If Rafa stays and can get

if he keeps us up, he can leave next summer with his head held high, and Pardew can return to empty stands.....


after 35 yrs going to the match..... ten yrs of Ashley has just about finished me off (and I doubt very much that I'm in a minority there)

I'm certainly in the same boat Mick.

From my first match, my grandad took me to Southend away 1992 Jan 1st .

We took a 4-0 hammering in the bright south coast sunshine that day. Never laughed so much in my life at the banter on the terraces was hooked.

We were sh!te and we knew it. The travelling faithful were in good new years spirits despite the shocking trade being plied on the pitch.

However we were united. We all loved the club and knew the lads were giving the best they could.

Last 10 yrs, from such excitement at an English Billionaire buying the Halls and Sheppard out, talk of Ronaldinho to Perchino. The conversion from hallowed turf, sacred birth right of the Geordie nation & a century old national sporting institution to a billboard for the nations sporting poundland is now complete.

It doesn't matter to the fat man if we are in the Prem or the Championship. His Advertising hoardings are seen on TVs and in Newspapers across the land. It's perfect for Poundland Mike for the club to bounce between the leagues, spending as little as possible, with the excuse every few years to sell of any quality stock (players) when the club is flushed down the Premier league toilet by such giants as Brightone HA, Huddersfield or the Cryff-esque stylings of the Pottery based dyno that is Stoke.

What does he care for Europe? Sporting Poundland don't have stores in Milan & he doesn't earn revenue or need advertising to reach punters in Dusseldorf or Granada.

'The Dream is CL qualification' - It is just and will for ever more remain a dream of all the Toon Army whilst Poundland Mile has a strangle hold on our club. For him thou, it would be an absolute waking nightmare, as he may actually be forced to sell his billboard and potentially have to start paying 10s of millions of £££ in advertising.

Moral bankrupcy - the FA and the Premier League are as culpable as the Mr Poundland. Right and proper owner, don't make me puke!

As Blackburn fans if the W@nkies are right and proper, as Cardiff about Mr Tan or the Hull fans about their a$$hole owner.

Once again the Lords & sirs have sold off the working mans identity to feather their own nest.

We shouldn't be surprised England is not a country, it's a business & we are not seen as humans but workers, consumers, a source of fund.

There is no morality or ethics in the world, from selling weapons to trading the identity of a nation - all that matters is money and keeping people in their place.

Shut up, get fat, watching reality TV, pay tax & die quietly - Fu(k you very much.
