ajax_andy 0 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 My latest blog article about Newcastle United can now be viewed here: http://thenortheasthub.com/blog/trials-and-tribulations-of-nufc/ I reckon it'll cause a bit of debate so welcome any feedback and chat about it Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene_Clark 12 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 superficial, simplistic & broadly uncontentious; your target market isn't NUFC fans, who already know the club's history inside out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I didn't want to say it, but aye, that. "Where did it all go wrong?" then no mention of Keegan, Kinnear, Shearer, Ashley, llambias, Wise or at a lower level Milner or Xisco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steady on I can only have 500 words Wasn't really about what has gone wrong, it was more about saying actually you's are doing pretty well despite a habit of things going badly wrong from time to time, and how the club always seems to come back fighting no matter what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I know, I think it's fine for the non NUFC audience, but if you're going to be "the man in the North East" then, for example, most of us would not marvel at Krul adapting better than De Gea....because Krul has lived and trained and played in English football for 5 years before making the number 1 jersey his own. He had a lot less adapting to do this season. You're asking for reviews from a picky audience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30620 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I don't think that you're ever going to be able to go into depth on any subject with a 500 word limit to be honest. If that is your constraint then you're best off concentrating on one very specific point rather than a general analysis that things are going well.

ajax_andy 0 Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Cheers for the feedback I'll take it on board It's kind of supposed to be a general thing rather than indepth for just one clubs supporters to read, but I get what you's are saying that maybe this is a little too general and although it might be fine for other teams fans to read, I still need to make it in depth enough for the supporters of the club I'm writing about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10857 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Also, if you want to stand out, I'd try and be a bit more controversial. Halfway through a post about the relative successes of recent signings, call Richard Attenbrough a cunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
