McCormick Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Not this season, i don't think, after crashing out of the carling cup... but i've always wondered whether, in this lifetime (and i'm still relatively young) i will ever see a newcastle captain raising a trophy for us. Guess that separates newcastle fans from the glory-hunters... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I dont think we will. I think we are destined to be trophyless for an awful long time. Just dont believe that luck ever shines on us enough to take us all the way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jamesmartinsmith Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I'm only 18 and I've already given up hope, nevertheless, I love this club and will continue to support it. The Arsenal game summed it up for me the other day. Look at these young players they acquire, they are incredible they can be some of the best in the world. Diarra was my man of the match he cost £2 million, we wasted £6 million on Alan Smith. Barton and Enrique are relatively young but it seems stupid Sam is only interested in signing players who have got 2 or 3 years left in them. This transfer policy is not sustainable, we need good young players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bluegeordie Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I've supported us for over a quarter of a century now, but somehow (and notwithstanding a mask of cynical defeatism) I've managed to retain the capacity for self delusion, to the point where I actually expect us to win a trophy within the next 5 years. In fact, believe it or not, I feel so confident that in an instant I'd be prepared to put 1,000 quid on us doing so at odds of, say, 3/1. Indeed, I'd even be tempted if that time span was shortened to 3 years, and the odds offered were reduced to 2/1. While I'm in confessional mode, the depths of my insanity are such that every year for over a decade now, and no matter what logic might tell me, I haven't been able to resist putting wagers (however modest) on us winning the League / Carling Cup, the FA Cup, the EUFA Cup (when applicable), the Champions League (when applicable), and even the truest test of a team's quality - the EPL itself (however, in my defence, I should mention that these have all taken the form of individual bets, and not an accumulator)! Oh, and before anyone tells me, I know - I seriously need professional help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karjala Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I'm 25, and i reckon we wont. Pretty much every season, we get our hopes up, then usually put in an absolute stinker of a performance and thats the end of it.

Well, you listed two players he's signed who are young plus Smith who's 27, and then there's Rozenhal so I thought you refuted your own argument rather nicely re: the stupid transfer policy of the manager. As well as somewhat writing off the much needed experience that the other signings added to the backline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
