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. Everyone has their own opinions, we may disagree with them or whatever but ultimately, the vast majority are on this forum because we love Newcastle United, and united is what the entire fanbase is going to have to be tomorrow to show how much Rafa means to us, or to be able to drive that fat cockney cunt out of the club if Rafa leaves. Maybe I'm getting naivety getting the better of me but I reckon the fans will be more united in a protest and/or organising protests against Ashley if it happens. I know I will, no idea why anyone else shouldn't either; I've only known an Ashley owned-NUFC and I'll fight as much as I can for change. If I can recognise that, why can't at least 25,000 others?

Same. 3 if he stays. Still almost refuse to believe Rafa Benitez will take a team down if given a full season.

Spot on. Same.

There genuinely is no hope if he's forced out is there. Why do we have to have that absolute cunt as our owner, man...

If we don't sign anyone between now and the deadline, I think he's off. If we do, he'll at least see out the season imo.

I know, paraphrasing transfer rumours from all news outlets big and small into tweets, such bullshit.

Guessing it's the Rafa flag. https://twitter.com/gallowgateflags/status/901151243468500992

Might be one for the braindead thread but

I love Rafa to bits and I'll back everything he does whilst he's at the club, but this hardly inspires confidence for the lad.

The best pound for pound value etc etc

NUFC360 paraphrasing the Chronicle article:

He was only here one season, and in that season we finished as high as we did thanks to his goals and Cabaye, and he was injured for a part of it. Best striker we've had alongside Ba in the Ashley era, as grim as that is. If he can replicate what he was like under Pardew then happy days, but I can't see it, which is the reason I'd prefer us going for Jovetic. He's practically admitted that in the press. "We go from signing what you want to what you can".

He's probably the best striker I've seen play for us since going to games, when I started going Shearer was in his last season.

If he can get his fitness and confidence back then great. Can't see it though unfortunately.

Thoughts, VI?

Would have had 20 if he didn't get injured IMO, his pace made him really hard to stop. I worry that he's lost all that though. Think he suffered when we lost Cabaye as well, mind. Can't remember fully 2013/14 (probably for the better) but I can't remember when he was injured? I know he got sent off at Norwich and came back against Villa and scored a last minute winner and then got one at Hull where Pards butted Meyler but I can't remember fully. First half of that season he was quality though.

It's been a while since he was any good, be a risk imo. Was the best striker since Ba though. 14 goals in a Pardew managed team.

Fuck off. I blame Groo.
