newsted Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 You know my friends, there comes a time when people get tired of being trampled by the iron feet of oppression. There comes a time my friends, when people get tired of being plunged across the abyss of humiliation, where they experience the bleakness of nagging despair. There comes a time when people get tired of being pushed out of the glittering sunlight of life's July and left standing amid the piercing chill of an alpine November. There comes a time. You, sir, need to open another account under the name of Sir Richard Dinnis and make this the rallying cry for the masses of Magdom so that we can breach the stubborn defences of the crypto-Ashleyites and put paid to their pseudo-mackemist tendencies, for we are the classier race!

Unbelievable Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 lovely now if they could actually discuss the issues at the club and not just how offended they are at being banned that would be great until then You're cutting your nose to spite your face if you want to make this something about the media being corrupt and looking after their own self interest first and foremost. That's nothing intelligent people already know. What's interesting about this latest development is that by banning them, Ashley has effectively pointed the barrel of the PR gun towards himself. Now, we can sit here and laugh at the media, or we use them for our own purpose, whilst they look after their own, in a 'enemy of your enemy is your friend' kind of way. I know which approach I'd prefer. while I'm far more cynical and have very little faith in the likes of Lee Ryder to achieve anything significant. I fully expect them to be allowed back in a few weeks and back to normal. In a few weeks time this club could be on the brink of a massive transformation if we play our cards right. It seems to me by your reactions you're almost hoping the local rags wind their neck in and everything returns to "normal" so you can say I told you so.

Thespence Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 and all the coverage I've seen in the media since the ban yesterday (nationals as well) has been a load of bollocks about freedom of press and how it would hurt nufc blah blah blah instead of far more important issues going on at the club like the SD ads Kinnears continued employment failure to sign anyone permanently in the summer etc its all just been how offended they are at media being banned. If you wanted to read about JFK a transfers have a look at Ryder: http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-uniteds-excruciating-transfer-deadline-5830980 Douglas: http://www.thejournal.co.uk/sport/sport-opinion/agenda-just-what-joe-kinnear-5263788 Today cover is not the first negative cover in recent times the blank page cover a was a classic newspaper cover http://www.holdthefrontpage.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Chronicle-FP-Kinnear.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Well, looks like the lines have been drawn in the sand. Ashley is such a fool and going off his past form, things could get much worse before anything gets better. If it goes full on, could get poisonous, may lead to, may need to, another relegation. but in for a penny....... i think i am now at the point when i would prefer to see us in league 1 and i am supporting MY club going out and giving 100% and striving to be the best it can be rather than what we have now with ASHLEY's club just plodding along making up the numbers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Don't even need to block people going in. Just send one person in - ask for an item of clothing kept ridiculously high up and stand back as the employees all gather to gaze in utter confusion at how to get it down as they can't locate the pole.
