^ Our par is most definitely 8th then.

You would say that There's a breed on here who want to engage in relentless OTT bed pissing then get salty when it's pointed out to them how ridiculous they sound. More shaming pls. It's the only chance we have of making the forum bearable after any setback.

Hope they reproduce this one at some point, I have a fake one and it's so lush: Would like to see this one too:

Just yet another unprecedented NUFC achievement for the useless fuck.

4 wins and a draw in our last 6 btw.

best post made in here in months.

Subjective innit. Can't speak for everyone but I'll speak for myself... I tend to jump in when I feel the criticism is OTT or Howe is being hit with cheap shots. When you're talking about someone who has led us to so much success and with such class, then yeah I'm gonna defend that bloke to the hilt when people are talking utter shit about him. Anyone who wants a moan in here and wants to ignore context, judge him far more harshly than the rest of the managers in the league - fine. But I'm gonna push back and often mock them in the process, I don't see what it is about their 'arguments' that deserve better.

Mostly fair but "performed poorly in most of our games this season, became very dull to watch" is a stretch. Where are all of these other PL sides blowing away every side they face with scintillating football every week? And if there aren't (m)any of them then why is Howe being held to that standard, especially with the challenges he's faced?

The relegation gets mentioned plenty. You'd think our own fans would know better but there are plenty of sad acts waiting around for any setback to jump on it with glee. Howe did an outstanding job at Bournemouth - he had them competing well in the PL for 5 years, getting them up from the 4th division. To focus on an unfortunate relegation like it proves anything, after all he achieved there, is pathetic.

Any of our own fans still using Bournemouth's relegation as a stick to beat Howe with They were second bottom of League Two when he first took over, i.e. 91st in the country. From 91st to 16th in the PL, then 9th, 12th, 14th and yes 18th, getting relegated on goal difference. Bournemouth's ground holds 11k people, they are a historically tiny club who had no business being there. And he clearly left them in a decent enough spot given their PL presence afterwards. His tenure at Bournemouth was a miraculous success and he had them there playing good football, ripping up the route one style of successful newly promoted sides before them. It's been 4 years, 1 trophy, 2 CL campaigns, some of our best moments ever supporting this club yet some still sneer at him like Steve Bruce did because his journey wasn't as glamorous as you'd like. Good company, lads.

Embarrassing low for the 'support' that king of diplomacy Eddie Howe feels the need to make those comments.

Not sure how caught up you are but the last one was Wissa.

Exactly this. We're both monsters.

kin el, Gaucho isn't even that near the ground. Just checked and 10 min walk. Not that bad but hardly around the corner.

I'm not. The way you talk about Man Utd it has me wishing Newcastle was ran so superbly and wondering why you don't win the quadruple every year You're a lot better than Kaka though. OK see yous later.

I'm obviously an oddball cos the kit was the only thing I was interested in got the home one on sale recently and was impressed by the quality and fit. Would be interested to find out the amount of stock that was made for each item, not that we ever will.

There's a massive demographics issue, most of SJP is essentially: You can't take tickets off people and society is set up these days so older people have all the disposable income anyway. It's not an easy problem to solve. Dread to think what Howe's honest opinion is on how increasingly flat the atmosphere has become. It's probably been a major selling point to signings as well.

He's already had one shit experience at a big club, that's probably in his head. We all know his limitations but he's nowhere near this bad.

The East Stand lives and breathes to slag off Elanga and Murphy, think it's the only thing keeping some of them alive.

Aye those comments will be all over the media all week now.

No idea how it's all split tbh but yeah that's another factor.

Think the profit margins are so absurdly large on these things they must be making a decent profit per item even when they're heavily discounted later on. If it's such a no-brainer to release them in this way that creates artificial scarcity then why wouldn't they go the whole hog and do it with kits, training gear etc? Not that I think they should of course, I just think this model is daft AF and it seems extremely debatable they make more money off it.
