That is exactly the problem. People are so disillusioned and fed-up because the pride and expectation of the club has lowered so much that people don't even think we could challenge as a 'big club' anymore. It's disgraceful.

Cunts

That's all Ashley's doing IMO. I remember seeing Newcastle's kit displayed proudly besides Real Madrid's in the window of Adidas's large Paris store, oh how we have fallen.

What was with the stewards reaction to the "Support the Team, not the Regime" banner?

Currently at the match. This is one of the worst football matches I've ever seen. Boring as fuck.

It's probably cheaper to initially manufacturer it after everyone else has initially manufactured theirs.

I saw a magpie boppin about on Warwick Street so I thought hey, good oman! Fucking hate Puma jesus fucking christ fucking wankers pricks

This club disgusts me right now.

There's no such thing in modern society I'm afraid. We could like, not be sponsored? How much are we making from Wonga, £10m max over how many years? That's nothing in the grand scheme of things when you think about TV money etc.

David Craig was SSN saying it was because of the Wonga wangle. Does that make it true?

Do we even know that the reason that Cissé has not travelled to Portugal is because of this whole Wonga thing or is it all just hearsay and rumours?

Or you could like, not get any of them and make a point.

we are so unprofessional it's unbelievable.

Darren Bent. Is this what it has come to?

When I was a kid and didn't live in Newcastle, I adored those days when me and my dad came up here to see my grandparents and took the metro in to town, got off the Metro at Monument and I ran straight into the club shop. I'm sounding like a right knob now but it was magical. It really re-enforced the whole 'city living and breathing football' image.

Keegan's vision for a Newcastle sporting club... Why can't we have any visionaries like that associated with the club now?

:lol: :lol:

I'll ask everyone this question: does Newcastle United at the present time offer you any civic pride whatsoever in the city of Newcastle upon Tyne?

If there was a complete boycott of St James Park, literally an empty stadium, he'd have to go to be quite honest. Probably aye. How likely is that do you think? Not very likely at all, but it's a point none-the-less. Even if the attendance figures dropped significantly like 20-30k less he'd probably seriously rethink his position. I just hate this 'it's not going to work so I'm not even going to try' attitude. A visible protest by the fans is the only thing that can make a difference other than the whim of Ashley right now and a half empty St James Park on a saturday would make a huge statement.

If there was a complete boycott of St James Park, literally an empty stadium, he'd have to go to be quite honest.

But the club IS Ashley. That's the whole problem. It's his own personal toy essentially and he can do whatever he so pleases with it. It isn't 'ours' at all.

It'll be a new 'bar area' for VIPs called "Wonga's"
