    The truth?

    Like last year and the year before.

    You really, genuinely seem to fail to see other peoples positions. I and many others on here know and realise the position we, NUFC, are in but can also put that into context in regard to the restrictions that we, NUFC, have to operate within. We also don’t have stupid vendettas where everything is blamed on an individual as again we are able to see the restrictions he is operating in. As most said at the start it was going to be a “journey” with bumps along the road whereas you seem to have forgotten that and expect instant sustained success.

    You rabbit on about truth and facts when again you aren’t willing to accept facts when they don’t suit you and again fail to put all facts you do accept into context. I have never minded anyone having a contrary view to mine and do enjoy a good debate/discussion but when the other person’s view is flawed because of lack of context or acceptance of other facts then you’re never going to persuade me to change my view.

    What you have, as do I, is an opinion. Not a factual position or the truth. Neither of us know all the facts and we never will because we are not on the inside either in relation to the team or the running of the Club. That is why it can be a discussion about it. What I and a number of others complain about is where a few, including you, express opinions as if they were fact, as you just did, and then repeat and repeat and repeat every other post that same view even when, on a lot of occasions, it’s not relevant to the discussion in hand at the time. It’s the constant repetition combined with its negativity which is grating. Most people on here can read, sorry Chippy, and don’t need 10 posts saying the same thing to understand what you feel or believe. Also, what really is the point to come on to a Forum to read constant negative drivel?

    You talked about having a ‘truce’ yesterday and then have proceeded to act like a 5 yo arguing in the playground. I seriously am not on here to have a discussion with a 5 yo. Act in an adult manner and I’m happy to have discussions with you. I know everyone doesn’t have the same views as me and that’s why I enjoy a good debate but not with someone who can’t discuss things as they won’t accept facts contrary to their position or able to put context into the issue being discussed.

    By the way this is me being nice. I could easily have responded quite differently to your sanctimonious and condescending post.

    Backwards mate. Well before the takeover it was easier to read them backwards. That way it almost felt like we won every week!

    It’s far too easy to wind you up. Honestly you need to calm down. Seriously it’s not good for your health.

    That’s a fact. But soon it might be. At least we accept the truth.

    There is a realm possibility we will be very low down in the table after the next two games.

    If we do win today it will be fantastic.

    I am really enjoying the build up. Some people just take it far too serious. Not you I may add.

    Well, if that’s your aim in life, what a sad life you have and person you are.

    Not trying to wind you up. I’m trying to calm
    You down. I said yesterday I wanted a truce. I’m bored of whatever this is.

    So just ignore me if I wind you up that much. Probably better for the rest anyways.

    Just try and take comments with a pinch of salt. You don’t always have to jump down people’s throats..

    I don't know why people are so worried about how much is in our glasses if theirs is so plentiful.

    Losing is funny sometimes that's how I choose to take it if possible. I'm sensing some people are beginning to realise that the bedwetters might have just been reading the situation quite well.

    Either way let's just hope Newcastle win because I'd rather put up with them helicoptering in our faces and Newcastle getting 3 points than be right and be persecuted at full time.

    I'm going to hope for a win plain and simple... hopefully we can all agree on that and maybe agree to no I told you so's from either faction... it's all getting tiresome listening to their **** and ours I'm sure.

    And there you go again with the personal insults. It’s not really necessary is it.

    1. “Too easy to wind you up”.

    2. “Not trying to wind you up”

    Make your mind up. You either were, which you intimated you were, or you weren’t, which you subsequently claimed.

    3.”If that’s your aim”

    4.”personal insults”

    You try and wind me up, what do you expect? If you weren’t trying to wind me up, then the comment didn’t apply to you.
