Anyone feel like we can't strike a ball cleanly? Plagued by deflections and ricochets

Willock seems confused whenever he gets the ball. Needs to more decisive and as someone says have a bit conviction in your play.

Fucking Burnley just reverted to hoof-mania? JUMP! KICK! EAT PIES!

Confidence must have a lot to do with this, we look so fragile.

This your first Newcastle game or something It is poor though.

2-0 We are building and our luck will turn, I hope.

Mid season introducing something basic which we never even had to start with. It screams temporary measure and people should really treat it as such. Not sure I can be arsed to lose my shit over some artificial grass and an exercise bike. If it serves a purpose in the short term then happy days. If it exists in a couple years time then yeah, it would look poor and I'm sure by then some more telling issues will have been outed.

Very true. The very fact people couldn't even muster the energy to watch us on TV, talk about the football, Willingly wanting us to lose was just so fucking unhealthy (me most definitely included) I can accept being relegated, playing shit etc. if I at least know the club is trying to be a better version of itself. It feels nice just being a football fan again.

Last night actually knocked the wind out of my sails, which is a first for absolutely ages. It's bittersweet, I'm happy the club is at least now trying to be a normal football club, but unfortunately everything is going tits up around us and it seems almost inescapable relegation. But we (mostly) all said that we would take relegation if it meant the back of Ashley. So I'll sit and take my medicine and support them through this new era.

I'm getting the whiff of gravy here lads.

Yes

Not sure that'll help me much with the missus Bold prediction, 2-1 good performance. Otherwise we are fucked.

Weighing up taking the youngin tonight. She's only 6 and has never been before. Feel like this could be a game to potentially make or break her Newcastle supporting career. Could also fracture my marriage taking the bairn to a football match at 8pm on a school night.

Shouldn't bother me, and I feel a fucking tit even thinking about it, but... I can already see the state of the media and other fans/clubs when we go down. I'm trying to make peace with it now because they will be like a randy tomcat with 3 balls.

Just can't believe the almost insurmountable shit show we have been left now Ashley et al have gone. No amount of coaching is going to suddenly transform this squad, it's just too limited. We can hope for better performances than those under Bruce, but we are so lacking in nearly every department it feels an uphill struggle.

The Gravy Bowl, and the seahorses on the logo replaced with grimace and the hamburglar. It's coming.

Tbh if there was stricter governance by an independent body, would that not have made our takeover easier? Just seems the PL didn't want to entertain the idea until they were forced into legal proceedings. Whereas an independent regulator may have applied the process more fairly? Sure there will be corruption in independent regulation regardless

Because even when you're the moral capital of the world, you still have to get dem cheap laughs in.

Graeme Jones "FUCKING GREAT BALL!"

Which makes their obsession with us being a playtoy for legitimately minted owners for them to make some chump change even more wild. Their owner has no actual wealth attributed to him personally, and safc are more likely to suffer from the above scenario than fucking pif trying to make a few million off us to fill their multi-billion coffers.

They hired and sacked this cunt yet?

Had a look on the ready to groom this morning for a laugh. Other than asking a question on whether they can lure Blackpool's manager, who is at a better club in a higher division. They're still obsessed with the takeover as much as us but their outlook is very different. Still pushing the "they are only trying to make a quick buck" line and the Reubens are abusing the council for land, whilst Amanda is just here as a front to the murderous/rapist/insertinsulthere Saudis. Because there is no way our new owners want to attempt to do what most club owners do, no of course not. They're just *super villains looking to make some money and then leave us high and dry. Picked the wrong club if that's the case *Could make a case for KSA here mind.

Sure it's in the pipeline for them to move from Benton park view to a city centre location. Not sure of the reason why tbh

Can any play in goal next match?

We are seriously on the precipice. Get a win or preferably two in next couple games and we are still in touching distance. We need to be there or thereabouts come January and hope we can bring in the necessary reinforcements to help us push on. I honestly don't think our first team is terrible, it's just the squad is dogshit. Put me down for a 8, for now
