What's the point in following football if you can't enjoy the good times?
The league position is bad enough (to endure) without people like you mocking those of us who find time to enjoy certain parts of this addiction.
FFS.
That's the point isn't it Mr Happy Clappy.
Signing a few players is no guarantee that good times are just around the corner. Especially when you limit yourself to one market because of its perceived value for money. MA has thrown the masses a few shiny trinkets to try and avoid relegation and suddenly everybody is losing sight of how we ended up in this position, where we are in the league and how the club is being run.
Enjoy the good times if and when they arrive. For now everybody who cares about NUFC would be well advised to keep their eye on the ball. It was complacency that got us into our current plight and complacency is the biggest threat to escaping relegation.
I think most here are fully aware of the plight we are in, but after signing 1 senior player in the summer the positive action of this week provides a lift for all.
If this doesn't excite you there's something wrong.
Aye, and it's called Mike Ashley.
I'm not going to waste my time explaining how he's playing the supporters for fools. Anyone who doesn't get it by now isn't going to get it until the end game arrives.
He's not going any time soon. If we go down then maybe, but if we stay up why would he?
Are you really going to carry on being downbeat about NUFC until he goes? Did you enjoy finishing 5th last year? There are loads of things I hate about what he's done here and yes 'a few signings' has changed my mood a lot, but frankly you have to take the positives whenever you can otherwise you'll end up spending a lot of your life unhappy. The summer just gone was an abomination, this is much more like it.
I'm struggling to understand what NUFC is anymore. When, for example, SJP was renamed the Sports Direct Arena you'd have expected the support to be up in arms. Tradition and identity are after all what defines what a football club is - they are the basis for its existence, the foundations of its character and meaning. The response to the clubs traditions being shit all over was a few grumbles before everyone rolled over like a troupe of spineless gimps. Hardly anybody cared enough to actually stand up for NUFC because they were too busy getting erections over our temporary league position. Results not identity were what mattered. It was a fucking disgrace and symptomatic of an attitude that is destroying football as a meaningful part of society.
NUFC is my club and I am not going to be swayed from caring about it being turned into meaningless billboard by a few desperation signings, or so called supporters who don't give a shit about anything other than league position. They should hang their heads in shame for being so shallow, or go and support MU.
We signed a few players out of desperation. If they prove to be half as good as is being made out we will be challenging for the title next season. If they bomb we will probably get relegated. I don't care much either way, it's just a tiny act on a far bigger and more important stage. The long term future of NUFC as more than a business is far more important.
One look at the dogs dinner MA has made of SJP proves beyond doubt the owner cares not one iota about NUFC. It's a relationship that is going to end badly...for NUFC. Posting pictures of semen isn't going to make any difference.
