Newcastle Utd (and Viz)

What's your view on Sunderland please mate?

My best mate supports them as do a good few others. They’ve got some real knacker fans as has every other club and Pure Football on RTG is littered with them.

Change black and white to red and white and we’re more or less the same. It’s the we’re classy and they’re deluded black n white scum that is endlessly trotted out that does my head in. What a load of bollocks.

Fyiw I stood in the Fulwell End with said best mate when Gillingham sent them down and he stood with me in The Gallowgate when they did us in the play off semi-final. Christ knows how he didn’t give himself away.

I mean, they’re right

The amount of money we’ve wasted is sickening

I said the same mate. We are a warning though which is having lots of money in a context where everyone has lots of money is not the advantage people think it is. If you're not careful, you can get ahead off yourselves and start wasting money hand over foot giving a head strong manager everything he wants uncritically. I think under Benitez they are at risk of repeating that very mistake.
 

Why would a sheikh or whatever it is not look at us with the new stadium and plough their money there. All the money in the world won't make Newcastle a big club who challenges for anything. Why not buy a sleeping giant and change the future?

Ancelotti or Steve Bruce. Jesus wept

It’s interesting seeing other fans views on your own club. By and large we get viewed as a canny place but when it comes to football we’re a group of fat, deluded, self entitled, Geordie Nation horse bothering knackers and that our near neighbours are a bastion of well grounded fans who know their place.

The reality is, like every other club, we have a small, vocal, set of knackers and a large majority of normal fans who simply love their football.

Sky latched onto NUFC very early on, we came up with an exciting, good, side with a great back story with Keegan and Sir John Hall and his Geordie Nation guff. Since then everything about Newcastle fans has been exaggerated, it’s simply not true that we had average attendances of 12,000, 16,000-17,000 yes, and this was at a time when we had a half demolished, crumbling ground heading for the 3rd division when top Div 1 clubs weren’t doing that much better. Football in the late 70’s early 80’s was a different world. That’s not to say we’re the best fans either and what does that even mean? What is true is that we’ve won nowt for decades and our attendances, compared with others at the same time and respective divisions holds up very well.

Sky and the media through sustained stereo typing endlessly portray the extremes and this over time becomes accepted as the face of that club and fans. Scousers

Anyway, all most Newcastle fans want is for the club to be the best version of itself it can be with the resources it has, be that be in the PL or Northern League. Ashley turned us into an advertising vehicle, used fans as commodities and tried to display a shiny, useable veneer hiding a decaying, dying club behind the scenes.If we were relegated he’d saddle a bit more debt owed to him, we’d come up and the club would die a little more. You may have seen photos of players in kiddies paddling pools and ice baths in wheelie bins. He forced Rafael out when Rafael tried to change this.

As a fan base most of us are desperate for this to go through, it gets the cancer out of our club. We’ve no control over how or to who and we just want to be able to support our club again with some hope that we are at least trying to be that best version.

The hope is that whole region benefits, the Reuben brothers already own quite a chunk of land in the city centre and hopefully have plans to redevelop this area and a longer term plan on a wider scale.

Lastly, I don’t know of one Newcastle fan who actually believes we “deserve” this or believes we will win anything either.

Stay safe everyone.

I can understand your desperation for change but you do know that Saudi executed 800 people in the last 5 years? Their human rights are non existent and their buying of NUFC is really only sportswashing

Because we already have one of the richest Russians who owns us and is building that new stadium
