Howay

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.

Funny time to bring all that up when Pickford is England number one and allegedly being chased by Chelsea, and Mbemba just signed for the Portuguese champions.

Did we ever decide if Ashley has gotten the hang of this footy lark?

Schar and Muto both seem canny enough players, Kenedy and Dubravka we know are good, and Ki is fine as back up. It’s fucking gutting to see Benitez toiling like this though, imagine what we’d be getting in if we had a budget. He’s basically funded that lot by flogging our utterly shite 5th string keeper and our 4th choice CB ffs.

Totally forgot about that craic he had around winning cups being bad for the club, what a complete cunt .

I’m becoming more and more convinced our dickhead owner and thumbman think it’s about 1995 going off the transfer fees.

Even if there’s any truth in that £100M over three years isn’t the “war chest” they’re making it out to be. We’d make well over 3 times that just in TV rights in the same time period if we stayed in the PL.

We’re going to sell Mitrovic and give Gayle away to get Rondon in. What a fucking bottom feeder of a club we are under this utter bell end.

Agreed, iirc if it’s true it’s yet another example of Mike Ashley being a lying cunt as I’m fairly sure at one point he said we’d only sell players for the full fee, no installments, and buy players that way too. What a complete waste of time this club is with this whopper as owner. Fucking Leicester just spent £12.5M on what could be a back up keeper (I know they may be selling Schmeichal but at the moment they’re claiming Ward is competition) and we have a net profit of about £6M or so when we desperately need to improve a workmanlike squad.

If that was the reason then surely he could just hoy in a clause to any deal that he gets 10 year of free billboard advertising to any deal if he was to sell. That way he’d get his shite shop advertised without the hassle. I honestly think at this point he’s just being a monumental cunt tbh. He’s got skin as thin as Trump’s when it comes to insults so I’d not be surprised if he had a massive chip on his shoulder with regard to NUFC fans. As an investment it’s a fucking pointless exercise, if he’d invested the £134m or whatever it was elsewhere 10 year ago he’d get a far better return than sticking it into a football club.

What a fucking winnet he is man.
