Kanj Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I stayed away until I got home. First time I can remember that I actually fast fwd the match after Taylor was sent off. Sick of this shit we are served up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 The "Cockney Bastard" song came out again tonight. Best the utter weaklings can do either side of singing about Shola and Pardew. Cretins. Ron, man. Really think this fan rage is somewhat misplaced. I was looking at the screen tonight thinking "daft cunts" at those that paid money to go and watch that in the flesh, then I took a look in the mirror at someone who was sitting at home like a mug doing exactly the same. Only difference is Sky got my money instead of NUFC, which is just as bad if not worse. I don't think it is at all. The fans are refusing to fight for the club in supporting this nonsense. I can see where you're coming from but I think it's pity more than anger that I feel towards them. However, I've been where they are so I can appreciate why they still turn up. There are times when it's all you have, and for some people it's all they'll ever have, they live for it. I can't be mad with people for supporting the team, which is what most of them are doing at the end of the day. Fair point. I just wish people would see the big picture. Surely virtually nobody enjoys the rubbish we serve up at SJP and on the road these days. I have to say despite it all, tonight was the first time I can ever remember sacking it off before the final whistle. The first and last time I can remember before this was when we found ourselves 3-1 down at home to Leicester in 1997... I sat there like a dumpling in SJP feeling some sense of duty when the Mackems were running us ragged last season, but tonight at 3-0 just felt like my tipping point. Suppose everyone has their limit. Watched very little of the tail end of last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLK Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Why aren't the British billionaire as ambitious as their Russian or Arab counterparts ?

pedro111 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I can't help feeling that what we have seen this summer or rather what we haven't seen is proof that we are moving toward the end of Ashleys time here. Surely it has to be, no one in their right mind would have allowed Pardew to continue this season and then completely undermine his authority by employing what is effectively a babysitter to watch over him AND then give him no new signings other than the bare bare minimum to keep things ticking over no one that is apart from someone who is more than willing to sell up rather soon.

What is looks like is the lunatics have taken over the asylum and that Llambias was in fact a moderating influence on Ashley, more prepared to make investment seemed to have learned the lesson from last summer, but nope JFK in instead and god knows who's actually running the club on the business side or trying to do the technical talks about transfers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree - if Ashley is put into a position where he runs the risk of having to put money into the club because attendances were poor and nobody was buying merchandise, he would be out like a shot. In any case, his lack of investment in players will eventually lead to relegation and that will kill off his Sky golden goose. Last night's result is the first step along the way to possibly being relegated. Also don't agree that nobody wants to buy the club - they do, but they know what Ashley is like and they will wait until he is in a position where he cannot mess them about or hold them to ransom...Ashley isn't the only billionaire who thinks he is street-wise....as with everything else, there is always someone smarter/richer and they will come along eventually but it may take a while.

DJ_NUFC Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Since we've not seen any money spent in JFK's time here, and we showed a lot more ambition when Llambezy was around, I'll have to concur with some of the views posted above in regards to this.

merlin Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 f***ing hate this bloke so much, what makes us so unattractive to potential buyers?? Serious question.. When you have an owner that 'puts the club up for sale' and then fails to keep an appointment with Mansour in Dubai, you have the answer...people know Ashley messes them about so they will wait until he gives himself enough rope....

henke Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 What's the point if you can't enjoy it anymore? We've all gone to games in the past when you know before you leave home you've no chance, away games at old trafford and anfield etc. But you went because the club was doing it's best, and you were there to support them. Under Mike Ashley the club isn't doing it's best, it has no intention of competing. He'll invest the absolute minimum to protect his investment. Players like Cabaye will leave and only when we're in trouble will they be replaced by younger and cheaper. We stay up, just, but he makes his money back slowly. And you do it all again next year. I want fuck all to do with it anymore to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
