aimaad22 4049 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Im gutted. Never really expected to win against chelski but deep down one always hopes for a miracle doesnt he?? I dont think the true implications of last night's defeat have sunk in yet, an era has virtually come to an end at Newcastle. The Shearer era is over, perhaps the greatest player in our history is going to leave us with no silverware. That goes some way in showing how we've underachieved over the last few years. People can say what they like about shearer, and how he is past it and has become a liability. No doubt he's not what he used to be, but the sad fact is that we've had one of the greatest strikers of all time play in his prime for us and we've failed to take advantage. What will it take for us to start fulfilling our potential?? There is nothing more I would have liked to see than shearer lift a trophy this season. The great man has come and gone. Watching the game I realised how much work we still have to put in if we are to win a trophy next year or even in the next three years. There little doubt that a trophy's the only thing thats going to get the club going finally. But how far are we from one?? Miles far I think, we dont have the quality or the required set-up yet. This summmer is going to be one of the most crucial ones in our history, it will decide whether we make the jump up to the elite of english football, or get stuck in the misery of mid table mediocrity for the considerable future. We have the basis for a great team, and yet a few hasty decisions could see us fall apart completely. Boy is the next manager going to play an important role in our long term future. So pray lads, and hope that for once Fat Fred gets us the right man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 43946 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I fully expected defeat last night, so when it happened it was more a confirmation of expectations than any huge let-down. Ah well, there's always next season. Again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well, there's always next season. Again. 109481[/snapback] I wasn't that bothered. Defeat was expected, it's saved me a lot of money and the heart break of being beat in the semis or final. Shearer himself seemed pretty philosophical about the whole thing. I agree it is effetively the end of an era though. I just hope the next one is more successful, certainly in terms of trophies, but as ever I'm skeptical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Could well have been/ should have been Shearer but we only had one season of him at his best. And that is a fact I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
