Howay, bump..

 

Stumbled on a video of Joey talking about Newcastle from years back...

 

It's probably been posted in pages past, but the words he says about the club 10 years ago, are still the inner-workings of the club now...

 

 

"Mike Ashley is the Ayatollah, nothing happens without his say so..."

 

"every Premier League club since 1992, had these arrangements in place (player performance bonus contracts), they decided that we we're paid workforce, which they probably have an argument; and for Sports Direct, we should do what the subordinates do at Sports Direct do...."

 

(2020 example: Furloughing, despite being a Premier League club)

This might be the thing that stops his weird hero status here. He’s a horrible man. 

And a horrible footballer too.

He's done a very good job of reinventing his time here, where he was mostly unavailable. Loves taking credit for us getting promoted.

He is occasionally a likeable character when he talks, but if you list the cuntish to absolutely terrible things he's done, the guy is an absolute piece of shit. He will never change.

I think there's a fairly intelligent and decent bloke in there somewhere but he's never been in control of his demons, that's not me making excuses for him as we all have a choice. Blokes had more chances than most get with his track record.

He’s about as intelligent as a dead ant, a horrible excuse of a human being never mind a footballer, but bantz and all that and he cared whey you know… fuck off, he was one of the worst signings we’ve ever made, a terrible ‘player’!

I do think he’s somewhat intelligent. Certainly more articulate than your average footballer. Though he definitely, it’s definitely a bit of an image he likes to play up to, mostly to distract everyone from the fact he’s a complete cunt.

Not sure why people call him intelligent. He expresses opinions, nothing more. 

Pretends to read Orwell maybe. Probably is more articulate than a lot of English players though, but that says more about them. 
 

He’s still a horrendous human being and the obsession some fans have with him is bizarre. He wasn’t good that often and spent a lot of his time here in jail.
