I am not, I do not care.

Calling us poocastle man, it’s as shite and as uninspired as their club. They’ve no clue what to do now, last season we were shite, Rafa was shite, and the ‘lower leagues’ are a piece of piss. Then we got promoted and Rafa was still shite, he spent a fortune last year and the squad is Championship standard. Now our squad is the PL standard one he took over but he’s also spent £90m on so we are exactly where you’d expect it to be and he’s done nothing impressive they’re also all fewmin that we didn’t turn on him when we had a brief spell in the bottom 3 as if he wasn’t foreign we’d have definitely turned on him. Not sure where they are on the ‘not bothered about the Maggie bastards’ scale but tbf they really shouldn’t be as the closest they’ll get to playing NUFC will be if their first team meets our U23 side in the Trotters Independent trading Co cup or whatever the fuck it is. I assume a team as wank as them would be knocked out of the League cup and FA cup a round or so before our lot even enter it.

Tell you what. The difference between this team and the one under Mcclaren is absolutely massive. Mentality I mean. Every single one grafting like fuck.

Given that Mitrovic has said that Benitez is “too tactical” and admitted that Newcastle’s style of play doesn’t suit him, I should imagine that Benitez couldn’t give a flying fuck given that, since Mitrovic left, Benitez’s tactics have seen us lose only once (away to Liverpool) and beat Man Utd and Arsenal. Still, Mitrovic’s transfer value has almost certainly gone up, I imagine Rafa has paid attention to that.

Imagine the horror when our takeover goes through and the mythical one they're clinging onto disappears

Well appointing Rafa was a genius move.... But no, sooner he fucks off the better. Hopefully before Rafa gets tempted away.

Just makes you so proud watching us again. Rafa is a god.

6 in a row, FTM. It would be nice to leap frog fat Sam's blinging Everton.

How about something like this? "Regretfully, I now realise that I do not have the ability or gravitas to lead this great party. I therefore offer my resignation with immediate effect. I urge members of the party to vote for a centrist leader to unify the party against the extreme right wing the Tory party has become. Perhaps persuade David Milliband to return, for instance. Meanwhile I will return to the backbenches and return to being an insignificant contrary arsehole as that's what I'm best at."

Ok.

No doubt we’ll see his continental intellectual empty glasses frames make a reappearance after he wins his first 2-3 games as well.

No doubt he'll wash up somewhere in the Championship, stinking of Lynx Africa and with his silver mane coated in far too much hair gel for a man of his advancing years

A thread on their website about our match has over 25,000 views that's more than they get for a home match https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/poocastle-sky-sports-premier-league-sky-sports-main-event-sky-sports-ultra-hd.1426626/page-25

Let the “6 in a row-ah” parties commence.

You're welcome. Pre Rafa I was never bothered about watching us play. Now I fucking love it. Today was commsumate professionalism from the whole team. We are more than the sum of our parts, for the first time since Robson or keegan. Great to watch.

They've taken our win today REALLY badly.

We've been safe since we hit 35 points. 8th place up for grabs now.

Aye, though if Sean Dyche manages to take Burnley to europe then it'd be hard to argue.

Over to Noelie and Trooper

Nice too watching a relegation battle purely as a spectator. A lot of good will in the media developing around Shelvey, the push is on. If he keeps his head down and works hard they'll take him. They'd be mad not to.

All we need is for me to start every match thread and Renton to attend every game and next season we’ll win the league and cup double

Get in! I'd let Rafa piss on my face!

I'm fully expecting Joselu to be like Ronaldo at this rate!

RITCHIE!!! FUCK THAT CORNER FLAG!

Never understood why people don't rate Belgium as a country. The beer there is in a different universe to the rest of the world. Plus chocolate to keep the chicks happy. And chips. What's not to like?

Could someone try to explain Tubb’s point that he’s failing to make? I suspect there isn’t one, but I’d hate to miss out on the mad bantz if there was one.

Mitro scores again

Feckin' Snowflakes, man. I find myself, as a bleeding heart liberal, thinking this more and more. I'm conflicted because if someone genuinely feels bullied that's not cool and I don't want to participate in making them feel like that, but on the other hand I think it's patently ridiculous and waters down actual racial/sexuality-based abuse. From my perspective, he's rearing a victim with the same complex he has himself. For those who are not aware, "teabagging" is the act of a digital character, made up of a bunch of pixels, squatting over the body of your freshly killed corpse (by machine gun, gas, flamethrower, grenade etc.). And the issue being discussed is just that, nothing about other slurs that might accompany it.

I saw a bit of that Professor Green doc. It should hardly need pointing out, but when you have white working class areas where there's no longer any work then that is going to breed all sorts of resentment. A lot of people there of the very definition of 'under privileged'. Probably about the worst fucking thing you can then have is a middle class woman* (*especially, rightly or wrongly) telling them they're not. They're privileged compared to someone living in a third world shanty town, aye. But compared to UK society as a whole? What a sackload of shit. You just need to look at academic performance amongst white working class laddies to know many are headed straight to the bottom of the pile without even manual labour to fall back on.
