Monroe Transfer 0 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 The stupid thing is, with the very bare minimum of foresight, this year could have been very different. I think we'd have been in a better position if we'd done the right thing and sacked McClaren after the Chelsea game. No doubt McClaren convinced them that a few days in the sun, learning from a master tactician like himself and putting in a performance to beat the mighty Lillestrom in a friendly would all lead to a change in our fortunes. If anything we've been worse since then and it's too late for Rafa to fix it tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) I'm bothered. I've been moping around the house in a right mood since the match Was far more bothered last year but I think that was because it always seemed more likely that not that we'd stay up until the last couple of matches. I remember thinking every week "just one more win and we'll be alright", only to be let down several games in a row - but we did manage to take it all the way to the final game of the season. Now it is looking pretty terminal in terms of our chances even with a few weeks to go, it's a lot less nerve-racking. I still care but I'm pretty apathetic about it all nowadays. Life's too short to let these twats get me down, if it's anything like the last relegation numbness will be the overriding feeling if/when relegation is confirmed.

Slayer 3 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 What's fuckin shit is that our 8 or so game relegation scrap is over with 7 games to go. Rafa may aswell go now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21302 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Win 5 or 6 out of our next 7 and we survive. Maybe we'll do that. Maybe I'll flap my arms and fly to the moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2828 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I've never seen our defence so scared. None of them have any confidence. Mbemba in particular just looks awful. It takes a particularly pervasive lack of mental strength to stand out as the 'guy who might actually shit himself' alongside Steven Taylor and Vernun Anita.

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 It looked like Taylor was the coward who turned his back for the second and for the third,again Janmaat didn't fancy defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 34093 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 A positive is that not going to the games will have a much bigger impact in the Championship. Please, stay the fuck away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 When we see what shite we are left with and the probable shite we bring in,not attending will probably be somewhat attractive next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 20421 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Again though, last time round it was much more enjoyable in the championship. Also, our certainty of relegation came after the S/T deadline. We'll get 45k regularly next season. The season after..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 42647 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Anyone that keeps turning up to have the piss taken out of them....honestly, they are fucking morons. The players have taken the piss almost as much as Ashley this season. "Here you go, have my several hundred pounds minimum, Mr Ashley." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 20421 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Not this shit again. You're not a moron if you enjoy it, any more than you're a moron for posting on an nufc board and criticise people for attending. I'll be going to the derby as a minimum next year probably.

Gemmill 42647 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I can and I do. By turning up despite everything, they send two messages. One that Newcastle fans are mindless morons, and the other that what Ashley is doing is ok. The first of those has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt at this stage.

Point 1 is shite for the reasons stated. Point is also shite. I don't think either of us was impressed with shepherd towards the end. Didn't stop either of us going.

trooper 940 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 The lack of free worldwide tv advertising every couple of weeks will hurt him. As for playing in the Championship I don't think this squad has the gonads that Carroll,Barton,Nolan etc had Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 42647 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Shepherd was an entirely different kettle of fish. The comparison is idiotic tbh. This bloke is presiding over his second relegation, and if we somehow avoid it, it'll be yet another relegation battle that he's presided over. All the while turning the club into an advertising hoarding for his shitty sports shops. Shepherd was incompetent, but he wanted success for the club. This bloke just wants free advertising, Premiership survival and a quiet life from the fans. The attenders are complicit in that quiet life.

trooper 940 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 There should be hell over this instead of the complete apathy, this guy has sold the club down the river. I'm hearing is "it was great last time in the Championship" well it was because we had a team that had heart & passion who wanted to win & cared about the club. Most of this lot will be kicking the gates down at SJP come the final whistle against Spurs. Rather than come straight back up I think we could do a Middlesbrough or worse.

Howay 12496 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 We'll come straight back up, there's plenty players in the squad that look hopeless in the Prem and wont attract buyers but will do well in the Championship. We also have youth like Armstrong, Aarons, and Bigirimana who will also do well (Armstrong in particular imo). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Our relegation won't hurt Sports Direct that much anyway, having little foreign orphan kids stitch Lonsdale socks at his warehouse is already doing enough damage. The snakey cunt on the news in his little hi-vis vest when Sports Direct is suffering makes me smile. He's in the middle of a two pronged shit storm, and he can't go to war with his Sports Direct critics and deliberately antagonise them like he did with us. He's squirming and I love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I thought he had one more? I thought I'd read he had 18 months left in January, could have been another player mind. I'm assuming the post by Essembee was aimed at me? If so the players we have in the current squad that look hopeless now but will do well down there are ones like Taylor, Lascelles, Dummett, Colback, Townsend, Riviere (possibly, haven't seen enough of him to be fair), possibly Obertan and Gouffran, I'm not saying it'll be riveting stuff but I'm confident we'll come back up it's a shite league.
