Had me trying to find a picture of hairyitis from theme hospital in reply as anything else is waste of time. -

Yip. Every @btsport tag does this. The likes of talk sport are just less subtle at it -

You can tell a lot about people by the way they write. People splashing punctuation around like they are about to piss themselves. -
You’d want out if you were a player wouldn’t you? Toon fandom aside.

Or just focus on mike Ashley. Ultimately it’s another distraction. -
The leave the world referendum. Ramble are going to have a field day with that.

Key will be how well other teams strengthen squads via spending and how those players adapt. Because we won’t sign anyone full stop/of note or permanence and some will.

I fail to to see what’s so hilarious like. He’d never done it before - before you even factor the following window. Funny how the thought of him not getting money in future set him off. I know your views on the spurs boycott and they don’t make sense. -

The boycott had him do that by the way. People shouldn’t forget that - threat of abstinence. -

Why? what does it matter? Exactly. Still going. -
Definitely an element of that. He surrounds himself with compliant sycophants. He’s out to make a point the fucking sociopath.

As far as I can tell it's contentious anyway. I know a few that have said the Ashley era is the worst they've experienced and there have been some that have posted about it on here too. To be fair they're similar in some ways and different in others. We were in the 2nd tier 78-82 and 90-92 and nearly in the 3rd tier at the back end of the 91/92 season BUT between then and Ashley taking over we've seen how good things could be and that clouds things a bit. In a perverse way league/league position clouds things now. I speak from a place of almost complete ignorance of those periods though. -

Darth Crooks replied to Kaizero's topic in Football
I wasn’t alive for one of those periods. But it’s been worse is a low bar standards wise and it’s myopic thinking imo. If back then was worse than renaming hundred year old stadia to flog tat for the benefit of an ethical vacuum, throwing people under the bus who have cancer and being an industrial lie machine who deliberately withhold funds from the team and a coach who is a paragon of sporting achievement and professionalism, then I’m glad I wasn’t around. My niece and nephew weren’t either though, or my children. What am I to tell them to grow up being proud of? Grandad had it worse? Not naive enough to think football has to be the invictus games but it’s hard to be proud of much when we’re so willing to let our own history and stature be dragged through the mud so passively. -

There’s no logic to it. Just well meaning people grappling with the manipulative practices of a complete bastard. He wins the moment your wage hits his account. The compliance as defiance complex makes no sense. -

I think it’s a fair point to say attack his business interests because he cares about that more, though it’s a weird mental leap to make a separation between Newcastle and the rest of his portfolio, solely because it happens to be a hobby of yours. Debate the semantics of the word ‘support’ re: Ashley day and night but pounds volunteered to his arse pocket that never see the team is a weird one to be able to take too much offence to. -

Darth Crooks replied to Kaizero's topic in Football
And then it becomes, 'who are you to tell me?' which is a fair question but fundamental truth is Ashley doesn't care who either of you are - just if he has one or both of your funds. -

People do talk as if people who abstain don't enjoy aspects of/want to be going. I like sitting in the stands with my dad and my brother having a laugh and a pint and a curry afterwards but I don't need to pay towards the active decline of club to do some of those things or like them enough not to see my pounds in his his arse pocket is a simple vindication. I'm hesitant to call people pejorative tags but it does make us look like we lack principles. 'It's my team...' doesn't make sense anymore.
