It’ll not be him, I doubt Ashley was best pleased when he took the Palace job. Even though Ashley pocketed a good amount of compensation he’s such a thin skinned tosser he probably took offense to it.

I agree with others that the targeting of shops is the way to go. If it got to the point that he had to close the Sports direct in Newcastle it would no doubt add a bit of pressure on him from the SD board who already seem a bit sick of him acting a total cunt. It’d not really hurt the company financially that much but it’s more embarrassment for them stemming from the fact Ashley is being a wanker for no real reason. I agree with PL that picketing and effectively shaming people who go isn’t the way to go, in any case as embarrassing as an empty stadium would be he’d probably just shrug it off.

Are you saying he’s not getting the hang of this football lark or that he’s not footballing genius? The worst part of all of this is Rafa will leave at the end of his contract, we’ll get one of the British managers club who are seeking a destroy and exit, Ashley will allow them to spend far more than Rafa got in 3 year in their first window, the pundits will use that against the fans as evidence he does spend for the next 5 year.

Aye, Hayden simply doesn’t want to be here either (not that he’s up to much if he was fully committed anyway), it’s just yet another problem with this squad that Rafa has to put up with. We all knew last season Rafa done a tremendous job, there was probably 1 bloke that then assumed it meant the squad was of the calibre to be 10th going forward and unfortunately that plum owns the club. It looks like, for the most part, the shit show that was last season has come to a bit of an end and more sides are looking half decent rather than basically 11 or 12 teams fighting the drop like last season.

3-1 to West Ham now, the key thing is despite looking fucking dreadful a lot of the time there are goals in this West Ham side. In contrast we don’t have many goals in our side, so Rafa can get the defense well set up and drilled but when you’re depending on Hayden and Diame to create then Joselu to finish a move there’s not much he can do. I know Rafa has Rondon, and we will see him start more but he still doesn’t have loads of goals in him tbh. Mike fucking Ashley eh. If Rafa is leaving at the end of this season regardless of what happens we may as well go down tbh.

What an utter bunch of scruffs. Seems to be dawning that they’re not in for some revolution. Who’d have thought a Scottish Championship manager that came to a League One side wasn’t going to be some world beater? Or that going behind nearly every match then needing late goals to win or draw wouldn’t be sustainable? Only took the SMB a few month to start realizing the answer to these puzzlers.

I love that there are people in this photo protesting him that are wearing new toon tops, presumably bought from the cunts shop. People need to pack in shopping there.

I love that the Mackems usage of Burton to try and wind us up has backfired so spectacularly.

Aye the stadiums fucked. Yet another reason why these pricks who defend Ashley can fuck off. They should just have a think at how awful the league would be if more clubs had owners like this, the stadiums would be a fucking clip, the talent in the league would take a nose dive etc. What a disaster he has been and still is for NUFC.

Shame after being the better side in the first half, we simply do not have enough quality. There were a few times Murphy got into good positions but you can see as soon as he gets to the ball the brakes are applied as he’s just not good enough to keep the ball under control and do something with it at pace. It’s not even worth discussing what a waste of space Joselu is, he simply shouldn’t be at a PL club. It’s a good thing the £25M+ is sat in the bank though eh, Keys, Gray, and all those other little slugs are right to praise Ashley as we take the field against Arsenal with a £7M strike force. Clark is poor, he can’t function without Lascelles being there tbh.

How would two players literally refusing to turn up because the club is so shit convince the owners they’ve taken on a top club?

He’s an odd bloke, he goes about consciously being a total cunt and then gets upset when people have a pop at him about it.

Bit harsh on Arsenal, it’ll likely be them or Spurs for the last top 4 spot and I don’t think there will be a massive amount in it especially now Lloris is out.

It’ll be a tactical battle, along the lines of Ryder v Hope or Charnley v a revolving door. They’ve got some real talent but their central midfield isn’t settled yet, and their central defenders seem to make some shite decisions which I think a bullying type of forward like Rondon can get something out of. If we can stifle their front line we stand a better chance of nicking a win than we have against the other top 4 chasing sides we have played against.

Burner phones, didn’t know Ashley was in the wire.

I for one love being updated on every single goal the bloke scores.

Aye that’s it like, just a shirt and jeans that actually fit would be a start ffs. It goes with what seems to be his personally based on his ownership of NUFC, a half arsed, cheap, ill fitting carpet bagger.

Was going to say they must be children’s size. What a fucking state he is mind, the money he has and he goes out dressed like that.

Aye, one defensive type of midfielder then over £200m worth of attackers and we’ll get slaughtered for playing 5 at the back and sitting deep. They have players on the bench that cost more than our entire team, yet fucking arseholes like Gray and his hairy sex pest mate will be having their weekly pop about how Ashley is spot on so they can try and stay relevant.

I agree tbh. Obviously fans would love to see their team win it (especially fans of sides like ours) but it’s clear as day no one takes it remotely seriously until maybe the Semi Final.

That’s spot on. Went and saw Hannibal Buress last night as he was at a small comedy club near me, he was class tbh and it’s made me want to start listening to the Hansome Rambler again as it sort of fell out my podcast rotation. Anyone still bother with it and is it still any good?

Class that Craig Hope had a pop at Ryder for basically being a puppet over the Ritchie and Lascelles thing, then he goes and writes that.

That’s class. I can’t wait to see the well measured and thought provoking response of “reet ootside noo ye soft bastard” from Ryder.

What a bunch of bastards.
