TicTacWoe 0 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I predicted we'd come 7th-8th and think that was one of the more optimistic predictions at the time. I don't think anyone predicted us to challenge for the champions league places. By far and away the biggest factor in this season's success has been how quickly and brilliantly the new signings have settled and performed. Every one of them apart from poor old Obertan have been fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33857 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 We sold our two top goalscorers. No idea if we'd adequately replace them with other goalscorers. I'm very surprised, (and very happy to admit it), that I got my knickers in a twist about fuck all. The team has kicked on and that is the main thing. Very well done to all involved including the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawD 99 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Aye. Here as well. Like most I was slating the actions of the club. It's hard not to some around some when you're sitting in 4th. Nice to be wrong sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4835 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Aye, nobody saw this coming. As someone said, they way the new signings have fitted in has been great, but the recruitment team deserve lots of credit for the type of players we've brought in as well. Not fancy dans like Gervinho etc but players that have quality and are happy to get stuck in and work. In parallel to that you also have to give Pardew and the coaches massive credit for getting so much out of Players like Rtaylor and Perch. One wit in the Leazes (not me) did try and tongue in cheek version of "one Mike Ashley"....... it didnt catch on. Its just a shame the season has to end in a couple of weeks.

I've never been more happy to be proven so wrong. I didn't think it was possible to challenge where we are without an Arab and around £200-£300 Mill outlay, which obviously was out of the question, it's surreal tbh. I read a post somewhere this evening which said, what Pardew's getting out of our "ordinary" players is Clough-esque, it's not far wrong. Not anointing him as such mind, but this season has been just terrific and wouldn't have been sniffed at by Mr C.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoog 0 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I'm kind of at the crossroads where I'm thinking 'Has it all been a fluke?', 'Have other teams just been shit?' or 'Has the plans of Mike Ashley actually come to fruition?'. As I've said before I still don't sit happily with the current regime due to my hatred of Derek Llambias and past indescretions... however, I can't knock what's been achieved and the amazing job done by the playing staff and the management team (ie, the coaching and scouting staff). For a change it's a great time to be a Newcastle United supporter, I admit I still have that gremlin in the back of my mind say "Just wait til the summer transfer window again" but I never thought we'd be where we are this season. The only criticism I have is that by getting rid of one man Mike Ashley could win me back but he just can't see past the speccy wanker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 22168 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Surreal is the right word. I keep finding myself day dreaming about the champions league. When you look at the league and the recent form, we're favourites for 4th. Unbelievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman02uk 0 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 send a slice over here, I said we'd come somewhere around 12th and I'd be happy with 17th, even my avatar sums out how i was feeling at the start of this season infact, dont send a slice, I'll just have a whole one to myself and you know what, I'm LOVING IT!
