TOON tycoon Mike Ashley was at St James’ Park last night to take in Newcastle United’s brave bid to reach the FA Youth Cup final.

 

And while the United owner could only watch as the junior Magpies were narrowly edged out by Aston Villa, he can take some solace from the fact that many of the Under-18 side appear to have a chance of making progress to the first-team stage.

 

Indeed Haris Vuckic, Samuel Adjei and Phil Airey represent gems of the Academy side, while Jeff Henderson, Paul Dummett, James Tavernier, Conor Newton, Sammy Ameobi and Brad Inman are also hot young talents.

 

The Chronicle understands that the Newcastle chief held talks with Chris Hughton and his coaching team straight after the game at St James’ last night as the black-and-whites look ahead to next season and the challenge of the Premier League.

 

Meanwhile, Newcastle were facing decision time today about how they will get to Plymouth for Monday’s game at Home Park.

 

With the UK still in the grip of airport chaos, United’s planned lunchtime flight tomorrow was still in doubt.

 

This leaves United facing the option of an eight-hour bus ride or a train journey to the West Country.

 

United are also understood to be considering making the signing of Queens Park Rangers loan star Fitz Hall a permanent one.

This board is slowly going down the shitta... ;)

 

You're not kidding, every other post seems to be about some Ashley bum-loving.

 

Its not that...

 

Without naming names, apart from a select few who consistently submit "good" posts the general standard on this board has been on the wane for some time now.

 

Theres a fair few newbies who talk shit and go on the windup too, i mean thats all good if its good crack but tbh their crack is just pure gash.

 

And there is the fact that people just dont start "interesting" conversation and debate fuelling threads anymore.

 

There are some who want to rim FMA and there is others who fist the previous boards and live in the past.

 

Even after promotion, and winning the CCC, seeing our side with the best team spirit in years and now on a much better basis to build and improve, that vast majority are still doom mongers. Let me just say that last statement is by no means "rimming" FMA! I still would like him out of our club but he gave us a decent January window, no further fuckups, il just hold my judgement on him until the end of the summer.

 

Its just shit man.

Looking at which ones he will be able to sell on in a few years time?

 

There you go Leazes, a bit of effort put in and this can still be an anti Ashley thread ;)

I think the downfall isn't so much of being within the forums as the fans in general. Since Ashley fucked things up people are reluctant to celebrate much and see things and achievements not as a means of us being on the up but more that we're clawing our way back to where we were before things were messed up. There's an overall apathy about things because people don't want anything to do with something tainted by Ashley and his scumbag cronies, doom-mongers or not it's reasonable to expect people to be uninterested in a club 'going through the motons' of being a 'mediocre' version of it's previous self.

 

Of course there are those who are a bit younger perhaps who don't realise the actual size and power that should be this club and have never known anything properly other than us being in the shit (from Souness onwards I should think). Personally I find myself feeling agrieved that we're not up there in the Prem challenging for Europe season in, season out - which incidentally was lost to us before Ashley came along, however the fat man has done nothing other than compact the problems further. Yes we've managed to get rid of some of the deadwood, still Ashley should know he can't take us to the next level now and get out after righting his wrong of getting us relegated - by staying all he'll do is drag out our obscurity in the lower half of the Prem at best. The Ashley era needs writing of a big mistake, a millionaire wannabe football club owner who should never have got anywhere near the sport.

 

Until we get an owner who's capable of some real financial clout we're going to wallow amongst the nothing teams like the Hulls, Wigans, Birminghams, etc.
