Still remember one summer where every day he peddled a line that people at the club said Stephen Carr was "flying" in training... Ahhh, Christ! There was one where we were linked with Miguel for a while during and after Euro 2004 and when we missed out Shepherd said something like, ‘don’t worry there’s always another car in the lot’.

He's doing nothing that affects them in any way too, so let him get on with it. Yet the poor bloke is slagged off left right and centre. So strange. I don't agree. He's been on social media vocally slagging off fans that don't live locally, saying they can't be proper fans. It doesn't bother me per se, but when you have him acting as a mouthpiece for the fanbase with a "Newcastle Consortium Supporters" tag (i.e. trying to represent everyone that wants the takeover) and knocking about with dickheads like Steve Wraith, he makes us look thick as pigshit. I respect him for getting up and doing something, but the attention seeking thereafter is why he gets so much flak and rightfully so.

I know this because I made a really shit gif I can’t find the article but I’ve found a quote of it in the comments to this article made by Hadrian at 2:09am https://www.nufcblog.com/2008/01/10/we-expect-newcastle-manager-appointment-today/ Alan Oliver article , jan 5th There is never a dull moment where Newcastle United are concerned. At the moment Sam Allardyce is under fire from a good percentage of United fans, but chairman Chris Mort insisted to me at Stamford Bridge that they were happy with their manager. That was on Saturday night. On Sunday night I received a phone call from someone who works for the biggest agents in the world. He wanted Chris Morts mobile number. On Monday the aforesaid top guy’s repesentative contacted the United chairman who repeated what he had told me at Chelsea. But then Chris Mort was suddenly given the name of the someone who would like to manage Newcastle United. And I am told it nearly blew the chairman’s socks off. I know the name of the top agent and his colleague who contacted me. But not the name of the would – be United Manager. That has not stopped me wondering about it. The top man in question is friends with the José Murinho camp. So has José been touted as Newcastle manager? or Marcello Lippi, who is currently out of work? all I can say is watch this space.

Can you link a tweet where he said people can’t be fans if they don’t live locally? To my knowledge, it’s based on a comment he made about Shell the lawyer while he was on Wraith’s podcast. He said she’s not a fan (of NCSL) but people took it to mean “not a fan of NUFC”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoTime Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 No I can't, I'm blocked from viewing his tweets. He made a general comment not directly aimed at her about how if you don't live locally you're not as much as a fan as he is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be quite a bomb and would really show up the big 6 as self serving, greedy and arrogant!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
