  1. Are we not slightly to blame for all of this?? Ashley is a successful business man don't forget that.

     

     

    Does that guy not have a point?

     

    Who the fuck is this guy?

     

    Why does the man in his linked video have a tea towel on his head?

     

    Did anyone watch the video? I'm concerned it might be some kind of weird porn...

  2. Him/his insurance, aye.

    I was initially a tad stroppy, then realised I was being a twunt. :lol:

    I'll plough through the paperwork tomorrow, can't be arsed tonight.

     

    Fair play actually, I think a lot of people fly off the handle very quickly over cars, but while yeah, it's not ideal that someone went into the back of you, it's also not like they did it on purpose.

     

    That makes it sound like I've done the same thing, but to date I've never ended up in any such situation. The missus put the car through a bush once though. Actually quite impressive...

  3. I've just been in the slowest crash of my life :lol:

    Some divvy rear-ended me at about 1mph whilst I was sitting in stationary in traffic, and still managed to leave a dent in the bodywork. :redcard:

    Ffs. I'm handing the thing back in a couple of weeks too.

     

    That sucks. I assume he's paying for it though?

  4. I think, just on a very basic level, that anti-Ashley T Shirts might be more successful than placards. They couldn't be confiscated really, not without some legitimate claims of sexual harassment being made, and while people could be ushered out, if enough people were doing it Ashley would be emptying thousands out of his own stadium.

     

    That said, whether it would actually achieve anything is another matter altogether.

     

    Perhaps producing an unnofficial replica kit - one that couldn't be attacked for copyright infringement - would eat at Puma (who Mako considers to be the only vulnerable sponsor). Problem is it would cost a bit. I guess people could start buying Juventus tops or something. Or maybe a lower league club that would actually benefit from the income. Just kicking ideas around here, really.

  5. Didn't watch this and am pleased I didn't. Starting to look genuinely concerning on the relegation front though. At least this time, if it happens, Ashley should get more of the press vitriol than we will...you'd hope. Would have preferred to have gone down with Pardew in that situation though.

  6.  

    It's not that I'm defending Pardew as being a good manager, he was appalling and made some baffling decisions. But I do believe we'd be in a better situation had he still been here.

     

    Sure, we would have inevitably lost to Sunderland, but I do feel we could have held on against Burnley back in January, and probably picked up another couple of wins along the way.

     

    I'm simply of the opinion that Pardew is a better coach than Carver, I'm really not trying to "wind up" people at all.

     

    They'll settle down, we're just not used to seeing new members actually contribute on here - the go to response is to assume that they're either a mackem or a WUM. I think the recent results have made people especially tetchy.

     

    Just to bring you up to speed through, the general consensus here is that Pardew was a charlatan and a knacker, that Carver is worse, and that Ashley is making Satan look good.

  7. FFS :lol:

     

    How to lose friends and alienate people - the masterclass.

     

    Mako, you probably need someone in PR to communicate your ideas in a less intensely annoying way. I actually suspect you have some good ideas, even though I have some misgivings about their viability. But you seem to be at odds with almost everyone in the forum currently - how does that fit in with your plan? I think you mentioned that NO had a similar reaction. Have you considered revising your sales pitch?

     

    I do reckon that you've been unfairly called out as a mackem though, that doesn't look accurate to me. I defer to MF's judgement on this one however ;)

  8. Just look at the amount of activity on here, it definitely stirred people up. Normally we lose these games and barely anyone comments for the next couple of days. I've been struggling to keep up this time around. It's at least something to keep clinging on to for however long it lasts. False hope maybe, but isn't that what the vast majority of football is about?

  9. At least there seems to be some energy about all of this currently, rather than just apathy. The real challenge is sustaining it though, as Ashley will be banking on our morale falling and on the majority of us getting back into line. We need creative ideas to keep the energy going - which is where I actually agree with that Maku guy, in principle, at least.
