McFaul

He's still a cunt though.

Absolutely stunned by this from Pardew.... "We've got 13 games to go and once we get Tottenham out the way I think we have a strong side and we will finish strong I hope." Quite staggering comments from Pardew against a team we've lost at home to just four times in THIRTY YEARS.

You're ignoring the fact we sold our best player with no seriously viable plan to replace him, presumably because even if we end the season in relegation level form, we're still going to come 9th, as we're a dozen points above 10th. We are a sham. There's no plan. Well there is. Make money, and being absolutely battered off a shit side, who are not only our local rivals, but also are club and an area who without exaggerating exist purely to hate us, then people have a good fucking right to snap. This is what I think.... https://moderndaydoilum.wordpress.com/2014/02/03/what-is-the-point-of-newcastle-united/

Read an article today that suggests he was on 15k a week.

Without being pedantic there was no Gallowgate corporate end in 1991 though

I was in the Fountain Friday night, and The Marsden Inn later on Saturday night, live band on. One thing I will say, apart from my better half, the people in South Shields aren't as attractive as they are in Newcastle, mind I'd say the whole of South Tyneside is guilty of this too.

Well I can fulfill that role.

I would never say this to her like because she'd chin me, but I'd give them geordie passports like the Gurkhas get British ones, but not bonafide ones. Too many Sunderland fans there for me to feel utterly at ease, not even taking the piss, but....that is the only thing I don't like about it truthfully.

There's a place probably less than a mile from wor lasses which is shite like. "The Nook". The rest seems really nice I think, even the council estates are alright.

One of the best posters I've seen on this board. He just vanished two years ago, and no one even commented. Does anyone know him?

I was never in the middle from 30th August 2008, the scumbag.

I've often thought this kid is a Sunderland fan trying to create a sweeping obsession about Sunderland that just doesn't exist too. They get a mention when they play us that's it. We're pissed off because we were humiliated against inferiors. Defeats to Sunderland are like nose hairs, they're unsightly, don't get them very often, but largely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. We are their life.

I worked in Sunderland for years, there can't be many worse places in Western Europe. I'm nee snob, but the people are almost exclusively common as fuck. South Shields I find the people a lot more refined than geordies or mackems tbh, and Marsden is really nice. Sea front is beautiful as I say I honestly prefer it to Tynemouth and Whitley Bay.

Spent a lot of me life over the last 3 or 4 months in South Shields and Marsden. I have to say its really really nice. Better than wor coast any day. 7 Sunderland fans gave it all mouthy with me on Saturday night like in Shields town centre, they all to a man piped down, that's the only bad side to it really Sunderland fans everywhere. Lovely place.

I think I sometimes inappropriately can portray myself as the uber fan, but I'm GENUINELY considering fuck it off till cholesterol man leaves now. It's depressing. LeazesMag is having a field day with this, and maybe he deserves to.

Cheers for the feedback. I'm not depressed with life, it's going alright, I'm totally depressed with this club though. I know I sound a disgusting human being saying this, but if Ashley died in a horrific plane/helicopter/car crash. We'd get our club back again. The full thing is a wind up.

Newcastle's gangsters would've sorted this out 20 years ago.

When has he said that in the last three years?

