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.

I like this one

wot a shit thread are you a yank are you a dick no. You must be a yank then, you have no sense of humour. Or a mackem scrote.

That's what I'm talking about.

In the summer? That's good going like. Aye, summer 2011 Err yeah, that's what I meant, I was meaning the beginning of the end

Relegation back to the Championship

Wasn't Krull that film from the 80s?

CT man, your threads are getting worse by the day

Stephen Carr's brother in front of him?

3-2 against Peterborough, ohhh how we'll need to strengthen for the Prem...

Ashley may not have said much but his puppet Llambias has said more than enough for him. And this shite about him 'funding' the club, he hasn't had any choice if he wants to get any of his original investment back. Pish article.

No way would O'Neill take a job like Man Utd, the bloke's a natural born bottler when it comes to the big jobs out there.

Agreed, I'll be really disappointed if we don't win the league - promotion is all well and good but it's kind of embarrassing if we're not going up as better than the rest of the smaller teams in the Championship.
