Howay

Still staggered by that.

Aye, many of them have those type of blinders when it comes to NUFC (I’m sure the same is for some of our lot but it’s definitely worse on their side). I saw one of them say it’s pointless sacking Grayson as the players are rotten and he was slagged to bits in typical RTG fashion (ones even saying “it’s a totally different group of players ” when it’s really not). Grayson is shite but he suits them and would do fine if it wasn’t for the absolute rot that is their playing staff. They laughed off that secret footballer lad when he said it, but that lad had no reason to bring it up as it’s not like making some claims about SAFC brought attention to his book since no one gives a fuck about them, he was simply passing on what was clearly reliable info and instead of listening to it they went into rabid attack mode. The reality is theyve overrated the shite on their books for years and turned a blind eye to the glaring lack of professionalism amongst their playing staff. They’re now thrilled ‘catts’ has been dropped despite making him out to be some Keane type for years because he turned up for two games a season (against you guessed it NUFC), the other 36 he was a total fucking clogger and spent his free time getting barred from various boozers. They also tend to fall in love with any youngster that plays, the reason being that a bit of graft stands out massively in their side as the others simply don’t give a fuck (players like Watmore and Gooch fall into this category, both fucking shite players who the mackems saw as quality). I also love that they are now getting defensive and calling any toon fan that pokes fun obsessed, the difference is we never made bold claims about how we’d ignore them this season like they did last season about us. Many actually said it was going to be a belta as all their claims of “easy League” and “yous are having another rafagation” would inevitably backfire. I’m personally absolutely fucking loving it and make no bones whatsoever about paying attention to them this year more than I have in yonks, and they’d be kidding themselves if they wouldn’t be lapping this up if it was the other way round.

I personally absolutely fucking hate them. They have no self awareness whatsoever as they responded to a Facebook group that wanted them banned by implying most like what they do iirc. The shitty, turgid, uninspired trumpeting always made the half arsed performances the English players put in at world cups look even more lackadaisical than they were. I’ve always been of the belief they’re all middle-England types who only follow England and don’t really bother with league clubs as they’re not really into footy.

It’s also worth noting they dodged massive periods of our best sides in recent years by being too shite to be in the same league as us.

Aye, they really should pack in trying to take any sort of high ground. I’ll also add the 6 in a row craic doesn’t bother me, aye the actual losses fucked me off but they’re irrelevant now aren’t they? The mackems are set to be a League One club ffs while our lot are well fancied to beat the drop and have a great deal of positivity and momentum.

Have to say I don’t go on there much so maybe it’s always like this but it’s fucking gold on there today. https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/peter-reid-kevin-ball.1399482/ A thread basically day dreaming of having a Peter Reid and Kevin Ball managerial partnership team where Kevin Ball kicks the players in .

That thread shows why it’s fucking pointless getting into debates with most of them where NUFC are involved. One of them even says less than 1% of their support would swap Grayson for Rafa it’s Rafa Benitez ffs, I get that they dislike us but this is a manager that has won La Liga, CL, etc it’s just fucking absurd the way they have carried on about him as if he’s some total joke manager who has failed everywhere. They regularly cite his spell at Real Madrid as evidence he’s shit! He fell out with Ronaldo and it went downhill, that’s who we have as manager, a bloke who 6 month before managing us was coaching one of the greatest players to ever live at one of the biggest clubs in the world and because he manages us they’re so blind to all that logic that they rate Sam Allardyce and Simon Grayson as being better managers than him. The daft part about it is they’re being serious.

The bloke is a total balloon knot.

Btw the thread about our takeover is a belta, it went on during their match. The last few pages consist of Sima and two mackems bickering about who was sadder, him for being a Newcastle fan on a mackem forum or a mackem discussing NUFC while the mackems are on, then two other mackems comparing how many games they’ve been to since the 70’s (a mackemoff if you will), before ending with a mackem getting so wound up (despite earlier saying he’s not bothered) that he said he wouldn’t bat an eye if every Newcastle fan died . What a bunch they are. I hope the Bristol fans enjoy their night out in a proper city as they were all planning, after beating that rabble.

Just had a look on their place and see they have a 10 page thread started this morning about our potential takeover. One of them on the thread is class, he's doing that thing where he's pretending he has some knowledge of the situation while clearly having no grasp of what he's on about. Just keeps citing the tax issue as being why the takeover will never happen, ignoring the fact NDA's were signed long after this tax case was public knowledge, and that if it did happen FFP would mean we'd never see big investment, because that rule has been applied very heavy handed so far . The best bit to this experts analysis is when he waffles on early in the thread about how the HMRC and FA will look to make a massive example to prevent it happening again, then later in the thread shows he thinks the amount in question is in the hundreds of thousands so not only is this fucking nugget pinning his hopes to this unlikely conclusion to a tax case but he thinks all that (relegation, loss of takeover, etc) will happen over a few hundred grand! The reality is companies take dodgy tax positions all the time, I can't remember the way IFRS treats this area but in the U.S. companies set up reserves in case the authorities come after them for these risky positions, so there may be something on the books already - in which case it's going to be no issue whatsoever to the interested party (not that I see it being one if there was no reserve established). The club appear to be alleged to have been avoiding tax by using a conduit, if a court agrees with HMRC then the club will be assessed a tax bill, plus a fine, plus interest on the original tax bill. Maybe I'm wrong and the FA will see all this and take the massive step of relegating NUFC, I don't really see it and clearly the interested parties don't see it as they are pressing ahead.

