  1. I wouldn't put it past Ashley to do a check & see which season ticket holders aren't regularly attending. Then offer to buy back their seats so he can sell them cheap on match days. That way he'd be able to try and fill in the gaps in the stadium
  2. When your stooping as low as £2.50 for premiership games it stinks of desperation.
  3. 6/12/15 AshleyOut.com today reaffirms its desire to end Mike Ashley’s reign as owner of our club. We may have been quiet over the summer but we are not going away. We are not reacting to a disastrous start to the season, we have been repeatedly convinced over the last eight years that Mike Ashley is not the man to take our club forward. We therefore support, and intend to promote the following: – A boycott of all future home matches (including season ticket cancellations) – Protests against Sports Direct (including the Ashley Embargo) We feel a sustained combination of both will force Ashley out of our club. Ashley bought, and continues to own, our club for one simple reason: to promote Sports Direct. An empty stadium and constant protests against Sports Direct, a company which has been widely criticised for its unethical practices, will make Ashley’s position as owner untenable. Ashley cannot compete with a united fanbase, we have the power to take our club back, he is not untouchable. We believe Ashley’s unexpected interview prior to the final game of last season was a reaction to the boycott of the Spurs game and evidence that he is fearful of future protests. As a fanbase, we are commended for our loyalty, for sticking with the club through thick and thin. However, this loyalty has been exploited for too long. Giving up your season ticket and not attending games does not mean that you have given up on your club. It is the most effective way to show Ashley that we will not stand idly by while he runs our club into the ground. Short term pain for long term gain. Take a stand and fight for the future of your club. United we stand, divided we fall. Ashley Out!
  4. So we haven't won 2 in a row all year that's pretty shit considering we're playing Spurs who are unbeaten in their last 14 premiership games this season
  5. What a kind gentleman full of çhristmas spirit season of goodwill innit. Lower than a snakes belly the slimy little toad.
  6. http://www.disclose.tv/news/exclusive_stanley_kubrick_confesses_to_faking_the_moon_landings_in_new_interview/125401 I haven't been able to watch the video yet but have read part of the transcript what do you think? we're we the "Apollo kids" really duped.
  7. I suppose the big question is will they turn up next week against Spurs, we're still in the bottom 3. It's ok winning an odd game here & there but we need to be consistent, nothings fixed by any stretch of the imagination. Yes it's nice to get the win & 3 points but we must carry it on.
  8. Ha ha ha what happened ha ha ha why do they play like a bag of shite one week then play like this another grateful for the 3 points mind ha ha ha
  9. They've just toyed with us in the first half I expect Liverpool to step up a gear or two in the 2nd half
  10. Ha ha ha he's fucking Cardew in disguise this clown ha ha ha
  11. Im expecting the biggest defeat of the season anything less will be a bonus.
  12. Aye we might as well have an early exit in this just to complete another load of bollocks season.
  13. Ha ha ha if that turns out to be true just ha ha ha
  14. Going to have a crack at that tomorrow cheers CT.
  15. At this stage in 2008/09 (relegation season) we had.... P 14 W3 D5 L6 GD -5 Pts 14 18th Position Currently we are... P 14 W3 D5 L6 GD -16 Pts 10 19th Position It's not looking very clever we have 6 games to go until the window reopens on 2nd January Liverpool (h) Spurs (a) Villa (h) Everton (h) West Brom (a) Arsenal (a) With nobody at the club willing to stand up & be counted the possibility of relegation has to be taken seriously. So what do you think ? I think we'll be down & long before the final game of the season unless there's some kind of miracle turn around. Based on what we've seen so far this season it's highly doubtful.
