Howay

Rumbled by Mala

Absolutely nowt in the current market that. Hopefully it’s true then.

Aye he was quality, obviously the shot stopping, command of the area, and composure were all impressive but his passing, as you mentioned, is what really stood out. It was brilliant to see the ball come to him and rather than be the start of an opposition attack due to a completely unaimed howk up the pitch he actually started attacks for us. I heard a rumour we have a fairly low buy out in his loan deal so hopefully that’s true if this debut was a true reflection of the blokes ability.

Aye we played as attacking as we could really and went for it, hence getting a pen shout, a dodgy offside ruling, and a goal. As you say though that’s about as humble as Jose could be so I’ll take it.

They fought like animals - I hope they take that as a compliment. The gods of football were on their side. It wasn't going to happen for us today. Newcastle gave what they have and what they don't have, that's a beautiful thing in football. "They fought for their point, a point is what they had in mind. We made a defensive mistake and when they are in front they had only one thing in mind and gave their lives to keep a clean sheet." not sure the football gods were on our side mind, had a stone wall pen ignored, a player went unpunished for going JCVD on Atsu and Ritchie was never offside.

When is this going to go tits up? Diame is playing like Fernandinho, Shelvey grafting like I’ve never seen before and this new keeper actually finding our lot when he kicks the ball.

No shock to see Harry Kane as having made one of the tackles they claim was punished softly. Wallace and Gromit looking cunt.

Aye, I think he was intended to be back up. Rafa probably then expected to get a properly priced player of a similar mould (like Slimani I guess) in the summer but ran up against the wall of incompetence that is Lee Charnley aka Ashley’s bullshit excuse for why he’s such a fucking tight cunt “oh I fort Lee would sort it ahht I was away on ‘oliday like I ahm every transfer window”.

Aye, he’s thick as fuck tbh so the best way for him to get any attention as a pundit is to slag us off since his playing history with us allows him to act like a subject expert. This is clear to me when you compare him to Jenas, who had a far worse relationship over the years with the fan base imo yet is measured, intelligent, and often insightful about NUFC, then Bellamy comes on and trots out “they expect to win the league” sort of shite.

Aye Diame has really improved in recent performances. I agree that CM suits him far more than the number 10 role, having Jamaal try and give you a kicking probably helps the motivation as well. I liked the look of Kenedy, he does seem to have a spark of creativity that the majority of our squad lack. Overall we deserved the win so it’s frustrating to miss out again due to poor finishing, as you mention hopefully Slimani can come in to the side soon and he can start putting away some of these chances.

Good to see if this one gets done. Fucking mental that it has taken this long to get a striker and that it’s only a loan. We’re going to be desperate again come summer if we stay up and Ashley will yet again be shocked at prices we are quoted despite this level of desperation for a striker.

Aye that’s it like, we may as well just be in the Championship as the horrible fat cunt isn’t even pretending to allow the team to compete in any way. The fans get to watch football either way, honestly we might get a bit more exciting footy if we went down as it’s this squads level. The main plus to being in this league is it gives us the best chance to be shot of the horrible pig but he’s made it clear he’s too fucking thick to even manage that. As I’ve said numerous times I hope the bloke ends up with fuck all, he’s just a horrible fucking cunt. These gambles are getting more and more daft, what’s the goal? to last until summer and then not want to buy again? It’s just fucking stupidity. If it wasn’t for Rafa we’d be rock bottom iyam and honestly it’d be a hell of an achievement for Benitez to keep this club up, again though we’re back to what’s the fucking point? We’re just in the league to be in the league at the moment, it’s not like we’re seeing a higher calibre of player by being in this division other than the ones our lot play against.

The man is just a cunt. It says a lot about how much of a cunt he is when at times you almost hope we just fucking go down so the cunt loses money, albeit in the grand scheme of things he’d still be loaded but watching him make a profit when he sells the club will always make it bitter sweet for me. I genuinely hope to hear about him going bankrupt one day.

I think Sandro was always up against it at Everton, the team had no real identity and looked fairly aimless at the start of the season and he only got about 8 games before Niasse scored a couple and was preferred to him. My main issue with him is he’s only 22 and is very inexperienced and I think we need experience in the side, he had a canny season with Malaga and I’d take him on loan tbf but that doesn’t say a lot when Joselu is plodding about. If we got Sandro and Schurrle in on loan I think that’d be a big boost to the strike force (mostly down to Schurrle obviously but I reckon Rafa would get a fair bit out of Sandro).

It was interesting that he was saying there have been significantly less fouls and yellow cards since it was brought in, as since players know they’re being watched more closely they aren’t taking as many risks. I think what they were all saying on there was right that the black and white decisions will be helped by it, ones that the official simply missed, but there are a lot of gray areas such as handballs etc where it’s never going to please everyone.

Agree with all of this. The bloke is just a complete fucking arsehole and until he fucks off from the club it’s almost impossible to get excited about NUFC, as we know for a fact he will never ever let the club kick on he’ll just do the absolute minimum possible to cling to the PL.

I didn’t say that tbf, I was more agreeing with the other parts of Strawb’s post as I can’t really speak on the atmosphere. Last match I was at was the Watford home match.

Its fucking brilliant. You know you’re shite when James Vaughn wants out. There was a thread the other day where they were all discussing how brilliant Coleman is, and one bloke mentioned that they’re two places lower compared to when he took over so they just kept bringing up that he’s got more points per game than Grayson

Really fucking hope they go down.

Spot on. Today was a frustrating one, our lot just couldn’t put their chances away. It’s positive that we created so many though. Imagine if Rafa had a PL level squad of players, we’d probably be safe already man what a fucking wanker Ashley is. Even if he’d just let Rafa get a PL level striker he could comfortably guide us away from the rabble below imo.

Aye I saw that in all, they were making a ton of paedo jokes before the Boro match then 24 hours later saying they look forward to him getting out in 2019 so they can sign him again. One even said Johnson got a mackem top for xmas and they said “that’ll make the mags gutted” they genuinely think fans of other clubs give a fuck who people support like they do. I’m definitely not bothered which team a scummy little paedo supports.

I don’t know if it’s him unraveling or if everyone around him is just sick to the back teeth of covering for him. Not that he wasn’t always fucking batshit but it seems it’s getting more absurd by the day. He’s just a complete joke.

Bergkamp-esque

Aye that Kenedy looks shite. He tried to back heel it in the first half at the side of their own box and gave it away immediately.

Aye I’ve heard the same, think Ashley comes back from holiday in a week. I know he obviously delegates transfers but he always seems to be away on holiday when the transfer window is open the fucking oaf.
