Away Toon

When was the last time we had the majority of the possession or tried to actually get on the ball and do something with it? Can you remember the last time we actually tried to impose ourselves on a game? Hardly ever the last few seasons I reckon. Today 24% and one shot on target. Absolute waste of fucking time. Please get relegated

Give the opposition the ball (81%) in the first half, sit back and defend, what could go wrong? Hate watching this negative shit.

When the people who didn't already know he's crap caught up with the other ones who had known for years. Plus he's a highly dislikable twat.

I think it's the difference between caring, not being bothered but still interested and trying to distinguish between the three. I care about NUFC the club I've followed since the early 1970's, but not at all about this version that Ashley has created. I'm not bothered about the results or what happens until Ashley sells, but I am interested by the process that will get us there. You can certainly be interested in what's going on and post about it, it doesn't mean you care.

No we don't

I think he's probably our best player and hopefully the goals and assists will follow soon. At some point they will need to and he needs to replace at least some of Perez's goals.

So his name is pronounced Jo-elinton rather than Joe-linton? Sounded like that on NBC anyhow.

I'm a great believer that the only way to get rid of Ashley is relegation and a prolonged stay out of the premier league, consequently I'm not fussed at all what our results are. Today though I'm quite happy we won, as Spurs were so shit and bereft of ideas that it's good they got what they deserved.

Fulham have 85% possession after 80 minutes, what's the record in a game, that must be close.

Saw a very dull Mallorca against Real Madrid with Ronaldo playing. My Spanish is not great, Catalan even less and Mallorquin inexistent but apparently they were singing some very rude songs about Mourinho who was manager at the time.

First game Huddersfield against Birmingham maybe in 1966 as we lived there at the time. Lots of A.S.Cannes games, saw both Viera and Zidane when they were really young. Used to go and watch Marseilles play at Monaco just to watch the annual invasion of the principality.

Dummett back to shite again, that would imply at some time he wasn't shite. He's the most limited player I've ever seen in the premier league.

On the bench today for Chelsea, thought he has gone to Reading?

Oh do fuck off. I’m sick of this attitude of trying to say how much people hate Newcastle United and want them to lose. Are the owners curbs? Yes. Is the manager out of his depth? Yes A lot of us have with a heavy heart given up our season tickets etc. We still want us to win though. People coming in here and rubbing our faces in it isn’t helping and it’s exactly that attitude why theirs 47k there today and not less. You want to support teams who play us, we’ll join there forums, better still sign up for an account on RTG. Fuck you too if you think us doing well and staying in the premier league will help us get our club back. I don't hate NUFC, I hate Ashley's version of it.

Well I didn't actually cheer the Arsenal goal as I don't want to wake the dogs up, but it certainly didn't upset me.

Until I'm watching the game on TV tomorrow morning I'm not sure how I'm going to feel if we score or they score. Under Pardew I definitely wanted us to lose for quite a long time and I'm leaning that way for tomorrow.

If Rafa was still here we'd be winning this game against a very weak Arsenal missing half of their starting team. However Steve Bruce, so fuck knows.

Colback must be laughing his ginger pubes off, he's going to get paid 40k a week for the last year of his contract.

A successful season long boycott would alert Sky though I'm sure they know already, that Ashley is a cancer at our club. Empty stands would definitely help Ashley focus on selling the club at a reasonable price. However as the majority of match day supporters or either thick, deluded, selfish or just unaware of the futility of supporting a club that doesn't try to improve itself or be successful, the only answer is for us to be piss poor useless and quickly plummet back down into the championship. So its back to the good old Pardew days of hoping we get a tonking on a regular basis. With Bruce in charge of a team with no proven goal scorer hopefully this will happen quickly. This way Ashley will lose money, won't get the exposure for SD which is the only reason he owns the club anyhow, and maybe , just maybe we will get our club back.

The likes of Almiron, Saint-Maximin and Joelinton are a big step up from the likes of Riviere and Gouffran. They are also more physically capable than the likes of Thauvin and Cabella. Unfortunately for a lot of people on here, the team is going to be an exciting one to watch, and are likely to do well this season. Best prepare yourselves. I don't how you come to the conclusion that we are going to do well. Even if we play the three of them, none of them has shown that they can get anywhere near the goals that Perez and Rondon scored. The rest of the team is looking pretty much the same as last season, with crap wingbacks and only Longstaff that should be starting for a decent team in midfield, most importantly without Rafa's organization and defensive ability, all adds up to another struggle not to get relegated. We might be saved by three really useless teams being worse than us, but I wouldn't put any money on it.

Until the transfer window closes there is no point at all trying to predict anything.

From that miserable list, I'd probably have Bruce, even though I'm pretty sure he's going to be useless.

I know a forum is all about opinions so here is a summary of mine, I think the majority of posters on here maybe agree with most of them, the general support especially the match going fan less so. NUFC is not a sporting institution and hasn't been since MA bought us. We operate on a purely commercial level, the priority is to make money and advertise Sports Direct. The owner is not interested in improving the club from a sporting perspective, not interested in striving to improve, not interested in backing a manager, not interested in success or winning anything, just survival to keep on the premier league and sky gravy train. New players are bought as commodities to try to make a profit after a couple of seasons, not because the manager wants them. Why are we apparently buying Joelinton and not Rondon, not because the Brazilian will score more goals that's for sure. What can we do? Well a boycott is a start and not just the Arsenal game. Low crowds as well as the loss in revenue will be an embarrassment to Sky and at some point they will let Ashley know. However we don't want MA to suddenly see the light, we want him to sell the club. Although in general facts are always not quite as black and white as we would like them to be, there are enough facts now to realise that MA will not sell the club while we are in the premier league and he is making money and taking it out of the club as well as getting free advertising for his tat shop. Being relegated and coming straight back up has made no difference either. So the solution imo, is relegation and a sustained period in the Championship, it will cost MA money and he loses the free advertising which is the only reason he still owns the club. Then he will lower his asking price to something reasonable and maybe we can get sold. Steve Bruce is maybe not as unlikable as Pardew, but I hope he is a complete failure, I hope the new players especially are a flop and lose value, and I hope we get relegated and beat Derby's miserable points record. Burn it all to the ground, until he sells the club and we can all start again.

What a complete dick Shelvey is. Slags off Rafa, claims Bruce has changed the formation although all he did was revert back to the way we played all last season under Rafa, and then claims Bruce has made a massive difference. Wanker.

"He is a lot different to Rafa," Shelvey told Sky Sports. "With Rafa, you never knew what he was thinking. Personally, I would rather have someone who talks to you and you know what they are thinking." "Steve has come in and changed the formation, and after two days we looked a lot more comfortable," Shelvey added. "I think we thoroughly deserved to win. "When a new manager comes in training goes up a couple of notches and everyone is busy and looking to impress. "He has made a massive difference. He is constantly talking to you and that is what you want."
