It’s likely just to get people not to jack it in isn’t it?

You can’t listen to that back yourself and think ‘yep I’ve said the right thing there.’

I'm trying to think if there's anything he especially excelled at in that run of games. He was playing very well, like, but I'm wondering if he's just 'neat and tidy' - which obviously means he's not going to excel in a rubbish team where no one knows where they're supposed to be. He made a brilliant start to his career, regardless; feels now like he needs to leave urgently if he's going to fulfil whatever potential he's got. It's an enormous shame, like. The team had deficiencies, of course, but absolutely masses of promise under Rafa. We could easily have been staking a claim up there with the likes of West Ham and Bournemouth. Easily. Maybe even Leicester if we'd got lucky with a couple of quality signings who hit the ground running straight away. Doubt there'll ever be a greater tragedy in my lifetime than us getting Rafa and then just chucking him away. He was about as close as Newcastle United - a community behemoth in the North East with global appeal and a profound heritage - could get to guaranteed success. But we weren't allowed that cos some bloke from Buckinghamshire who's a bit of a dick isn't that into football. See Winks, McTominay, Rice. Cleese. Everett...Sessions...

Some shite about front front - he was smirking and doing it before leicester too

Fancy your chances of achieving what though?

These 80s 90s PFMs do seem a dying breed who are banding together

The media reliant ones with vested interests on social media annoy me.

Louise Woodward was safer ffs.

Should be an easy 5

Did you watch the game also?

Symptom sure but fuck anyone who comes in under Ashley and thinks they can just free pass it. He knows what the gig is ands he took the Ashley coin, spreading his rot with gay abandon.

You bring the gun mate, me the shovel

Chronicle are going to have to get creative.

Booing Perez for any particular reason?

As an active member of a protest group moderately well known and with some small impact, I can tell you how messy and hard it is to remain organised and grow. I’m also a trust member because I can see that ultimately they will have more strength than our relatively small protest group can ever have long term by virtue of being formally constituted and having official memberships. Leaders can be deposed, directions altered, with the ultimate aim being that sufficient numerical and financial strength may help get our club back one day. It’s narrow minded to think that’s pointless. They’re trying to effect what they can in their infancy imo and it’ll require a bit of a leap of faith from fans to help them grow their members. I’ll be looking to vote in people who don’t have alterior motive and will complement the more anti ashley stance personally, but other members will be match going fans and people have to ultimately recognise that these people exist and if they join an organisation like a ST probably care about stuff like fan ownership. Every avenue should be explored and if you want to strengthen our protest groups - they always need active members. As much as getting directly at Ashley DOES piss him off and give him pause for thought (though he nearly always doubles down) it’s money and tangible strength in numbers that will see him off.

Lot of truth in that Ian.

Funny it comes once again after he’s jumped in public.

It’s incredibly contrived

Throw st maximin on at any cost basically

Just means no one reaches their potential imo

If Schar hadn't suddenly remembered he was master of Takraw we'd have lost. Got us right out the shit.

Given the context of our own clubs issues, people would be better off treating them as a complete fucking irrelevance. People use jip from these morlocks to as an excuse not to participate in protests, accept treading water because at least we can lord something over the Mackems and basically engage in a race to the bottom. Aye fuck em and their nobody status.
