I respect anyone who has gone week in week out for 5/10/30/60 years - thick and thin etc. Ashley doesn't he is only interested in the time your next going to put best part of a grand into one of his setups whether that is NUFC, SD or whatever he is gobbling up. The stories, heritage, achievements of the past count for dick whilst this tyrant strangles us. So yes its sad we have to question ourselves like this and talk wrecking our own commendable track records but when it comes down to brass tacks it defies any objective logic to keep doing it after endless false dawns and deliberately broken promises. He's laughing at NUFC fans but especially the ones talking war whilst giving him money and I mean that with the greatest of goodwill for those with their hearts in the right place. Tough love is needed at NUFC.

We’ll ultimately just be pushed from the premier league on this sort of basis

He’s probably emboldened by the likes of trump. Absolutely. Self preservation society head member.

Didn't take that much to get it to blow over did it. Bishop - Don't worry Mike, it'll all blow over. Fans - Nah, no chance. Mike - hey guys, there's a takeover. Fans - ace, we'll leave you to get on with it then, thanks Mike. He’s not being left alone. Trust me.

Went to Leyton orient last week, mite too expensive but I know just what you mean.

It's easy said when fan groups are trying be decent against those lacking decency. I mean it should reflect most poorly on the liar, not the lied to ultimately. Granted, I don't agree with every bit of it that has gone on. Best change of tack is to drive stuff that is out of stadium or Newcastle altogether but you're local match goer wont back it in the way attempted...flawed as it is. If/when Rafa goes people need to have a good hard think who they next scrutinise hardest.

Love mitro man

I think that one's explained by a level of naivety from him. When he was persuaded to make a statement in support of Ashley he simply hadn't realised the backlash he was going to get. He was the supporters hero, they waved a giant flag with his face on, and then Bishop whispers in his ear ala Wormtongue how he could ease a lot of pressure if he just persuaded some of the fans Ashley wasn't all bad. Going from hero to villain was likely a bit of a shock and still mentally effecting him now. Viable theory? Certainly something in that.

I mean if another Ashley or worse comes along then that’s me done with nufc and football tbh. No hyperbole. Just not worth the time.

I see. what larks! God bless/damn punctuation.

No reason. My joke has reached its appropriate end.

Fucking hell how did I manage that not even on autocorrect on phone It’s healthy to experiment mate - if it’s on your mind just go for it you cock hungry devil you. To be fair I am actually gay Dry spell then?

I’m suck a cock.

The footballing side of things would be night and day surely? Ashley et al are competely bereft of any acumen whatsoever. It’s at zero. Zilch. Absolute zero.

Smilie it.

Seems happy about it there.

His plans aren’t sustainable, we’ll drop. Won’t be next season perhaps or the 1-2 after but we will with this approach year on year and counting on bouncing back every time is folly.

Merely observing and commenting that's all. Teeeeeeeny bit of irony here, non? Not at all. It's the same sour faced people moaning about trivial little things like banners or songs not being to their liking. Meanwhile the club drifts further into oblivion with every passing week. It’s hardly one or the other is it? And it’s not whinging for whinging sake either. People respect the efforts by and large but we’re non plussed/dislike this one. Hardly worthy of melodrama.

When Ashley pays the market rate for PL fit attackers. Simple.

The chronicle podcasts are quite enlightening on the situation. Not usually a fan but I think they are spot on surrounding the politics of it all.

Righto.

Top stuff. You’re the good guys Flags. Everyone should echo that.
