I think people overestimate how good out team/squad is.

 

I'd say we arguably have the worst goalkeeper (excluding Krul who won't play again this season), the worst back 4, the worst central midfield and possibly, potentially a mid table strike force.

 

Agree with this .

Lawrie Sanchez must be getting sick like, he's definitely had the NUFC job about five times now.

 

I imagine his wife once again telling him sadly 'Get the suitcase out of the Astra, Lawrie, it's off again'.

Aye, lots of s*** about internationals and "quality".  The important things out on the pitch we consistently can't do: 1. defend 2. score. All this talk of quality - nothing suggests we have the quality in those areas to turn it around or a midfield to greatly contribute.

 

We have a bottom 6/8 team at best. Lots of people were happy with our transfer dealings and thought top 8 was realistic. Never was.

Reading the comments on the Chronics twitter we have fans who genuinely believe they are all top quality. One even thinks Ashley isnt to blame and its all SMC :lol:

I have come to the point where i do not believe a manager change would help us at all.

 

The club is rotten to the core. Newcastle United is merely a shell of it former self.

There are absolutely no winning culture, no standards, no demand or goals set from the top that will manifest itself from top to bottom.

 

When you add that there is no natural leaders in the squad to the list above, there are simply no spine left in the club, nothing holding it together.

 

As long as Ashley and the sorry excuse of a MD is in charge there will be no light in the end of the tunnel.

 

There is a cancer in the club, desperate times calls for desperate measures.

Not sure where people get this strong team thing from like. Our most recent signings are completely unproven. Our centre mid just gets ran past on a whim. Our best players turn up once in every 5 games and our squad is thinner than a knats tadger. People are so afraid of being perceived as negative they gloss everything.

Never going to happen.  Not a chance in hell Keegan would work for Ashley, or that Ashley would even entertain the idea.  But I thought it was a good read nonetheless. 

 

Say what you like about Durham and that awful show of his on Talksport.  But this isn't the first time I have read an article from him, which is different to the usual bollocks about us in the media.  He does mention the 'expectations', though.  I'm not sure the fans expect much nowadays. 

 

I'm sure he was one of the only ones that had a dig at Pardew during his time here and all.  Despite how he is on his wind up phone in show.  I think he's actually a pretty decent journo and he knows his stuff.

Anybody that stood up to Ashley either left or was moved on quickly...  That's why we have no leaders, they are all meek do as you are told people and this is why the club is on its arse end. 

 

In a business you need people to challenge each other and set goals.

 

The goals from Ashley are maintain league status, nothing more and nothing less.  If I was a player I would find it hard to motivate myself.

Three steps forward?  When did this happen?  Did I miss it?!

He thought they had turned the corner after the Bournemouth game :lol:

GYBE's Dead Flag Blues should just start playing whenever I begin to read an article about the club.

There have been many but this is possibly one if not the most depressing season I can remember.

 

Relegation season was way, way worse.

 

That was pretty bad but for how awful it was, we still nearly stayed up.  This has been 3 seasons in the making and nothing has been changed to avoid this.

Sure is.

 

Last season was like loosing your job, house and wife, and left wandering the streets.  Then this season, oh things are looking up! I've found a bottle of Cider! Then unscrew the bottle and take a big swig.  Tramps PISS!
