  1. The hair inverted version, aye...
  2. Depends whether you believe fans should have leverage/power. Should be in a position where people are concerned about pissing fans off and it having meaningful influence.
  3. When asked to comment on anti rascist stance online he makes it about him. Such. A. Cunt. Nice bloke my arse. Doesn’t let people finish their fucking sentences.
  4. Well, putting the Mackems aside then, the audience and target is Newcastle fans for them to pledge. If it’s enough which it may well not be. There was a bloke in there from Kenya. As much as it evoked some local imagery it also addressed football in the modern sense too. Ultimately it’s about persuading enough of us to pledge to make it credible, however their content is pitched.
  5. It’s been tried at least twice. There’s no appetite for it nor consensus. You want a white knight with ambition? Not happening. You want a mass boycott that neither. It’s the perfect being the enemy of the good and part of this at least is looking at the possibility we do a Sunderland. Fucked if I’ll be bystander like those clowns.
  6. The word embarrassing is the most overused and redundant word used in the context of fan behaviour. Whose behalf people embarrassed upon? Sure as shit ain’t mine. I couldn’t give a fuck what Sunderland fans think and looking through the prism of that is so small time it’s untrue. I’m all for how will this work and debate and healthy scepticism but we’ve a Damocles sword of relegation, a sovereign state accused of murder and sportswashing or a disaster capitalist who literally v’s up the fans as our current options. Halle-fucking-jullah someone is promoting a way that doesn’t pander to the EPL, the myriad cretins who protect the jobs for boys product. I don’t know if it will work but fed up of pretending we’re a football club in any meaningful sense or that I should embrace PIF and they are my options. More needs to happen like this in wider society too to be honest because at the minute life and debate around it stinks. Mackems ffs.
  7. Who gives a fuck what mackems think like? They watched their club all but die
  8. Thing is. Being part of a constituted trust you can know that when you ask members that their responses are tangible and evidenced and any activities have credibility. I’m involved and have collaborated with multiple fan groups and most people/groups are great and devoid of ego. One bad faith actor or headcase, or lack of constituted strategy can derail the whole thing and despite attempts for unity. Lack of structure or hierarchy prevents this - hence why the trust is useful as it has a permanence. I’m a member and I have frustrations with it’s priorities but it does t just represent my priorities but those of far bigger numbers than any fragile group I’ve been involved in.
  9. Football needs this tried at the top level. Otherwise it will only ever get worse.
  10. Premier league/fan money/their ‘Ahl wi smiling faces’ next to an SD sign is what keeps him here. No prospect of mass boycott. Whatever breaks that cycle. Takeover obviously the most convenient.
  11. Thick and spiteful aren’t mutually exclusive attributes - in face they’re often found very commonly together.
  12. Research design 101 innit? Define situation? Blame? Change it to responsibility or ultimate responsibility. Mackems. What does other mean? Fans? Covid? Charnley. With all that nearly 60% is still high
  13. I’m ‘happy’ to see this happen as it’s evidence that Ashley’s method is incompatible with what is needed to be amongst the elite. Profits aside he’s an abject failure at growing a brand, club or positive business culture. Shame it has to be with us but given the way the premier league are also a complete racket - I also have no problem being back amongst proper clubs. I’m also wary of this Saudi stuff and it stinks of what the PL and the modern elite fans has to become. Shame it’s us caught up in it all.
  14. Jotenko is back in the revival. Bomjia my friend.
  15. That’s after the match covered. Result prediction?
  16. Any reality is mentally engineered to reflect his business practices so this is likely true. The wrong lessons are learned if any each time.
