JH Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 It's amazing. Ashley could round up thousands of Geordies, feed them a handful of old rice a day, and toss them into the Killing Fields. The bedsheet brigade would appear for a game or two before everything dies down into a state of resignation. This is why there were only three slave revolts in the history of Rome. What are your proposals then? Not to support the team, obviously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 City didn't look like title contenders. There's no way we'd have been able to dominate Chelsea or Man U, in the way that we did for long stretches of the game today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit strange; I think they're title contenders as in they'll not be far off in the end however I simply can't see them winning it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Was just saying this to the lads in the pub after the game. Our capacity to tolerate abuse is a millionfold greater than our willingness to do something about it. I'd agree with that in general. I just thought comparing NUFC to imperial Rome was a tad too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Green Balls Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I've laid out a few. Sadly, some of them had nothing to do with the club...and so one could argue that they were morally suspect. At least show solidarity in your displeasure of how everyone was treated for a sustained period of time. Make him feel uncomfortable even showing his Hutt-ass at the games. On the television, at 0-2 down, that fat prick had such a complacent look on his face. He must be thinking that he got away with murder. If he is going to treat us all like assholes, at least make him earn his keep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny Green Balls Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 because I believe that Ashley is clearly of the same magnitude of Pol Pot, or the patrician class of late Roman Republic Considering the hyperbolic reactions of a fair few on this board about everything ranging from Nolan to Krul, you would think that I was speaking in their language.

Guest toonlass Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Singing "get out of our club" while wearing this season's replica shirt, supping a few pints before the match and at half time, while carrying club shop or sports direct carrier bags filled with tat and then having a few bevvies in Shearers after the game while moaning about Ashley is really showing the fat one how much he is hated! He is laughing all the way to the bank! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying starve the club, but why bother singing "get out of our club" if you're supporting the man with your money? I refuse to sing it, it's petty. I'm not suggesting in any way that Ashley is any good but it sounds as shite as the "your support is fucking shit" chants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Tevez's third goal went in, the fans jumped into a chorus of it - aye that's going to help the players on the pitch isn't it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
