Makes the re definition of the phrase even stranger when the new definition doesn’t even make sense!

For the curious- posts hidden as they contained suggestion that large groups of people were selfish, when they are only following government guidelines. Whatever we think of the government, those are the rules we all have to follow. Anyhow, back to the footy!

A low block doesn’t even make sense. Unless you mean blocking a shot with your bollocks…..

Absolutely no doubt about that either, to be fair! However, having seen them both play, I still think Aguero was a better player. I’m really conflicted saying that too, as Alan Shearer was my hero growing up and certainly the best player I’ve seen with us in my lifetime.

Aguero was the most talented striker ever in the PL, for me. I know that’s a big call, but I just felt like he had it all, when he was on form, he was unplayable. You’ll get no argument on Shearer from me, the man is an absolute demi-God in my eyes for what he achieved here. Can understand the sentimental transfer from his point of view, but, if he’d gone elsewhere after here, he’d have won much more.

Aguero has the best goals to game ratio in the history of the PL. Most goals of any foreign player ever too. If he’d played in England since he was 18 and better luck with injuries, he’d be the all time leading goal scorer without a doubt for me.

But you still aren’t blaming the fans though, yeah?

At least we aren’t the only team that can have 7 put past us, which is comforting.

Are you just going to deliberately overlook the reason people aren’t going to the games? Spoiler alert- it’s because of Venky’s mismanagement of the club. Also- corporate boxes being empty for years- you’ve guessed it, that’s also down to Venky’s mismanagement of the club….

You say this like people were unreasonable to criticise an under performing player when he was under performing. Then he starts performing and delivering like (and even much better than) we always hoped he would. That isn’t hypocrisy, that just stands to reason. You can’t possibly be annoyed at fans for being annoyed at the potential sale of our top scorer, can you?

I’m just finishing the new Dexter, then on to Succession. It’s absolutely brilliant though!

What a shame. Genuinely one of the best I’ve seen in the PL.

The bit on bold is what I have been trying to say. Thanks for doing it so succinctly!

There’s no need to ‘dispelled negativity’. Every different poster has a different view, it’s not worth overthinking to that degree. Any sense of superiority from anyone on here needs to stop as it’s just turning into baiting and getting very old, very quickly.

I mean, I do tell him every time there’s a meeting, but short of me being appointed to help with the ticket pricing, there’s not really much more I can do, to be fair! I explain the situation and if he doesn’t listen, what else can I do?

I’ve actually since unhidden it, but whatever. People aren’t criticising everything the club does, they are actually criticising certain things. Sorry I made a mistake with my original wording though. I’ll not sleep tonight, cheers, mod’s crying.

Are people really ‘finding fault with every aspect of the club’, or just specific things that concern or affect them? This hyperbole isn’t helpful and it’s just plain divisive.

Bit of an embellishment there, I’ll be honest!

I was hoping we had gone past the ‘negative’ insult, but here we are. I can’t believe what I’m reading. Surely, no matter how much more of an idea anyone has, not having stock of something that people want to buy doesn’t make good business sense? That would lose us money, when people wants goods that we are unable to supply?!

As long as you have a Covid pass you can still be single jabbed and attend. You can even have had no jabs. Just need proof of a negative test.

You have to get a pass for each game. Masks optional.

Right, it probably should be enough, but it isn’t, so I’ve told you what will be enough. Glad we are in agreement.

Okay fine, don’t agree, but I was only trying to save you time in the queue….

I’ve been to loads of gigs where this is a thing and I’m telling you now, you need to download the ‘NHS’ app and download a pass which is valid for 48 hours, I think. You’ll need a new one per event or game, believe me. If you don’t want to agree then that’s fine, but you won’t be getting into Ewood without it.

The way Newcastle fans go on, it’s like no other club has had bad owners apart from them. The favourable treatment they get in the media is cringeworthy. Would be absolutely hilarious if they went down.
