That explains the rather strange tasting burgers then.

Im not though, Im asking some simple pertinent questions. If you wanted and believed in protest so much then you would have joined at the very start and been there getting involved but by your own admission you didnt. Yes you went on a march and it was the likes of these marches that spurred the formation of the NUSC but then after that people went apathetic. Read back through this board and N-O and you'll see that a large number of fans were against hardcore protesting, yes they followed the pie boycott for a while but now you cant get moved at half time for the queues. The NUSC quickly found out it cannot have enough bite without building up its membership base first, doing the complete opposite of what the average fan on the street wanted was never going to achieve that. My argument to you though is that you say you wanted the same things as the NUSC did but didnt join up, didnt offer help, didnt give your time etc then when that dies down you have a go at it for not succeeding. You cant always leave these things to others, if you want to make a difference then get out there and do something. If you dont agree with the current stance of the NUSC then join up and make your voice heard otherwise nobody will ever know you think differently. I reiterate again though the statement from Malcolm was correctly reported but hideously placed under a misleading headline. He was asked about the fact the Journal logged 44% as being willing to forgive him, he answered correctly in that "yes, if he came back did some good stuff and sorted the shite out then some people will be willing to forgive". What was never said was "Mike come back and the NUSC say all Newcastle fans will forgive you", its highly unlikely that MA can ever do enough to turn around the damage thats already been done but I for one would welcome him trying to.

So I assume you are a member, joining up at the start when we were protesting and trying to organise flash mobs and protest banners? I imagine theres email after email in the NUSC inbox from you offering your services. That you too were cautioned for the heinous crime of handing out leaflets outside the ground. Or were you more willing to stand back and let others try and do that stuff, talking down their efforts at the time and then calling them for not managing it afterwards? If you want a say in whats done then join up, if you dont do that then you cant realistically slate it when it fails in those efforts can you? Just to reiterate the point again (and again and again). The white flag has not been raised however we all come to a point when we realise that realistically you cannot influence something this big in a short period of time. There is no buyer, its not like MA is refusing to sell to some Geordie billionaire thats going to pump his entire life into the club. Nobody wants it therefore in the short term we have to try and get the club back on a stable footing. Like JAWD says the time for protest is not now, its later. We will continue to harangue (sic?) MA, continue to point out the things he does wrong and continue to shout at him to do things better but for the time being thats the best we can hope for. Maybe if we had 20k members then we could arrange the kind of protests that will make a difference but currently we havent, until then we'll continue to plug away at these things, organising stuff such as the SBR day and members nights and building up the membership towards one that can influence stuff.

Been put back to 5pm on the 2nd Feb? When was this announced? naebody telt me like!!!!

7.... It was a breakfast interview

I do. It's a piece of piss to get money out of publications in the UK for defamation and other stuff of that ilk. If he has been stitched up then he'd be a fool not to take them to court and make a couple of grand out of them. Didn't the NOTW admit a while back that their 'interview' with him was a complete fabrication? *laughs*

you cant miss it, there'll be huge queues of people waiting to buy tickets to the next game cancel their Direct Debits

The editor of the sporting life said that on talksport, which is a bit different, and he was taking a guess, the same as any punter on here. Steve Bruce got it right, he said only if he gets a stupid ie 10 mill offer for Heskey would he consider selling Heskey in January,and aonly if he can find a decent replacement....and JFK said much the same at the weekend. I think he's ours till the summer, but after that who knows? Steve Bruce has a chairman/owner who supports his manager and understands football as an ex pro. World of difference between that and a fuckwit like Ashley has been so far. 110% correct

I wouldnt give you a bagel for it

get the fuck in!!!!! Class end to the game. 89th minute winner. I was going to go as well. Next round Blackburn isnt it? Aye. I was tempted to go, but pansied out and watched on Shitanta. They'll be dancing on the streets of Chester Le Street tonight!

That is quite funny actually. I would love to think it was anal Im trying to remember if that was one of ours? Ritchie? I know this was as a result of a LZ article > http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ers/4891282.stm

I am running a Thomson SpeedTouch 585 v7 router on o2 Broadband with one machine wired and (a maximum of) 3 wireless, after 2 months problem free last night it all went Pete Tong. Suddenly I lost my connection on a wireless PC and could not connect again, the refresh list of connections would be missing the o2 connection then Id refresh and it would appear. If I connected on average 1 in 4 or 5 attempts would connect, any failure would be followed by the loss of the router in the list. Sometimes when I did connect it would give me an IP error relating to more than one PC having the same IP address and then boot me off. I tried switching off (PC 4 times and router twice) all the time the wired PC was working fine. I tried the reset button on the router and following that got connected however when I was I realised that I was getting 0.3Mb speed on the wireless PC and 7.2Mb on wired. This however was livable for the hour or so I needed access. At the end of the night I switched everything off, all PCs, router etc and this morning I now cannot connect at all, sometimes it appears in the list but never allows me to connect (Ive tried 3 different wireless machines including my iphone but none can connect). All lights except the wireless one are green, wireless is amber. Im a little lost now as to what to do. Ive had to connect my PC by using the iPhone as a router which is not bastard ideal I can tell you!

head down town and grab the first nigerian person you can find then post him their head in a box, tit for tat mate tit for tat (you could post the tits if you want though its upto you).

That explains a lot

Arent you just shooting yourself in the foot here? Basically you're saying that 4 managers wanted the job, 3 good names and Joe Kinnear so Ashley picked Kinnear! Not exactly a glowing testament to the owner that. ahem, I dont see an answer to this, serous question though Baggio, you've bandied three names around as managers who wanted the job after Keegan as some kind of glowing testament of the Ashley regime yet we ended up with Kinnear. I am honestly interested to hear your views on that.

I'm wondering if it's more of a case of N'Zogbia/Martins & Owen/Jonas working tbh. are you wanting ketchup or brown sauce on your brown eye btw?

nudge nudge wink wink

Personally, I dont see him saying "I've made some mistakes" as a turning point, hes still spouting the shite about not being safe and hes not making any attempts to sort things out. To be fair I should amend that last sentence to say "hes not appearing to make any attempts.." He needs to start planning and moving forwards, there are no more moves for us at this stage, hes had an interview, lets see if he does anything following it.

You want to be careful there, people could read that as you saying hes starting to do the right thing because of something the NUSC did. He probably is and I gave credit where it was due when NUSC said it at the time. People don't have to like Ashley but for the sake of the club I think it's better that he does take an interest if he can't sell it. Exactly, for once me and you agree. I dont like Ashley, dont trust him and hope he leaves as soon as possible but while hes here I want him to do the right thing by this club, that doesnt mean I expect him to buy us Ronaldo, Pele and Beckham but it does mean sort out contracts, invest in the team and not sell those players that have a future at this club. Where I suspect we still differ is I dont believe he will do those things and as I said earlier in this thread, sending a text to Kinnear from Barbados does not to me, show any kind of interest. I hope to be eating my words come Feb 1.
