At the end of the day without being too blunt about it. Since Ashley's been in charge some of you have spent hundreds if not thousands ( if your signed up to the ST deal ) of pounds at the club and now know by their own admission you will never have your FA Cup or League Cup day out at Wembley a European trophy final night or see the Premiership trophy presented at St James Park. All there is to really look forward to is a mid table finish in the premiership to enable the big tv money. I feel awful typing this but it is the bottom line under Ashley.

Not sure if this helps but Nintendo stopped production of the wii console last week.

You missed my point the protests wouldn't be in regard of a new buyer but about Ashley looking after the place properly while he's here and respecting the fans who pay him good money to see their team at their ground. Not running it like a cheap market stall down the Quayside.

Give environmental health a ring see what they suggest

It's not just the fans that he has disregard for is it? It's the whole city and it's footballing heritage. The way he treated Keegan Hughton Shearer etc the brilliant DOF's Wise & Kinnear the renaming the ground the lack of investment the lack of ambition and it's not just about a rich oil sheik seeing a few football fans protesting. It's about people getting off there arses and saying enoughs enough this is our city & our club we expect you to respect the club and the people while your here.

We all know he's a gambler, at the minute its paying off were mid table so that's a box ticked we're out of the league cup that's another box ticked. I wonder if Ashley's thinking if we can get an early exit out of the F.A. Cup in January and we're still mid table he won't even bother with transfers at least incoming ones. Would that be a gamble too far even for him like all gamblers his luck's got to run out at sometime but at what price?

No definitely not by maximum exposure I mean by these televised games that are shown not only in this country but to worldwide audiences via ppv and dodgy streams via the Internet. The things that have happened at this club since Ashley bought the place should be unacceptable, never once have it said don't support the team or the club. The team unfortunately will not be consistent because it's not big enough or strong enough, we've had a run of luck so far in regards to injuries and suspension I can't help thinking should either or both these situations kick in and we're still mid table there will be no new faces bought in We've already been told by Pardew that Ashley won't be spending any more of his money so it's either the tv money or the sale of players we're the money will have to come from to strengthen the squad. I mean if your happy with this regime that's fair enough all I'm saying is there IS a way to maximize your show of discontent.

But nothing can ever change at the club while it is accepted. He's proved time and time again that he'll do whatever he wants whenever he wants. The boat is getting ready to sail in a few more games (tv coverage) if your not happy with the regime that has to be the time to show your discontent towards Ashley and his hangers on. Not towards the team or the club there'll probably never be a better time to get maximum exposure against this lot. Just as an aside who is it we play on Sunday oh aye its his team fucking Spurs.

Pardew = Pitiful

There's 3 choices given these next few games are televised 1.) Go and let everyone know how you feel shouting,singing,bedsheets whatever it takes. 2.) Don't bother going and show an empty ground for the tv camera's. Either of those 2 choice's Ashley won't like. 3.) Just keep going and shut up moaning when Ashley gives it to you up the arse because he loves you.

Next few games on the tv Chelsea Spurs West Brom Swansea A chance to show maximum discontent at the regime support the team support the club DO NOT SUPPORT ASHLEY.

Are there any more of these protest marches planned ? because I would imagine any future marches will now get maximum coverage by the Journal & Chronicle.

Never mind that's one less cup we can't win that's another box ticked for the regime

He'll be able to peddle that excuse after the Chelsea &Spurs games as well "Trust me"

Ashley's response will be "you can fuck off with that shit"

Fuck Off Pardew we are 2 months into a season they are professional athletes fatigue my arse pitiful excuse

It's pretty evident we need a proper centre forward to many games now we're crosses are going in and we have nobody to get on the end of them. As for Cisse I think it would suit his game better playing just behind a centre forward.

Excellent piece there by Caulkin

Might as well go for a treble put another £2 on Spurs the following week.

Tacky as it is it might be time for the bed sheet brigade to come out to play seeing as these next few games are televised. Don't boycott the games go and let them know how you feel shout & sing loud & proud let the world know what's going on here. Remember Ashley didn't like it the last time support the team support the club but DONT support Ashley.

0-4 to City Toon out the cup fans totally pissed off thank you & goodnight love Mike & the lads

Mike Ashley = Doesn't give a fuck JFK = Couldn't give a fuck Alan Pardew = I'm not sure if I give a fuck The 3 Fucking stooges it's pitiful

Tbf if we keep turning in performances like this we won't be far behind them

Optimism out the window after today's fiasco we were utter dogshit no pride no passion no spirit. At the end of the day they were bottom with 1 point we should have been at them from the start instead every time we had the ball we shit ourselves we seemed scared to keep a hold of it. The next couple of weeks could have looked so much better with a win today, instead we have ... Man City (h) league cup Chelsea. (h) Spurs (a) Can't see us getting anything from these 3 games with could leave us out of the league cup and very close to if not down in the relegation zone.

2-0 Newcastle I expect it to be more than a typical derby with both teams desperate for a win I can see it getting very heated.
