  1. Mako, I agree with more of your points than most on here (I think there's been one so far) but Fish is right with this IMO. If the player is in a team that goes down, it would severely weaken his hand in negotiations with other clubs, especially if he wanted to remain a PL player. Granted there may be some exceptions where a bidding war triggers, but ultimately this is quite a rare occurrence.

     

    At least that's how I see it. I do actually kind of get your wider point about players not taking responsibility for their failure, but that's not the world we live in. If my company went bust tomorrow due to generally poor working practices of the staff, myself included, I would very likely be looking at a lower paid job to begin with, even if I was employed immediately.

    the fuck are you doing to my posts?

     

    You're messing with my mojo dude...you're all up in my chi.

     

    That last bit just sounds like something he'd say.

  3. This seems like the kinda guy that Raheem Sterling should be letting guide his career.

     

     

    He is also Saido Berahino’s agent unsurprisingly.

     

    RAWK started a thread on this Sterling business on May 18th. 3 days later, it now has 138 pages and 5,500 posts.

     

    Can you imagine if we were like that :lol:

    No, I had the audacity to say that Pardew was the best coach NUFC could hope fur under the Ashley regime. I also suggested that if the same people behind SackPardew were also the ones setting up AO.com, then it probably wouldn't come up with any stellar ideas. That was enough for a few of the knuckle draggers on the forum to absolutely lose their shit and accuse me of being a mackem troll, and whoever runs the forum decided it was better for the groupthink ambience of the place to just kick me off rather than allow me to fight my corner. The ringleader was some asshole calling himself WallsendMag, which is ironic, as he would have to catch a bus into Newcastle if he had the balls to say to me IRL what he was so brave enough to do on NO. As far as I remember, I was never actually on the forum long enough to even start a thread (as they remind you about a billion times in the signup process, you have to post 100 times before you get that privelage).

     

    :lol:

     

    I've never been a big fan of N-O to be honest. I could be totally wrong, but it feels like it's approaching RTG in some ways - it's obviously the main Newcastle board where you get the slightly more excitable fan. I'm a little surprised that Essemmbee doesn't post there.

     

    That said, they do have some of the best 'Gold' threads I've ever seen.

    I'm not saying they aren't the better side over the course of the season? I'm saying they're where they are for the same reasons we're where we are. A combination of quality, application and fortune, be it good or mis. They've enough application and fortune to make up for their lack of quality. We've lacked application and fortune throughout the season and our quality isn't good enough to make up for that shortfall.

     

     

    Sorry, the first comment I made was in reference to your luck claim - I don't think they're lucky, I just think they got their arses in gear; the rest of my post was just a general lamentation about the state of our club, not a criticism of your argument.
