The Ashley Out campaign is still the best.

 

I wonder if we'll ever find out who those founding heroes were.

Sad to see sackpardew.com has become some weird foreign football blog now.

My most enduring memory of Sourface was the ‘paper aeroplane game’, can’t remember who it was against but it summed him up.

 

These absolutely horrid Souey quotes always stick with me:

 

"I've always been a 4-4-2 man but I'm not big on systems or tactics. Systems are for school-teachers in professional football. What I am big on is great players working their socks off. The game happens at such pace that it's all about intuition; if you have that you do not need much more."

So depressing where the club could have been had they just not appointed this cretin as manager.

His inability to understand that intuition / muscle memory comes from incredibly detailed systems work and training plans is baffling. Does he just think that every person will intuitively play together well if they just work hard?

In those days.. I don't think it did.

 

When you hear players talk about Mourinho (I think it was him or AVB or Wenger that comment was a sly dig at) - he didn't spend ages on tactics and systems.

Just like the sack pardew campaign 

 

Imagine staying at a club for more than a year (?) while pretty much the entire fansbase want you gone. We semi wanted us to lose games just incase that increased the odds of him getting the sack.

Semi wanted? I was raging when Cisse scored that late winner against Palace.

I thought this was Pardew on Yanga-Mbiwa?

 

Taylor on Yanga-Mbiwa, unless my memory's failing me.

I think you're thinking of Taylor's racist banter tweet.

This was the worst social media post I’ve seen from a player or club employee at NUFC in the history of social media

He was like a caricature of a human being. Hard to believe someone could act like he did, especially someone so successful

It's because everyone knew an annoying try hard like Steven Taylor at some point in their life so he was instantly dislikable no matter what he did.

Such a weird time like. Just getting so sick of being shit and the club being fine with it that our minds just decided to enjoy it in the hope it would accelerate the process. Easily the low point of supporting Newcastle for me.

I actually stopped following during the Cabbage Head era so I guess that was the low point. From Benitez to Cabbage Head. Dear me.

Always mean to find one of those hate watch match threads and skim it for lols. Was so surreal despising the absolute piss out of the club.

 

We'd fluke a goal and it'd be pages of "FFS"

And "Get ins" when the opposition scored.

The one I always remember is a 4-1 drubbing by Arsenal.

 

Seem to remember Giroud scoring after 10 minutes and someone posting "FINALLY!" or something.
