If Bruce won the treble, you'd still hate him and never respect him? WTF :lol: It's called principles. Doubtful if you've ever had any, so understandable you don't understand what he means.

The poster who started the thread, his opinions change like the wind. I love this attitude of "well if they don't want the club to win 17th place then they shouldn't be on this board." Stop crying ffs.

Based on what ? There’s over 7000 tickets unsold, plus around 2000 missing away fans so as it stands around 9000 shy of capacity, un heard of and it’s now the norm. Hardly fucking fickle is it? Who said I was talking about matchgoers? I'm talking about people whose opinions and feelings change like the wind. Which is pretty much the definition of fickle, as you don't seem to understand this.

And if he's fucking the future of the club whilst he's still got the nerve to be here, it's not worth thinking about what he'd do if he was ever on his way out. He knows full well he can do anything he likes to this club and will face almost zero backlash. A win or 2 and it's plain sailing for him, with people talking about how amazing his choice of signings are, even though the whole quality of the squad would be infinitely higher if Ashley wasn't here.

I'd imagine from his 'highlight videos' online, as most show no end product after his many runs and tricks. Also, from his career statistics? They aren't that great in weaker leagues to be fair.

I don't have a favourite player any more, the enthusiasm has been completely drained from me. But if I did, it would certainly be a player Rafa signed, not one Ashley/who knows signed.

Such an unashamed cunt. Why anyone would give the man their money is beyond me.

Some fans are so fickle. A few points and it's back on board the Ashley and Bruce train. Hopefully Bournemouth show up and do a number on this football company.

Tbf Hatem might have missed clean through like ASM did the other day...if he tried to take it round the keeper, twice. He was in a different league to this boy in terms of ability and end product.

It's like some surreal universe, the funniest thing is a few more wins and the whole stadium will probably be singing his name. The nearly full stadium is another reason Ashley's got it so comfortable too.

Good balanced post.

I hope everyone leaves, fans, players, but mainly Ashley. Until then fuck the 'club'. Stay off the match thread if it fucking bothers you.

Yep, nailed it.

He's not a Newcastle United signing, he's an Ashley signing, signed to benefit Ashley not NUFC. It does look like there might be some talent in there, but none of us should want Ashley's ridiculous actions to be in some way vindicated. That's why for me it's imperative that both Joelinton, and the club as a whole, fail badly this season.

Amazing. Can't say I'm that surprised. Particularly, earlier on in the season he did some fantastic stuff when the ball was played into him. It's so much harder to see because the team in general is not functioning at all in an attacking sense. Genuinely think that if Rafa was still here and we had this exact team in place we'd be amazed at what it would be doing in general, and how good Joelinton would look. Playing devil's advocate here but he may be getting the ball in less threatening areas, hence it being easier to win headers and easier to hold onto the ball than in the attacking third (which we're never in tbf). Then we have so little possession that he's got plenty of chances to win more tackles and the like. Does he get as high a percentage of his shots on target as Rondon? As many assists? The highlight for me yesterday was his attempt to control Longstaff's pass escaping him by about 10 yards leading directly to the sending off.

Yeah, I feel apathy about individual things happening in games, but pain about the situation of the club. I actually felt better when Wolves scored, the only thing that makes it logical is Newcastle losing and getting relegated. Otherwise Ashley is shafting us and getting what he wants. Same, if we win / avoid relegation the only winner is Ashley. I actively want us to lose.

:lol: How many fucking times man?

This is definitely correct. I'd be surprised if we actually parted with more than £20 million for him.

Not that hard to believe really. Have to say I knew we were playing today, didn't know who or what time like Will be watching it at home, hope the longstaffs have another good experience but other than that... Mehhh. I knew we were playing Chelsea but didn't know if it was today, tomorrow or Monday. Apathy rules where Ashley's club is concerned.

Cack under Rafa?! He transformed us FFS! Anyone who thinks that doesn’t understand football Unfortunately a sizeable proportion of NUFC's support falls into this category.

He has claimed a lot of things. Not many of them turn out to be true.

All the club cares about is PR. Evidenced by their pathetic lie-filled statement, as well as this Kenyon bollocks continuing on.
