Same here, he offers absolutely nothing.

Nice

Joking aside, their two goalkeepers are two of the worst I've ever seen in professional football. Absolutely glorious to watch.

The managerial appointments were always polar opposites of the last guy. Robson was considered too soft and pally with the players... #HitzfeldIn will forever be a shattered dream. I suggested Hitzfeld as next manager to him when sat alongside him in traffic back in the day. He appointed Roeder iirc the following week.

Pissed away the legacy left by Hall making himself a very rich man in the process, then sold us to Ashley. No tears from me.

Can't see it, not yet, but heard last week that there were rumours coming out of the SoS via staff members that something was happening and it would result in job losses. It will be just that. Bain will be cutting the headcount as corporate bookings have dried up, match day is only seeing 20k or so regardless of the official figures and those who are going just aren't spending money. There's been talk of closing parts of the stadium and moving the away fans, there's also talk that land owned (i think this refers to training and academy) has already been sold and will come out in the next accounts. There's even suggestions the club doesn't even own the stadium anymore. Whatever part of any of that is true, its a total mess, however the 40% cut in wages has saved them. Without that the club would be in Administration right now, but the wages are reportedly under £40m pa, ans while the parachute payments are still coming in there is room to downsize and keep asset stripping, selling players to recover some money back. Until that is no longer the case, or the do the unthinkable and secure a double relegation, then they'll keep doing what they're doing and avoid Admin. Though its just existing to die, there really is no hope for them until this comes to its natural end which is Administration. A lovely read that.

Two years later, and my opinion about Mitrovic hasn't changed after watching him for the first time against Arsenal. Are you seriously trying to tell me I was wrong? You watched like a few minutes of a 20 year old kid man You've tried to defend yourself as some kind of oracle ever since and it's been weird as f***. Defend myself as some kind of oracle :lol: Dry your eyes man you absolute fanny.

Very much this.

Ah man, I'm about to go into a proper formal meeting situation and have read this whilst waiting. Gonna burst out laughing now. That really is a top post. The American shrink bit is brilliant Cheers.

Is this Little Waster character mental Stevie? The silly old cunt.

He's moving in around the corner from me in Jesmond Vale

So, it's volatile to question why he's staying just like Pardew and other assorted time wasters and w*****s did.? He has something called a contract.

Is Stevie the old mentalist back again?

I wrapped my 25 year season ticket in a couple of years ago after we scraped survival under Pardew....I vowed I'd never go back until a) Ashley f***ed off, or b) he actually showed some ambition at the club. Even though we were relegated, I thought keeping and backing Rafa in the Championship was ambition of sort and I starting going back to games last season, also because my son was at an age where he wanted to go to games too. Really enjoyed last year, not just because we were winning matches, but I felt Rafa had put some pride back into the place, it actually felt alive again. On the strength of the that, I bought some season tickets for myself and the lad in the Gallowgate and was really looking forward to the new season. I know someone who works with Rafa, so I've been aware he hasn't been happy for a while with regards the transfer dealings, but it's now quite clear he's been used purely to get us promoted and has been forced into a corner for openly criticizing the big f***ing baby owner. I'm going to the ticket office tomorrow morning first thing to demand my season ticket money back, I know it's not going to happen, but I'll genuinely feel better. When Rafa goes (and part of me hopes he walks tomorrow), that will definitely be it for me until that odious c*** leaves the club. I've had enough and the fans deserve so much better than this.

Fucks sake, can this window get any worse. Probably.

That's got to be one of the most exaggerated comments I've read on NO and that's saying something. He possibly wasn't even the worst GK on the pitch that day There was a close up on Elliot and you could actually see his spare tyre. Seriously not good enough for a supposed professional footballer, just Sunday league stature I was right behind that shot he spilled at the beginning of the 2nd half. Straight at him.and he pushed it out right into the middle of the goal, terrible keeping......although to be fair his recovery/2nd save was good.

Love this from my favourite pod cast, tremendous Mackem pisstaking at the start. https://audioboom.com/posts/6240268-ep-49-rafa-and-the-spherical-lump

Has anyone seen Chris Balloon?

Nowhere near as boring as you though, you utter cunt.

Wasn't Odin one of last season's principal bed-wetters. Him and Dokko were right up there iirc. And Chris Balloon.

I'm hearing the words 'Columbian necktie'.

Just got myself settled in a bar in Spain to watch this evening's matches.....couple of gobshite pseudo Arsenal fans from the West Country on my left, a family of fat Mackem mouth breathers on my right. Been afforded a first look at their new home strip too...deary fucking me. I'll give it about half an hour tops.

Eagerly awaiting his spin on a Jewish accent for shure.
