There's definitely a curse at this club!

 

We know some of our injuries are down to piss poor coaching and fitness work from the people who run this club, combined with rushing back players who aren't ready and playing people with injuries instead of having them operated on...but the number of freak injuries we get and injuries out of nowhere to players who invariably have never had anything like it at previous clubs is frightening!

 

 

NUFC's injury list over the last 10 years has been amazing, I can't think of one season where we weren't right up there in injuries.

 

Season after season its the same.

 

Other clubs get bad seasons or parts of seasons but for NUFC a "good" season is one with at least one very important first team player out long term and 4-5 other players out on a shorter term basis.

It is a joke.

 

 

We seem to get all the bad managers, luck, wasters, shit defenders,shit tea ladys and injuries in the world

Leave the tea ladies out of it. It's not their fault Portly Freddie gets the cheap tea bags from Aldi.

NEWCASTLE United goalkeeper Tim Krul faces between four and six weeks on the sidelines after undergoing an operation on his injured knee on Tuesday night.

 

The Dutch starlet had to be carried from the Vicarage Road field after suffering a torn cartilage as he went through a training session ahead of the Magpies' Carling Cup victory over The Hornets.

 

He was taken to the BUPA Hospital in Bushey where he underwent an op before returning back to Tyneside on Wednesday. Special thanks from Newcastle go to Bob McKenney, consultant orthopeadic surgeon.

 

Krul, who was not due to be involved against Aidy Boothroyd's team with penalty shoot-out hero Steve Harper between the posts and Pavel Srnicek on the bench, made a magnificent senior debut the previous week in the 1-0 UEFA Cup victory away to Italian Serie A title-chasers Palermo.

 

Manager Glenn Roeder told nufc.co.uk: "As he proved in Palermo, Tim is a very highly promising young goalkeeper.

 

"He's had an operation and we think he will be out for between four and six weeks. There is absolutely no need to rush him back too soon."

Get the witch doctor back! Didnt we have one come around to try and rid the club of this curse ages ago or am i just going bonkers?

 

Gullit definitely got somebody like that or a white witch to come in as he believed their was a curse on the club...and lets be honest their is, its the "curse of the Shepherd"!!!
