Dr Venkman Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Isn't this cutting off your nose to spite your face? Depends on your personal reason for investing in the fortunes of the club. If it's a daily/weekly distraction from real life and an excuse to have a pint at the weekend, yes. If it's a bit more than that, an institution for which you feel pride and respect, representing the hopes and dreams of a region that needs them, then no.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I'd piss myself laughing if we went down after spending all this money which should have been spent from the get go and on a continuous basis, i.e. proper investment regularly instead of when time has demanded it, i.e. threat of relegation. All them cunts at the wonga dome hailing their hero Ashley for splashing the cash... yehaaa! Look at the dugout, look at the league table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The insinuation that those not wanting Newcastle United relegated see the club only as a distraction on a weekend. Couldn't be more out of touch with reality.

xLiaaamx Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Aye, relegation didn't change anything last time and it wouldn't this time. Ashley would just keep the wages higher than the rest of the championship to get straight back up and then continue. He's got this club where he wants it and relegation won't change that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 There's been baby steps since last summer, shame that's an improvement from total cunts to incompetent cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmoset Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I've absolutely no problem with anyone that wants us to stay up or go down because there're sound reasons for both, it's the people that change their mind based on results that baffle me a bit.

Darth Crooks Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I changed from yes - not sure it's down to the signings so much as I'd now rather not be relegated.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 It's still a yes from me, a massive yes that I'd celebrate by twirling a wonga top. It is still the least this mess of a so-called club deserves, the owner, MD, half the players and tens of thousands of fans. Ultimately we are taking up the place of a club who would relish to be in the league, who would love to go to Anfield and places like that and do more than stay up. A club whose players would fight tooth and nail to be part of it, to improve, to make history etc. We stink the place out along with the mackems and Villa who I hope go down with us.

MW Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I think a reason many will have changed their mind is last year we were still scarred by Pardew, and then they'd appointed Carver for the rest of the season, so everyone was pretty fucked off. In my opinion we have shown signs of improvement in our style of play (if not the league table), and have more of likeable set of players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Whilst it would undoubtedly be satisfying to see the wankers that run the club squirm at reaping exactly what they've sown, I have to admit to being a bit more convinced by our recent transfer business. It does actually look like they're trying to be better. Obviously I don't doubt a lot of that is because we're in the relegation zone but going after Berahino at £20m+ is as promising a thing we've done in fucking years, even if we didn't get him. So I'd want us to stay up to see what happens next season. #fickle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does actually look like they're trying to be better.

So I'd want us to stay up to see what happens next season. #fickle Going after him and offering 21m or 24m is staggering for us, but we could have got him by blowing things out the water with a 28-30m offer. Had we done that, which we easily could have, with all my hatred and all my cynicism I would have been forced to rethink some of my thinking. As such, we are paying more and bidding more, but we are getting more and the consequences of relegation are almost fatal these days. They haven't changed, just the amount of money or stakes involved has. If they truly had changed, they would have done an FS with Owen and blew things out the water or when we did when we bought Shearer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Nope. Want us to go down. I have lost so much love for Newcastle United over the past couple of years, it is absolutely heartbreaking. I simply cannot support this club fully anymore and my only sense of enjoyment will be us going down to financially spite Ashley. I cant believe it has come to this, but it shows just what a perilous situation the club is in. Personally, I think these signings were too little too late. We deserve to go down. We are an absolute shithouse of a club. Our match-going fans are probably the 3rd worst element of the club; behind Ashley and the SD logos around SJP. I am so bitter. Die, Ashley.

olliemort Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 If it meant Ashley would fuck off this time then 100% yes. I haven't enjoyed fuck all games win lose or draw. Even when we win a few games you hear from other fans you were giving out about Ashley and now look he's turning it around for you. But you can imagine the fat cunt would be very close to a heart attack if we got relegated again! An awful thing to say but I would be over the moon if that happened and I don't think I would be the only one on here that would find if pleasing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
