Nice subtle dig, 'Man Utd tried to slow it down'

Thought the game was quite good today

Villa away suddenly looks like an absolute bitch of a fixture.

They weren't ripping through their lauded songbook and putting our support to shame?

I wouldn’t say it’s worse if it leads to some form of meaningful action- however small or falsely motivated

Man Utd fans were completely silent at SJP last year and our crowd was excellent. This love in with Man Utd's away support is such a weird offshoot of their lavish success in the 90s. When have they ever demonstrated defiance in the face of their more recent set of circumstances? They fucked off like Sunderland fans during their hammerings at both City and Liverpool. When did you last see a half empty away end of ours way before full time?

Re. The last paragraph. What was the the general gist of the ‘woe-is-me’ article?

Nah, don’t think so. Some lad who supports Everton. I generally enjoy the Athletic’s content but it does get tiring hearing that exact same voice exude that exact same above it all attitude

It’s nice that the new journalist covering Newcastle on the Caulkin podcast is a privately educated posh lad with zero ties to the club or the area. This is how we know we have arrived.

At games their fans absolutely come across as arrogant. I remember thinking in 2011 (they beat us 3-1) that they had turned into their cunty neighbours, whose arrogance they had always claimed to loathe, within a few years of having cash. Must be a Manchester thing.

Get in! Now everybody that gave up at 0-0, and then again at 1-1, go to the atmosphere thread and tell us how much better the support would be if only you were in the ground

I’ve heard about that game since I pretty much started supporting Newcastle and I never ever realised the original result was overturned. What would the reasoning for that even be?

Right. But that’s not really my point. I don’t understand the supposed correlation between those people and the people who are fickle and liable to chuck in their ticket at the first sign of trouble. I think the uncomfortable truth for many (on both sides of the debate) is that it is actually the exact opposite.

Never get this, and I’ve read it countless times on here. The same lazy, feckless cunts that stuck in during Ashley are all the entitled fly by nighters incapable of handling a bad run of results? You can be mad at whoever you like, but it’s one or the other

Have to agree with their fans on that, mind. The season ticket is fine as a small card, and causes no problem for anybody. This might be an issue for a small amount of people- but it would be older people, and it would be a genuine issue. Maybe let people pay a couple of quid for a physical card?

But that’s whataboutery, and they hate that

Changed his mind on Celtic didn’t he?

Yeah- thought we had done all this?

Not sure if moving the away fans would be a popular idea or not, but I would definitely be in favour of it.

I think the atmosphere in the home game against Man Utd last December then City in August were two of the best I have ever experienced. Villa was really good this season too. Not sure where this idea it’s crap now is coming from.

No.

Careful. When you go on like this it makes him want to be a cunt

Oh no. They took the piss and we did fuck all.

Good post. However, I’m confused about who these ‘new fans’ would even be. Minus one thousand people, every single season ticket holder had their ticket when Ashley was around.
