What's wrong about what I posted then?

 

Results, premier league, Rafa Benitez and the rest all are pointless at this point getting Ashley out is the only thing that matters yet people don't seek to grasp that. There is nothing to support or get behind. If the stadium was empty and there was mass trouble and protests every home game maybe it would work but people are too selfish to try

 

A win today and most will be appeased again. We need a good hammering to ramp it up a notch further, short term pain for long term gain.

He’s only here for money? Extension of ashley now?

 

He is only here for money though as if it wasn't for the 6m clause he would have walked? If not then it's even worse as he's putting up with this shit and serving up early cup exits like the other wet lettuces before him

 

If he's leaving in may anyway and when he goes everyone goes and it all comes crashing down then what's the point in all this now? As I genuinely can't see it or feel zero for it as much as I've really tried. As I said I've gone from doing aways last season to wanting us to lose now. It's like trying to do up a car as it's speeding off the edge of a cliff. Pointless

 

The only thing that can be done is to stop going and mass protests but people just will not do it they would rather bury there head in the sand and hope we can park the bus for a point at Crystal Palace.

 

Minging club and fanbase now it really is

Clearly he's using the current mood to put further pressure on Ashley AND his cronies. He's not stupid, he knows all too well what happens in January he just wants everyone to know that he is in no way complicit and has laid his plans out in full detail again, it's called diplomacy but seems to be wasted on Tubes.

He has integrity, he has respect for the fans and his players, whom he bought, why would he abandon them? It's not in his nature to reneg on his promises or to fuck over a whole fan base, city and his players just to make a point to the few that are trying to destroy a club he has grown to love.

 

If he stays beyond the end of the season it'll be because he wants what's best for us and is hoping that someone will buy Ashley out and give him some tools to progress.

 

As for your point about him stopping any kind of ill feeling towards Ashley, you're very much mistaken, the biggest challenge to Ashley's tenure has come under our most stability, Rafa has given us all hope again, Rafa has shown us that we can compete, we can hope for more than survival, Ashley spent years extinguishing that hope with the help of Pardew, Carver et al. They got rinsed for being implicit because they were, they told us we couldn't compete, they told us we were a little club now, not a sovereign state. Rafa tells us we can compete, we have got the ability to aim higher and we can beat anyone on our day. Saying Rafa is like any of those is a fucking insult, give your head a shake!

Thing is tubes, rightly or wrongly you’ve forsaken the football side of things. You’re obsessed with the off field - as am I. It’s clouding your judgement though. He’s no stooge, patsy or wet lettuce. I think we’ve just forgotten what professionals look like at this club. Watching the bobby doc on the plane a few hours ago. Was a good insight into the media, manage, club politics triumvate and Rafa treads it competently.

Possibly yes. I am just obsessed with getting Ashley out I can't look past anything else, the football side of is totally irrelevant too me now, I really wish it wasn't as I loved it and I would go to as many matches home and away as I could. Saturdays feels empty not been obsessed in NUFC

I'm just so so pissed off at what Ashley has done to this club and fanbase and how much he is killed something I've been passionate about and it enrages me hardly anybody even seems bothered that's all

 

I mean this just isn’t true. It’s overdue but not absent.

 

Not on here it isn't. Everyone gets it on here but I mean in general they don't

It is overdue but like I said before more action is being taken now than ever before, bar when Keegan left and we're seeing a change in attitudes from fans and media alike. It's just the waiting game now which is the frustrating part. Rafa is playing part of the game but he's no patsy. We need to keep the pressure on Ashley, any focus moved on to Rafa or anyone else for that matter is only detracting from the ultimate goal.

I just want and need some genuine reason to get behind the team on the pitch again and something to look towards, as it just seems a waste of time and money to go to games singing rafas name just to aim for 17th, then he leaves in May then it all comes to an end anyhow. I just think I'm mentally preparing and accepting it's over now rather than go through this long slow death and wait until May

I’m the same mate. I think the season beyond the same ol up is a massive waste of time. Our players seem nice lads and have some talent and are doing their best and it could end tomorrow for me the enjoyment I get from the football side. I also love something explosive to set a spark up all our beleaguered, apathy riddled arses too as a fan base. Unfortunately you’re just lashing out without rationale.

True. I just don't know where to go from here though and need an outlet for my passion and anger. I think seeing people looking forward to matches an that on here makes me wonder how, but it was only 12 months ago I was going to Swansea and Southampton and loving it and there will have been people then like I am now so suppose everyone has different breaking points

who's aim is 17th, show me the quote? show me where he leaves in May?

 

you won't be able to because its just your opinion, coming on here moaning about it day in day out is a bit weary and in truth you need to let it go and go do the shopping or something rather than spending a depressing afternoon slagging off everything nufc. bore off

Seriously? You're not even looking what's going on yet typing out shit as fact. THAT'S enraging.

 

Others work their arses off to actually do something through building an online presence, organising marches, demos, shirts etc etc. A fucking lot of people are working their arses off.

 

Stop throwing your baseless shit around. It'll do more harm if people get sucked in by it. People are working damn hard despite what you say.

 

In between your flawed insulting of the fanbase and manager you make good points. Points we all feel. We're fans from long before this era. But stop spreading cancerous, baseless, damaging shite.

 

:clap:

"Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez told to leave club: Mike Ashley centre of job decision"

 

Probably shiite but makes you wonder about his appearance.

 

No, the article is just Jamie Carragher advising Rafa to leave the club if Ashley stays: https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/731429/Newcastle-Rafa-Benitez-job-contract-Mike-Ashley-Jamie-Carragher-news

I mean, I get where Tubes is coming from in some ways. If there was another Pards-esque manager then they would be another target as with the Bishop or Charnley. That would turn the stadium toxic (crying Pards  :lol:) increasing the pressure and media awareness. Respect for Rafa is muting that avenue of 'attack'.

However, implying Rafa is staying for selfish reasons is probably off the mark and repeating it incessantly everywhere rather grating  :lol:
