Well here's a few questions for the silent majority who have turned St. James' Park into Old Trafford MkII.

Have you ever sung "We can see you sneaking out" or "Sing when you're winning" at away games? If you have, how can you be such a hypocrite?

If you left as a protest, how effective do you think it was? Do you think Rob Lee spotted that seat 98, row G was empty before he won that penalty?

Do you think 50,000 people bellowing can affect what happens on the pitch?

How does abandoning the team trailing by a single goal with ten minutes remaining help? If you can't be bothered then why should the players?
