All JK Rowling said that a trans woman shouldn’t be able to use female toilets, etc and just generally that they can’t simply claim to be women having no female organs for a menstrual cycle, possibly falling pregnant. Totally agree with her - it’s one thing to be a trans woman but to actually say you’re female when you’re not…..that was the just of what she’d been talking about. someone who took a disliking to her then reported her to the club. 

 

 

 

Increasingly find our fanbase depressing. Well done to whoever reported the bigot at least.

Palmer has one of those painful looking Adam’s apples.

Playing devils advocate how have they been the ones propping the club up for years? The ones refusing to fall in line with ID checks mustn’t have had STs and amassed any of their own away points hence depending on others so all their money a part from £1 per booking has been propping up the opposition clubs surely at £30 per game?
 

If they did have STs and propping up the club they could’ve attended Gateshead & Rangers and those 2 loyalty points would’ve been enough to get tickets for first few aways this season alone.

Agreed. It’s such a nonsensical position that people are just taking as read. And, honestly, how many people that fucked off home games genuinely kept travelling away? The number would be in single figures.  
 

What’s happened is that Newcastle got really good and people who previously had given up any interest in going suddenly rediscovered an interest. Which is fine. Ashley etc. But now these people are telling us about how unfair the whole process is, which seems slightly less fine. And let’s not forget, the basis for their falling back in love with the club is the fact that it is now ran by the Saudi state. It is hard to have all that much sympathy.

If by every thread you mean two threads, then yes. 

 

I've attributed a lot of our form this season to injuries and have been laughed at because we've spent big in recent windows (despite those players all being injured). To see so many of you using injuries as an excuse for getting comprehesively beaten by Bournemouth, it's properly grinded my gears. You're not plucky Newcastle anymore. You've spent over £400m under your new owners and finished fourth last year. So by your own rationale when criticising Manchester United, you don't have an excuse for the loss yesterday. Your front three of Joelinton, Gordon and Almiron cost the same as Bournemouth's entire starting 11.

 

Trippier going over and arguing with your own fans as well and using injuries as an excuse. Be completely honest with yourself when answering this question; if we just lost to Bournemouth and it was Bruno Fernandes doing that, what would the response be on here? "What a shit excuse for a captain." "Arguing with his own fans man " "Manchester United is a circus." You know fine rightly not one person would be praising him for his "courage" and "passion".

 

Will of course receive a ton of flak for this post, but it rings true. You don't get to have one rule for your rivals and another for yourselves. If injuries can affect you they can affect other teams as well.

I think the key difference is that this is a Newcastle United forum populated by people with a deep understanding of Newcastle United. I’m not really sure why you’re expecting anything else. I understand you’re well thought of on here, and rightly so- and the post above is excellent- but you appear to be expecting an impartial and balanced approach to Man Utd on a forum dedicated to one of their rivals, which is just entitled frankly.

Hello. 

Fucking hell, mate, are you doing this on every thread?

Think Ronaldo’s post just highlights the contortions that people are forced to pull in order to hold the dual position that our fans who were still attending during the worst of the Ashley years are also fickle glory hunters.

In a lot of games. We've had 6 or 7 bad ones go against us this season. 

Does need to be looked at, big clubs seem to get way more from VAR going in their favour 

Is one of the issues not that because we don’t expect to just get twatted now in huge games, nerves and people, you know, watching the match are distracting a bit from the singing?

i guess a long drawn out EL run and  matches every Thursday would not help us much to fight for top4-top5 in PL while some rivals have none of those games like Spurs, United, Chelsea.

also can give us multiple injuries and less time to relax. dont forget not having much of a fixture nightmare last season helped us a lot to finish 4th.

 

on the other side a great EL would be fun, dont underestimate teams there, they often fight for their life, and Thursday-Sunday tempo is quite hard when you play late on Thursday then a big game on Sunday.

but we could be favourites in most of those games unlike vs quality CL opponents in group of death.

 

also EL trophy guarantees CL qualification albeit that is far from easy to clinch.

 

I think teams that drop down from CL do have one extra round of EL games, like Barca failing in group stage last year had to play United while teams like Arsenal had a free round in EL and did not play only from next round.

 

The way I see it City, Arsenal, Pool are more certain to get top3 places.

Us and United, Chelsea, Spurs will fight it out for 4-5th places. 2 of these clubs will not be in CL.

(5th only worth CL is English clubs do well this season on coefficient country list, top2 we England need to hit I think, usually thats doable eg if City goes very far in CL and Pool goes very far in EL  while the rest also do decent...)

 

I cannot see us getting much in Paris, we beat them fairly at home, but that looks like a one off, as the 3 three performances were not great. Albeit where I think we mostly played as an underdog was the Milan away one but got a good result.

Can see Milan getting something vs Dortmund, so chances are we either need to beat Milan at home for 3rd or dont lose to them.

having said that I hope before the game our lawyers grill them over the Tonali mess haha.

You write well and I enjoy your posts but why do you always refer to Man Utd as ‘United’? It’s seriously annoying 

As immense and heroic as Spurs were, per the media I’m sure, it’s worth noting that they’re not the first team to play with nine men at that stadium this season. And they were certainly as nowhere near as getting something from the game.

VAR causing confusion again and tbh I’m not entirely sure what goes on in the officials’ minds half the time, but it’s certainly causing some drama and talking points. We all love it deep down. 

Nope

Correct.

But would they have went back to check the tackle?

So hang on. They check the Chelsea goal before the penalty. So if it’s a legitimate goal…then what?

Totally football podcast: 

‘Does anybody want to say anything nice about Newcastle?’

’No’

Also, Carl Anka compares us to using public transport, like he would fucking know about that.

Might seem silly but I won’t be disappointed if we lose this and the next one vs PSG, the home game vs Milan will be the a good opportunity to win which if I’m correct will give us a shot at  europa league if Milan also lose their remaining games?

 

 

 

Yep, none of that seems disappointing at all

Fulwell End chant I’m guessing.

Yep. Just stop it. 

Great stuff last night minus that homophobic Sunderland chant and some stupid cunts in the concourse pointing to a black steward and singing Ameobi songs. Let’s be a bit better than that, eh lads?

Great night at the Elmfield in Hebburn last night thanks to South Tyneside Toon Travel and Sir Les! 

Any canny stories from Les, Paully?

The controversy seems to boil down to VAR checked multiple things so they  should have found a reason to disallow it. Which isn't what football should be about at all. There was no obvious error. Most Arsenal fans don't even seem to know why they think it shouldn't count 

 

 

Arteta was asked directly by a journalist with a Geordie accent which of the three things was he claiming it should have been disallowed for and he just waved his arms about. Quite good and tenacious questioning actually, wonder if it was one of our heroes 

The thing is, watching the goal, both in the ground and there in real time on the highlights, not one element of it looks especially controversial. Wish VAR would just fuck off

Howay, I’ve owned this cunt here

Just ignore him. 

Like Man Utd, their forum is probably gutted about this and we will be viewed as favourites. Weird as it is, at some point we probably need to realise that we are Quite Good.

What about Murrayfield? Not ideal obviously, but a nippy and funny train trip there and back, and no issues with people being locked out. Would also prefer to ignore Sunderland as the non-entities they are
