Transfer news: Sammy Ameobi
If anyone tells you they were expecting this, they’re probably lying to you. Sammy Ameobi is to return to United from his loan spell from Bolton and it looks like Rafa Benitez may actually use him.

It depends on him if he can stay here or not. It depends how much he can give to us.

:lol::lol:

Makes sense that he won't go back out I guess with Atsu going to ACON (massive downgrade I know).

It was only an initial 6 month deal so why it was unexpected that he would return after the deal has ended if another hasn't already been put in place is strange.

Rafa has been living off that champions league win, did poor at Napoli too

They'll still get promoted in my opinion, but it's funny seeing some of them start to shit themselves a bit

Took over Inter as CL champions and fucked them up, got hounded out of Real Madrid and as you mention, fucked Napoli up.

Is your whole world just strawmen and cliche? :lol:

I've certainly not denied any of those things (apart from using the phrase Geordie Nation, though I know some "journalists" do).

Throughout his tenure I've seen Newcastle fans criticise Benitez when things have gone wrong, concerns have been raised about his pragmatic style, people would like to see more of certain players, or earlier subs.

But then, that doesn't fit your strawman does it? Honestly Reiver, there's plenty to mock your local rivals about, you needn't make things up. :lol:

You just keep ploughing on with this ludicrous 'strawman' cliché don't you ....... in absolutely every situation.
Like a 5 year old who keeps repeating a swear word he's learned.

How clichéd :rolleyes:

Well, really, what tends to happen is that someone like Reiver will make a statement about NEwcastle United or it's fans that isn't accurate and they will repeat so often that it becomes the accepted wisdom. The dissenting voices either don't care or haven't the inclination to correct them.

So you may repeat a statement that doesn't directly contradict the claim, but in so doing you're allowing the strawman to be built, which is a bit silly in itself.

Where have I done that ....... seems like you're building a strawman.

I'll put down mine if you put down yours.

I could use synonyms for strawman if you like, but then I'll get told off for using long words again. :lol:

Essentially Reiver, you fabricate a risible opposing position and declare it's the consensus of Newcastle fans, when, really, it isn't. Then, you repeat it on here as often as you can so your chums join in and you all swap these fabricated positions as if they're actually what Newcastle fans think/say/do because... well I personally think that you define your support for Sunderland by how much you show your hate for Newcastle.

And if someone takes the time to call you on your misrepresentation of the truth, you post a laughing smiley and say something along the lines of "rattled". It's as predictable as logging onto RTG to find threads about Newcastle United on the 1st page. :lol:

Cheers Bear. The fella is a fraud. Dining out on a good Valencia run and a fluke CL. Took Liverpool from title contenders to 7th.

Always remember them fighting for it pre Benitez every season. When he came I think they had one 2nd place finish, the year when they should have won it but he lost his head and ranted at Fergy with his FACTS.

That year they finished 2nd is highest points total not to win it. He upset the camp that day with that rant like.

Yes that's all very nice but you were accusing me of making inaccurate statements.

What are they?

That's not an inaccurate statement, it's a piss take.

If that's all you have then it's a strawman of the flimsiest kind.

I notice you've totally avoided the topic of the thread and zeroed in on the daft banter ....... no surprise there.

You would really like me to trawl through all your posts about Newcastle United to present every fabricated statement you've made on the subject? I do have some work to get on with you know? :lol:
