Phil Neville on the Ashley payroll

Was it hell...my mate sent me loads of photos during the game. East Stand and Gallowgate were basically completely full. Leaves had that large pocket of about 1000 empty seats. Milburn Stand was full apart from the usual empty seats at the top of the platinum club. Level 7 looked basically full apart from pockets missing in the corner. Conveniently not mentioning the back of the gallowgate i see. You are buzzing that it was nearly full, cretin.

The lack of fight amongst our fans to stand up for the club is just about as depressing as Mike Ashley owning it. I feel like these people are supporting a different club to me, why are we so weak as a fanbase man, whole thing f***ing sucks.

That’s just a lazy comment. Bruce can be criticised of a lot of things but he knows what is good or bad defending. Stop hoping the worst of the players; we’ve some decent ones, if they don’t improve as a team then Bruce will get everything he deserves. Nah your alright. I'm genuinley curious as to why you think it will improve from here.

I think Ashley will be bothered about empty seats, it doesn't matter if the tv sees them or not.

What makes you think we will improve? Steve Bruce?

Seems to me that you are on a bit of a rant and rave right now. He's not wrong though, QM. Bruce could have a cup of tea and there'd be 7 pages of vitriol saying he should have had a coffee. It's just way over the top. No, he deserves every bit of s*** he gets, he wasn't forced to take the job, and s*** on his former club in the process. The bloke is a tit aswell as a s*** manager, f*** him. Thought you didn't care? Doesn't care but has posted 20 times in the match thread Guys, pushing this argument just makes you look stupid. Obviously nobody has literally no feelings about Newcastle. Some of us have just had to switch off because we can’t take the infinite futility and pain of talking about Newcastle like it’s still a normal football club . Use your heads a bit. No it doesn't. Several posters have said repeatedly, that they are done with the club, but they post consistently in the match thread, and some are celebrating when we get beat. Hypocrite central. It's so clearly manufactured in those guys who come on writing stuff like "glad we lost, howay Norwich next week" etc. Cringey stuff. Cringey as f***. And meanwhile what are you getting out of Ashley-era ‘Newcastle United’?? Enjoying it? I'm not wishing my team loses on a f***ing messageboard that's for sure.

3. Been all chelsea

Apparently not caring means you can't comment. Anyway i guess i do care, i want them to get beat.

If he doesn't get a win next week or against Watford, it's already game over imo, they won't be out of the bottom 3 all season.

The funny thing is he will be desperate to be sacked as the season goes on but it won't happen. Then it will be "we've got to prepare for the championship and bounce straight back up" with about 5 PL games still to play.

How can something be predictable when it doesn't precede anything though? After 18 games if the same mistakes that cost us today are happening, then yes, predictable, but after the first game? I'm not sure that makes much sense. Fwiw there was some promising signs in the first half today in our play and a few players in particular caught the eye. I'll choose to not plummet into abject misery just yet. You're far too sensible. You're completely wasting your time though. They've been waiting all summer for something to go crazy over. Even though they all claim not to care anymore. You can be such an idiot at times. This is the most relaxed a fair few of us probably have been about a season. I just find it quite bizarre that some people treat this as some sort of clean slate every season with the "let's just see what happens" mentality. Ashley has steered this club from one catastrophe to the next. Losing Benitez was one such catastrophe, and he just compounded it tenfold by appointing Bruce. Their records speak for themselves. 100% agree , i guess the "let's just see what happens" stuff is all some people can do, it's the reality of continuation i suppose. For me it's because I'm obviously going to keep supporting Newcastle United and be emotionally invested in it, just as everyone posting in this thread today is one way or another, whether they like it or not. And whilst I'd be far happier with Rafa still here, I'm willing to try and call what I see on the screen as it is and not look at everything purely comparatively through a pre-determined negative lens, as I think it skews what is actually there and is therefore not smart. I'm sure we'll all be back next week, looking on with at least some level of excitement and interest at what the players can produce.

Yet you are calling people idiots.

Meltdown alert.

Ashley arse licking little angry cunt.

Dubravka looked a bit shit and pissed off as predicted, he doesn't want to be here anymore.

Not really, how the f*** can you be so open at the back there at 0-0, that's tactics, or lack of.

Stop digging, kaka.

imagine being this much of a hypocrite oof, nice work.

The only good thing about not caring is not being gutted after a defeat.

Dat opening game tactical masterclass.
