it's a f***ing funny old game mind...

one minute you're lording it over your yoyo club neighbours after 10 consecutive years of top flight football..
revelling in an unprecedented 6 in a row derby victories.
putting the final nail in their failed relegation battle.
mercilessly mock the pub league.
pissing yourselves laughing at their vindictive owner and the wongadome.

then in the blink of an eye...
you finish rock bottom of two leagues in consecutive years and plummet to the third tier of english football for only the second time in your history.
attain your lowest ever league place finish.
develop an absolutely bizarre and bitter rivalry with a club over 300 mile away on the south coast.
an ex Newcastle player at fleetwood town manages to oversee your last hopes of automatic promotion.
an ex Newcastle player at charlton confines you to a second consecutive year in the third division.

and there's rumours your owner hasn't got a pot to piss in whilst Newcastle might be getting sold to a bloke with £18bn.

chin up lads, least there's no work till tuesday!

the funny old game continues...

just when it appeared us black and whites were holding all the trump cards, the inevitable happens..

the arab multi billionaire and his mates might not actually be worth much more than the second hand price of a camel, if indeed they even exist.
mike ashley defies all logic and decides the vision of being able to compete with the likes of watford, bournemoth, crystal palace etc isnt worth the hassle.
that updating the academy and training facilities to match those at a failing comprehensive school is again too much to ask.
a man who employed joe kinnear twice for no apparent reason other than he had the odd pint with him in hertfordshire, inexplicably fails to buy in to the not unreasonable wish to see transfers getting carried out a bit quicker and pay the going rate for footballers with a bit of ability. not to mention unify the supporters. so let's him go with a week to go before pre season training starts.
f***ing shambolic.

rivalries aside, whose turn is it next for the kick in the teeth?

two clubs who could quite easily and have done until only very recently commanded a 100,000 people through the turnstiles every fortnight.
the potential being very real for that to go up for either of us.

north east football is a f***ing joke.

:(
 
surely if he's leaving this takeover can't be happening ?
if this Arab was taking over with zillions to spend, he would have stayed to spend said huge amounts of his dosh ?
that's my take on it anyway

The daft thing is, for all their whinging and over reacting, there’s a chance that this is a good move for them in footballing terms.

Maybes they’re genuinely getting taking over and the new owners want their own man? The funny thing is, plenty of them on Twitter etc were happy for Rafa to leave the club on the condition that the Arabs bought Ashley out. Football fans are a fickle bunch.

Or maybe the new owners wanted someone better than a has been with negative football.

But seriously, I hope there is no takeover!
