a hugely irrelevant thread this!
our inability to win anything of any note from 1969 to september 2008 could probably be described as something of a footballing anomaly for a club of newcastle's stature.
we had opportunities to break this duck, a couple of times in the 70s and obviously more recently in the keegan and robson eras, fucking hell, even the hated souness progressed as far as a quarter and a semi final in the same season. sadly on most occasions our players did a remarkable act of imitating rabbits caught in cars headlights for the big occasion!
that all changed in a match against hull when a ground which should've been empty sang nasty songs about mike ashley. so began his vindictive hatred of us.
the fat cunt doesn't want us to win a trophy, he was probably pissed off we didn't finish second in each of the championship seasons. us having any kind of reason to be happy will bring the cunt out in some kind of fireplace puking rage.
in fact, at the risk of putting meself up there with the man on the moon and two towers conspiracies, i'm utterly convinced pardew was under instructions not to win derby games!
forget this one lads, it's not going to happen. if not tonight, then certainly in the very near future, our exit is predetermined.
