After all I make exceedingly good cakes.

Yeah it was all the lack of communication that relegated us. Scrutinise the front of a speeding train with your stupid little dr Bunsen heed.

Absolutely. Keep the faithers.

We don't know either way.

Thank fuck. The weekend would have been unbearable.

He was fucking crap and still is but he never had that money to spend.

We're not winning this like. Typical Newcastle and all that but the reality we're just shit as fuck.

It's not the pull that's the problem it's how often it breaks down afterward.

Relies on premier league then. Great. You are telling me there is 50% chance we stay up? No

Relies on premier league then. Great.

if there's ever been a moment where ashley has an epiphany it should be this, there's literally no better option than them offering benitez a blank cheque and saying "please run the football club for us, we have no idea how to do it, little mike will do whatever you tell him" He's not capable of epiphany or contrition and if Rafa does stay it'll just end badly. That's not to say I don't want him to its just I'm of the mentality that unless there's wholesale change I can't be excited about literally anything NUFC

Mike Ashley will never admit a mistake and will never u-turn on a policy he's been forcing to implement over ten years. Just like the 80m. Rafa was a desperate dice roll to be a quick fix and then worry about it later. How many people have joined this club and been lied to? Say what you like but McClaren wasn't given the right additions the squad needed which exacerbated his shitness; he was supposed to have input on recruitment but I heavily doubt he had much say at all. No way will Ashley u-turn and give full control and even if he does it won't be for long. Do you really think that if he stays we're in for an era of potential success? There is no dream to buy into, no noble aim. Everybody ever involved in this club gets the rug pulled from under them and besmirched unless they toe the line and play sycophant to the letter. that isn't very hopeful but just having Benitez just leaves the same problems present.

Won't happen. No way they forsake this business model. Even if they do, they'll go back on it once in the big time. Nothing good will ever have longevity with these twats in charge. That sounds negative in the extreme, but admitting mistakes and being transparent with people just isn't in their DNA.

Aye I was more of an Eric Morcambe fan too.

He'll just fuck him over at some point anyway. The guy has no respect for people and pretending he's going to have some moral, altruistic epiphany or just end his stubborn failed model at the drop of a hat is lunacy. He's thick and he'll do what he's always done.

Wishful thinking IMO.

You don't get asked to manage you're home country every day though do you?

As long as the old boys club and media will peddle the 'expectations' line then others will swallow it. Ashley is still our saviour in the eyes of many and Pardew a hard done by young British coach.

The infrequency of international football means you don't have to be in Spain as often as he would coaching over here. t's also the next step in management for him to go; if offered, in his shoes I would take it. Who could blame him regardless of our plight?

He's here to stay man. He's just had a pay rise and id Ashley's mini-me.

This image sums up the entire season. God damn it. Apart from the premier league badges aye.

Is this sarcastic? It's really not. A dog with a swans head is surreal. This has been totally realistic for half a decade.

Image of the week gold right there. NSFW edition.