  16. They've done Man City 4-1 away from home & Southampton 6-1 away from home in the last 11 days I think it'll be a cricket score on Sunday
  17. Given United don’t win many games at the moment – their 19% win ratio for 2015 makes it the worst calendar year in the club’s long history
  18. Richard Keys As I was watching the latest abject performance from Newcastle - that 5-1 hammering at Palace - my mind wondered back to that infamous tv interview with Mike Ashley on the last day of last season. He told David Craig 'I won't leave Newcastle until we've won something'. If Ashley means what he said I don't see a future for the once proud Toon. Ashley and his acolytes are killing the club. It's dying. It's desperate. Newcastle is a wonderful football club. My earliest memories were watching them at Coventry. I was sitting in the West Stand as the late Terry Hibbert cracked in a wonder goal. They left with the points - we were left in the same kind of mess they're in now! They took 'one of our own', John Tudor, to form a front line partnership with the raging Super Mac so I took more than a passing interest in the club as I followed Tudor's progress. There was the Fairs Cup win - ignominy at Hereford - Keegan's cup final when Liverpool tore them apart - Shankly taunting Joe Harvey on Grandstand before the game - Keegan eventually signing for them - there was always something coming out of that part of the world that even the neutrals would find interesting. Of course Keegan gave us 'The Entertainers' when he went back to manage them. What a ride that was. Fantastic. The Second Coming was a disaster, but only because Ashley & Co were in charge by then. I remember flying home with Ashley and his hangers-on after one Saturday morning game at St James'. As we drove to the airport the conversation was all about Shearer. He wanted my thoughts on whether Shearer could manage the club. I told him it didn't matter what I thought, only what he thought. That seemed to please him. The conversation ended with him saying 'I suppose I'm going to have to give them Shearer at some point'. His 'go-fer' back then was a guy called Chris Mort. Almost as soon we'd landed at Luton Mort was on the phone. 'I'd appreciate it if you forgot what Mike said to you about Shearer. He didn't mean it'. Ok, no problem. But he did mean it, Shearer eventually succeeded Joe Kinnear's circus, was badly let down by Michael Owen, and had no time to stop the rot. Newcastle were relegated. A lot happened over the following summer and it's not my position to talk about it here. I'm sure Alan will tell his side of the story in his own good time, but as he and I spoke during that summer it was pretty evident from what Alan was saying that Ashley felt he'd delivered Shearer to the faithful - and that was the end of it. No more. He wanted him out of the club. Alan was too big a personality for Ashley to deal with. His popularity was always going to be an issue. Newcastle don't have the debt problem they once did, but other than clearing that - and now earning good money out of the club, Ashley's ownership has been a disaster, right up to the present day. At Palace at the weekend the Toon Army were signing 'we're s**t and we're sick of it'. These are good people. They follow their team no matter what. They complain about Ashley but still go. My advice? Don't go guys. Don't go anymore. It's short term pain for long term gain. I know it's likely to be tough, but don't go. It's the only way let let Ashley know he's not wanted. He's taking the mickey out of you - playing with your blind loyalty. Stay loyal to your team, but let him know enough is enough. My message to Mike Ashley is this - go. Go now while there's just enough life in the corpse for someone else to try and revive it. Get out of Toon. Now.
  19. http://ashleyout.com/articles/deja-vu/ Look son, this is the club who got taken to court by the legendary Kevin Keegan and proven guilty. Look daughter, this is the man who disrespected the greatest goalscorer in our history. Look kids, this was the cathedral on the hill where we all went to worship such legends as Sir Bobby, Keegan, Beardsley, Joe Harvey, Shearer and Wor Jackie. Its the centre of our community, the heartbeat of our city but now its covered in Red and Blue tat and has no soul.
  20. Stevie the club we've all grown up supporting is gone mate the thing that used to make the toon buzz on a Saturday night is a distant memory. The life & soul of the club has been drained there's not even a proper game of football played at SJP now. If there's even a slight chance that boycotts & protests may work then the supporters in particular match goers owe it to themselves & the club to give it a go if called upon.
  21. He'll be sat with the AO group telling them the best way to do things
  22. With Keegan advocating a boycott this should add some credence to it
