Away Toon

A bunch of vulture capitalists just interested in trying to make some money might be better than Ashley, but fuck me that's setting the height of the bar extremely low.

Love the way that half the posters on here have decided that Lascelles is now shit after lauding him up and bitching he wasn't playing for England. He's just not very good, never has been, he's committed for sure but limited on the ball, pretty slow and just not a very good defender.

The club is getting what it deserves which is fuck all

I'm not sure Kenedy is shite but like pretty much all of our players he's not very good. He certainly will never be a regular at Chelsea, I'm sure they are very keen to sell him.

I presume you aren't really fuming, because nobody in their right mind gives a fuck about Mike Ashley's NUFC.

Without some serious investment in January I don't think we are good enough to stay up by our own endeavors. This doesn't mean we will get relegated as we can still finish higher than three really shit teams. Trouble is apart from Cardiff who we are probably better than, I'm not sure who the other two are. Southampton will surely bin off Hughes so they might improve, Huddersfield are enterprising and have a good manager, Fulham have Mitrovic, so who does that leave?

if we keep winning and picking up points I doubt there will be many more protests or a successful boycott at the Wolves game. The only way Ashley leaves is if we sink, HTT is right, this thing has to burn to the ground before someone can try and rebuild it.

The only one I recognise is Harry, though what that says about me or the rest of the supposed celebrities I'm not sure.

Such a non Newcastle signing because we've got no fucking ambition. Nasri would improve us no end.

Literally the only thing Shelvey does well is hit long passes and he can only do that from the quarterback position that he likes to play. Anywhere else on the pitch is going to be too crowded and he doesn't do short pass and move.

Well it would require a personality transplant which after 11 years seems unlikely, plus we would have to start trying to be the best club we can be, ambitious and competent. Even then Ashley will still be a cunt, quite simply because he is.

If Rafa signs a new contract without a whole raft of guarantees, budget, control over the buying and selling of players, training ground and stadium investments and improvements, the state of the academy etc. it will be an absolute disaster for our version of NUFC and the green light for Ashley to stay as long as he likes.

One of the girls I worked with was in a small two person helicopter that crash landed in Florida firstly onto a house roof and then they slid off onto a parked car, both her and the pilot walked out virtually untouched. Two weeks before I was up in the same chopper with the same pilot sight seeing over Fort Lauderdale. Never again, I just don't believe they are safe and when they go wrong that's normally it. As someone said earlier flying in planes is alright, it's boring though and unless you can afford to fly in the front it's a pretty horrible experience now.

We got to the final in 1976 and actually played quite well compared with the 74 cup final. I remember my ticket cost £100 which was a fortune at the time.

I'm not sure we will get anywhere the kind of money we think we might for Lascelles although he's linked with Chelsea and Spurs this morning in the Chronicle. They cant have been watching him play this season.

It's actually short term that we need to be relegated, this season will do, and then we need to stay down until the lack of revenue and ongoing protests persuade Ashley to sell at a reasonable price. There is no point at all in us continuing to be in the premier league if it's to struggle like this every season, play horrible football to boot, irrespective whether Rafa stays or not. I'm convinced Ashley will not sell us while we remain on the premier league gravy train.

Not really, Fernandez looks better. Lascelles has a lot of limitations that are never going away.

Unless there is something in his contract that prevents him from speaking his mind, he can definitely say he thinks the owner should sell the club to someone who can come in and help us realise our potential. What's Ashley going to do, sack him?

Running your socks off is not a pre requisite for a premier league footballer Running your socks off is a prerequisite for a professional footballer full stop. Very, very few footballers are good enough for the game to revolve around them, and even then these days, even the very best players still put the miles in. The days of your Jan Molbys are gone, and anyway, Perez is a fucking wank footballer and isn't anywhere good enough to be considered as a luxury player. He's in the side because Rafa won't play 2 up front whatever the circumstances. What's wrong with Rondon with Muto playing off him?

Cancelo is tipped to become the best RB in the world.

Lascelles looks like he's trying to run Dummett close as one of the worst footballers we've had for years.

So you're saying the whole thing has been the greatest long con in history. If you are talking about Capitalism, absolutely.

US now winning 2-1.

USA struggling against Columbia though it's only 1-0 at HT. Great goal by James. Most importantly the Chicas in the crowd or proving once for all that Columbia has the most beautiful women in the world.

I started the season optimistically at a 7, moved to an 8 after seeing the way we were playing and after that I'm at a 10. Along with Cardiff and Huddersfield we have far the worst team and squad in the league and there is no sign any longer than our manager is any better than the ones the clubs at the bottom we are fighting with have.
