50,673 reasons why ashley is still at this club. for over 14 years he's held the supporters of what used to be nufc in utter contempt. he's stamped all over the heritage of the club and city by renaming the ground. he's ensured there can be no future extension to the ground in its historical position for his own profit. he's overseen the stadium he inherited turn in to a shabby advertising hoarding for a company with the moral compass of a dead slug. he covered the front of our shirt for years with fucking WONGA and some tacky asian online gambling site. he's ensured we're unable to compete financially with clubs of a much smaller stature by stifling our commercial revenue. he's absolutely shit all over two of the top 3 newcastle living legends of my generation in keegan and shearer. I'm amazed he hasn't come up with a plan to punish in some way those who are old enough to have sang 'my eyes have seen the glory of macdonald scoring goals' he treated the one man in benitez who offered us some hope like a cunt. he's employed despicable, sycophantic twats like pardew and bruce to lower expectations, remove the heat from himself and who will willingly discredit the supporters. rather than strengthen he's ensured another relegation battle by starting the season with a weaker squad than the previous one. he's failed to invest in the training facilities despite promises to do so till they resemble those of a non league club. he's created a gaudy presentation of a permanent signing of a loanee which was lapped up in a manner similar to that usually afforded to a team which has won a title. mind-boggling that people pay this cunt.

Well, err, if you won't give Ashley your money and you want him gone and eventually he goes why wouldn't you go back? (I wouldn't crawl up, that would just be silly).

Someones having a nice time

Aye, no chance of any female pundits on Afghan footie now.

I crawled up Barrack road once. It wasn’t the full way mind, just for a few feet every 10 yards or so. Fucking Slalom D. I didn’t even live in that direction. How the fuck I got home I have nay idea.

Look at the clock and then his watch…fucking hell.

The recipe looks delightful, Dave.

I've said it before, but this fan blaming doesn't sit comfortably with me, feels like victim blaming. What you've said is true, although to be fair he has tried recently to offload us. You've decided to stop going to the match which is obviously fine, but Ashley won't give a shit either way. Match day income is largely an irrelevance, surely last year showed that? So fine, do what you want, but don't condemn fans who don't want to forego the pleasure they get from the match, and who want to bring their kids up enjoying the match day experience, or maybe just meet their mates, cos it has zero impact on Ashley. Other than possible devalue the club further and make us less attractive to buyers I guess.

Oliver Hardy?

Looked good going forward, but were at times shocking at the back. Willock's inclusion will paper over a lot of cracks. West Ham aren't shit. Crying out for depth, but whaddyagonnado? I'm not stressing, partly because I just don't care as much.

Don't take any notice of Robbie Savage if you have any cognitive brain functions.

I have to tell you, I am watching the matches in the last season at home with my father (We always see togheter Atletico matches)... And today he has celebrated the Wilson and Murphy goals as if he was one of you and insulting the reefere in the penalty. There is a new Magpie in the City, boys.

‘I’m getting the word incel’

Aye because male football pundits like Paul Merson are reknowned for their eloquence and deep thinking.

He was washing his hair, Fish.

This is bound to be a comfort to the women of Afghanistan as they begin to be raped, kidnapped and murdered by the Taliban. At least we can celebrate the death of Western liberal interventionism. What a colossal twat

Is it tiny bowls of English food?

That would have worked if Meenz didn't reply quickly to your post. Something he doesn't do to whatsapp messages...

Sorry, I made it up completely, including the bit about lifting it from a song - I just wanted to send Fish on a fruitless trip searching for lyrics. Apologies for dragging you in

Pretty much where 90% of the board is tbh Fish. If we don't go down its meh. If we do go down its meh.

Fuck me - that's is worthy of a ban in itself. No call for that.

FYP Now, if it had been a Gregg's pasty ...

Nice that you’ve eventually found someone to go for a drink with though

In February the US had 13,000 troops in Afghanistan. They currently have 28,000 in South Korea. This was undoubtedly an ideological decision rather than a practical one and has ended in the loss of 20 years of progress and an incredible number of lives.

Same amount of points as Manchester City [/Luke Edwards]

Maybe someone should get the EPL involved.

Probably the worst topic ever posted on this entire board, in its what? 15 years of existence? Nonsense posted by a nonce

I posted here this time last week - shitfaced and talking little to no sense - and have absolutely no memory of it, but you've got some fucking problems like.

I'm not that impressed with UM's follow up to 'The burglar's Dog' if I'm being brutally honest. Sorry, mate.

I never go near Barrack Road when I’m going like, usually waddle up from Town.

So, you also object if a Teeside factory worker tried to tell media recruitment specialists who to employ, by that rationale?

Apart from our second goal obviously

Bruce is experienced and has them organised

What to say. Ritchie and Murphy can never be Starters in this team as a defenders. Krafth can never be Premier League Player... Neither Right Back or Center Back. And if you add to this a bad match for Fede and Clark... You have a totally chaos in the back. With 2-2- the match was open and can win any team.... The 'Penalty' changed everything. It is very difficult, because we are a deffensive team with a bad defense style (With Rafa we were deffensive team... But we are stones in the back. A wall). And the problem is that players like Lewis (over all) or Manquillo are not so much better than the players have play today. I hope we improve with Lascelles and Schar.

Who walks into it when fit? Lascelles can be decent, Dummett can be too but depends on our formation, Lewis is like a rabbit in headlights, Krafth is shite too. Clark very hit and miss. Needs upgrading as does having to play Shelvey in CM and needed cover for Wilson. This is all down on the owner's foot on the club's throat.

Best West ham side I've seen for years and we've gave them a game 1st half but you couldn't see them not scoring. Centre midfield weak as fuck and without Wilson we'll be fucked if he gets injured. Not far off our best side so when the injuries kick in......? Bottom line, much needed players not brought in and it could cost us our PL place. Worst owner in the league and it's like a fucking ball and chain around our ankles as a club.

Only Bowen was offside for the first and he wasn't interfering with the play. The other player was tight but onside.

I have a commentator that was saying before he hopes the Newcastle fans dont expect Willock to keep up the rate of scoring he ended the season with . To be fair if we had a CM who managed 38 in 38 we might be the CL team we all apparently think we should be every year.

Bet there’s some 10/10 trim gets in there

I went once and the beer is served in glasses.

Unbelieveble that Toney and Armstrong, two of our players, have been the best strikers in last years en Championship. I mean... I don't believe in they as our starter strikers... But they had never have chances with us in the team. Specially in the Armstrong situation... Academy player, Youth England Member... It was obvious that when he developed physical aspects he would be a great player for the Premier.

Given the relatively low cost in terms of $ and human life it was a baffling decision to leave so abruptly when what we’re seeing now was pretty much inevitable.

Blair was certainly acting as Bush's poodle. Tbh, I'm not sure if a do nothing after 9/11 was feasible either, but we are where we are as they say. Once committed, we were committed without a time limit. Fact is, we were maintaining relative peace and stability with an international skeleton military force. We've now withdrawn that abruptly and it will have a devastating effect on the people of Afghanistan, the stability of the region, and perhaps global terrorism. I don't accept Biden had to do anything Trump agreed to. He's now to blame for this, and I believe it will turn out to be a disastrous decision.

And watching that midfield, Willock would have been ideal breaking onto Tierney’s crosses and Smith-Rowe’s knocks in behind. What a shame. Toney has absolutely bossed £50m White too. They’re mid-table for life if they keep conducting business like this

Signing ONE player has blown Brucie's mind. FFS.

Im all for this

He'll have had about 6 different hobbies since metal detecting was flavour of the month
