Boils my piss when journalists try to influence the news and opinion rather than just reporting the bloody news. Prefer my journalists non-biased as much as possible.

What’s that trophy for? Biggest cunt 2019?

I wanted us to lose games when Pardew was winless in eight. Usually when a manager has a run like that, they’re sacked. But I don’t want us to lose games now. I’d rather we just stay in the Prem. That way I can watch us on TV every week. Guess I’m not so different from those who want to go to the stadium and “get away from their wife”. I appreciate it'd be tough if overseas fans can't get to see championship games but: being in the premier League = Ashley never leaves So be it. Least we get to sign players like ASM. He didn’t sell when we were in the Champo anyway. It absolutely hurts either way. Last year when we had secured survival and were just playing games to get a higher spot absolutely sucked. Best I can hope for is for this team to really gel. Joelinton’s price tag means he’ll be here for a while. We’re resigned to losing Longstaff next year but 70 mil to build a new midfield sounds pretty decent. Foundations are there to break into the top 10... in about three years. Are you for real?

The absolute gall of this little flid acting high and mighty about player investment after over a decade of underspending and one summer just gone when our net spend was about a par for once (and still only about 1/5 of our turnover). Stop trying to argue with Rafa about football you tit, you're making yourself look really fucking stupid. The problem is that the media and those like Cronky will lap that up and wipe the slate clean, take it in isolation and think he’s being reasonable.

Yep - we scored about 10 wonder goals - won a lot of games by one goal - Krul and Colo were immense! I don't see many goals in this team and Miggy's confession is not surprising. Only Mutu has the capacity unless of course by some miracle Andy Carroll has been to see the witch doctor about his decrepid health issues and becomes the one of old - now that would be exciting...then I woke up What was Miggy’s confession? Sorry just seen this - he has come out and said he has never been a natural goalscorer through his career - fortunately he does have the capacity to create Ta. I really like Miggy. Was looking forward to seeing him under Rafa. I’m pretty concerned that people will get on his back for not having scored already. Some were even starting to at the end of last season ffs and I don’t hold out much hope for him under Steve Bruce. It’s got Ben Arfa written all over it.

Good piece but I dont think its a big mystery whats going on. To me there seem to be to types here. 1) The obvious trolls like Richard Keys or Talksport who just try to make ludicrous claims to get a reaction/clicks/views/callers what ever. 2) The ones who have it in their best interest to keep a steady interest in every day events at the football club for business reasons. Who's fit for Saturday, what did Jonjo eat for breakfast today etc. These are the ones who tow the "lets move on and focus on football" line like the local papers. The whole of Newcastle boycotting the football club isnt good business for anyone in the media. Do agree but I think there's a 3rd type personally - people within the football media who have always hated Newcastle, who begrudged us having one of the best teams around in the 90s and 00s, who are delighted to see us back "in our place" now and therefore talk Ashley up or play his disastrous ownership down at every opportunity. They want us to fail and Ashley is the perfect man to facilitate that. I absolutely agree with 3. It’s been there since our decline under Dalgleish. Maybe even before under Keegan, although there were a lot of neutrals who liked us then. But definitely since our decline there has been this ‘who do they think they are’ narrative and those people are loving Ashley owning us. I find Villa fans to be particularly bad for this. No idea why except for maybe jealousy that it wasn’t them in the mid 90s who had the purple patch after their successes in the 80s.

Slate is wiped clean after every murder.

A lovely day out though. So there’s that.

That bit about giving the players and staff a bonus for coming 10th but not Rafa and his coaching team is fucking shameful. Ashley is such a petty cunt. I’ve also got a good feeling that Rafa might be telling some rich Chinese companies that Newcastle would be a great club to buy, while he is over there. I for one would welcome our new Chinese overlords.

Dummett was carrying a knock and Lascelles was ill before the game. So he literally did that too.

He'd be a step up from this cunt Do not wish the silver curse back on us.

Seems to me that you are on a bit of a rant and rave right now. He's not wrong though, QM. Bruce could have a cup of tea and there'd be 7 pages of vitriol saying he should have had a coffee. It's just way over the top. No, he deserves every bit of shit he gets, he wasn't forced to take the job, and shit on his former club in the process. The bloke is a tit aswell as a shit manager, fuck him. Thought you didn't care? Doesn't care but has posted 20 times in the match thread Guys, pushing this argument just makes you look stupid. Obviously nobody has literally no feelings about Newcastle. Some of us have just had to switch off because we can’t take the infinite futility and pain of talking about Newcastle like it’s still a normal football club . Use your heads a bit. No it doesn't. Several posters have said repeatedly, that they are done with the club, but they post consistently in the match thread, and some are celebrating when we get beat. Hypocrite central. It's so clearly manufactured in those guys who come on writing stuff like "glad we lost, howay Norwich next week" etc. Cringey stuff. Cringey as fuck. And meanwhile what are you getting out of Ashley-era ‘Newcastle United’?? Enjoying it? I'm not wishing my team loses on a fucking messageboard that's for sure. Your choice. Others think differently

The revisionistas aren’t going to like this thread

Is he? I thought he’d gone to reading too

How can something be predictable when it doesn't precede anything though? After 18 games if the same mistakes that cost us today are happening, then yes, predictable, but after the first game? I'm not sure that makes much sense. Fwiw there was some promising signs in the first half today in our play and a few players in particular caught the eye. I'll choose to not plummet into abject misery just yet. You're far too sensible. You're completely wasting your time though. They've been waiting all summer for something to go crazy over. Even though they all claim not to care anymore. You can be such an idiot at times. This is the most relaxed a fair few of us probably have been about a season. I just find it quite bizarre that some people treat this as some sort of clean slate every season with the "let's just see what happens" mentality. Ashley has steered this club from one catastrophe to the next. Losing Benitez was one such catastrophe, and he just compounded tenfold it by appointing Bruce. Their records speak for themselves. This

Good man manager though. That’s literally the only thing people can come up with in support of his credentials. And yet he can’t even communicate instructions properly.

Fkin Leicester man

Ah, the old 'nothing the poster said is inherently wrong and I have no points to counter anything said so I'll just insert a smiley'... classic, classic. Not a lot to suggest Rafa’s tactics would have got us a win there? Are you on drugs? Remember us beating Man City??

I am not supporting anything. I just despise the lies and hyperbole. It is despicable. I understand that and I personally don’t blame Willems for that goal. He’s clearly not match fit and shouldn’t have been on in the first place. That substitution was horrendous. But you have been trying to put a positive spin on Bruce being here in the teeth of overwhelming evidence that he’s not good enough.

Let’s see how Yerdas and Shadow Puppets are going to spin this for maximum WUM effect
