What a fucking whopper Gayle is, saying that if we scored and nicked the win it would be “the steal of all time” has he not noticed Palace have been dreadful as well.

I’m not saying it was a sending off as he didn’t make contact with Kenedy but it seemed on the replay that Zaha at one point went to head butt him or at the least try and go head to head. Why the fuck do footballers do this somewhat regularly? There’s not a single fucking benefit and it nearly always results in a sending off. Its a a good job Palace are as blunt as us up top as they’re missing some sitters here.

Aye, what the fuck was Dubravka doing there? Muto faffing on in a dangerous area as well.

We’ve been fucking shite but Tony Gayle can do one, he’s basically had a pop at us for not “having a go” all game as if Palace have been some brilliant attacking side here. Both have been equally as hesitant and shite tbh.

Agree with that, Gayle doesn’t seem to have the confidence in himself to be a top flight player but he’s a better finisher than any of the current crop as seen by that nightmare of a kick by Joselu. I totally agree on Tony Gayle too, what a fucking cunt. He’s getting in a right state over Perez ‘diving’ before realizing that he did in fact get elbowed in the head but completely ignoring the diving from Palace.

True enough, we need a striker in January there’s nothing at all up front. I hope Muto comes on so we can see if he offers anything.

Both Perez and Joselu are so lightweight, they just get completely bullied by any centre half they come up against. I know Rondon didn’t have a particularly good half but at least he can hold the ball up and take contact, these two just get barged out the way.

Joselu must have some dodgy photos of Rafa, no idea how he keeps getting on otherwise.

I forget how much Palace dive until we play them. Busy cunts.

Agree with what RobinRobin said, Fernandez and Schar have had a decent amount of appearances between them. One of the key reasons is because Shelvey, ridiculously still one of the very few true creative players we have, has been injured and another being basically all of our games have been against top 6 sides. Let’s hoy all that out the window and blame Rafa eh? I’m not saying Rafa is above criticism but the players named aren’t much ahead of the ones that have started, other than Rondon who as Robin mentioned has been unfit and away on international duty for a decent amount of the games. If we had a fully fit Lascelles and Shelvey for all of the fixtures we’d likely have more points than we have now, we’d also have more points if the fat waste of space we have as an owner had allowed Rafa to get his first choices in the door rather than looking further down his list.

It’ll not be him, I doubt Ashley was best pleased when he took the Palace job. Even though Ashley pocketed a good amount of compensation he’s such a thin skinned tosser he probably took offense to it.

I agree with others that the targeting of shops is the way to go. If it got to the point that he had to close the Sports direct in Newcastle it would no doubt add a bit of pressure on him from the SD board who already seem a bit sick of him acting a total cunt. It’d not really hurt the company financially that much but it’s more embarrassment for them stemming from the fact Ashley is being a wanker for no real reason. I agree with PL that picketing and effectively shaming people who go isn’t the way to go, in any case as embarrassing as an empty stadium would be he’d probably just shrug it off.

Are you saying he’s not getting the hang of this football lark or that he’s not footballing genius? The worst part of all of this is Rafa will leave at the end of his contract, we’ll get one of the British managers club who are seeking a destroy and exit, Ashley will allow them to spend far more than Rafa got in 3 year in their first window, the pundits will use that against the fans as evidence he does spend for the next 5 year.

Aye, Hayden simply doesn’t want to be here either (not that he’s up to much if he was fully committed anyway), it’s just yet another problem with this squad that Rafa has to put up with. We all knew last season Rafa done a tremendous job, there was probably 1 bloke that then assumed it meant the squad was of the calibre to be 10th going forward and unfortunately that plum owns the club. It looks like, for the most part, the shit show that was last season has come to a bit of an end and more sides are looking half decent rather than basically 11 or 12 teams fighting the drop like last season.

3-1 to West Ham now, the key thing is despite looking fucking dreadful a lot of the time there are goals in this West Ham side. In contrast we don’t have many goals in our side, so Rafa can get the defense well set up and drilled but when you’re depending on Hayden and Diame to create then Joselu to finish a move there’s not much he can do. I know Rafa has Rondon, and we will see him start more but he still doesn’t have loads of goals in him tbh. Mike fucking Ashley eh. If Rafa is leaving at the end of this season regardless of what happens we may as well go down tbh.

What an utter bunch of scruffs. Seems to be dawning that they’re not in for some revolution. Who’d have thought a Scottish Championship manager that came to a League One side wasn’t going to be some world beater? Or that going behind nearly every match then needing late goals to win or draw wouldn’t be sustainable? Only took the SMB a few month to start realizing the answer to these puzzlers.

I love that there are people in this photo protesting him that are wearing new toon tops, presumably bought from the cunts shop. People need to pack in shopping there.

I love that the Mackems usage of Burton to try and wind us up has backfired so spectacularly.

Aye the stadiums fucked. Yet another reason why these pricks who defend Ashley can fuck off. They should just have a think at how awful the league would be if more clubs had owners like this, the stadiums would be a fucking clip, the talent in the league would take a nose dive etc. What a disaster he has been and still is for NUFC.

Shame after being the better side in the first half, we simply do not have enough quality. There were a few times Murphy got into good positions but you can see as soon as he gets to the ball the brakes are applied as he’s just not good enough to keep the ball under control and do something with it at pace. It’s not even worth discussing what a waste of space Joselu is, he simply shouldn’t be at a PL club. It’s a good thing the £25M+ is sat in the bank though eh, Keys, Gray, and all those other little slugs are right to praise Ashley as we take the field against Arsenal with a £7M strike force. Clark is poor, he can’t function without Lascelles being there tbh.

How would two players literally refusing to turn up because the club is so shit convince the owners they’ve taken on a top club?

He’s an odd bloke, he goes about consciously being a total cunt and then gets upset when people have a pop at him about it.

Bit harsh on Arsenal, it’ll likely be them or Spurs for the last top 4 spot and I don’t think there will be a massive amount in it especially now Lloris is out.

It’ll be a tactical battle, along the lines of Ryder v Hope or Charnley v a revolving door. They’ve got some real talent but their central midfield isn’t settled yet, and their central defenders seem to make some shite decisions which I think a bullying type of forward like Rondon can get something out of. If we can stifle their front line we stand a better chance of nicking a win than we have against the other top 4 chasing sides we have played against.
