You never know until you experience it. The contempt, the callousness. Rangers have, we have. He’ll makes a team ‘stable’ on a spreadsheet and everything else is a skip fire. Stadium name change. Signage. Club shop rinsed - the lot. Sadly it takes time to truly know.

Cheers man. There’s due a meet-up down here to emulate the other day and Brighton looks a big day for us.

No but I’m surprised how intoxicating all this jubilance is. I got sent a lot of MBS/Saudi flag stuff which makes me wince but it’s my family as midland Geordies and 2gen supporters connection to the NE and I won’t sacrifice it.

This arrived today. Well chuffed

Haha I’ll fetch the blue touch paper and the gunpowder.

What better way to diplomatically endear yourself to the PL?

I mean this. Ideally from a cannon. into the side of marsden rock. but I do wonder whether it’ll be a case of let a Man U legend leave with ‘dignity’ after his 1000 PL game

Thanks mate. Strange where the emotions take you but exciting times.

This thread has prompted some reflection. I left uni in 2009 and shortly after became a teacher working schools, prisons and universities. I’ve been abstaining attending home games since McClaren. I actually used my uni space booking powers to arrange anti Ashley London meeting of the London Magpie Group. I got marrried in 2014 and I think in part the fight cost me that - such was the time I devoted to it. I have no regrets all told as I am in much more level headspace but maybe the real protests were the friends we made along the way? Going to be emotional returning.

Charnley turned to pitch fertilizer

Thanks for the overshare.

Any one like that of Greg?

How’s the p45 de yer say?

That needs animating somehow

Is he penetrating us there?

I was/am one of those fans disgusted by having Sports Neglect as a backdrop/foreground for fans of our club and the fact it became all our club and stadium was all about means it's wrong to say I don't care about that company and using attacks against it as a means to an end. I believed that NUFC could do better. What is clear is that we have a government, league and ownership paradigm that doesn't allow for decency or accountability and I've realised we're through the looking glass because money has made it that way. I've fought tooth and nail to see Ashley off - looks like it's done along with far more effort from others. The fact that someone/people likely engaged in sinister statecraft and acts of war crime now own us is so far from the fight I and others started I don't think we're wrong to pursue it. Am I prepared to lose even more friends, hobbies and family time over this? I feel I've sacrificed much. When do these moralisers with actual influence and power start that fight? It better be more substantial than cheap vox pops and clickbait. Change is needed on so many fronts in the Western World and football/NUFC is microcosm. The day the revolution comes I'll be at the front of it but I'm tired and the vestiges of my family heritage and link to the NE are tied with this club in it's myriad forms and whilst I'll not be there for every kick - at least the day to day won't involve a rampant contempt for fans and conning time and money from my friends and neighbours. Is there hypocrisy present? Perhaps? Whataboutery? Maybe? What am I supposed to do now? If you want to start that conversation I'm adult and wordly wise enough to have it but if its part of the two-side, clickbait news cycle and narrative building - get fucked.

Sports Direct FC fan in peace here. Fair play you lot won out in the end. Have to find my wanking into a Word 97 spreadsheet kicks elsewhere. Go fuck yourselves. DC

Stick him through paper shredder

Brilliant. More revenue for TS from smug Geordies engaging in schadenfreude rather than anger. They're not daft.

The mood in here is utterly refreshing like. Night and day.