Aye that was a belta. They paid him no mind, if that was in person they’d have all stopped talking and looked at him before turning away and going “...well anyway buzzing to get on the pints in Newcastle after chinning Sunderland”. Why the fuck would you be going arse licking the fans of the team you play next ffs.

I like to think it was Oba who tipped them off to your article, the mental bastard. It was probably ‘written’ by one of his hangers on that he regularly flew over to Newcastle.

I mean I get that he gave them credit by pointing to where he got the info but it just makes the article redundant if he’s not really adding anything to it. He may as well have just posted a link.

That Ryder article is class btw, he’s literally just copy and pasted from that UAE newspaper, the nationals, article on the same topic. He didn’t even bother changing the wording. Here’s the National article Ryder lifted from: https://www.thenational.ae/world/english-football-s-economic-miracle-driving-staveley-s-newcastle-bid-1.670629

0-5 based on absolutely nothing whatsoever. Chris Wood is a threat but I think our CB’s will match up well against him.

Aye it’s disgraceful by the ref, honestly though overall the ref was fucking dire. Zaha should have been sent off for two bookable offences going off how easy he handed cards out to our lot. The thing that got me with the Cabaye challenge is what is the argument for not sending him off? He went in with two feet, lunged off the ground, scissored his legs, and went through the back. He had zero chance whatsoever of getting the ball and couldn’t have possibly intended too, it also doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to notice the connection between them not getting a pen for what they saw as a Yedlin foul of Zaha and Yedlin almost losing his leg 20 seconds later. I’m also fucking sick of hearing “he’s not that type of player” first of all we all know Cabaye is a sly cunt, he’s as bad as Shelvey it’s just he’s smarter about it. Ignoring that though, it’s got fuck all to do with anything, he did do it, he flew in wildly, high, and recklessly with no control over the challenge and could have ended a lads season regardless of if it’s out of character in that moment he did do it.

Aye it’s fucking hilarious, also all the same pundits that rip on the Moyes and Van Gaal Man Utd sides forget sister in law smasher was the assistant for both. I hope they do give it to him so we can watch as total cunts like Carragher have to sit and squirm desperate to avoid admitting their mate is a shite manager. You have to love the “just give it to Giggsy” tweet, as if there’s 3 games left and Ryan Giggs has any fucking connection to Everton, there’s nearly 30 games left you slack jawed scouse tramp. Not a chance Rafa goes there btw, not sure why anyone is worried. He’s a Liverpool legend, he sees Everton as tramps and iirc has called them a small club at some point in the past. He has us playing to his system, has his staff in place, and we are possibly about to have a big takeover. He’s not going to leave to go to a completely demoralized, unbalanced side as that would tarnish his reputation with us and Liverpool fans. Not saying there’s not a club he would leave us for, it’s just not them.

That’s absolutely pathetic.

Aye bad day for the scousers. I think I heard the commentator say it was a PL record attendance and 2nd highest for an English top flight match. That Lovren was a fucking nightmare mind, subbed after half an hour . I wonder if this Alli and Kane will be the ones we see play for England in Russia...

That article in the other thread from the express that also has this link is fucking hilarious btw. £500m to spend and it links us with Townsend and HBA may as well say we’ll be after Brett Emerton, and Leighton Baines as well.

Everton getting smashed again.

Can’t say I’d like to see us sign Townsend again for the money they are quoting. The only way we’d spend that on a player would be if we do get some mega money takeover, and as Quiff said if that happened we could get better than him. Zaha is fucking tragic though, clearly thinks he’s a Bale/Ronaldo type player as he’s a similar type of height and build, the issue is he’s a fucking tart and is average as fuck. The clip of some of his dives man, in fact the prick should have been sent off for a second yellow after pulling Yedlin back, which he only did because his fragile ego couldn’t handle the fact that Yedlin with the ball is still faster than him without it.

Desperate little twats, have to love the ones getting all hett up at “the mags spreading rumours” despite the first post even saying it’s from a newspaper. The answer is no though, there’s a reason investors have no interest in them. They have horrific books, high earners that are talentless but on long deals, apparently still paying off some transfers that have long since left the club. They also have no international presence, Newcastle is generally known either due to the football club or brown ale, they can shrug it off as arrogance but it’s simply true. The thing a deal like this might do is improve Newcastle generally, the airport might get better direct flights to longer distance locations to get the glory hunters in, some more posh hotels, more restaraunts etc. So I suppose that would make their lives a little better again, it would be yet another thing for the miserable little scabby cunts to thank Newcastle for. They’ll still keep pretending Sunderland Ian just as good though, and I’m sure that maginpeace winnet will be right there saying how nice it is.

I think he's better out wide where he's able to run at the full back, or up front (like when he got games after he first moved to us, although that could just be me remembering that spell fondly), he seems to get crowded out in the area in between the lines despite grafting.
