30 mins? He's already heading over the Bermuda triangle as we speak!

Everyone loves a bit of plane watch. Fat mike's private jet G-MATO has just left Miami enroute to London. Like someone mentioned in the other thread, must be the only time we have wished Mike a safe flight in his 13 year tenure.

I haven't really got the energy to argue/debate with anyone about this and just reading it all honestly gives me a bad head. But I dont subscribe to this at all. Whilst I'm morally conflicted there is not a chance in hell that I've just went "aye f*** human rights, I just want f*** tones of money!". I want Ashley gone first and foremost. If these new owners run it as shoddily as Ashley then I'd aim the exact same criticism at them as I would Ashley now. Is it really that cut and dry, you support your club still then you must shoulder KSA human rights violations and whatever else they do?. So confused where I stand tbh KI's post was in response to those who said they'd take the Saudis above anybody else That's fair, as you can see I'm following it all closely I'm pretty sure if there was concrete evidence of 2/3 official bids for our club, and we could sit and pick which ones fit the ethos of our club, most fans would 100% choose the best fit and not just the money angle..... Then I read twitter and start to realise why people think we are idiots sometimes.

Mine flew through tbh

Look at the absolute clip of that double socket! Nevermind the fact it's a Billy basic Wickes offering but it's fucking hanging off the wall! You'd think media suites would be a bit more plush considering the interviews are beamed worldwide etc. Small thing I know, but...

Utter fucking dipshit. He's a wannabe as mentioned above and a Soopafan.

True. Our entire club is shocking at this level.

Bad mistake and obviously was costly today. Seems rich calling anyone out considering the absolute cluster fuck playing out but you can't deny that was poor.

You better believe them excuses will mutate into some other inane reason to big Bruce up/put Rafa down. Why can't people not just look at what's actually happening right now without resorting to comparison's? Like, is this version of Newcastle really something they're happy with and are they really worthy of support? Seems harsh on the players but something's got to give! We can't just keep burying our heads and accepting such mediocrity because you know, Leeds and Portsmouth blah blah Steve's a good lad from Wallsend. It's fucking rotten to its core and I'm sick of having to shelve my support because of one man and his fuckwittery.

Anyone remark on the atmosphere? Was there one?

Canny funny considering the craic with Nike and Adidas. Props to that man

Still quoting Rafa's name at the end of October. It's free real estate. He just keeps trotting out that same shite unopposed, yet if the fans use any Rafa related stat etc. they're told to move on and stop complaining. It'll be like this until we're finally relegated, and even then he'll probably use a rafa defence.

But I actually didn't know till the day before. Obviously some will take it to the nth degree but I think a lot of people are almost completely detached. If I didn't come on here (which is noticeably less than before) I honestly wouldn't have a clue about anything nufc related. Some are still emotionally involved and good for them, I wish we could all be proud of the club again because I think we all understand that NUFC could be something special in the right hands.

Fans unwilling to protest against the club they '"love" for the fear of not being perceived as the greatest fans in the stratosphere by media etc. But think turning up to an away game, witnessing a humping, then asking a player to pay for their taxi fare and direct Rafa questions at them is a perfectly reasonable way to act. *Insert surprised Pikachu face*

I know this will have been said, but.... "Wuh got wuh backsides handed to wuh" is incoming!

Completely forgot he signed for us. I'll always see this as a desperate attempt to curry favour with the fans. Because realistically he's done the square root of fuck all since he left us but be injured. Suppose he's only got to better joselu's attempt.

Can see the Matt Ritchie interview now. "The lads are really enjoying the training now and everyone is giving 110%. Rafa was too strict and would never let us go on the kamikaze for fear of injuries. And Steve taking us to McDonald's soft play for a happy meal after really helped integrate the new lads".

When you consider safc in league 1 have the AoL it's actually embarrassing and all too easily overlooked by the majority of fans. This is partly why I enjoyed having benitez at the helm. I felt like NUFC was improving as a whole (minus the main sticking point Ashley) and trying it's best to be a semi professional premier league outfit. We are so far behind the times in every department, including manager now it seems.

Say whatever you want about Chee Larnley, though. "Allegedly a senior official at the club..." Wait, there is only one senior official at the club.

Wait, did somebody say they heard some serious dirt on Charnley and didn't go on to clarify exactly what it is? I'll file that in the total bullshit archive then.

'...and that's...the Brucey way...'

Athletico minces Sean dyche song feeling very apt right now.

*Our head coach. Tbh Bruce deserves shit for taking the job, but mostly because he's clearly not suitable for the role. Dropping that interview on talksport also shows you how out of sync he is with the nufc fanbase, can't even acknowledge the malaise. Big Mike visited the training ground which he hasn't done in years so everything must be Rosey! Let's ignore 12 years of experience obviously.

I can't believe this is a direct quote? At its best it's misguided, at it's worst antagonistic. He literally just needed to shut his mouth and head down for a while and hope shit went his way. Instead he's going full Ashley
