Self-deprecating is what we do best and while it's heartbreaking to be faced with this and it quite possibly hasn't sunk in yet, we need to stay a bit grounded and rip the piss out of something. Whether it be ourselves, Phil Brown, our upcoming opposition, Ashley, Llambias, Mackems, whatever.

See if he retains that air of professionalism when he's getting his bollocks tickled at the NUSC supporter's meeting that's coming up. If he shows.

Joey Barton can piss off for all I care. How I laugh when I think of the memories he's provided us; the prison sentence, the McDonalds fiasco, dropkicking a Mackem, snapping Alonso. What a cunt.

I forgot to mention it there but I honestly don't think Ashley will appoint him again. I mean, he just can't be that fucking thick. It'll be either Shearer or Dowie IMO and I don't see anyone else that would take the job on

I've had a sleep since I got in and am approaching things with a clearer head. I still think it's a disaster for the club in more ways than it's a blessing but this should be a situation that forces restructuring that needed to be in place a long time ago. A period of stability, an attempt to clear out the deadwood and bring in some young, hungry players and a rogering charge back into the Premier League. If we go back up with the gravy train mentality and the frankly embarassing leadership, we'll be in the same position 3 seasons from now. Funnily enough, it might take us slipping down the Football League to become a bit more professional.

I sincerely hope we get Shearer next season, or at least Dowie because another chop and change or Kinnear could see next season be another disaster. The inevitable has happened but there's always a next season and it needs some stability and clever planning. Just a shame this is NUFC where its hard to find. I'm not looking forward to it though. Once we've had our first experience of a Plymouth hack-fest, we'll soon wish we were battling draws out of Portsmouth IMO.

That wasn't a team trying ffs.

Just ignore them. They're probably a fucking idiot anyway.

Seriously, if you can't take a bit of piss-taking when you're a Newcastle fan of all things, you want to man up. We've been a laughing stock for years and this is just the cherry on top. I've developed such a thick skin to the stupid bastards trying to wind me up that it doesn't even bother me.

Ashley wants to do everything in his power to keep Shearer on. Nobody is going to want the fucking thing anyway and if it's Kinnear again, I'll personally march down and box his turnip in.

Yet another example of our pathetic attempts at player recruitment - didn't really have anyone else who could play ther. Edgar is a centre half first and foremost, with bugger all experience, looked out of it and a class below for the whole match. Everytime he got the ball just wanted to get rid. I guess next season he'll potentially be one of our first team central defender (or at least 3rd choice). I'm not blaming Edgar for being inexperienced obviously. I just wonder how shit Ryan Taylor must be in training to not get on.

Gutless bastards, the lot of them. The most pathetic attempt at survival I've seen. Edgar was way too inexperienced for a game of this magnitude anarl.

Cromulent

I'll not cry. I'll just lash out violently.

Shitting myself but oddly optimistic at the same time. Can't see Hull winning but in the cold light of morning/alcohol, I can see us squeezing a draw.

rikko reading this thread for nigh-on 10 minutes now. Stop it, you dirty boy.

£100 million worth of improvements.

If there was ever a time for Smith to grab his first...

Just noticed Douggy B Never have I seen a man hold his head so high in such an ocean of shit.

Drinkwater?

Defending Spurs

Danny telling people to take things less seriously in one breath and comparing his plight to Jesus in the other. Bravo

You'd have thought someone frequenting Wetherspoons would know what an ITBox is.

Doesn't matter where but it'll be through my fingers.

It's just a shame we don't actually have a winger to exploit a possibly shakey Milner. Guti could probably run at him but that's about it.
