Skeletor Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Yeah I hit rock bottom when Souness was appointed. That was the death of my optimism regarding the club for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 This season, every point picked up and every goal scored will be a massive fuck off to the media. I think we will surpise a lot of people & teams this season and make some good progress. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 When it was announced SOuness was manager my heart sank. He lived up to everything id imagined would happen. I thought he would get us relegated so at least my worst fears didn't materialise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdm Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 iam quite positive but would be very positive when we get a creative midfielder and another striker in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliMag Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 iam quite positive but would be very positive when we get a creative midfielder and another striker in Well we're halfway there. Apparently we've signed "Putty CUSTARD" as a striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Good post. There's still nee f***ing way we're beating Man United though. Maybe not. A slight hunch I have. Fingers crossed. Wouldn't it be great though. What a big fuck off to everyone that would be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 good post but Robert wasn't an unknown to anyone who followed football beyond the epl. Sadly a lot of the dickheads at SJP will think Coloccini's a unknown Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 good post but Robert wasn't an unknown to anyone who followed football beyond the epl. Sadly a lot of the dickheads at SJP will think Coloccini's a unknown And it matters does it. If he plays well, who cares if people know how many caps for Argentina he has? Good post by HTT but unfortunately i don't believe in omens and all that, "it happened like this then, so it must happen like this now" sorta stuff. The signing comparisons, then and now, for one thing are daft. That's not to say i'm pessimistic about our future though, i'm very excited long-term. The only real worries that i need quelling are whether or not we're going to be playing 4-3-3, and how long it'll take the first teamers to get properly match fit. Player recruitment, club stability, in-club relations, and all the other common worries - i'm fine with. Just them two things i pointed out. We'll have a good season, 8th or 9th.

That's life. Most of us knew that with Given's goalkeeping style it wouldn't last much beyond 30, and injuries have also taken their considerable toll.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 agree with all predictions except Given returning to form, no chance, whatsoever For the first time in his Newcastle career he has a fight on his hands to get into the team. Don't underestimate what a fresh challenge can mean to a player whose game has been effected mostly by succumbing to the mediocrity around him. I.e. Shearer post Sir Bobby. I predict a similar turn around in form for Given. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict a similar turn around in form for Given. There is no fight, unfortunately he'll walk right back into the first team. Everyone knows he's a big cry baby when it comes to sitting on the bench and KK will succumb like every manager before him. I would feel totally confident with Harper in goal and feel like it should be his shirt to lose but we know Given won't stand for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair what do you want him to do,be happy to sit on the bench? I would be happier if he was upset not getting in to the team! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Shay came in and didn't perform too well, he'd be dropped, same applies to all outside of the strikers, unless the went a full season without a goal of course....
