4-0 tomorrow night

[Asprilla 96]

Put my house on this prediction and lost. Just another reason to dislike you in my eyes.

Do us a favour.. when your crazy prophecy turns out not to be true log back in here tomorrow night and answer your critics....

You've got to say fair play to accadacca for sticking his prediction in beforehand and not coming back to gloat.

 

Is he really a wum?

His prediction was the board would be full of happy campers if it happened.

 

He was wrong so he's registered as Dummydan to give that illusion.

[Percy Street 0]

and this board will be full of happy campers again.

 

 

Unlikely. Too many of them enjoy being miserable.

 

But I vote for the acca dacca party, I like your optimism and also that , to date, you've been proved right. I recall you banging on at the start of the season saying we'd go up basically because there was not the quality to detain us. And so far you are so right. Don't expect any of your detractors to admit that though. Or to do happy anythime soon.

 

Cheers

 

Percy (your one fan)

I'd say ,Percy, you are confusing misery with concern.

Everyone on here wants us to do well- have a read thru the Cardiff thread as an example.

The concern, as I see it, is firstly that we have a squad capable of seeing us promoted- we probably have at present, although not one that will " piss this league" to paraphrase Accy D. Even the most hopeless optimist would have to say our recent form has given cause for concern.

The more worrying prospect is the move back into the PL.

Ashley will not spend sufficiently to rebuild to the level needed to compete, and is happy with Hughton as his puppet.

 

Even if we romp home clear Champions this season, what awaits is misery.

 

Well perhaps my "too many of them enjoy being miserable" was a bit scattergun and harsh on balanced posters on here. I was reacting (perhaps over reacting) to some of the negativity that abounds on here and across Tyneside. I'm not blind to our shortcomings (I was down at Leicester but merely suffered Swansea on the box).

 

I think perhaps the Swansea game sums up my feelings about the problem with (some) supporter attitude. Yes we were rubbish, second best, didn't deserve a point - no argument. But this season at home to Bristol City and Derby we drew when we clearly deserved all three points but for many we were not unlucky and those performances simply got panned. Similarly too many people focused on the (admittedly) better football of West Brom in our recent double header rather than the penalty or four we might have had and which would have changed a very great deal.

 

What awaits next season? A lot harder time thats for sure but misery? I'm not entirely sure. I'm a big believer in the ability of a couple of the "right" signings to transform a side. Look at current NUFC with or without Routledge /Jonas/ Jose. Its obvious our current fat controller won't chuck money around but several things here. It frequently did us little good when we did chuck daft money around and anyway I'm not sure how many teams will be doing that . Football's finances are in meltdown. Strange times. Also I think many people are too hung up on the Chelsea' Manu's and even Spurs, etc. Yes we are miles behind them and misery probably does await next season playing them (assuming we go up like!) but(especially with a bit of astute strengthening) we can certainly hold our own in the bottom half (not music to many folk's ears I realise but its how I see it).

 

I guess my basic point is negativity is the default setting for too many and when its vocalised in the media and at SJP it becomes one more problem. Acca Daccas defiant optimism is rare these days and he has a canny track record of accuracy - which is nice. Perhaps he can fill my long list in this weekend. Perhaps I should stir my lazy arse and post more often on here if I think I'm so bloody clever!

 

Oh and its three points off Preston and Nolan to score at some point. Acca would like that.

 

Cheers

Nice post

 

The battle weary will claim cynicism has rendered them unable to be positive, so negativity is all they have left. This is understandable tbf.

 

I like accadacca posts because they are honest and more importantly they are consistent, not just in that he says the same thing but as in consistent with his attitude.
