Hello all, 

Since 2014, we—the students and professors of the Know Rivalry Project—have been studying rivalry for sports in North America with the help of message board members. Now we are expanding our research to the English Premier League. Please help us ensure that Newcastle United FC are included by taking 9 minutes to complete our updated survey:

Our previous results in the US have been featured in numerous sports media outlets, as well as the Wall Street Journal and New York Times. You can view those results, links to media coverage, and learn more about us at our KnowRivalry.com website.

We use the Qualtrics online survey software for data collection. This academic research has been approved by two US universities' Institutional Review Boards (IRB) and it poses no risks to respondents. You'll find more information on the disclosure agreement that is required to start the survey. Thank you for helping us to include Newcastle United FC by participating and please share this with any other fans that may also help.

Can fuck right off.

What do you reckon today then? WHAM not being overly good last couple of games so i reckon we could nick this

A proper character, the Queens rock and a man who served his Country well, RIP.

Thanks  to  Mr Pfizer  had  my  2nd  jab  today.Despite  what's  said  on  Sky  news,  the  vaccinations   here  in  Spain

  are  going  well                  

This is a MUST WIN game. A genuine 6 pointer.

Its getting rather ominous just now, only managing to draw against Fat twat Allardyce and Fulham getting an unexpected win against the bin dippers. Its a hard one to call and difficult as well.

If it wasn't for the prospective takeover, I would like to see Ashley crash and burn. If we survive the drop and get new owners, all well and good. If the takeover collapses I'll be back to wishing we dropped. What a place to be ffs.

We win 2 to nil.

WTF happenned there? That is the very best I have seen us since Rafa left.

Since the arrival of Sreve Bruce, our football has been dirge. Watching every match has been a horrible frustrating and miserable experience, leaving me to be inclined to hope we lose, not only because we deserve to, but for the greater good which is to make Ashleys investment value plummet. That in itself is a contrary statement because the greater good is for the takeover to go ahead, which arguably will never happen if we go down...

However I would never have imagined the complete transformation I witnessed almost 24 hours ago. We played with zest, vigour and purpose. We played pressing, winning the ball and keeping it, passing and moving as a team, showcasing that we can actually perform to a standard that wins games. I actually cheered when we scored, and then indulged in a second salutation in stoppage time.

Can this all be down to the introduction of this new coach? Did he influence the way we set up? Possibly, but what stands out for me is it has exposed Bruce for the numbnuts he is. Miggy was highly effective, playing more in his natural position. Wilson was working the channels and getting better service, seeing more of the ball instead of being isolated and stifles week in week out.

There is clearly a lot of work to be done and room for much improvement, but if we play like we are clearly capable of doing so and with consistency, I'm kind of back on board to actually enjoying watching us play.

So there!
