Newcastle United vs Arsenal: Match Thread.

Mike Ashley, Newcastle owner has promised his backroom staff a bonus of 1m if Newcastle beat Arsenal tomorrow. Can anyone confirm, is he a closet spuds fan?

 

So, are they lining up their back room staff against us?

 

Hope not! Anything is possible with that club/team so you never know!

 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/w/wigan_athletic/7621846.stm Turns out I was right!!!!!

 

I can confirm the whole family are Spurs fans, I've met his son.

 

I was told a while back that Ashley once had a season ticket.

 

Still. The whole thing seems a little irrelevant. It should be the players that need the motivation, not the staff. Expecting a tight game anyhow. Arsenal to nick it by one goal...

.. I won't be able to watch the game anyway..

 

I hear ya. Am at work until 4pm today. Will do the 30 minute drive home in less than half the time. I should only miss our 1st two goals that way

 

Chelsea fan, was confirmed by our odious chairman while they under fire about the name change.

I have to go out at 5 local time and will only be back after 9pm. Will miss everything. The first thing I will check when I get back is this board, if it is overflowing with negativity and hatred then I know we've blown it. If there are not many articles then I know we have done it. In all seriousness, I expect us to win.

 

If I were you, I would avoid this site and the score & watch the match on a replay stream.

www.mysoccerplace.net is a good one

 

That's useful, thanks! I will definitely have a look.

 

Is everyone misreading this or something?
'Mike is a Chelsea supporter. Everyone thinks he is a Tottenham supporter, by the way, and that upsets him.'
He's also explicitly denied being a Spurs fan in the past: 'I absolutely hate Spurs and always have done.'
Explains why he's such a prick that everyone despises.

 

On the contrary, hating spurs would be his only saving grace

 

Really nervous ahead of this game.

 

Yep, likewise. The whole of North London is crapping itself this afternoon . . .

 

One for each of you....
