@Howay @Ayatollah Hermione both spot on. caulkin's talking bollocks. never has a club deserved to be relegated more. hope we do a swansea and I get back to supporting a real, phoenix nufc.

I paid the best part of £700 for a kayak on friday afternoon and spent a few hours paddling round talybont reservoir in the brecon beacons yesterday afternoon. fair to say I made the right choice too, well apart from the bit where I got out the water to listen to that shite on radio newcastle.

nufc.com reporting the attendance as 44,000 yesterday, (oddly the bbc, sky sports, nufc.co.uk not giving one at all) only 2 home league games in and we're already nearing the point where lee and brucey can claim they're gonna reward the people of newcastle with 10,000 free tickets.

mikey's earmarked our transfer warchest for his future son in law.... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58340082

chop the first hand off mate.

I'd imagine there's a reasonable chance the big, big, huge 6 are currently instructing masters that project big picture is going ahead and they'll be using their superior voting rights to ensure arsenal are exempt from relegation.

irritates the fuck out of me how many times he name drops 'the premier league' during interviews. either on a bonus from masters and his mates or more likely some kind of pathetic and compulsive need to affirm where he's working. grotesque cunt.

bruce wouldn't recognise the truth if it walked up to him smacked him in the face with a shovel. and by the looks of him, the truth has attempted it numerous times.

@Kitman @RobinRobin here you go, although quite why you'd want read it is a mystery! think the bbc had hid it away to spare the wider football community. more interesting is to click on the comments section, second one down is from a leeds supporter, quite why he can see it but not 30,000 of our own is again a mystery, except a bigger one...... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58239479

I've spoken to quite a few who have, although I'd concede I've not went out me to conduct a straw poll on the actual numbers! I was basing an opinion more on the many reports of people who'd took part in relatively insipid protests like the 11th minute walk in for the west ham game less than 3 years ago or handing out leaflets outside the ground. in both cases having been given dogs abuse for doing so. anyway, whatever the numbers are in each camp/stance our support is indisputably fractured to fucking buggery and has been unable to conduct a collective stand against a man who's clearly a vindictive parasite and has been for 14 years very sad.

well spotted. precisely. (with the emphasis on 'we')

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by hung up? I think our support is fractured, possibly to the point of it being beyond repair, but I hope not. we've got thousands who probably share my views and who've walked away. we've got thousands who probably share my views but remain. we've got thousands who probably think mike ashley is doing a good job and saved us from financial oblivion. we've got thousands who've jumped on the opportunity for a free ticket to provide a backdrop for keith bishop's crisis management pr exercise. we've got thousands who tolerate steve bruce. we're all co-exsisting but it's not particularly harmonious or even healthy is it? I feel angry, bitter, resentful but mostly saddened that ashley has managed to achieve this. does that mean hung up? I've no love for leeds united but I quite enjoyed reading this article on the bbc the other day... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58294478 as it stands we've had 14 years of ashley's football purgatory with no real sign it's about to end any time soon and if I held my hand on my heart I'd rather we replicated leeds and ashley lose tens of millions on his version of nufc then profit by even by more by selling to the saudis. it's what he deserves. we'd bounce back as leeds have and maybe then like them our support would be united and have some hope? it's fucking tragic.

in fairness to michael martin he's wrote some cracking articles on the state of ashley's abomination of nufc during the last 14 years. sadly, at least in my opinion, he's then completely invalidated the time and effort he's put in to doing so by handing over his money to him for a season ticket. still, at least it's better than this drivel from one of his co-writers.... https://true-faith.co.uk/steve-bruces-position-at-newcastle-united-yes-man-good-or-bad/

bit of sunday morning campervan maintenance, pissing the neighbours off with poly styrene's sheetmetal drilling voice! one of the all time classic punk albums, love it!

apparently not a word of dissent chanted from the away end yesterday. no brucey giz a wave either though. something akin to the great revolt of 1381 for our passive support.

I think perhaps essembee used only the wrong word in 'success' 'acceptable' would be more appropriate judging by the amount of folk who seem happy enough to facilitate ashley running the club like a branch of woolworths in its death throes.

to be fair to UM I don't think he's overly fussed about how good/shite the players are or how good/shite the manager is. all that's important is that he gets to sit in a run down stadium and hand over some money to ashley once a fortnight.

ah well. cheltenham got beat, gutted.

bottom 3. oh dear.

did you listen to the cunt on the phone in the other night? reckons he's happy with the strikers we've got in reserve should wilson be injured. that'll be 1 in 7 gayle and 1 in 10 joelinton. he's fucking insane.

drive about with a husqvarna 136 and a machete on the rear parcel shelf. it's amazing how respective people are of your driving skills.

do you reckon if on 13.09.08 v hull city just after ashley, wise, jiminez llambias had shit all over keegan the ground had been empty instead of a few hundred short of capacity we would've endured 14 years of this repulsive parasite? because I don't. he knew from that moment onwards he could fuck over the support with impunity and has done with relish. and it's fucking tragic.

I know shit loads of newcastle supporters who've stopped going. lads who were ever present home/away/europe and with arguably an over sense of loyalty and tribalism towards the club and city. they walked away out of principle to being fucked over by vindictive cunt.. one things for certain should they return, you won't be standing on barrack road calling them gutless cunts, you fucking pathetic fat mess.

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.

not the bothered about the match, might listen on the radio. hugely disappointed though to be missing out on all the fun at the labour club.
