Howay

The players are literally refusing to do media obligations due to him being an unreasonable cunt over bonuses, and the manager is publicly announcing his frustration at not getting what was promised and that ugly fat wank is expecting anyone to believe his sob story? He is a right ugly bastard btw, what a fucking monster of a bloke. He looks like a wrinkly version of that little fat wanker off king of the hill.

I’ve little to no doubt Ashley is too thick to realize but selling Lascelles at this point would see the club lose more money than he’d bring in as relegation would pretty much be nailed on.

He’s a bellend tbh. No clue how people can enjoy watching him. Saying that the two YouTube bellends he’s refereeing a fight for (KSI and Logan Paul) are absolutely fucking painful and they have millions of subscribers.

Aye I think that’s pretty much the way it is, Charnley is no doubt a total tit of a man but as you say there’s no doubt he is also under strict orders from fat Mike to botch most the deals and give Rafa some shite reason for why it didn’t happen. Even if the Thiago Maia story isn’t true I think by and large that’s how our transfer policy works, they basically spend fucking ages trying to wear a team down. I know there’s been issues with other clubs calling our transfer methods shambolic in the past, which is likely harming future chances as well. Even when we get shot of this fucking tumour there’ll be long lasting effects, most noticeably the reputation damage he has wrecked from a transfer standpoint and also a marketing one (as in he’s made us a right tatty club).

I’m not going to praise a bloke for allowing Steve McClaren to have a net spend and then force Rafael Benitez into a situation where the club is going to make a net profit for 3 seasons. He only allowed that level of spending because he had throttled the clubs spending in the seasons leading up to that one, leaving a shambles of a squad. He then went on to keep McClaren in the job until such a point that staving off relegation was almost impossible simply to try and avoid having to pay up his contract. The blokes a fucking nob.

The club’s a total joke.

West Brom finishing bottom doesn’t mean Rondon is shit, Stoke went down as well and Liverpool bought Shaqiri. He’s a better PL player than Gayle, scoring isn’t the only thing he can do as he can lead a line and hold the ball up a bit, Gayle was basically incapable of both those things. Gayle was pretty much bullied by centre backs all season, Rondon won’t be pushed about as easily.

Impressive that she’s out there at 72 mind, can’t take that away from her.

I let myself get a little bit hopeful when the Staveley takeover craic was everywhere. I’m not going to get like that until we actually have a new owner, even if I saw pictures of Ashley and the new owners at the actual meeting signing ownership over I’ll wait until the fat lump has no legal ownership whatsoever before getting excited.

It won’t even happen when Benitez leaves. I’m not sure where I said protests do nothing, my point was that it’d need to be a proper one as in people stop buying tickets and stop frequenting his stores. I’m not having a go at people who go and continue to go, just that a complete boycott would be the only sort of protest he might have some response to. I think the spends you mention correlate to attempts at staving off relegations rather than a reaction to fans leaving a match at half time.

I’m not one of those people that thinks where he grew up means he’s not capable of being intelligent and analytical. The fact is this is a bloke who spent his career stubbing out cigars in youth players eyes, beating up 17 year olds at 2am in McDonalds, and resorting to childish insults against Ibrahimovic after getting bossed all game. He can fuck right off if he thinks some quotes mean people will think of him as some enlightened thinker.

The rumour I’ve seen is we’re after some 19 year old striker from Lyon, the article kept referring to him as a “sensation” after his impressive return of 3 goals from 22 games. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.express.co.uk/sport/football/997928/Newcastle-transfer-news-Myziane-Maolida-Toon-Lyon/amp

The hairy sex pest is trying to be controversial in order to try and stay relevant.

Aye his short term thinking and lack of noticing any blatant patterns is baffling to see in a bloke that’s become a billionaire. As you say he’d lucked into the perfect situation, a top manager who would comfortably keep the team in the PL, just give him a mediocre budget and a % of transfer sales and he’d happily work within those constraints. Instead, after one fucking season Ashley sees he kept the team up so the fucking mug has pulled the rug to try and keep a bit in the coffer now completely ignoring the fact this path ends in yet another relegation. What a complete fucking disaster this bloke has been for Newcastle United. The most baffling part of this entire thing is this lot desperately chased Steve McClaren and gave him more of a budget than any manager during Ashley’s tenure iirc, then Rafa comes along and essentially asks for the job, they barely give him two pennies to rub together and have spent more time this summer writing letters to palm him off to someone else than they have working on any transfer targets.

