To be honest I thought other than Ben Arfa looking a bit fitter the team on the whole just looked like they were going through the motions, similar to the season we got relegated. If something drastic doesn't change the outcome will be the same as that season as well. Still, I find myself repeatedly saying the same thing, there's one fucking fat cancerous tumour at our club and dealing with symptoms isn't going to stop the overall disease.

Dog... shit

I'm not ashamed of being a Toon fan, I'm ashamed that Mike Ashley has wrecked the club to the extent that it's cringeworthy watching our team attempt to play football.

To be fair why should he? I want him gone as much as the next man but to be honest it should be Ashley sacking him not him resigning, the fat man makes the fuck-ups so he should be paying for it. Better still, Ashley fucks off elsewhere and whoever the new owner is brings in their own man, killing two birds with one stone.

That's alright then, I'm sure the next performance will be a whole lot better...

Kinnear's been scouting these guys, should be a vast improvement... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRDkX_Zv3mY

Ha! Should have been 5-0, what a cracker.

The guy in your avatar is how Ashley knows he can mistreat Geordies and treat them as idiots.

Again, I think you'd have to be mental if you think the level of opposition's strikers is going to make any difference this season - we'll get beaten by shite as much as class alike.

I fear you'd have to be mental to believe that'll make the slightest difference. The sooner people accept that the easier it gets to ignore this shit and wait for old Fatty to fuck off to Rangers.

Jesus, this place is getting as bad as N-O. As if this is anything but a predictable performance, there's fuck all different from the team playing like they did for the second half of last season. Pardew's lost the players, Mike Ashley's raping the club and Joe Kinnear's in for comedy effect. I can't see why anyone's bleating like it's a surprise in how we've played, the apparent attitude of the players or the general outcome of playing a professional side like Man City while we're in this sort of state. The worst bit would be if anyone actually thought there was valid excuses for it or that it'll all get better, like it's a blip or something. Just to reiterate, until Fat Mike heads for the exit and takes his clown show with him this is all you have to look forward to, week in, week out - welcome to the new season

Yeah, I see your point, though in comparison the team that got humped by Leyton Orient played in the Championship as opposed to the Prem and had thrashed pretty much every other team they'd played pre-season. We're currently a joke of a club with a piss-taking cunt for an owner, an un-needed seemingly retarded drunk for a DoF, a spineless one-season-wonder manager and a team full of players who can't be arsed (though to be fair to them they lack any real leadership from outside the squad), oh and a swath of supporters who appear apathetic to getting dry fucked in the towel holder by Mike Ashley and think that even though he continuously rapes their footballing souls he'll turn over a new leaf sooner or later. Mental. The only line of thought that I can think would make sense not to rock the boat would be the prospect of enticing a new owner in, though that's as close to a miracle as anyone's likely to see.

Come off it Fish, pre-season or not our results against far 'supposedly' inferior teams recently have been pap. It's not like we've played anyone decent, even with a meaningless game the players should want to look better than some wanky Sunday leaguers. I keep telling myself it'll get better come the start of the season but there's bugger all to suggest that's the case, quite the opposite really.

Not half as worrying as being 1-0 down after 45 minutes to a half arsed, jock pub team from the Scottish second division! Jeez Newcastle United really are shit. Regardless of whether it's a friendly these pre-season performances/results have been downright embarrassing.

Ah of course, and here come the know-it-all, holier than thou internet geeks. If only we'd had a few more weak-knee, hand-wringing apologists like you lefty clowns throughout this country's history we'd probably be speaking German now. Try not to hurt yourselves in your clamour to get to your keyboards to come up with yet another obviously well thought return quip. While you're all sitting in your knitting circles smoking pipes and debating the merits of how to effectively ask someone to please not mug you the rest of us will just watch it all go to shit so we don't upset anyone's feelings.

Why would he sell everything off when he can still have fun causing misery? There's always that chance that when he's tired of it he might want to sell up for what he can get and it's more likely to be worth the most as an asset in one piece. For anyone who thinks Mike Ashley isn't doing all these things just to fuck people off please give up a reasonable explanation as to why he's made all the god-awful decisions he has then because I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have got to be the businessman he is with the money he has by going down that route with every venture he's taken on, and he's really not stupid enough for it all to be a mistake on his part - which only leave it being done on purpose.

That's how I feel these days, I've just lost all motivation to show interest in the team. The only news that you see about the club is another piss-take by Mike Ashley on how he can fuck people off that little bit more - just not worth the stress and anxiety it causes any more. Until that fat cunt goes I'm just going to dwell on what we once were and what we may be again one day after he's gone.

Good god... how fucking soft do you want to be with criminals? They should be locked in stone cells with straw mattresses and a bucket, no other luxuries as well while we're at it. Prison's a supposed punishment for a reason, all this bollocks about human rights is shite, if they don't want to be treated like animals they shouldn't act like them.

Well, I beg to differ - to Mike Ashley £200m IS play money and while he's got his claws in to NUFC that's all we'll ever be. There's no way on this planet anyone could be as dim as to make the decisions he's made around running our club without there being a vindictive, malicious motive behind it - just too many coincidences. ... and now of course there's Mick Harford as the latest of his self-entertaining stunts. No point in getting het up about it, Ashley is wallowing in the misery and upset he's causing the people of Newcastle. Better to just ignore it all and turn your back until he gets bored and fucks off because there's no way anything anyone does will get rid of him any sooner.

Police brutality my arse, if the guy got hurt it's his own fault.

Naivety, it's no different than a rich guy lighting a cigar with a burning £50 note, when you consider how much the bloke has overall.

Because it's a plaything to him, in the grand scheme of things we've seen him dick around with his money before so it wouldn't surprise me if he was causing trouble for the sake of it just for his own amusement.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-23393852 ... boo fucking hoo. Of course now some fucking idiot will see fit to waste large amounts of tax payer's money investigating this (not to mention the bollocks the five suspended police officers will have to go through just to get back to work). So the perp lost a couple of teeth, big whoop - he fucking hacked some bloke's head off in broad daylight, it's not like what he did is in question. A complete waste of money and effort on someone who deserves no mercy.

I know it's a friendly... but c'mon, seriously?!

Happy Birthday Le Fistus
