@Moog: Support the men in black and white who go out and play in front of you every other week. That part of the club still belongs to us no matter who the owner is or what division we play in.
It's a wretched situation but there's nothing any of us can do. Fat Mike won't budge until he's good and ready.
It's a nice thought but to be honest knowing that the team is handicapped before they even play, that the people running the club aren't actively pushing to win as much as possible and any money I put in to the club goes to a person I despise I just find everything about the whole experience as false, tainted and totally uninspiring. To think there is no light at the end of this very dark tunnel sickens me to my very core.

I've never had a more helpless feeling of despair and sadness towards my following of Newcastle United Football Club. The leeching parasite that is the Mike Ashley regime has no interest or intention of my club doing well on the football pitch, it is soley a yearly money-making gravy train that as long as we're in the Premiership the plan is to make us compete just enough to stay in the Premiership. League position being better or worse means very little overall, the same as winning cups as they would just mean having to spend money to compete at a higher level than is needed to just do enough to get the yearly tv money. Free advertising is a bonus for Ashley's other business. All in all the fans and anything they think or do means nothing what-so-ever and anyone thinking otherwise is only deluding themselves, the only power at the club is Mike Ashley. Even if fans chose not to go to the ground or boycott merchandise it'd mean bugger all because the TV money would still make it viable. Any profits from not buying staff playing or otherwise or in fact selling anyone decent that develops at the club disappear and the 'long term' interest free loans that could be paid off are held on to by Ashley as a final payoff should he ever decide to leave.
Mike Ashley makes money, that's his sole purpose in life and he does it by running companies that make him that money in the most profitable way possible - regardless of their effect on others. Personally I don't see how anyone will ever be able to remove him from the club and I can't see him ever leaving of his own accord while we're making him money. It's extremely saddening as a fan but the club I love has pretty much been taken away from me and I don't know what to do.

I rate DiCanio very highly. He's just at the wrong club at the wrong time. Knows the game inside out but has fucked up a bit by being too over critical of the players in public. He will manage a big Italian club one day...
Funny, I thought the same thing tbh. The mackem players are average at best and have the attitude that they are better than they are without being able to put in the graft they should. Di Canio's work ethic was never going to work with 'players' that aren't what I'd class as committed athletes but it might work alright on a continent with stricter ideals on what is expected of the squad. That said, banning the tommy sauce and the ice from the fizzy drinks was going a bit far, the cheesy chips and blue pop just wouldn't have been the same for them.
-
Jebus, how many threads are there on RTG about sacking Di Canio and bringing in a new manager?

4-0 win to us at the Stadium of Light...
"Don't care, Ashley hasn't fucked off yet, the fat cunt".
Incredible how quickly some fans can be placated after having the piss ripped out of them for extended periods, no a 4-0 win at Sunderland wouldn't make up for the long term shit continuously hurled at the fans by Fat Mike's reign. To be honest I get the feeling that there's quite a few Toon fans out there that are like battered wives that refuse to leave the bloke that's knocking them about - in that respect they deserve no sympathy when they get treated like shit. It's beyond being fickle as well, Ashley has repeatedly shown his long term lack of respect for the fans, history or soul of the club. The next time it all turns to crap (and there will always a next time while Ashley's at the helm) those fans who are distracted by the brief smoke screens a win provides can keep their gobs shut and take Mike Ashley's un-lubed dickings like the cowed idiots they are.
Of course I'd like to think we could turn a corner, Ashley might turn over a new leaf but I'm past that stage now. It's happened so many times since Ashley took over that any good result feels like a fluke or just tainted and there's always that overbearing shadow of not being able to relax and accept that maybe we've been wrong, maybe things are actually going to be okay because as soon as we've let our guard down in the past Mike Ashley has been waiting there to kick us in the bollocks with yes another piss take, un-fathomable decision or lack of funding/pocketing fees received from transfers and tv monies.

Pardew was good tactically today.Credit where its due
Hmm, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. If he can maintain a consistent run of 'getting it right' then I'll consider it may not be a fluke. As far as I'm concerned all a win does these days is paper over the cracks for another week, I'll not be happy until Mike Ashley fucks off, no matter the occasional result - anything that goes right currently is an aside and tainted with the fat cunt being associated with the club.