Aye unfortunately the sky money means fans have less impact. I think if there was a complete boycott of games, his trampy shops, the puma tat that fills NUFC direct (what a joke that is btw), he might take a bit of notice but he knows and we all know that won’t happen.

Blood Eagle tbh.

Aye this seasons a fucking waste of time now. For Rafa to be saying those things it’s clearly a mess. Once this seasons over we’ll be getting some football dinosaur, likely with something against foreigners, to replace Benitez and will then start the slump into relegation. Getting to the point where I might not bother watching, the fat cunt isn’t even attempting to disguise what he’s doing now.

He’s just completely taking the fucking piss at this point. I genuinely hope the stupid drunken fuck head ends up with nowt to his name one day. I agree with others that Rafa surely has a case for constructive dismissal, if Keegan did then Rafa does as he’s had far more promises than Keegan had iirc and now he’s being offered around. Really wish I could stop giving a toss about this club. It’s honestly just a complete waste of fucking time now with this helmet in charge.

That’s brilliant. I reckon the intern asked for an update as Lee rocked in from his lunch time 7 pint session and that was the response as he shoved past on his way to the bog.

How much are these cunts claiming we lost from the relegation? We pulled in £150M or so from TV rights last season, will have similar again at the end of this season and now they’re needing to hang onto some money from outgoing players? What fucking mug would believe these absolute chancers.

Aye but the start of the season was Pulis which even WBA fans have said didn’t suit Rondon. Then from December until April they had Pardew, which as we all know means a dearth of chances and there was a bit of an uptick in defenders scoring (I think they managed 12 goals in total under him). I’m not saying Rondon is brilliant but I think he’ll be better in the PL than Gayle was, especially with the amount of crossing our lot seem to do. I also think even if he doesn’t score loads he will mean the ball sticks up front more, and he will create chances for Perez or Muto. Whereas Gayle’s hold up play was non-existent.

Rondon played in a team that finished bottom. Rafa obviously sees Rondon as the type of striker he wants leading his line, he’s not the top option but he must want that type of player. He’ll help us make the ball stick a bit more up front, and since he’s about 3” taller than Gayle and more powerfully built he’s more likely to get on the end of the crosses Kenedy and Ritchie put in.

Aye, I wonder if it’s going to be the loan swap that was discussed or if we’re going to actually buy him. I’d probably prefer we just bought him, it’d surely be more of a confidence boost for him since he knows he has a release clause far lower than we just sold Mitro for. Last season we put a lot of crosses in but had no presence in the box, Rondon at 6’ 2” is far more of a physical presence than we have so that alone will likely be a plus.

I don’t know why he bothers whinging about decisions in games like that, his lot got fucking battered tbh. Hes right about saying he’d not pay to watch these teams, overall it’s been a waste of time even as far as friendlies go. Most of the teams have basically fielded their youth teams, especially Man City, which is okay for people like me that want to see what lads like Foden are actually like but it’s a bit wank if you’re wanting to go and see some star players. Obviously it’s up to the teams and their hands are tied anyway since the World Cup players are all off, but I do feel a bit sorry for the people who aren’t that massive into the sport and paid a decent wedge to essentially watch youth sides (Liverpool aside tbf). It is nice to see even the youth at Man Utd look as uninspired as the first team. Mourinho also already having a go at Valencia publicly, so maybe he might stop bullying Luke Shaw for a minute.

Saw that on Facebook and some lad questioned why we weren’t playing the starting 11 this close to the season. People immediately pointed out that that side is basically our starting 11, the poor sod was gutted when it dawned on him. If we don’t go out and sign a decent player for a canny sum of money after selling Mitro for that it’s a fucking joke. Saying that it is more likely that we’ll end up with Rondon in exchange for Gayle and that’s our lot.
