The Ashley days were pushing me towards an existential crisis in terms of trying to figure out if I even liked/cared about the club I supported anymore. Fair enough. Perhaps it's recency bias or perhaps it's just us experiencing a whole new type of pain. We've suffered the pain of the club being a decaying husk, destroyed by one man's greed Now we're suffering the pain of the bigger kids ganging up and bullying us for having the audacity of trying to compete with them and we have no one standing up for us.

Her dad was apparently instrumental in dropping the charges. No doubt he's an absolute cretin and I never suggested him as a Newcastle player, I just put the question out there. She stayed with him, Stockholm Syndrome at it's finest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 7, 2025 Share Posted August 7, 2025 Call it morbid curiosity, but I'm genuinely intriguing to see who the Isak replacement is. Seems Thiaw is the CB wr want and Wissa is the Wilson replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've since looked up all the evidence and there can be no doubt of not only his guilt, but also the guilt of the justice system.

Skjaere9 Posted August 7, 2025 Share Posted August 7, 2025 I’m pretty sure Elanga will prove better than Big Vurn Anita, so probably not objectively the worst, but this summer is carrying depressingly vibes to that one (and the earlier summer of Lee Bowyer) in terms of the club utterly failing to push on and seize a golden opportunity to move up the hierarchy. Probably more depressing now because everything else surrounding the window—trophy, CL, quality of manager and key squad players, wealth and alleged ambition of owners—seemed so positive as of June 1. Anyways, is Big Vurn still alive? Bring him in on a free for midfield depth? 🙃 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted August 7, 2025 Share Posted August 7, 2025 Mitchell slagged us for overpaying and the PSR debacle that cost Minteh and Anderson but was designed to cost us Bruno. Now we're getting slagged for not paying enough and not convincing players that we're better prospect for them than other clubs that are more famous and have been more successful in recent times. We go for ambitious, high-profile targets, fail, some say failure was coming a mile off, and then the same people kick off when lower profile targets (Wissa, McGinn etc.) get mentioned. They say we are "shopping like West Ham". Some things you just can't win. Whatever it is, I do not find it "embarrassing", unless you want to buy into Talksport mickey taking. Man U may have Sesko, but they're not in the CL. They'll have to improve a lot to get near us this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your football club having zero strategy is the transfer market, not so much. I shit my pants on the 632 from Blaydon to the haymarket in 1990 on account of some bad prawns.
