Do I. Well its all relative I suppose. If you are extremely intellectual Mr. 88, I may appear "canny think" in comparison.


No I don't ignore people I disagree with either. Defeats the object of discussion. Squirming :D .

King Abu Dhabi? You were joking. Honestly?

Anyway, why has Cox not been sacked yet? It was rather amusing but pitiable seeing Harrogate put five past your keeper right in front of your travelling fans on Saturday's EFL Show. With each one a decreasing number could be bothered to stand up and gesticulate at the scorer. Full marks to all of you who went and had to put up with it, at least you got a consolation goal before their sixth. Has your owner. Peter Swann, still got plenty of money? I know he's poured millions in with no success since the Adkins era. He's going to have to put his hand in his pocket in January or you'll be watching National League football a year from now but you don't anyone to tell you that.

I have no idea how he is still in a job. But I doubt Klopp could keep our rabble up. in fairness. Swann has "poured" nothing in! He said he did, but what he actually did was waste his money on expensive wages and loan singings, lose the Championship gamble, and then put the (retail friendly) ground and land the club DID have as their only real asset, in to his Development Companies name, to cover the 'Losses' the club made due to his stupidity! We have absolutely had it IMHO. Can't stand that smarmy prick.

He'll need to research that.
 
One of two things will happen with the media.

A) Everything will settle down and Newcastle will be seen as no different to Liverpool, Spurs, Man Utd, etc.

B) The actions of the Saudi State will be associated with the club.

I think, in all honesty, it will be the latter.

Even the most enthusiastically biased pro-Newcastle journalists will eventually realise the whole thing is rotten.

It's like when you fork out for a flash sports car and you quickly suspect it isn't what you hoped. But you put the roof down, get out in the sunshine and blast down the country lanes. You try hard to convince yourself it's just what you've dreamt of but you keep checking the guages and praying it doesn't all blow up in your face.

The Mags think they're flying along in a Ferrari but I don't think the road will be too smooth.

Aye marra, because they're not a load of Mag supporting sycophants.....
 
Just spoke to a scouser in a bar in liverpool who reckons that the mags takeover is a disgrace and reckons they are light years behind them and city anyway which we already know. He reckons being in the north east will put loads off but mercenary footballers wont give a tosh and whoever does sign is only in it for the dosh. However in my experience money talks and i just hope they buy the wrong type of player again and again. Hopefully KLD can get us up there competing and players avoid them cos of the saudis however i doubt it very much.
