DJ_NUFC Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Literally ask any Newcastle fan and they'll tell you the main problem is Mike Ashley, suggesting otherwise is pointless, I'm not ever sure why you would do it. Thing is, ask any fan in the country about their club's ownership and very few will be really happy - even those at clubs with mega rich owners spending crazy money are, in the main, not totally comfortable with it. Ours gets a lot of attention because he's a high profile retailer but other than him I'd struggle to name many, apart from the Glazers, Short and Gibson. Even the nutters at Hull, Cardiff and QPR's names escape me despite all the press they get. Our ownership is little more than symptomatic of what English football has become in the 21st century. We're certainly not unique. The manager issue is different. They do vary enormously. However for Saturday's protest to have failed so miserably, despite a year of poor results, last week's 4-0 hammering and being 2-0 down at home raises a lot of questions about how they went about it. It was a moment when they had everything going for them. My feeling is that Newcastle fans in the main are just sick of gimmicky protests and the embarrassment they cause. We've had poorly attended marches, mock funerals, open top buses, billboards etc. We've waved flags, banners etc and had more splinter protest groups than most could remember. It seems to achieve little more than bringing a few extra press vultures up from London for a weekend hoping to pile more ridicule on us. Backslapping each other about a well organised protest - which it obviously wasn't - and to have those who did want protest calling the 48,500 or so who didn't, "sheep", "cunts", "knackers" "idiots" or whatever is not really the way forward. Or maybe it is in their eyes ? What is needed is a sane, rational, non-gimmicky agenda which engages the majority of match attending supporters and the city in general. That or a practical, business savvy consortium like the original Magpie Group who would be taken seriously. Think the protest failed pretty much down to one thing. Sure, the Colloccini and others asking for backing and the stewards removing a proportion of flyers didn't help, also the mixed feelings of doing something that might affect the expression of support for Jonas and the team played a part. But I think the fact that it was suggested people do something at a specific time was a killer. People angry going into the ground felt thy needed to hold back before venting and it killed the mood. It's fine for a round of applause, but plenty were sitting on their hands waiting for a reaction at 5 minutes and when it was sporadic at best, like fuck were they going to hold up an A4 sheet and join in. Surely 5 minutes isn't that long? If you can't hold back for 5 minutes and are suddenly all fine and not angry anymore, you weren't angry enough to begin with.

Scotty66 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Steve Stone - We dont want the ball "you are at your weakest when you have the ball, when you are attacking or when you have a corner."

Absolute flids at our club. John Carver “Every Monday he comes into work having compiled a defensive report on the opposition. That’s his project, working with our video analysts to provide players with the best information. “This week, for example, he will talk about Manchester City’s angles of attack, their set-pieces, their movement, as well as focussing on individuals. “The lads will be made aware of Dzeko’s strengths and weaknesses, the best way to nullify Silva, Milner’s incredible work-rate, everything. “That takes care of Monday to Thursday. On Friday it’s my turn when we look at ways to get at opponents. Put simply, Alan concentrates on how not to lose and I then find ways to win.” :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: This is so so bad.

The College Dropout Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 The fundamental flaw in comparing the relevant strengths of our squad to, say, Everton is that you are only viewing the merits of the Everton players as coached by Martinez or Moyes and our players as coached by Pardew. That exacerbates any difference in quality between the squads. Eto'o, Lukaku, Miralles built their reputations before Martinez arrived. Even Atsu had some hype. That's league above Cisse and company. Everton actually try to keep their best players. Ashley would've tried to sell half that team. Debuchy had 1 good season, Baines has had 5 - Ashley would've sold him yonks ago. Everton are legitimately trying to be as competitive as they can. We are not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 "Milner's incredible work-rate" is an underappreciated gem too. Of all Citeh's weapons, you don't want to be on the end of Boring Milner's work-rate. I mean, fuck Yaya bouncing Vurnon off his arse and Zabaleta getting in behind your full-backs, or even Aguero burning Willo... that Milner is a PROPER player. He'll track you back to death, like.
