Bizarrely the lad enjoyed his first game. Think the big stadium, club shop and hot dog masked the crushing loss. Even wants to go back.....he'll learn

 

Sorry to say, but you're the perfect fan for Mike Ashley's Newcastle.

 

Not a parent as yet Michael?

 

Nope, sorry it came out wrong.

 

I understand what your on about though taking kid for match for first time etc.  I'm just saying this is the type of fan he wants in the ground though, not the usual loyal supporters.

Annoyed to admit it but if I don't take the boy to a few games shortly he'll either choose a different team to support or won't follow football at all. I've got no choice but to take him next season or I'll lose him to cricket or something like that.

 

He spent the entire second half today playing as Newcastle on Fifa 14 and loved it. Poor little fucker was oblivious as Man U went to town on us, he's got the bug but I need to feed it despite my feelings towards the cunts running the club and the team atm.

I see where Neesy's coming from tbh, but SteveMc's situation is understandable.  Caught between a rock and a hard place.

 

Just make sure your lad's fed and don't buy bait yourself.

 

I was trying to reference what was being discussed here:

Obviously got it horribly wrong as usual.

What kind of a sad sorry excuse is this?  Lose him to another team you say? Another sport? Never?  You'd be doing the boy a favour by not taking him, at the same time you'd be doing yourself a favour.  Why do you want to find an excuse to line the pocket of the fat controller?  This disgusting regime in charge don't deserve a penny from out of us. Any of us.

I like to take the long term view.

 

You might be condemning him to a lifetime of Lee Ryder, but while it might be too late for the rest of us, surely to goodness the young lad will see us win something decent, somewhere down the line.

 

Maybe. :lol:

Fortunately there's still a shitload of things to be proud of that will capture the heart of a young'un, namely the beautiful stadium (which the cunt has done his best to undermine as well).

I wonder if the next generation of fans will see us lift a trophy.  I've already written off me seeing us do it.

On Grand National day, Newcastle were simply never at the races, as a weakened away side won at a canter - without even breaking stride.

 

Conceding eleven goals in three games without netting once themselves, a sixth defeat in eight home games has tested the patience of the most stalwart Toon follower. The result? a club safe in mid-table, but in free fall.

 

Three changes to the starting XI that was humiliated at Southampton last week made not one iota of difference to the overall performance, as the Magpies shipped yet more goals and never really looked like finding the net.

 

With Hatem Ben Arfa relegated back to the bench, Alan Pardew drafted in Dan Gosling to the midfield for a first senior start since returning from his loan at Blackpool.

 

Davide Santon continued in the right back role that he acquired mid-match at St.Mary's, while another attempt was made at pairing Luuk De Jong with Papiss Cisse.

 

The highlight of a drab opening half hour was a 22nd minute centre from Santon that Cisse headed firmly towards goal - only for Anders Lindegaard to parry.

 

However a clumsy challenge by Gosling on Darren Fletcher led to the visitors going ahead six minutes before the break, Juan Mata arrowing home a free kick as Rob Elliot scrambled along his line in the Gallowgate End goal.

 

Given our ongoing failure to recover from going behind, that opener meant that the game was as good as over and Javier Hernandez shot against the post as the Red Devils sought to extend their advantage.

 

And within five minutes of the second half David Moyes had seen his side wrap up their tenth away league win, when further comical defending from Fabricio Coloccini allowed Mata to provide a precise finish for his second.

 

Fully ten minutes later came the arrival of Ben Arfa, replacing the pathetic De Jong to what was just about the loudest reaction from home fans in the entire game. 

 

A third Manchester United goal just after the hour mark then saw SJP begin to empty, Hernandez having the easiest of tasks after Januzaj and Kagawa combined.

 

At the other end, occasional forward raids resulted in Cisse missing two further opportunities to end a club goal famine that now extends to just two strikes in eight home games, Lindegaard denying him on both occasions.

 

Opting to replace Yoan Gouffran late on, Pardew then inexplicably preferred Shola Ameobi to rookie Adam Armstrong.

 

With the game lost, seeing the youngster making his home debut would have been a rare uplifting moment on an otherwise awful day. Instead though the carthorse clad in the number 23 shirt lolloped on amid booing.

 

Adnan Januzaj then deepened the misery with another in added time via Mata's back-heel, control and movement from them coupled with shabby defending from ourselves.

 

Aside from the fleeting moments when Cisse had the ball in front of goal, we looked as disinterested as last week, heads dropping and confidence visibly draining away.

 

Content in the knowledge that if they turn up on time with their boots they will play, the senior players on view once again went through the motions and delivered a two fingered salute to their fans. The promised response to last week's debacle appears to have gone the same way as the pledge to right wrongs after the Everton cuffing. 

 

Aside from a boisterous away following, the atmosphere in a sold-out stadium bordered on the funereal with home fans attending only from a sense of duty and loyalty. In times past this game had the hairs on the back of one's neck standing up, but not today. Where is our famous atmosphere? gone, beaten into submission like the fans.

 

The absence of apparently key figures from the visiting lineup and their upcoming Champions League D-Day should surely have given rise to a feeling that they were there to be beaten, but that never translated itself into any meaningful pressure from a tepid Newcastle side.

 

Never mind that our opponents are away day specialists though, such was the poorness of our display that it's hard to believe that any visiting team would have lost here today - such is our downturn that the recent wins scraped over Villa and Palace here in all likelihood just wouldn't have been achieved.

 

With no anticipation of positive or enjoyable play and no expectation of anything other than the dross that was served up again today, the absence of Loic Remy has removed the last hint of excitement or optimism.

 

What remains isn't worth watching, doesn't merit support and looks now to be in clear defiance of their manager. It doesn't bear thinking about what damage would be done today had the visitors been at full strength, with messrs Rooney, van Persie and Welbeck all absent on Tyneside.

 

The comfort of checking the league table though is surely only fleeting, with our worst run of form since relegation already casting a shadow across next season.

 

Putting it bluntly, we're now in so much sh*t here and unraveling at such a rate of knots that the notion of effectively regrouping for August under the current leadership seems inconceivable. Quite who this lot are playing for is questionable, but it ain't "Pards."

 

Far from this being a season of consolidation, it's difficult to see how and where we've progressed. As the manager admitted again today, we're basically a one man team, existing on the goals of an on-loan striker - this was a tenth game without Remy and a ninth blank return.

 

At any other club, the downturn in form and lack of effort and organisation on the field would be punished by the removal of said manager, who had taken the team as far as he could and was now firmly stuck in reverse.

 

And while it's no secret to point out that this isn't any other club and that Pardew is currently doing his owner's bidding, at what point does that situation alter?

 

Would a poor start to next season see the manager remain in post to witness another January signing spree, or are we destined for a return to that old NUFC ploy of discarding a manager ludicrously early in the season? If a change is to be made, let it be sooner rather than later. 

 

The lack of large-scale unrest regarding our plight doesn't mean that Pardew enjoys widespread support - and what sympathy he did enjoy for working here in constrained circumstances has trickled away week by week, game by game, press conference by press conference.

We were obviously garbage under Souness, but we never had as many thrashings as we've had under Pardew. We've lost about eight or nine games this season 3-0 or 4-0.

 

10 in the past calendar year.
