N U F C

Great performance from us but I do think it felt a tighter game than the 5-1 scoreline.

Bad week for Villa losing Buendia and probably Mings long term but they’ve signed well, be shocked if they weren’t in and around the top 8 even with European football to play this season too.

Thanks for letting me know. Had no idea the server wasn't sending emails properly.

I was meaning I can’t see a sign up/register button on the home page. All I can see is a sign-in one.

Could be completely missing it though haha.

I think Wolves, Sheffield United and Luton are massive favourites to go down.

What did whiskey say in the bugs thread before it got deleted?

That’s a terrible situation.

Best wishes to you and your family @Batard

Cardiff defended very well to be fair.

GET IN!!!!

Fuck knows how, but we've taken the lead. Bowler puts it into the net after a bit of scrappy defending.

Because I backed Leeds to win to nil, that’s how

Is the forum blocked to new members signing up?

I’ll join in again

Has the forum been blocked to new accounts?

You’re allowed to do whatever you like mate, no one has said otherwise. I just don’t buy the ‘it’s hard’ excuse, a lot of things in life are hard and I don’t think watching another team or giving up a hobby is one of them; I reckon slave labour in Saudi Arabia would be harder. A billion other things you could do and even more while you travel across the UK, I don’t think for a second your life is so empty that football is the one thing you have, but maybe it is, I don’t know you, and if it is that’s perfectly fine. If you want to stay on with Newcastle, then stay on, you don’t have to do anything that anyone says, if you literally said ‘I don’t give a toss about the owners or Saudi Arabia, I’m here for the footy’ that’d be cool, but you aren’t, you keep trying to throw it back at people ‘you wouldn’t give up your team!’

I don’t know what you mean by ‘precious’ but I’m not the one getting bent out of shape and making weird excuses because  people don’t like your owners. All in all mate, this isn’t personal, you’re allowed to follow Newcastle, I wouldn’t and I’ve proved in the past I have dropped teams.

I’m not attacking or criticising you mate, if that’s what you think.

I did say very early on that I obviously don’t agree with what Saudi do.

I actually don’t go to many games anymore due to work, family etc but I do think that it’s harder than you believe to walk away from a football club, especially your home club and one you’ve grown up around, but I also see your point too.

Is it? I went to Cubs games all the time. Don’t tell me how hard or easy something is when you can’t do it yourself. 
Support whoever you want IDGAF but this whole ‘it’s so hard to stop’ is absolute nonsense, just admit you don’t want to. ‘You don’t go to games’ doesn’t hold water at all, and is a weird flex.

If you go home and away every weekend it’s a big part of your life and that is very difficult to stop.

You clearly have different things to do with your time. Some don’t and football is a big part of their life.

You have become very precious over the past few months.

None. But I used to buy merch all the time and pay to watch. I hope you aren’t building up to a ‘gotcha’, I don’t need your validation on my worth as a fan of something. I also never went to a Broncos game despite living there for two years.

Building up to a what?

It’s much easier to walk away from a club when you don’t go to games.

Chicago Cubs - Family are real estate tycoons, gentrifying Chicago, pumping money into Trump campaigns, flagrantly anti-fan by pay walling the team’s games behind their own network and constantly raising prices. 

Brisbane Broncos - owned by Newscorp. Evil.

Chelsea - I was okay with it for a long time but Abramovic’s billions are at the cost of the Russian people, an oligarch that sucked up vast amounts of natural resources that should belong to the people of Russia, not one man. A callous man, murderer, and Putin stooge.

and the Chicago Blackhawks and Bears push my patience too, they tread a razor wire.

How many Chelsea games had you been to?

I think it comes down to personal preference. It doesn't make you any more or less committed as a fan, or any better or less as a person.

I made a long post last year about if Palace had kept Kouyate on I would have had to make a difficult decision, whilst at the same time all the Twitter tadpoles were getting excited over the possibility of signing Ismalia Sarr. So it really comes down to what a person is comfortable with.

I agree.

I think it’s very easy to say you’d sack your team off when you don’t actually have to make that decision.

I don’t support or agree with anything Saudi Arabia do but that doesn’t mean I can’t support Newcastle United.

It’s easy to say when it hasn’t actually happened

Maybe protest being owned by a public fund of a fucked up dictatorship in the stands… even if it ends up being half as much effort as it was when fans were protesting Ashley being a cheap fuck.

And Liverpool fans would do that would they? Aye right.

Acknowledge that it's dodgy as fuck and not try and make excuses. The fan above literally said 'generally murder is bad' as if other types of murder are okay ffs  

Obviously it’s not right what they’re doing.

But the constant what if it was Sunderland etc that gets peddled on social media and now on here is just bollocks

Anyone with a brain can see what Saudi Arabia do is wrong, doesn’t mean I think any less of how well we are doing on the pitch.

Would genuinely love to see the reaction and if the same conclusions had been made if PIF/Saudi had involvements with or bought Sunderland... 

What exactly do you want Newcastle fans to do about it? Stop supporting their club? 

Are people still using the other site or is everyone back here now?

How is everyone getting on?

Why is hardly anyone not posting now that this place is re-opened? Do all the old members know its up and running again?

 

 

 

Because some people still use Discord.

It needs to be one or the other open for me but it’s not my decision.

About 3 minutes away on foot.

Pretty handy but I can't move my car on matchday otherwise when I come back I wont have anywhere to park within a 10 mile radius of my house 

What a load of babble 

How could it be missed if the river has been searched so many times?

Apparently the body was recovered in the part of the river next to the road, not sure if that means anything but it could have been dumped there. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
