I don't think they're going to be up there battling for trophies, but I don't think they'll be scrapping it out at the bottom. And with Kevin Keegan at the helm, they have the potential to challenge for a European spot. the only decent pundit on it tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Too many pundits have got swept up in the tabloid stories of unrest, Keegan being 'under fire'. He's second favourite to get the sack first FFS! Le Tiss is nearer the mark than most of them on this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is right in one respect though, we are not going to be struglling at the bottom of the table, like some have suggested, we'll be firmly in the middle, no danger of going down but unless we get our act together over the next few weeks and make some purchases, not going to trouble the euro hopefulls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guinness Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Nice to hear someone talk about us in a positive way for a change, so far every Premiership preview has us struggling. It's possibly a good thing that no one expects a lot from us, hopefully other teams think the same and we can surprise a few people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Nice to hear someone talk about us in a positive way for a change, so far every Premiership preview has us struggling. It's possibly a good thing that no one expects a lot from us, hopefully other teams think the same and we can surprise a few people. It can work both ways, a lot of teams in the past, especially at St James, have shown us too much respect, they've sat back and hoped to get a draw or sneak a win. That's sometimes worked in our favour, I think Everton for example are a team that comes up to Newcastle hoping for a result rather than expecting one. Villa last season, with a bit more ambition could have easily wlaked away with 3 points. However some teams, like Portsmouth last year have woken up to the reality that SJP is not the fortress it once was, they showed us very little respect and got their rewards. If teams come to SJP and try to win the game, thinking we are a soft touch, then it'll surely raise the entertainment factor, we might win the odd game we would have drawn in previous seasons but some teams will be rewarded which would worry me as we've always been very relient on our home form.

Guest Heneage Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Far prefer we are seen as bottom half, that means anything further is a plus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly enough i reckon the bigger clubs i.e the top four come to Newcastle expecting a tough game regardless of form and ability etc. It's because of this that we can often gets spanked off the big clubs, it's as if they double their effort. I suspect next season we might be able to suprise a few sides and give teams around us the odd hiding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