As it stands, five players out and two in - I don't see how this improves things on the playing side...
-
George sounds alright tbh
-
Why would we do any better than last season? Bearing in mind we have less players than we had last season and our form/performances seem no better than the second half of last season. I'll be surprised if we don't get relegated, with an outside hope of just outside the relegation places if we're lucky.
-
What's this about Man Utd making a late bid for Cabaye?
-
Glad the whole Bale thing's completed, hopefully that's the last we'll hear of the monkey-faced fuck for a while.
-
If you're going to hate every player who wants away when a bigger club comes calling you'll be hating quite a few people.
Phil's got a point though, it smacks of people settling for mediocrity when they're happy to let one of their best players go to another team and not create about it - plus it shows how very far we've fallen when the term 'bigger club' is bandied about so easily to pretty much anyone that comes in for one of our players.
Booing is shite but what's the alternative? Waving white hankies like the Spanish? Mind, all that aside, it's a pointless gesture either way because the only people that are bothered are the fans - nobody at the club gives a flying fuck what any of the paying public think, just as long as they keep paying and lining Fat Mike's pockets.

Dog-shit...

That were welded together and stuck on a wall, I thought they were taking the piss when I saw them doing that on the news.Road to nowhere

It's sad but it's a whole lot better for your mental health and general happiness if you can ignore what's going on at the club at the moment. When people talk to me about Newcastle Utd now I just laugh them off or show complete disinterest - you know it's the right thing when all you get back from other fans is sympathy. The one thing to look forward to is the day when Mike Ashley's regime comes to an end, anything else between now and then is just filling time. Don't get angry that someone's taken a loved hobby away from you or even a way of life, it'll eat you up when you could be doing something less painful. Just convince yourself you're taking a hiatus as a neutral for all other football, appreciating the overall game while ignoring what goes on at NUFC.

So how many years of breaking even in the transfer windows and pocketing tv money does Ashley have to be with us before he's got his 'loan' money back? At that point we could hope he'll draw a line under it and sell - unless of course he decides he likes having the extra cash year on year for no input...
-
So this is going to be the week when Mike Ashley can rightly say he is getting the hang of this football lark.
European ties against the likes of Benfica in April
A transfer / wage system that works
A squad that just keeps getting better
Great season ticket deals for fans
And a profit making football club
And all this before the the big bucks TV money rolls in.
Of course it hasn't been delivered without pain, but few revolutions are smooth.
We will rightly hear all sorts of praise for dynamic duo this week and once again our club will be heralded as the blue print for most clubs to follow.
So where now? What about the next few years? How can we as a club take advantage of this solid foundation and become a regular top four challenger?
Lol

the fat kid in the photo
No, I was asking if the chubby ginger kid was a clueless bullshitter
-
Be interesting to see if his stroppiness pays off for him. He can fuck right off as far as I'm concerned, I hope we're fining him to buggery
You and me both, I hate when players pull this shit and tbh I thought Cabaye was a decent lad until this. Just goes to show how selfish the cunts are.
-
Goalkeepers seem to rarely sell for as much as outfield players, ridiculous really. I'd sell Cabaye for £17m just to get shot of the wanker if he's acting the twat and refusing to play, I'm fed up with hearing about him tbh. Krul on the other hand, I really would be upset if we sold him, we don't have an instant replacement and I can't think of another keeper that would be worth bringing in of a similar level.
Still, this is what we get for being a wee selling club from the North East... thanks Mike.
-
He's a clueless bullshitter, it's to be expected
The chubby ginger kid?
-
BBC reporting it was Cabaye that refused to play today, not le Toon keeping him wrapped up and protected for a transfer
And so it starts with the classic French stroppiness... with as many frogs onboard as we have it had to happen sooner or later. What a great example being set and a complete lack of respect.

Looks like another bunch of tossers want a yes man...
Maybe they'd do a swap on managers, Holloway would be a right laugh in charge.
