  1. Fine with me. At least I'd still have a club to support.
  2. Hardly a case of them 'throwing it away' if they do. The mackems have been the better side - streets ahead of us in every department. OK, game over, but startling how much better the mackems look than us.
  3. Nah, this is never the best thing. Regardless of the situation, that's still the last thing we want. Not according to the poll on here, 54 % wants to be relegated We've been relegated recently, bounced back with ease and now ended up in exactly the same position except with foreigners who seemingly now don't care rather than overpaid british players who couldn't really be arsed. Yes, Ashley is the biggest problem of all and his on going managerial appointments are f***ing tragic but how many relegations should we suffer? If we go down, we might not runaway with the championship again and if we do go down, and Ashley stays, do we then want another relegation to league 1 to see if that makes him sell the club? I personally just don't think wishing the worst on us is the way forward in sheer hope Ashley eventually caves in. We would need to be down to League 1 at least, if not lower. Basically just giving up on NUFC and waiting is the way to go. Or failing that, try to ignore the bigger picture and just watch the match. I've given up, racked in my ST after 20 years. I would take conference right now if it meant getting rid of the slug. I watch the games on TV/internet and go a couple of times a season now - always last day. I guess I am one of those who is 'waiting'. Not really fussed if we get arse-raped on Sunday. The slug has destroyed the club and it won't recover until he's away.

    He could do a job for Blackpool FC. There's another asset-stripping outfit that treats its supporters with contempt, just like ourselves.
  5. Save 50p and get the current shirt from Ali Express which is very, very close in 'quality' to the £48 Puma 'nappy' abortion selling at the moment.
  6. Rangers see it - well done them, that's insight we can only dream of - but he's got RFC by the nads even more than he does us. King doesn't have the money to 'pay him off'. He's several billion quid short.

    Bonus kicks in for a 17th-placed finish, presumably... Aye, if it's 80k basic and bonuses kick in for staying up and better then it's a decent gig. Can't blame him for giving it a shot, he'd not be the first person to hitch his cart to a c*** like Ashley for the promise of more down the line. Got it in one. Not many people here would knock that back. Though a real supporter would have to check their soul, integrity and credibility in at reception. Maybe Slugley keeps these in one of them Shit Direct 'bags for life'. Who knows? And, sadly, who cares?

    Christ, is that it? Not worth the hassle, honestly. Pretty good coin for being utterly incompetent.

    He's on about £80k. I posted this a few months back before some oracle countered with: 'no he's not'.
  11. I racked it in because of Mike Ashley. The excitement of waking on matchday (200 mile round trip for home games) had long since been replaced by absolute dread at having to go. The decision to call it a day? So, so liberating. Seeing that the 'head of security' had been stealing Bruges tickets and selling them on the day - not only keeping his job but evading prosecution - in the city neatly summed up where we were as a club. Things have not improved.
  12. 'highly unlikely' doesn't really cover it.

    Andy Cole

    He was briefly in Crook because he wanted to be alone. Someone, I forget who, opined that at the time: 'a black man in Crook would stop traffic'. He relocated to Jesmond not long thereafter. I went to his place a couple of times for bevvy sessions, though he was not a big drinker. All his Shottingham mates were. It wasn't particularly sumptuous, even though he was on £12k/wk at the time. That's, what, £35k now? When we signed Ginola, we were paying him £14k/wk - the third highest in the country at the time. Nah, man, I just meant you quoted the wrong post, no bother. You seem to know a bit, has he got a beef with NUFC? I know he really worked hard after he left us, and good for him. Is he bitter somehow though? Just can't get over that Cup Final thing. After all these years it still hurts. He's no beef with us at all. He was 'difficult' throughout his career.

    For about five minutes, until both he and the club realised what he'd done. Then is was 12 Osborne Terrace in Jesmond for 90% of his time with us. Went to a couple of decent parties there. Did you mean to quote the Crook thing there? I know he lived in Jesmond bc he used to swan into Wm Low where stepson 2 worked and big it up . I'll never forgive him for that Cup Final s***, but wish him no ill. He was briefly in Crook because he wanted to be alone.

  15. And various saved snapchats of Coman's girlfriend.

  17. They're mostly from Norwood/Croydon. I met about half-a-dozen of them when I was working at SP in 2011 at CPFC v. Blackpool. I was pleasantly surprised that they weren't as thick as you might imagine, and the accents were bearable.
  18. Did the cunt say there was 'a flare on the pitch' or 'no flair on the pitch'?
  19. He's not been good enough to start for some time, let alone play 90mins.
  20. You'd think so, wouldn't you? Nah, not at this club. He'll be here in the first eleven until his contract is up so we get our "value for money" Still 19/20 months to run on the contract extension for a player who was knacked three years ago? We might have even bought a new player with those wages, but Ashley probably sanctioned the extension out of spite.
  21. I'm somewhat surprised that anyone thought otherwise, based on the Norwich game where we still defended like Sunday league footballers. Our midfield pairing is the worst in the division, regardless of which two he picks. Most vital part of any team and ours are s***. Luckily, we haven't been complacent.
  22. That's a good shout. Redknapp has been sounding off about us even more than usual recently.
