  1. Anyone recommend some good pubs to go in before hand, that allow away supporters in? Me and the missus are going down (she wanted to get her wedding shoes from London, made a deal to go when there was a match on) and will fancy a few beverages before the match but not sure where is the best to have a few beers?

     

    Cheers J

     

    i think the eight bells is the name of the place people were in last time. first pub out of putney bridge tube.

  2. Stevenage is a shit hole, I hate the place, used to know a lass from there, had both her sister and mum offer themselves, fucked up place full of fucked up people

     

    it's a shit version of Peterborough, even down to the shit walk to the stadium from the train station.

  3. This has all the hallmarks of NUISA. That Gilmour fella was being quoted in the press for years after it shut down.

     

    Honestly it doesn't, because INUSA (to my knowledge) never had 1500 paying members plus tens of thousands of email subscribers, 11'000 + people following it on various social network sites. It never had the level of infrastructure and local governmental support that the Trust has (including an MP on the board). it was, to be frank (no pun intended) one man and his son trying to do something when nobody else seemed bothered.

     

    Unfortunately due to it lacking all of the above INUSA was never in a position to do anything other than be a convenient mouthpiece for the press which, to be fair to Frank Gilmour, is as much down to the inherent laziness of certain journalists as it was to him. Once the press have your number its very difficult to dissuade them that you don't want to be bothered by them anymore. The Trust on the other hand is in a great position to do everything that INUSA couldn't. It just needs to start doing them or at the very least telling people what its doing. It's in no way dead, it just hasn't progressed at face value in any meaningful, explainable way over the past year...and that's the dissapointing thing.

     

    I'm not going to criticise or attempt to analyse what project the questions in the survey are ultimately leading towards. I'll look at the finished offering and see what I think. I'm just glad that they appear to be finally listening to concerns and are finally doing something to engage with the membership. In all honesty this is one of the least cynical looking surveys I've seen from an organisation. There are clear opportunities to note the strength of our beliefs on several of the things we've complained about and clear opportunities to show what we think they should and shouldn't be focussing on. It's an improvement in my view but it should only be the beginning of that improvement.

     

    Does the club recognise the Trust as being valid? and if not why after a year are they asking for renewals?

     

    What the fuck are you talking about now?

     

    They have no contact with the club, media or anyone anything to do with Newcastle United.

     

    I don't expect you to understand why this is relevant. But just take a look at their latest news letter;

     

    http://www.nust.org.uk/fan-mail-the-fsf-ne...h-december-2010

     

    Not relevant to Newcastle or Newcastle United. It could be for any club. It's no wonder they have achieved nothing in a year.

     

    but that is because that is the NUST forwarding on the Football Supporters Federation email: so it should be generic and catch all.

  4. ive actually had a second thought ive been thinking for a while i dont want barton to go i know i dont usally go on bartons side not after his angry temper moments but hes done really well in the championship and prem so far and if we off loaded him we would be screwed

     

    Fuck me. Have you ever used a punctuation mark? it will make your point, which is in there somewhere, understood by more people.

  5. I can't imagine what Pardew thinks he's walking into. Is he so clueless that he'll be humming "Reach for the stars" as he knots his tie, looking forward to his first match in charge, expecting people to be excited by his appointment? He'll be hated by the fans and the players, he's a lame duck appointment and doomed to failure. How long before Barton calls him a loser and a wanker and lamps him one in the dressing room?

    exactly. is he expecting to be applauded? supported?

     

    how do the players react to having a man like this as their manager? will pofessional pride be enough to keep them wanting to win and stay in the premiership or will there ba a large number of behind the scenes transfer requests in the next 6 weeks?

     

    unbelievable.

  6. There is an article on BBC about how the wonderful trio - ashley, llambias and pardew - met and became friends at some casino in London that llambias as managing.

     

    Strong credentials for pardew there.

  7. yawn%20big%20funny.jpg

     

    Again. Doesn't mean a great deal and has already happened a few times this season from what I recall. Getting a bit tedious tbh.

    Not to 1/2 it hasn't. I heard before we beat the mackems, Pardew had been offered the job, if that's the case or some other useless cockney wank like Kinnear am not gann back. We were shit yesterday, but we were missing three midfielders who change our game immeasurably, all yesterday showed was our squad is shit, and that's not Hughton's fault.

     

    that and the fact he has the smallest backroom staff in the premiership. give him some support, financially and with personnel.
