Is this serious? LOL what an awful post.
It's from my perspective as a Newcastle fan, obviously being a Palace fan yourself you may view differently.
You can only understand things from your own perspective?
He's a mercenary cunt because he's joined a fairly established PL club?
Out of all our signings in recent years few seem to genuinely work as hard and understand what this club is about then Townsend. I believe he joined us in the first place as he felt we should be able to stay up, he could get back into the England squad and we would be a fantastic club for him going forward.
We've been relegated. He's in the prime of his career. He did his best to keep us here. He deserves to play in the PL this season.
Comments like yours feed into this notion that football fans but especially Newcastle fans are fickle.
If a good player leaves to play at a higher level or for a bigger club = mercenary cunt.
Grow up mate.
