Yorkie Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I speculate that there’s an awful lot of posturing going on in this forum and on Twitter. I bet you come kick off that you’ll be watching the match one way or another. Some might feel hurt, angry and disillusioned enough to turn their backs altogether, to the extent that they won't even watch on the tele. Fair enough, can't blame them. I'll be watching, but I feel pretty emotionally detached. It's difficult/impossible to get behind an institution which is actively insulting the nature of sporting competition.

Yorkie Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Looking forward to this. Hoping for a win. Think realistically it’ll be a narrow defeat. Particularly looking forward to seeing Almiron, Joelinton and (if he starts) ASM. That’s a potentially very exciting front line right there. Wish I was going, in truth. Like the rest of us, then. I still might. I haven’t decided yet. I don't know why you gave your season ticket up. You've clearly absolutely no desire to stop funding an institution which continues to take the piss out of you.

What you're talking about is an involuntary reaction. If we're 2-1 down and then Joelinton smashes a header home before Schar cracks a 30-yard volley in off the bar, in the moment of course I'll feel something. I'll just be glad I haven't given hundreds of pounds to Mike Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I'll be watching all season on tv as usual. Reverted to my pre-Rafa state where results don't make any odds to my day, just resigned to the fact we're nothing until he's gone. I'm actually interested to see what the new signings look like out of pure curiosity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be watching on TV. They're my club, I want them to win. I'll cheer when we score. I can't disassociate myself with NUFC altogether. I’m sort of between these perspectives. Gave up our ticket, then my dad uturned and decided renew but I’m sticking with staying away. I’m not going to go out of my way to stream the games but I’ll likely watch if they’re on BT and motd. I’m trying to take a bit of a back step so it doesn’t consume my entire weekend depending on result while there’s no ambition to be any better than barely survive. I still hope we win though, hope we’re not relegated. I understand people’s frustrations but can’t relate to those actively wanting us to lose every game.

Disco Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Be weird watching it in the boozer with other fans. Was never going to not watch the games but as to what I want to happen, I’m not sure. Love the players for the most point but aye, weathers a bit grim isn’t it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I'll be watching but pretty numb to caring whicherever ways it goes. Still my club I just won't give Ashley any more money and actively going to non-league team near me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I'll just be glad I haven't given hundreds of pounds to Mike Ashley. This is what it all comes down to for me, when I give my ticket up a few years back due to Mike, my dad said 'won't make a difference'. I said nar but it it does to me. I still stand by that sentiment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes23 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Expected to feel nothing but indifference, but I do actually find myself hoping for a humiliating defeat. Must have accessed some untapped reserves of antipathy somehow. Not going to watch though, the thought of Steve Bruce standing where Rafa should be turns my stomach.

Stifler Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Arsenal always get a cunt referee who gives them the game against us. I can see VAR working for them in this game, we’ll probably suffer at the wrong decision that VAR doesn’t look at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Hope we can get a result today. Their back line is a major question mark to me, not as much as our front line who have so much to prove but a ton of potential to be very exciting. I hope the boycott shows itself well and those who are in power from ownership and tv take notice. I also hope whoever is out there watching the match at home, pubs, or the stadium have a proper good Sunday. In what has to be the worst summer at this club that I can ever imagine - one I never thought would happen - I’m still happy to see football back and I’m looking forward to this roller coaster of a season. Likely more pain than joy but aye, I’ve been on this Newcastle roller coaster for 23 years. Lets have it today boys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishMagpie Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I'll be watching. Hoping for a sub 45k attendance and some decent protests going on.... tho come kick off I'll be 'emotionally involved'... Fucking hate the FCB. Hate the cunt for making me feel bad for wanting to see my team win. Hope he losses every last fucking penny he has!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Geordie Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I've turned down going today, as my disabled best mate's carer.
