Literally every season he has been here uproar (mid-season, too) has been caused by something rash, needless or completely illogical. I'm very pleased to see where we are in the table and that what we have achieved so far is through prudent spending on players, but as .com have said....will whatever we receive- if we ever do find a sponsor- help us that much? I don't think so. Not one bit. Ashley should be working towards qualifying for Europe as that in itself would bring in good money. He simply cannot keep going the way he is. On the other hand, most of the decisions he has made were incredibly unpopular at the time but actually turned out to not harm us that much or even leave the club in better shape. Pretty much the only exception to this is the gamble on staying up in the relegation season, and even that worked out OK in the end. I don't think the name change fits into this category, as I think some things are more important than finance, but I thought we had started to reassess some os Ashley's past decisions in a better light. Selling Carroll and Nolan now look like good moves and replacing Hughton with Pardew was a great one, all things people were spitting their dummies out about at the time but realise now that it was good moves. Pure luck imo. How long before it runs out?

Saw this on facebook DISCUSSION: Will Ed Miliband have your vote in the next election if he manages to get the name changed back to St James' Park? He has called on NUFC chiefs to think again on renaming stadium. You can contact him and urge him to pile political pressure of the FCB by visiting: http://twitter.com/ed_miliband If you will support him if he gets back the St James' Park name then use the hastag #NUFCbacksEd and message him @Ed_Miliband telling him so!

I think the monk's called it that? Didn't they?

I think this is a totally daft f***ing post, to be honest. The name of the stadium has f*** all to do with why I support Newcastle. And when I first went to a game, at the age of 11, many years before most of the people on this forum were even born, before a single brick of the current St James' Park was in place, more than 20 years before the club acquired the crest it currently uses, tradition was the last thing on my young mind. Did you read the post? It's not just about the name of the stadium

That'll be their plan. No one will come in, they'll say "hey we tried!" and SD will take over the role for the name of the Stadium (just like it is) and probably the shirt sponsor, which will make us worse off with no Northern Rock money. Yep. So the whole we'll get 8 million a year, it's not all bad argument goes straight out the window. They do this trick every transfer window man. Remember the N'Zogbia 'bid'?

they took the SJP down yet like? No. Just seenig all the SD signs everywhere and thinking to myself St Jmaes' Park doesn't exist anymore hit me canny hard though

This still hurts. Was walking passed the ground today and i got quite angry. It'll hit everyone at the Chelsea game imo

It's like something out of Mein Kampf ffs

Red, black and white ae the colours of the city

Wonder if it'll be mentioned no question time.

Can't do any harm by signing a well worded petition though

If you are talking total sport and the one who told the local media to grow a pair...... Well said. Malcolm McDonald is a proper c*** on the legends like.

Imagine in St James' It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Haven't a clue after that

Every now and then i just take everything out of my head and slowly say the words Sports. Direct. Arena. It makes me incredibly sad and boils my p*** Seriously just think about it for a moment. It hurts.

Some of the mongs on the radio man. Just accepting it man :/

St James' Park St James' Park St James' Park St James' Tune of Three Lions

Canny post on toontastic.

Listening to people on the street, it's clear that some aren't even football fans as well, they're saying why should some f***ing southerner change the name of something which is part of the city, forget about football being played there, forget about football, what right does some thick fat bastard have the right to change the name of something in OUR CITY where we live? Something that is also the most iconic part of the city.

Cheesy Wotsits I'd take the Greggs Bowl or summit like.
