If precedent is anything to go by, somebody who isn't a useless t***. Shearer and Rafa have been his last two Hail Mary efforts. Depends when the sacking comes down. The three times it was early / mid season we were lumped with Kinnear, Pardew and Carver None of those managers were brought in to save us. Steve's replacement, be it early, mid or late season, will be given the task of keeping the Donnay signs on the telly. I can see Mike shitting the bed again and bringing in someone competent.

Dummet is s***, but not to blame for the goal. It was the new bloke's fault all day. Both were to blame the pass was shocking and Willems wasn’t switched on to stop the s*** pass being intercepted. You can pause the pass half way on its journey and it still looks comfortable. I've no idea what Willems was doing. And again, I say this as someone who thinks Paul Dummet is a pervert.

He was in the studio when we beat Man U 5-0. Had a face like a smacked arse.

Tell me how? First half we played fairly well...plenty of good spells with no end product. Second half we struggled to get out of our own half, but still managed one or two half chances. There was many a game under Rafa where we barely had an attempt, and you know there was. Stop trying to rewrite history. Some of those games were frustrating as f***, just like today. Our shape was noticeably worse second half. At the worst of times under Rafa, you knew what the formation was and you knew the players were well drilled. Today was an absolute shitshow and it will get worse. We rarely got pumped under Rafa. Steve will have our arse cheeks splayed wider than a Barry Venison jacket.

Mike Ashley's f***ed emptiness? Nah. If you tolerate this then your children will want Ritchie on the back of their shirt.

Excellent point.

Life is too short, which is why a season long boycott appeals to me more than 30 more years of Ashley. The Manics had a song about it.

Andy Carroll. He's big, he's lush, he never trims his bush.

@KieranHarm, You're a cunt.

This might be worth doing providing it's discussion free This. Make it so we can't clog it up with Brucey-talk. Just assign someone sensible like Stiffler to keep updating it.

Yes, they will sack him. There'll be terms in his contract that Alan Pardew wouldn't sign up to. I doubt they'll want to repeat the cycle of employing someone too competent though. Come to think of it, Steve's Janary replacement will most likely be Alan Pardew, who'll be able to leverage the clubs league position to his favour, demanding a top 19 salary.

All the old school saw through Ashley and stopped going. Those were the lads and lasses who would shout, scream, sing and just generally go barmy getting the atmosphere going. The people who cared the most, who really supported the club f***ed off and we're left with the 'day out away from the missus' crowd. Spot on, every word of that is true. I went along to support the small group outside the ground today and it was humiliating by the end of it to be honest- depressing, in fact. We got more applause and kudos from the Arsenal fans than our own; that just says it all. Had fans giving the 'w*****' sign, calling people 'c***s' (from fully grown men wearing the new away shirt- staggering). I simply couldn't believe how many people were going into SJP, it's incredible how easy it is for them. But sadly today was merely a reflection of modern society. Most people walked past not caring, many others stood there and filmed on their phones. Then you have a stadium sat in silence for 90 minutes. People just want an easy life these days. Any feeling of guardianship or protection over NUFC from the fans is dead. People want to be able to have a pint, go to the match, leave early and get home before it's a late one. It feels like the Newcastle United I grew up loving, and the support I grew up so proud of, is now completely unrecognisable. I will be sick if we are not relegated- that will be justice for all still involved. That's painful to hear. Match-goers are as a thick as a castle wall.

:lol: Cabbage-headed tosser.

This season's going to be an absolute fucking hoot.

But all the lads love Steve and it's a right laugh in the dressing room now. Right Matt?

Pardewesque. We had the shape of a kids team after one of the dads has given his 30 second team talk. As others have said, I thought it might have taken a bit time for Rafa's tight drilling to wear off but it looks like Steve's wiped the slate clean. Joelinton and St. Max looked shite. Definitely worse footballers than Ayoze and Rondon. You've played a blinder, Mike.

How are they Tories? Back when it existed in paper form, I remember them being the self-styled coolest 39 year old men in the world. Every heading and subheading was a Jam or Joy Division song, and they used to review shoes. Knackers for sure, but Tories?

Lock the gate behind you and we should be alright.

Yep. Rangers mobilised themselves as soon as they got wind of Ashley. Liverpool organised a walk out just a season ago. Boca Juniors would've set your house on fire for buying a season ticket.

And if we get relegated we could get stuck in the championship or even worse... I know you're going to come out with the 'I'd rather be in the championship or league 1 if it got rid off Ashley' But if you won't go to games in the premier league, got a feeling you'll be boycotting in league 1 too regardless off ownership. imagine being this thick Imagine sitting in your Bet88 shirt, droning out another tepid rendition "Get out of our club" whilst watching Steve waddle about where Rafa used to stand. Our supporters are abysmal.

It’s f*** all to do with the wives in truth it’s f***ing habit, it’s just what you do Honestly i5 boils my p*ss they can’t even do it for one f***ing match the c***s, cretins, w*****s. That last line does not deserve a smiley face. You're 100% right.

The "drop in the ocean" claim is utter bollocks. As if the club would just roll on as normal with an empty stadium. ffs A permanent boycott would mean relegation, chaos and negative PR all round. It would hammer the value of the club and start a slide that Mike wouldn't be able to stop.

The "support the team" types are the same people who'd buy Gazza a pint.
