We've absolutely robbed them of a point today

Hayden telling Bruce to resign midway through the first half. All time low.

Anyone else feel like they're watching this in Slo mo. Everything we do is so slow, every pass, run, tackle, everything.

Great win for the lads & fantastic for Bruce, good job Rafa left his tactical plans on the desk.

Jetro for Jonjo seems to have confused things

Anyone know what system we are playing?

Great signing. If only one of his bullet headers wins us 3 points it'll be worth whatever we pay him.

If you go you justify the regime, if you don't go you don't justify the regime, it's quite simple. I thought we'd got a bit extreme. I only don't go because of Ashley. The day the fucker sells up I'm spamming the f5 button for my season ticket.

If we're saying if you go to games you justify the regime but if you don't go you're not a proper supporter then we are all buggered.

My name is number9shirt and I'm a Newcaholic

I don't go to games, i'm not as enthusiastic as I used to be & I care even less now Rafa has left. I want Bruce out as much as I do Ashley. But as we all do I still retain an interest in & support Newcastle United.

We support Newcastle United not mike ashley. I won't stop supporting my club just because ashley is a c**t. Would the definition of support not include a desire to see your team do better? Are you happy with the merchandising vehicle the club has become? Or do you just want to turn a blind eye to Mike Ashley, Steve Bruce, Jack Colback and all the other abject people now entrenched at the club? Because another 38 games battling relegation is definitely something I couldn't look forward to as a supporter. I don't endorse ashley & supporting NUFC shouldn't be considered so. The point is I chose to support Newcastle before Ashley & I'll still choose to support my team long after he's gone.

We support Newcastle United not mike ashley. I won't stop supporting my club just because ashley is a c**t.

Finally Jetro is a Geordie. Bas Dost next...

Looking forward to the market opening hopefully the share price tanks and this tax thing in Europe finishes him. I really think it could be the beginning of the end.

Your posts are inferring that Rafa has somehow shafted us by applying for the Leicester job. It's fairly clear that Rafa was left with no choice than to look for another job. I in no way infer Rafa shafted us. He did not.

Rafa at Chelsea Big Sam at Everton Allardyce at West Ham too. McLaren at Newcastle

passion & quality are very different Rafa has a cold approach to players Steven Gerrard will attest to that. Apparently the training ground is a happier place with Bruce. Rafa isn't really a players manager where as Bruce is but invariably there the worst ones

Once again I am not pro Ashley or anti Rafa. A few years ago I met someone who knew stuff close to Rafa and the club, they knew Rafa chose us, that he applied for Leicester and that he had already decided to leave by may. I do not believe anything Ashley has to say.

Unfortunately I think mike is right on this one. You sir, are a rectangle. Rafa made too many demands (same as at previous clubs) he wanted to go to China & signed a pre contract agreement he also applied for the Leicester job. Go form an opinion, research both sides of the argument or failing that just f*** off. Actually, 2nd shot here. f*** off, I mean that, you’re on the wrong place here. This place is full of people who have done so much for this club. People who started the flags, the singing corners etc, all of them on here. People who started Ashley Out, the Magpie group, all on here. People who have took up their own time to look into how Ashley conducts his businesses and how it effects NUFC, on here. People who have tried to ask him questions, even buying shares in his companies to do so, on here. People who have put their hands in their pockets to start protests against him, on here. People who have put their faces to protests and risked pesky legal action designed to intimidate them into submission, on here. People who have got into contact with business contacts in order to make attempts to buy the club, on here. These people are on here, and they have done more to support this club than those who just accept what Ashley says, buying season tickets and merchandise blindly. If you want to do that, Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit are readily available, but don’t come here and start spitting the s*** you have licked off Ashley’s arse to us. 10 years ago I protesed, I joined nust, and haven't been to a game since (health issues plus Ashley) I stayed away from this forum until the fans turned against pardew. I only buy merch because of my neice although I did buy the 125th anniversary shirt. I love Rafa as much as anyone he represented pride, ambition & most importantly the reason we all follow the game hope. I have not turned against him just talking about things I know related to Ashley Rafa & the club. If I come across as an ashley apoligist I'm sorry I am not, just trying to present a reasoned argument and sick of being called names for it. Watching football with my neice gives me a more philosophical veiw on the game, I can't tell her to hate a player or even Ashley. I was enjoying it for what it was. I sincerely hope we get a new owner, we've all waited too long for success and want to see us win a major trophy before I end up in the terraces in the sky. Give the article a read & follow @IntravenusMP if you want a balanced view on nufc/ashley. Well done to everyone who has made the effort to rid the club of the the fat man. And Stifler well done on getting to the point.

Doesn’t take much to change a mind like. Small mind Congratulations on going to the effort of finding this quote to prove nothing.

Should clarify Rafa made too many demands than an owner would like. I've not turned on Rafa he's a hero, as i said previously learnt new info after he left.

Unfortunately I think mike is right on this one. You sir, are a rectangle. Rafa made too many demands (same as at previous clubs) he wanted to go to China & signed a pre contract agreement he also applied for the Leicester job. Go form an opinion, research both sides of the argument or failing that just f*** off. There is no evidence to suggest that Rafa applied for the Leicester job, just that he was linked to it. If anything, he turned it down. Rafa has many offers from China before his current job, he even joked about it in one interview. At anytime he could have left NUFC for much bigger pay, he never did. It wasn’t until after 3 years of Ashley when he decided he could no longer fight him, he was even rumoured to be one the one who got Staveley interested in buying the club. Ashley says he went for the money and was never loyal though, and stupid people will believe that. Let’s not forget that it was only a year ago Ashley and Charnley were offering Rafa to the Spanish FA for national managers job. Rafa stayed for the fans. Definitely did apply for Leicester though as he would like to have stayed in England. Rafa informed ashley & charnley he would leave at their meeting in may.

I already knew what Ashley has now said about Rafa & since Rafa left I've learnt new info. People should give it a try. I assure you nobody is falling for the lies. I recommend reading @IntavenusMP
