The implication here is that Sunderland are in League 1 because the fans didn't try hard enough.

But in his whole time at the club, Newcastle fans have never, ever been able to influence Mike Ashley or change his mind. Maybe Sunderland fans could have acted differently, but I certainly wouldn't be looking at the efforts of Newcastle fans as some kind of blueprint for making change happen at a football club.

In the time Mike Ashley has been in charge at Newcastle and the fans have protested his reign and tried their best to get him out, we have managed to oust two unpopular owners. Not that it done us any good like.
 
What a whopper :lol: lol


BLOCK THE ROADS - Er, the bit of road outside the Strawberry is a always blocked off during match day isn't it? If they blocked anywhere else off it would be pointless and dangerous surely? And they'd get arrested?

INVADE THE PITCH -
They love doing this if they're losing. But what if they take an early lead?? :lol: no way will peop!e do this if they're winning

STOP THE WARM UP -
This just sounds extremely silly. Hope they do this 😂😂😂😂

BANNERS/FLAGS -

The roads aren't blocked off. They put big gates in for the Olympics in 2012 but not been used since. However, the road should be blocked off, always cars trying to make their way through the crowds before and after the match. Usually some bewildered old couple out doing their shopping!

It's no great shock that you believe no good would come of PIF's ownership.

I can't speak for every Newcastle fan, but the overwhelming majority want shot of Ashley first and foremost. After tht they want the new owner to show ambition and have a little joined up thinking. The staggering wealth of PIF would have some dreaming of Haaland and Mbappe, but honestly, most just want to see the club push to be the best version of itself that it can manage. Under Ashley, under Bruce, we can't be.

Plenty of chomps, but this one tickled me.

You thought you'd piss the championship, then League 1, then League 1 again, etc.

This is almost last year's Premier League table, give or take a few places. Leeds a bit high, Arsenal and Spurs a bit low. Palace very low after releasing half their squad this pre season and bringing in a novice manager.

The most noticeable difference by far is that the team that finished 12th last year is marooned at the bottom, miles behind the team in 19th.

This is probably the closest you will get to seeing the mags' self-pitying delusion represented in statistical form. We aren't imagining it, they really are something different.

We criticise the mags for thinking they're better than they are so criticising them because they think they're shit makes us look like nuggets.
Plenty of things to pull the piss out of the mags for but that table isn't one of them.

I disagree. It shows the exact delusion.

They should finish mid table. As they have recently. But because they haven't had the Saudis, and because they won't be challenging for the champions league.... they say they have no optimism for the season.

Every other club, with realistic expectations and rational thought will largely be optimistic. The newly promoted sides know the odds are they'll get some batterings and may go straight down, but they are optimistic that they might have enough to stop up.

Delusion is thinking you're better than you are. That table shows the opposite.
Plenty legitimate reasons to criticise the mags, this isn't one of them.