When I was growing up as a bairn in the 80's we expected to lose many of the games we played. The biggest hiding I saw Newcastle get was a 0-4 trouncing off Everton on Boxing Day 1986. That stayed the biggest home hiding I saw us get till Man Utd beat us 2-6 in 2003. The thing is with those two defeats, Man Utd had van Nistelrooy, Giggs, Scholes, Beckham, Keane...all at their peak. Everton went on to be champions when they took the piss in 1986 with one of the greatest sides I've ever seen. Liverpool last season obviously is the biggest home defeat that anyone under the age of 100 has ever seen at home for us. However, and I don't want to go over the top, Saturday for me was worse than last season against them, and worse than against Liverpool too. I've seen us play Sunderland probably twenty times, I saw us lose 2-0 in the play offs to them, the two 2-1 games in 2000 and 2001, last seasons and now this season. The play off game was the most important obviously, but we were the better side, we didn't deserve to lose 2-0. The two 2-1 games, we were the better side. Last season Sunderland had 4 shots, three of them absolute screamers, again a game that felt like a bit of a freak. At the weekend though, I could see after 5 minutes what was going to happen. They were all over us and for the first time in my lifetime they absolutely deserved to pummel us. We were fucking shit! Now I'm not going to let the players get away with getting none of the abuse, they deserve it. Ashley however has outshone himself in the cunt stake and that takes some doing. Pardew moaned all season about the Europa League effecting our league form. That's fine, but in a large percentage of the games he was only playing 4 and 5 first teamers anyway! You could tell against Aston Villa the first game after the window closed (a window where we signed no one), that it was going to be a shit season in 12/13. Having said that we didn't lose anyone then and there was a deeply negative feeling that month which only got worse, and Pardew's excuses got worse. This time we've lost our best player, in fact without sounding biased one of the very best midfielders in the entire league this season. Fine. Cabaye wanted to leave. He left with Laurent Blanc coming out with the following, "Yohan stressed to me he would not have left Newcastle if they were in the Champions League because he loved the club." Even if we were spunking money, like Man City, there's no guarantees we'd get in the Champions League, but Everton and Tottenham over the last 3 or 4 seasons have shown you don't have to bankrupt yourself to float about 4th, 5th and 6th place. Which leaves the question for me. What is the point in our existence? I don't care what any fucker says, Newcastle United should be far far bigger than Everton with our vastly superior fanbase, and certainly being competitive with Tottenham every single season. What is the point in our existence? I'm 36 years of age and I absolutely adore the club the same as most people from Tyneside do. A League Cup or a FA Cup victory, would be the only trophy we've ever won in my lifetime, and I don't care about how snobby clubs like Chelsea are to these trophies, to win one of them would be absolutely brilliant for us, it would get that 45 year monkey off our back, and there's not one city in this country would appreciate it more. The guy who came to the fans meeting months ago, admitted the soul purpose of our club is to come top 10. He basically said the cups were an irrelevance. Well they can fuck off! I don't want to portray myself as the clubs best fan, I've hardly been away for 3 or 4 years, but I've missed no more than 10 home games since the 80s, and for the first time ever I'm seriously considering jacking it. I don't know what the point of Newcastle United is, other than something to clear the debt we owe a man who made £250m profits from his businesses last year. He bought the club to have fun. If by having fun he means take the piss out of 1m Newcastle fans in the UK, he's doing a magnificent job. Even his staunchest supporters, must be honest enough to admit, a proper contigency for Cabaye's departure should have been sorted. The man is a CUNT, and in my view anyone that claims to support Newcastle who denies it, is a cunt too. Anyway back to the game. Worst I've ever seen. The mackems battered us. They took the piss out of us like we did them for years. Shola should retire now with dignity, he was absolutely disgusting, but getting back to that Villa game last season, it was entirely the same approach. No signings, but this time losing our best player. That created a negative attitude around the city without losing anyone. I don't know where we go from here, we could win our next two games, and everything will be "fixed" in some peoples eyes. It won't though. It never will while Ashley owns us. Pardew has to toe the party line, but I think even he is getting fucked off with it. The amount of erms and ahs and no comments in that press conference was telling. We're 8th top of the best league in the world, so looking at it like that, things don't appear to be all that bad, but they are. The mackems are laughing their tits off at everything about our club, and so they should. Fair enough we're a far bigger club, but their supporters could be looking forward to two cup finals this year, a manager who has progressed the club no end, whereas the rest of us at Newcastle can look in the mirror and just genuinely wonder what the point of existence is. For all Ashley's faux pas in the last 7 years, we are far past the point of no return with him now.

The toon should've won that game 5-0 the neet. 22 shots away from home, that's not the broon ale talking neither its a fuckin fact. As for these mackems on here saying we're obsessed. It's like people from Wigan accusing Mancs of being obsessed by them. They know that though, but them suggesting we're obsessed gives them the sense of identity they desperately strive for. We don't care you mackem idiots, we expect to win, we're not nervous, if we don't win we're shocked, and so are you. That's the way it is and that's the way it'll always be. Geordies are not arrogant cunts about anything in life, other than anything to do with Sunderland.

Load of modern day 6th form crack pish.

Was waiting for that fatty! If you were my height by my calculations you'd be 20st 9lbs
