Hayden looks every inch a Championship player again, all the improvement he made under Rafa is gone with the wind. Not to single him out in particular, everyone has been rubbish today and the players look like they are barely aware of what a formation is, let alone which we're meant to be playing. It's OK though, our Geordie manager and crocked Geordie striker are all that us Geordies care about. EDIT: Oh do fuck off.

I'm sorry, I'm having trouble understanding you. Are you a Liverpool FC supporter? Liverpool are a pretty great side, aye. Class win yesterday, really showed they've lost none of their ruthlessness. Actually I watched a video analysis of Newcastle's chances of finishing above Liverpool. Here's the link if you're interested.

I don't think you'll be able to sing very well with Mike Ashley's cock down your throat. Might go a little more like "mmmmmm mmmm mmmm mm mm mmmmmm." Not quite as catchy.

Christ

That wouldn't make business sense, and as we all know Mike is a business genius and a football genius as well.

Another attempt from Fatso to rub it in our faces. "All right Keith, have a few bullshit rumours leaked that we're in talks with some progressive manager from the Continent. No, I don't have any fackin' idea who, just Google it, you caant. Drag it out long enough for them to start believing and then have Brucey unveiled. Priceless! I can't wait to see their norvern mankey faces!"

Pound foolish and penny foolish as well. Let the best manager since Robson go for free having given him nothing to spend on players - pay 4m for Steve Bruce (and might as well earmark his severance pay now for when he's sacked in March) and fund his rebuilding of a depleted squad bereft of quality or leadership. This is 100% to spite us. There is no way even Mike Ashley thinks this is good business sense. It is purely to get one back at us for singing nasty songs and loving Rafa so much.

We turned against Peter fucking Beardsley when he became an Ashley arselicker, why in the fuck did this moron think Shola, Carver and Kevin Nolan would be more highly venerated than an actual club legend? Shola is employed by the club now, so he's tainted, and the chuckle bros Carver and Nolan are failed managers in giz-a-job mode so they'll also mouth anything that they think will get them work (not to mention, they probably both correctly reckon that this is the only PL club fucked up enough to consider employing them.) They can all get to fuck. It is impossible to be loyal to NUFC and defend Ashley. Anyone who purports to do so is lying.

Exactly correct. Fatass has a proven track record for giving shit managers loads of money to blow and letting talented managers starve. As you say, when Pardew was on a purple patch and we finished 5th, it would've been the perfect time to invest heavily in the squad. Some of the pain might've been alleviated. There might've been a road back for Ashley. But instead, we cut our own throat to stop the nosebleed of Europa League football. Of course, Fat Sam and McClaren, easily the worst permanent managers we've had in Fatty's time, had fortunes (comparatively) thrown at them to flood the squad with dross. I fully expect us to sign up to 50m of players this summer now that Rafa has gone.. But it would've been no net spend again if, somehow, he'd signed the extension and stayed another year.

I'm offended. You only included Irish people in your list of potential terrorists. You need to be more inclusive in your racist stereotyping.

Stay and get fucked around by Ashley for another year on the same terms and maybe finish 11th vs. leave honourably at the end of your contract and take up a new job on triple the salary. Very difficult decision. I'd have done the same and so would you, you self-righteous gobshite.

12m? Should be at least 25, he's better than Donkeyvic.

Owner renowned for fucking popular managers over fucks popular manager over. Without any hyperbole, it is entirely possible that we will never have a better manager from this point on. Goodbye Rafa, thanks for everything. Can't wait to see what clown the FCB will dredge up to replace him. Roy Keane just left Forest, maybe he's up for a challenge?

Where's the racism there? The alleged buyer's name is Khaled.

This was also the source of the legendary "do me fuckin garden lad" post, if I remember rightly.
