They're part of the problem, they just can't see the bigger picture because it's all about them.

got to admit I’m very surprised it was so many. I assume it was lot of match tickets because it was first day back and people have missed it

Its not just a Newcastle/football thing. Generally speaking English people will do what suits them because they don't give a fuck about the consequences of their actions.

There aren't just the two options of either being a violent revolutionary or being a complicit actor in this farce. A passive protest is still a protest. Not spending money on a non-necessity that brings you misery is one of the easiest things you can do.

 

For example, I've stopped giving Blizzard any money via World of Warcraft or Overwatch as a result of the shitty revelations the other week (and also their products turning to wank over the last several years (not unlike us in many ways)). I am not, however, about to march on their offices or harangue anyone on Twitter. Not constantly participating in active, ongoing demonstrations is not the same as doing nothing.

 

You'd be entitled to say it's maybe not as powerful or it doesn't help highlight the problem to get more attention. Those are definitely valid opinions to hold. But you can't throw it back in someone's face as if they're doing nothing.

I don't like people calling the fans who went to the game "mongs" and "cunts". Bit OTT tbh.

Of course, the complication is if it still gives you enjoyment. If it brings you more misery not to go, for example.

Gonna be a long season if this is the craic after every home game mind.

The answer is to go out and get someone who can pass and run. 
 

We will concede bucketloads this season if we play that defence and Shelvey in front. And we don’t have anywhere near the firepower to make it up. 

 

Well, the teams that are better than West Ham will take us to pieces with that set-up. I'm not sure how we'll fare with the teams that are worse. 

 

But you're right. We don't have a decent player for the anchor position. Shelvey and Longstaff are lacking defensively. Hayden is poor in possession and isn't that quick. Hendrick wouldn't want the responsibility and seems to opt for a peripheral postion.

 

There are signs that we're trying to bring in someone for that role, and it would make a big difference if we succeeded.

Their choice, their money.

 

How about, instead of venting all that pent up anger on a forum, yous lot get off your arses and do something about the situation?

 

Oh no, sorry, to much hassle. Best to just watch games on telly and moan online.

 

I haven’t. But then again it’s not the only wrong point you’ve made in your recent posts.

 

I would keep going round in circles with you, but you clearly can’t comprehend simple things.

[nufcjmc]

Going to the game but then pointing out your displeasure does get more exposure than a website participant sitting here saying the players, manager owner, league are cunts. Its difficult as you still went and therefore you were a bum of seat which masks unrest and unhappiness as the camera pans around the stadium and continues to see bums on seats neglecting the obvious that we have had shite served and shoveled down our throats for over a decade.

 

No right or wrong answers I am afraid  one upping or snapping at each other doesn't help a divided fan base is alot easier to control and this has been so prolonged of a shit show I dont blame people for just accepting their lot in the hope one day some how it gets better.

Can I also say that the gammon who booed the taking of the knee - shameful.

Makes me miss the takeover arguments.

This is a very good point.  So many fans I know with ST's hate the actual going to the match, it's just something to do I've been told.

I'd bet we'd have 20k if we didn't have SJP so close to all the pubs in the city centre.

There's no middle ground with some on here.

Are you allowed to say that they’re part of the problem though?

'A few'

 

He logs on when he's mortal, spouts shite getting loads of mugs to swallow his bait then sleeps it off until next week.

I no longer live nearby, so I do my bit by ensuring I don't put my cash in Ashley's pocket. 

 

If people somehow derive pleasure from watching us week in, week out let them get on with it, but how many of them are just going through the motions?

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

One way we could be better defensively is by not believing that Matt Ritchie is a fucking left back

[Shearergol]

Did Bruce do any media after the game btw?

Do what you like.

 

This isn't North Korea.

Oh, so I can call them cunts. Cool.

Ok, you’re one of “those” posters. The pedantic wankers. Bye.

[Robster]

Jonbobson is very good. So many bites.

[Scoot]

Jonbobson is obviously part of the problem. 50k absolute whoppers lining Ashley's pockets got what they deserved today.
