Cardiff and Huddersfield are 2 places gone We look the next worst. One of us or Brighton will join the other two and if it is us we would deserve it for our lack of trying to compete. If it's not this season then it's certainly next season

Could say that for a lot of our team too Fernandez- sold by relegated Swansea Yedlin- hardly tore it up at Sunderland and happily sold by Spurs Diame- sold by hull who weren't too fussed about selling him Ritchie- Bournemouth content to let him go Shelvey- Swansea happy to get rid of Kenedy- couldn't get a game at Watford and miles off chelseas team Rondon- loaned out by relegated West Brom and seemingly no competition for him Joselu- a stoke city cast off Atsu- could hardly get a look in at Bournemouth Ki- free from relegated Swansea Just a squad of cast offs and bargain bucket signings from smaller clubs. Great recruitment strategy which will have us relegated again in the next 2 years

Weren't people saying last night we seem to have had a bad record at Palace? We have lost there once since 1984, which is 10 games, winning 6 of them. Don't think we fared too well at Wimbledon like

Either you are blind or the people you associate with are all thick as fuck. All over Facebook all I'm reading on newcastle pages is people digging at Rafa whilst there's barely any anti Ashley stuff Unbelievable man

The amount of morons I'm reading who are all slagging Rafa off whilst there's barely any comments about Ashley. God we are fucked if our own fans can't even see the obvious

Palace starting 11 approx 105m Ours approx 45m

37% possession against Crystal Palace man

He is a squad player. Had we bought a number 10 he wouldn't be playing. Could say the same about 80% of the team just change the position to fit

It begins. Bit of faith restored

Go on, buy Palace. He's got some fucking nerve. Surely to god there is non stop abuse towards him from the away end

Last year. Not much difference though. It's woeful. But so is the majority of our squad. A striker on loan from relegated West Brom

Rightly so too. Around 2007 we were one of the top 6 and not long since we had been in the champions league last 16. After manure Arsenal Liverpool Chelsea it was us and Spurs best places to sign the best talent Ashley just choose to monumentally fuck that strong position up

He's just like me love and hate the club at the same time and won't step foot near the place

Man City -1 Liverpool -1 Palace Leicester Leeds West Brom 18/1 Price to win and Joshua to win by tko/ko 6/1 Price to win and Joshua to win on points 18/1

I’m the same mate. I think the season beyond the same ol up is a massive waste of time. Our players seem nice lads and have some talent and are doing their best and it could end tomorrow for me the enjoyment I get from the football side. I also love something explosive to set a spark up all our beleaguered, apathy riddled arses too as a fan base. Unfortunately you’re just lashing out without rationale. True. I just don't know where to go from here though and need an outlet for my passion and anger. I think seeing people looking forward to matches an that on here makes me wonder how, but it was only 12 months ago I was going to Swansea and Southampton and loving it and there will have been people then like I am now so suppose everyone has different breaking points

I just want and need some genuine reason to get behind the team on the pitch again and something to look towards, as it just seems a waste of time and money to go to games singing rafas name just to aim for 17th, then he leaves in May then it all comes to an end anyhow. I just think I'm mentally preparing and accepting it's over now rather than go through this long slow death and wait until May

I mean this just isn’t true. It’s overdue but not absent. Not on here it isn't. Everyone gets it on here but I mean in general they don't

Possibly yes. I am just obsessed with getting Ashley out I can't look past anything else, the football side of is totally irrelevant too me now, I really wish it wasn't as I loved it and I would go to as many matches home and away as I could. Saturdays feels empty not been obsessed in NUFC

I'm just so so pissed off at what Ashley has done to this club and fanbase and how much he is killed something I've been passionate about and it enrages me hardly anybody even seems bothered that's all

He is only here for money though as if it wasn't for the 6m clause he would have walked? If not then it's even worse as he's putting up with this shit and serving up early cup exits like the other wet lettuces before him If he's leaving in may anyway and when he goes everyone goes and it all comes crashing down then what's the point in all this now? As I genuinely can't see it or feel zero for it as much as I've really tried. As I said I've gone from doing aways last season to wanting us to lose now. It's like trying to do up a car as it's speeding off the edge of a cliff. Pointless The only thing that can be done is to stop going and mass protests but people just will not do it they would rather bury there head in the sand and hope we can park the bus for a point at Crystal Palace. Minging club and fanbase now it really is

What's wrong about what I posted then? Results, premier league, Rafa Benitez and the rest all are pointless at this point getting Ashley out is the only thing that matters yet people don't seek to grasp that. There is nothing to support or get behind. If the stadium was empty and there was mass trouble and protests every home game maybe it would work but people are too selfish to try A win today and most will be appeased again. We need a good hammering to ramp it up a notch further, short term pain for long term gain.

Do that all you want it's true

Sounds like he should walk iyam. I never said that. So I'm not allowed to comment about anything in this thread then? Him banging on about seeing what happens in January man, every man and his dog knows he's getting shafted again so why is he coming out with this bollocks. Yes with proper backing he was the man and he would have taken us back into Europe and cup runs if he had the squad. But with no investment he isn't some messiah or saviour figure anymore, he's just hanging around here as it's the best job he will get in England and will even be happy to adjust his plans to to just stay up and dish up more early cup exits. Other managers would be slaughtered for that but he has people blind to it, keeping the heat off Ashley and making out he is bigger than the club. It's ridiculous. It's at the point now he's a hindrance to the clubs future as the majority won't utter a bad word about the rotten club while he is here. The wrath would be a week of kicking off then 50,000 in silence the next home game. Spook them they are well aware he could leave In May but they don't care less man. They are just using him for a couple of years of keeping them on the pl gravy train then they will find someone else next season if needs be, they will be happy to gamble again next season and if they go down they will just fund promotion again. As Odin said above no manager with integrity would work under Ashley! He's only here apparently for his money, yet gets worshipped on here somehow. I guess I just see any manager we have under Ashley as an extension of the fat cunt.

Has he had complete memory loss? Staggering how he still thinks he is going to get what he wants after the shafting he has had last 2 summers. Sounds like he is going to just change the goal from top 10 to staying up for Ashley and just carry on
