Howay

Next draw is Tuesday. Ryder will be first with the news.

The lottery over here is up to $1.6B now. I’ll give it a go lads, if I win I’ll buy the toon off that fat cunt.

At least there’s some good news the day.

Spot on. We’re a tin pot yo-yo club now. Any fan of football that says anything positive or in defense of Ashley is either on the wind up or completely demented. You hit the nail on the head with the PR stuff too. What’s the point? He’s going to keep acting a cunt so why make any attempt to disguise it? He should just fucking crack on ruining everything that he touches like a fat, ugly, shabby, opposite version of Midas. One day when the club is free of him, I expect when we are in the lower leagues and he lowers his £10B price tag (or whatever ridiculous number he would actually accept as we all know no matter the bid the price would just be raised) I’ll still always hope nothing but misfortune befalls him, I will avoid any store he owns even a small portion of like the plague and hope to one day read that he’s resorted to prostitution in public bogs after he ended up penniless.

I don’t think this is a knee jerk to a poor result at home to a weak side but I feel like Ashley has finally pushed firmly down on the pillow and suffocated this club this season after a decade of holding it just above the club’s nose. The club has been utterly destroyed, we were a great football club, not necessarily on the pitch or in terms of trophies but we were a proper football club and there was a great connection between club and fan base even in the times we struggled which imo is rare in the modern game. Football is the highlight of many people’s weeks, I’m not ashamed to admit it can often be the highlight of mine. He’s ripped that from us, I can no longer say it can ever be that to me we’re tragic, utterly tragic. For 10 years we’ve depended on some rough diamond we picked up for cheap turning into a player, then when they do we’ve essentially depended on them to carry the whole team as opposed to building anything around them. I don’t even enjoy watching us anymore, watching players as devoid of any talent such as Joselu plod around the pitch just isn’t football. There’s no passion surrounding the club, no buzz, no excitement, and there hasn’t been since the first year he bought us, before he decided to drive the club into its first calamities by attempting to disgrace club legends. I used to love watching football, but honestly my whole passion for it has subsided. I don’t even bother watching Champions League games or keeping track of most scores. I quite regularly have no idea of the placing of other PL sides, as what’s the point? We’re going to be struggling to keep our heads above water like the little, irrelevant, tin pot club we have become. My whole feeling was summed up this week, I was listening to a podcast and when they were discussing Man Utds comeback win against us one of the pundits said “yeah but I mean it was only Newcastle” it wasn’t an attempted dig, it was just the truth and I took no offense or exception to it, the bloke was spot on. That’s exactly what we are, a club that every team in the league will see as a winnable game. If you told me all this 10 years ago I’d feel sick to my stomach but now I just don’t care, he’s sucked any soul or passion out of Newcastle United Football Club. As Alex said in another thread, what is this all for? What on Earth is the purpose? If it was money he could quite easily make far more elsewhere, if it was advertising he could have spent all he’s invested on far higher profile advertising. I think overall it’s been negative to his company, clearly his image, and obviously the football club. It’ll be a shame to see Rafa Benitez go, his reign has once and for all proven Ashley will never care about the club, if ever he was going to invest it would be when he had a world class manager at the helm. Instead yet another legend of football has been embarrassed, degraded, and pushed out in an insulting and disgraceful way. That’s Newcastle United. To long didnt read: Fuck this fat cunt.

Think that game said a lot. It was easy to write off the poor start with a load of difficult games, but we had 2 weeks to prepare for a home fixture against one of the weaker sides in the league and honestly despite having ‘control’ I can’t say we were hard done by losing that. Imo it’s irrelevant if we buy in January, it’d just be a late attempt to get again bandage over the wounds. In any case he won’t allow Rafa to spend enough on any single player to bring in a quality talent, £10M players aren’t needed now we need to bring actual talent in and in the current market that’s generally in excess of £20M (I know you can get bargains but we’re over a barrel at this point and can’t afford to gamble).

Perez completely underhits the pass there.

We have no movement at all off the ball.

Fuck off man Joselu. What a total waste of time.

It’s just depressing to see Rafa’s tactics control a game like this but our severe lack of quality prevents us getting anything. I’m about at the point where it doesn’t really make a difference though. Rafa isn’t staying either way now so we may as well go down.

Why has Ashley suddenly decided to start going to every game? Tbf the press will probably now start making out he’s a class owner as he attends.

That was a corner tbh.

Perez is a million miles behind the pace of this game. Should sub him off and bring Murphy on, then switch Ritchie inside.

Slimani part 2 tbh. We know how to pick them.

Aye, I think that’s the most worrying part. We are playing well at home against a shite side and still don’t really look up to much.

It’s all Kenedy and Shelvey really, if we score it’ll come from one of them. The front two are offering nothing at all.

Clear handball there in midfield. Has the referee just stopped watching?

We’re proper shite.

Aye stretchered right off out the corner exit. Fingers crossed it was just a concussion and no further damage to the skull.

I live in the USA mate, every match is either on tv or streamed on NBC. Can’t help get dodgy ones unfortunately.

This looks fucking nasty whats with this half arsed medical staff?

I hate that any contact on a goalkeeper is seen as a foul now, fucking pathetic the commentators whinging on there when all Perez did was stand in place.

Aye that’s a big one they claim. I think the ‘connection’ started after we burst Feyenoord in the CL.

ffs
