Newcastle's big signings this next season are freebies... oh hell yeah, we're serious about the Prem

How does one loan one's self money?! Surely he owns the club, the money he's put in is payment of running costs, like it costs to keep a car maintained and running?

Club up for sale 5 minutes after the final whistle of the season and what a surprise, no summer signings apart from any half arsed freebies going...

I don't believe, not our Nobby lad. I bet the tart's a mackem infiltrator...

Frank Arneson is/was a director of football I think

Although I dislike the dog-wanking twat he does have a point. Still, I think with some of the current support and Ashley still in charge of the club we should probably take every little bit of possible celebration because it's not likely to happen very much any time soon.

After that performance I suspect it'll be a few more than just the first...

"One up the bum, no harm done"... allegedly

Happy St George's Day, I think every Englishman should stop today and listen to this:

TOON TOON! BLACK AND WHITE CHAMPIONS!!! All credit to Plymouth for being so gracious in defeat, hope they're back up next season.

We never do anything the easy way, I expect the worst.

I think the downfall isn't so much of being within the forums as the fans in general. Since Ashley fucked things up people are reluctant to celebrate much and see things and achievements not as a means of us being on the up but more that we're clawing our way back to where we were before things were messed up. There's an overall apathy about things because people don't want anything to do with something tainted by Ashley and his scumbag cronies, doom-mongers or not it's reasonable to expect people to be uninterested in a club 'going through the motons' of being a 'mediocre' version of it's previous self. Of course there are those who are a bit younger perhaps who don't realise the actual size and power that should be this club and have never known anything properly other than us being in the shit (from Souness onwards I should think). Personally I find myself feeling agrieved that we're not up there in the Prem challenging for Europe season in, season out - which incidentally was lost to us before Ashley came along, however the fat man has done nothing other than compact the problems further. Yes we've managed to get rid of some of the deadwood, still Ashley should know he can't take us to the next level now and get out after righting his wrong of getting us relegated - by staying all he'll do is drag out our obscurity in the lower half of the Prem at best. The Ashley era needs writing of a big mistake, a millionaire wannabe football club owner who should never have got anywhere near the sport. Until we get an owner who's capable of some real financial clout we're going to wallow amongst the nothing teams like the Hulls, Wigans, Birminghams, etc.

Back to the good old days

You're not kidding, every other post seems to be about some Ashley bum-loving.

I could understand it if they'd beaten them 5-0 or something but 2-1's nowt special

The best post in this thread.

Blatantly a weather balloon

I remember the sticker album for the Mexican world cup more, the little pepper chap with the sombrero on a foil sticker in particular. Happy days none-the-less

+ 1 Bloody jokers, the pair of you.

Really? I was expecting a top four finish and a cup minimum because we are a massive club and have the best fans and that. Yeah, we're uber and have that fantastic owner Mike Ashley to bring us in to the new age.

Mike Ashley, helping Newcastle United live the dream

The mask was out again I think, sounded like it on the radio.

No, no Enrique, he's the only change from monday night.
