    Rafa Benítez

    did you watch the game at all? Actually no but I imagine in the 2nd half, we dropped deeper and deeper and defended for our lives. We were so galant but unfortunately they scored 3 goals and we came away with no points.........again. Just saying, Rafa instinct is to hit on the break, get a goal and shut up shop. Unfortunately the team can shut up shop and so what happens is we end of losing. Now the double trouble for Rafa is that he no strikers that can get a goal back. I think that means that NUFC is screwed! Jog on sausage jockey
  2. It’s funny he says he’s going to be more hands on with the club. With those fat sausage fingers he’ll be lucky to hold on to his cock when he’s having a piss.
  3. Not a big deal in the scheme of things but once again he reveals what a big 'baby man' he is. He pulls a move that a spoilt kid would do behind the back of his parents when they've just told him to clean his room. The irony is he thought he was safe behind the tinted window, fair play to the street lamp.
  4. Spot on post. It's about maintaining the preassure in order to build on it. The last thing we need to be doing is pointing fingers at each other which ends up only relieving the pressure that should be put on Ashley. As it goes i'm very much in agreement with Tubes that the fans need to stop going, but there is much to do first before that becomes a reality, and if TMG can keep applying preasure and building on it, then it just may be Ashley out the door before the fans.

    Had me creased that when he walks back looking at the statue like he’s expecting it to say something, before he launches into another volley of abuse. New song: I’d rather punch a horse than shout at stones.
  6. Give Ashley money to tell him that you hate him. http://www.meegoh.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/u-mad-bro-meme.jpg

    Perfect reply. someone get Jack a pint.
  8. This team under Pardew would be like a satanic ritual. Hot & sexy?
  9. Socialists tend to favour the state apparatus, especially when they have control. Anarchists wish to abolish such apparatus. Your man with the megaphone is clearly of the former position.

    And it seems we live in a world where the latter is normalised, even defended. And the former is laughed at, ridiculed.
  11. i'm sure there's probably a song in there to the 'Are You Being Served' theme tune.
  12. If Charnley was in anyway a fan of the club he would of resigned. He must of given fatty a bro-job after a few stella's and the fat man got it on his phone.

    Not if we win a cup. Ashley doesn't want to win one.
  14. View of an Evertonian taken from the Guardian comments page: I was lucky enough to live on or around Tyneside for nearly 20 years. I taught at Newcastle College at the main site in Rye Hill and the John Marley School/Centre in Benwell for quite a lot of that time and when not travelling across the A69 and down the M6 to watch Everton, I occasionally watched the magnificent side Keegan built in the 90s lift the city’s inhabitants. Just before that era, fellow Huytoner (and fellow pie worrier) Micky Quinn was knocking them in for fun for them. I’ve a lot of affection for the club and area. It’s a cliché, but nevertheless true, there is nowhere I’ve ever been to quite like Newcastle on a match-day. As I’d sit, pissing my life away, in one of the many excellent dens of iniquity, usually on or around the Ouseburn Valley, the atmosphere flowed around me at times, like a warm comforting blanket of hope, solidarity and a hefty dollop of gallows humour (Gallowgate humour?). It is something I still miss. As an outsider looking in, I was privileged to witness how the near success of a football team and the swashbuckling way they played the game seemed to lift a whole city. During the period of the ‘entertainers’ it seemed to my febrile imagination that the average Geordie grew a few inches taller with pride during that era. I left the area for the Northumberland hills three days after ‘Sir Bobby’ died in 2009 and still have very close friends who are season ticket holders. (Or more accurately ‘were’ season ticket holders– a couple of them have jacked-in for this season, picking their future games, worn down by ‘mendacity and lack of interest’ from the owner) This is why it affects me to witness the seeming complete lack of responsibility and care from Mr Ashley. For me, an unashamed romantic with perhaps a false sense of how important football is to a city and its inhabitants, Ashley’s period of ownership has been almost criminal in its neglect. I absolutely empathise with the Newcastle Central Labour MP Chi Onwurah who argues that Ashley has been ‘exploiting their club, their fans and their local community’ for far too long. For those who gloat about this, and there will be quite a few, there always is; consider how the present piss take of ‘fit and proper’ test might one day apply to some carpet bagger who buys a controlling share of your club and uses your hopes and dreams as a vehicle to further their own agenda and give nary a hoot about your ambition for a successful football club. There is absolutely nothing in place to stop this happening. I wish them well in the coming months, but if the very excellent, proud and fiercely loyal Benitez finally runs out of patience, and I think Mr Ashley might just push him too far, as it’s what he specialises in - there may be a long hard season in front of them. No club ‘deserves’ success or failure, nor to be a natural inhabitant of the top flight in English football – but a season without a trip to the Newcastle away game always feels a bit bereft to me. I hope they get a solid mid table finish – but I fear more dark days may be heading for ‘The Toon’ My guess is anywhere between 10th and 14th with Benitez – almost certain relegation and a panic replacement without the effervescent Spaniard. original article: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/aug/08/premier-league-preview-2018-19-newcastle-united
  15. I take it you’ll be at the next AGM yourself?
