Rafalove Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 don’t get me wrong both pressure and not giving money are important. Though for me not giving him money trumps pressure. The match day income is worth about 25m take that away and we instantly become 25 m more valuable to a potential buyer than we are to Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 You are correct in that in that it would send a huge statement if they didn’t go. Though given there is no organised away boycott, I don’t blame them for turning up. They’re also not putting money in to Ashley. Doesn't the booking fee go to Ashley?

Guest Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 It’ll be minimal but it’s not about the money. I don’t get why people would spend £100 plus a weekend to follow Ashley FC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Personally don’t have a problem with what the away fans are doing there. It’s the home fans I don’t like. Still turning up. Putting money in Ashley’s pocket, talking about supporting the team, then booing them off when things go tits up. I don’t think it’s about hitting him in the pocket anymore. If they’re going to go at all away, then they should be making it rotten against Ashley & Bruce, not singing that song like sheep and booing Ayoze Perez. Empty away ends would get people talking, it would be a huge statement. I agree with the booing Perez, and I think they'd be better off not going, but for those that do go, I don't expect them to drag Ashley's weight wherever they go.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I know I’ve been banging on, but does this not piss anyone else off? https://twitter.com/newcastlefanstv/status/1178360172311396352?s=21 Just seems one big joke and day out to them. That should have been fucking toxic, instead they’re singing and dancing. I know people should be able to have a laugh but this isn’t the time. It’s a fake defiance, ‘Look at us, we still support the lads, look how loyal we are’. Needs to stop. When the missus says she's stopping at her parents tonight.

TRon Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Didn't watch it. Laughed when I saw the result I think I might be officially desensitized.

Got to top those loyalty points up though so they can do it all again at Chelsea in a few weeks time. This craic is nearly as bad as that video like. This always happens at an away match and has done for years (do you ever go to away games) It is all about the day. Fair enough if you want to have a go at the people who go to home games but this has always been the case at away games for as long as I can remember. That’s not true, I’ve been amongst away fans that have turned very restless and angry in games like this. At other times, when it’s out of character (eg, under bobby, keegan, hughton) the crowd would be more quiet and disappointed. This here is a crowd with no expectations.

I don't remember them going on like this when we got hammered in better times past, so why now that the club is dying on it's knees, enabled by many of those people. I wish Netflix were doing a documentary on us this season, it'd be a must watch. Our fans would probably rival Sunderland's for stupidity, though sadly not for anger.

Toon No9 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Leicester has really done a good job from when they got promoted. They've got good players and play very good football. They've managed to keep a good standard even if they've sold some players and changed managers a few times. Always seems to find new players that fits to their way to play. Guess that's what's called ambition! Must be happy days to be a Leicester fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Yea, I normally think about Tottenham and Liverpool as good examples where they invest in a player and sell him on in order to improve the team. Leicester with Mahrez and Maguire to get in the likes of Soyunc, Maddison, Ndiddi, Barnes and Tielemans etc is also a really good example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsted Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Put this match on at 4pm, about 4.15 Sky said "let's hear Steve Bruce's thoughts now". Suddenly twigged that I don't need this shit any more and turned it off. Dammit, 48 years and this turns out to be the last straw. FFS, just chuckled when I clocked the final score. The constant drip-drip-drip has finally done it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 The last 30 minutes of the second half of the Brighton game is all I've watched this season, no match of the day, not even radio footage. I was driving back from Birmingham (3hrs drive to where I live) when this game was on and only kept up to date by checking periodically on here. The result was, as always, bitter sweet, scoffed at 3-0, 4-0, 5-0 but couldn't help for feel a tinge of hurt also. I don't think I'll ever truly "Not care", although I tell myself and others that it's more of a defence mechanism. I don't care in that it's not my team any more, it's Ashley Football Corperation now, but I care that this used to be my club and even in the dark days of Souness and Gullit, I still had some pride, now that's replaced by shame. I still get moments of anger but mostly that's turned to apathy, I just want our club back, whoever buys this club (I know, I know) will have bridges to build through no fault of their own, trust to repair for people to come back full time, I just hope this damage is not irreparable, I can't even tell you if it's repairable for me at this point. /rant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I feel unbelievably sad and hurt that the club I loved so dearly doesn't presently exist. I feel quite amused and somewhat vindicated by that despicable outfit getting absolutely battered by an ambitious club which - as an added sweetener - contains Ayoze Perez. It's everything the useless piece-of-shit individuals at the club deserve for willing and enabling it to fail and die: Ashley, Charnley, Bruce, whoever else has a director-type role, some fans. Fuck em all. 0-5, lovely old job. Hope it rots and the club I loved can re-emerge one day from its festering corpse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
