Dave Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Dunno if the Telegraph's retort was posted. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/newcastle-united/10030947/Newcastle-United-bans-Telegraph-from-attending-matches-following-dressing-room-split-revelations.html Telegraph Sport's north-east football reporter Luke Edwards disclosed on Tuesday that the club's struggle for Premier League survival has been undermined by acrimony between different sets of players at the club. One group believes that another, mainly French, group of players have not been committed enough to Newcastle in recent weeks, spending too much time complaining about manager Alan Pardew and pursuing their own personal agendas. They also believe one player has allowed his fitness levels to decline dramatically and that several players did not understand the importance of keeping Newcastle in the Premier League. The story was written on the basis of verbal and written accounts of the split provided by several sources, including individuals employed by the club. But Newcastle have reacted by sending the Telegraph a solicitor's letter demanding the story be withdrawn from our website and a public apology be issued. The letter, from London-based solicitors Russell-Cooke, said: "Having carefully considered the content of the article Newcastle United have asked for it to be made clear that unless a full apology is received from the Daily Telegraph and the article is immediately withdrawn from the Telegraph online edition, then both Luke Edwards and any representative of the Daily Telegraph/Sunday Telegraph will be banned from attending St James' Park and from attending any Newcastle United pre-match press conferences and all Newcastle United player interviews at the training facilities with immediate effect." We regret the club's decision to ban the Telegraph from attending matches and press conferences, but will not allow it to prevent us providing the most incisive, trustworthy Newcastle coverage, rather than pandering to what the club want you to read. Pretty obvious that they're implying it came from one of our English players, and talking about Ben Arfa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bert Shaft Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (Dunno if this is posted somewhere else but) What the f*ck is this sh*te all about. No wonder fans from other clubs think Newcastle fans are f***ing idiots Newcastle’s famous ground is the third largest stadium in the UK. (comment to the silly c*nt who wrote this piffle) err, no its not you f*ckin biff. 18. Every fans’ second team Manchester United may dominate the global fanbase, but Newcastle have their fair share of Toon supporters with an allegiance to Newcastle. Fans on foreign soil as well as supporters across the country all secretly hope for a Newcastle win when they tune in to the Saturday highlights. I'm sure everyone in the country who is not a redbindipper was REALLY upset when we lost 6-0. Hollywood A-listers and stars of the small screen are all known to have chanted the famous Blaydon Races theme tune. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/united-stand-20-reasons-back-3311314 Cringeworthy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 There comes a time when the news should be reported, and there comes a time when you back the fucking team and call for heads when the time is right. Whether these articles are true or not, its not really in the best interest of anybody to have these stories floating about when both clubs in the NE are battling relegation, irrespective of who people support. I obviously know the paper and tabloid stuff is built on sensationalist stories, etc. Just my 2 cents that's all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
