It isn't just Ashley that needs questioned though because there are many complicit to the whole charade. The likes of Charnley get away with murder for supposedly being out of the loop but he's a shite deflector and has no real terms in his job. Sky's 'Craigy'. David Craig is another that knows the score but is willing to peddle the guff that Ashley wants out there. Also the premier league is accountable for allowing this sort of thing to be created in the first place with unattached owners coming in and making decisions that hurt decades of tradition or in some cases over a hundred years of history ripped up, just in the name of lining their pockets or promoting their tat.

Wey not to worry. Only 18 league games left until the window slams open again. The remaining 17 league games after that maybe seeing a couple of quid thrown at it to try and salvage another season of PL lolly for the fat man. Something tells me that things wont go as smoothly as he thinks from now on.

It's obvious the plan for the Summer window was to nark Rafa off enough for him to walk and then do the boom bust cycle with another puppet in charge just willing to tow the party line. It's in our best interests for Rafa to stay and play politic bingo now. The longer he's here, the more erratic the Ashley gang will become.

Just resign yourselves to nowt but another loan coming in. The only relevance to Thursday for NUFC and the end of the window is that it's the day where Charnley is headed to the new Lidl at Killingworth to search for some new cheap biscuit deals. There's an in store bakery as well so the club may stretch to a couple of fresh baguettes.

I would carry gayle to were ever he needs to go if we are getting 20 mill .... We wouldn't be getting £20m though. It would be a £5m advance to the Rafa kitty and the rest spread over the next year to make folk forget about the kitty we should have.

Gayle has not long opened an academy with Rob Elliot, Ritchie and Dummett plus this week been made an ambassador for disabled kids at the foundation. Not the actions of someone disillusioned.

Absolutely this.

Pack update. https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/latest-news/supporter-pack-update

The only wake up call people need is around the whole Mike Ashley ownership of us. He's strangling the growth of the football club by trying to control the way people see us and what should be our targets. The only thing Rafa is guilty of is trying to make the club the best it can be. That goes completely against the Ashley grain.

Dont know like. I was as negative as owt but watched Rafa's presser and he certainly knows how to gee you back up again. Whatever happens, he's basically saying that he's got this. I just hope he's hanging around regardless in the hope that a takeover does materialise out of nowhere.

Riviere being sold..........

Shite considering no-one was searched at the recent Spurs game aside from lasses handbags..

Ashley has given each of the 40,000 season tickets an equal share of his ownership as a leaving present. Each share worth £10k. or its a free £5 bet with Fun88 and a 5% off discount card for the kiosks at the match as well as a sticker. Wonder which one?

We're all fooked. Whatever it is will have GPS tracking devices in and Kim Jong-Un will target all of our houses.

Part of me is thinking that Rafa is only staying because he is either party to getting someone in to buy the club or he wants to be here when we're eventually sold to try to realise the potential. Be a right sickener to walk and then find out that Joe Bloggs Ltd have taken over.

I sit in the Gallowgate middle, 2 sections from the strawberry corner and as per usual the atmosphere was decent. Didn't hear Spurs one jot until they scored and in our end my head was ringing a few times due to the din from us. It never EVER comes across well on TV unless Sky or the usual media spin stick their microphones amongst the 30 crystal palace fans with a drum and try to pass it off as Brazil in the Maracana.

The big problem with the idea in the first place was that everyone up here associates the 'town moor' as the land where they go when the funfair is here. This bit of land is not, it's around half a mile South West and past the Central Motorway and RVI. A field full of s***, cows and students taking shortcuts as well as dog walkers putting the squeeze on something that would boost the city ten fold.

No, the area wasn't the town moor. It was the strip of land just beside Leazes Park and to this day is just a shit tip of land which has a mix of cows and students using it beside run down housing.

Full interview apparently on Super Sunday, if you can stomach it. Nah it's a specific programme - 7pm for an hour. wait there's a one hour special ashley interview? 30 minutes according to the tv guide, still 30 minutes of bullshit no doubt May be worth watching for him to announce a sale and then do a mic drop at the end.

The club dont even know chest sizes so there'll be no shirt giveaways. Be lucky to get a poster and a signed SD mug.

Once Ashley dies, as that will be the only way he'll let go of his gravy train reigns, any potential ambitious owner will just build a new stadium elsewhere if the demand is there. It's the only way so forget tradition.

It was just a hunch based on not looking at them properly and relying on the non-football following wife to do detective work via her phone on getting their identity. I just loaded up the nufc official website and got her to point the 3 out and for those wondering, no she hasn't a guide dog as her vision is spot on. I think.

Was in Pizza Hut in Silverlink tonight and spent most of it thinking that Yedlin, Darlow and Lazaar were on the table behind. Mainly because of the mix of accents and the conversation being around Newcastle. Also the fact that im not the type to approach players and via a method of passing phones around to the wife to ask her if they were player A, B or C, she said she thought they looked like them. To cut a long story short, were they fuck. They were some people that were shooting some sort of videos at the training ground/St James' and had got the full works including free match tickets. The American bloke still looked like Yedlin mind....
