Renton 22379 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 The trouble here my lovelies, is that we are all suffering from a detachment from reality. A club can VERY quickly go from Champions League to the Championship. Look at Leeds. They didn't take a reality check and paid very heavily. Roeder essentially is doing a repair job (and a bloody good one at that.) The club was in tatters and its reputation had gone even further down the swanee. We are not the club of the Keegan or Robson era...there ISN'T a queue of top managers outside Freddie's door, nor do top players automatically think of Newcastle as good career move. These are the facts. Of course I'd rather we had Mourinho and the pick of the top 4's squads but that's fairy tale stuff. This is the reality. Roeder is putting the foundations right (looking for players with the right attitude for sensible money) and that ultimately is what will stop us becoming a Leeds. We aren't spending money we don't have to get us out of trouble and if you don't understand that then I'm afraid you need to..... I agree with a lot of that but take issue with Roeder's suitability as a manager and him doing a "bloody good job". He might have steadied the boat but where is the evidence he can take us forward?

I think he's doing as well as anyone we could have realistically got, he's certainly doing better than O'Neill is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you make that out? Because we are 4 points ahead of them having won one game against them (and believe me, we were very lucky)? Was inheriting the Newcastle job and Villa job equivalent? Come back in a years time and see if that statement is remotely correct. Notice I didn't even have to mention their track records btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got us into Europe after we were looking at a relegation fight. If that had been Hitzfeld we'd have all been kissing his arse tbh. Roeder lost his main striker as well as some key squad members and yet we are still above Villa and will be at the end of the season.

I hope you are right in your optomism but some of the performances I have seen this season have been the worst I have ever seen, and good performances are few and far between. With almost no fresh blood that doesn't bode well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Fancy Villa to finish above us with the two new strikers tbh. We'll have to settle for winning the UEFA Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 10001 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Fancy Villa to finish above us with the two new strikers tbh. We'll have to settle for winning the UEFA Cup. Looking at our remaining fixture list we should normally make a lot of places, as we have a decent run in. The toughest away games are Pompey and Reading. From the top teams we have to play Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal, but all at home. It all depends on if we keep on relying on our luck or actually start to play well.

Invicta_Toon 0 Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 things could be worse. we could be in west ham's position people WANT us to be in West Ham's position. The league table doesn't matter as long as you spend each and every window signing half the planet, only to get rid of them at the next, along with your manager This is what I meant in the other thread when I mentioned coming up with silly arguments that make you look stupid, for the sole purpose of being Little Miss Contrary. You're clearly not a stupid bloke so why do you insist on portraying yourself as one? Am I missing something? He's at the bestest university in the known universe man. Or something. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt to see if I could get him to stop being such a dick. you disagree that West Ham's transfer activity is being held up as how we should be doing things? of course the post is a bit over the top, but I would expect most people not to take everything as read, and be able to extract the basic point. However, pedantry seems to be the order of the day for the gemmilator How do you have the brass neck to accuse others of pedantry? You come across of argumentative, yet also seem to be ignorant on the topics you are arguing about. Add that to the fact that you often post random shite in threads you clearly have little interest in, and your incessant need to abuse people who disagree with you.....
