Absolutely outstanding today. Think we've found an absolute gem. Obligated to buy him for £6m, n'al. Mint.

Good piece.

Richard Keys seems to have an agenda.

I love Rafa, me.

The reason is Mike Ashley. Rafa loves the club and fans. Rafa is a man of integrity. Rafa has never broken a contract. Mike Ashley is c***, but I think Rafa will at least see through to the end of this season. I agree with all of that but still, Mike Ashley remains a huge and very real reason why he would at least consider, going. The next 5 days could tip Rafa over the edge to the point where he feels like he has no option other than to leave. Not many people could love the club and the fans more than Kevin Keegan but twice, events inside the club left him with no option other than to leave. I've no clue what the craic was when Keegan walked out in '97, but the last time certainly. If we get some additions I think it's nailed on that he'll be here until the end of this season at the very least. If not, then I'll start worrying again. Want to enjoy a 3-0 win in the PL, if Sky don't want us to, they can fuck off.

It's insane man. If we drew or lost today, we would've been slated and so would Rafa. A win would mean talk of him going to West Ham. They can stick their fucking over of our away supporters up their arses as well.

He won't allow Kenedy, a winger/full back to leave, until he has a striker?

It's as much of an upgrade as Cabaye > Colback was a downgrade that's for sure. I fucking hate that silver haired cunt Pardew.

I think you're mixed up. Inter want him to choose us for a bigger fee for Inter.

We bring in players, which he's confident of us doing (pls) he's got no reason to go to West Ham if they sack Bilic, none at all. I genuniely don't think he'd go there.

Inter want Jovetic to choose us as we're offering more money apparently.

Fuck off, Sky. We literally can't win.

Well, you've got the 1st part right. Wonder if the last one comes true or not now. Said 3-0, although rather hopefully, to my dad in the pub before. Let's hope the rest happens apart from the nuclear war of course. Unless Ashley's house gets attacked by Kim Jong Un. Would take that.

Hope she was a right munter.

A few pints later and I thorougly enjoyed today, we were great, Ritchie, Hayden and Merino outstanding. Thought they were very poor, the shot off the line by Clark aside they had absolutely nothing. Punished them for it which is pleasing, could've been 4 or 5 with Ritchie's shot towards the end of the second half and Mitro's first 1v1, his second was a great finish though. Think Rafa will at the very least see out the season. Still need investment badly. The team worked extremely hard for that today and if we have to do that every week we're going to struggle to keep that work rate up. Nevertheless, enjoyed it very much today and it's put me in a fantastic mood, especially compared to this morning and last night.

About to set off, shitting myself.

f*** off blaming the fans, man. It's Mike, not the supporters. Remember when Pardew blamed the fans? It's a c***'s trick. Most wrongly blaming the fans are subscribers of SKY which funds Mike far far more than any turnstile. 2 games into the season and already the internet turns on fellow fans, a good percentage of whom have been going for decades. Love owt like this. I gave up going 3 years ago because I couldn't stomach putting a single penny more in Mike Ashley's pocket. If everyone else had done the same, he'd be a distant memory. An absolute martyr. Keep doing what you're doing mate, cling on to Mike. He'll change. He's promised. If nobody turned up to games Mike would still be here collecting the huge amounts of TV money. Money which dwarves the gate receipts. "Distant memory" He's a money man and cares not one bit about the fans. Your opinion, I disagree. Keep stuffing your money into his pockets. See how much it helps. Emily Davison - Threw herself infront of the King's horse. Rosa Parks - refused to give up her seat for a white man Wullie - watches the matches on Sky instead Snide streams actually. Fight the power. Not having a go here whatsoever Wullie, but what are your thoughts on the "never give up on supporting your club, he is one man" Keegan quote? Nice sentiment, doesn't work in reality. He's the most ruthless of businessmen, and allowing sentiment to cloud judgement is what he thrives on, why he bought Newcastle, because he knows the supporters will fill his pockets come hell or high water. It also completely depends on your interpretation of supporting the club. As far as I'm concerned the best thing any supporter could do is not go to matches if/when Rafa goes. People have far too simple a view of what it is to be a fan imo. For me it's not about enduring s*** and wearing it as a badge of honour, it's about doing what's within your power as a fan to help the club as much as possible. To repeat, as far as I'm concerned, the best thing anyone could do under Ashley is to stop going to matches. People can obviously think differently, but to me it's as clear as anything. The bold is what I'm going to try my best to do should it come to that. It'd be hard for me personally, I posted a few weeks back in the Bystanders thread why it would be.

Bet we win 3-0 tomorrow and announce Jovetic and Praet coming in and Lazaar, Krul and Colback moving out, only to be flattened by nuclear war the day after.
