Dinho lad Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I was quite shocked today. When we played Stoke at our place this season, they were the worst team I've seen us play for about 10 years, no exaggeration whatsoever. They had zero talent, zero ability, but they stuck at it and at least had spirit, and - undeservedly, admittedly - got a point. Then when we played Hull, they were very, very marginally less bad than Stoke were, but again, you could tell they had some spirit. They lost but you could tell it hurt, and they at least had a real go at us when they realised they had 20 mins left to get something from the game. Newcastle, however, totally different story, no spirit, no sign of fight, no struggle, not even in the second half, absolutely nothing whatsoever. Really quite shocking, they didn't even look that bothered at final whistle. That's the shame, the squad isn't very good, too many non performers, but on paper it looks way, way ahead of Stoke and Hull, but it is worth nothing without that element of fight and spirit. They've let you down massively, and the best thing you can hope for is to be rid of the majority of them. I told ya and you didn't believe me. We are really, really...really shit!

QBG Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I've tried to think of the positives, but there's obviously so many negatives. Here's what I came up with: Positives: Should be a clear out of players Summer might be exciting in terms of player movement unlike the rare news days from last year. We might (might) win some games next year! Being out of the spotlight will be of great benefit to everybody connected with the club. Cheaper tickets? More games (guess this could be a negative if we're still s***) A fresh start. Negatives: The loss of TV money The inevitable loss of players such as Bassong and Enrique Nicky Butt, Shola Ameobi, Kevin Nolan & Ryan Taylor will still be here. Us not being on MOTD! (get rid of this negative depending on what the Beeb's highlights package will be like) Relegated teams often take a long time to adapt to the ways of the Championship. The mackems are the only North East Club in the Premiership, if they have any sense they'll get themselves noticed in as many of the "50/50" areas of the North East and convert a few young minds. The longer we're down the more chance there is they will become a stronger proposition. And worst of all: We won't be on the next PES. s*** the bed, I hate football. That's why Fifa is the way forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 This all all Mike's fault, the man is a fucking curse of a sports fan. I'd resent that if there wasn't heaps of evidence. Sorry for asking this Mike, but are you actually American? Or just posing as an American...when your surname is in fact "Ashley" and your accent is decidedly South-East of Englandish? Nothing southern about my accent, GM. I tried the "I'm Mike Ashley!" gag in a thread once. Didn't even get a nibble iirc. I am sports poison, though. I will admit that.

merlin Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 This is the culmination of around 6 years of mismanagement and misdealing - in my view, relegation has been on the cards since KK walked and only anyone who imitated an ostrich failed to see it. The performance was typical of a bunch of uncaring, dysfunctional and untalented mercenaries, recruited by similarly untalented management, overseen by the King of chancers whose luck has finally run out big-time and whose failings have been massively exposed along with those of ALL his employess, Shearer apart. It will be quite a few years before the club are back in the top league, and probably after it has been sold to people who know how to manage their staff and have an idea of good business when it comes to football(Shepherd does NOT come into that category). All those who mocked we older fans for seeing this coming have now found out that being a NUFC fan involves plenty of humiliation and consumption of Humble Pie - and there will be plenty of that on offer over the next few years.... Let us hope that those who fall into that category are not saying similar things on this site(or others like it)in another 20 years' time, but I wouldn't bet against that happening.. The more things change, the more they stay the same at NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Looking at the goal again why did Duff had to pull his leg up to defend a shot going 30 yards away from the goal? i'm paranoid He wasn't to know that. I'm still fuming by how the lot of them collectively failed to close the shot down properly. Summed the whole season up, that lack of heart. They should have been steaming up to Barry and putting their bodies in the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest optimistic nit Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 i'm not actually feeling that depressed, a bit down, but we deserved to get relegated which is taking a lot of the sting out of it. it wasn't like we tried our hardest and just couldn't manage it, we've been shit all season, we haven't tried all season, the players dont care so fuck them quite frankly (with a few exceptions). we still get to watch the same team next season, for less money (per game anyway) for those fans who attend regulary, we'll hopefully win some games next season as well. of course its gutting to leave the premiership, but we'll hopefully be back soon and fingers crossed that the owen's, martin's, sholas's, barton's, colo's, nolan's etc... of this world end up at the clubs they deserve. we were relegated because we're shit, we should have been down a month ago and would have been in any other season.

hakka Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I can't help but feel that I've seen this day coming since the Jan transfer window shut. We had so many players like Owen, Barton, Beye etc. all out injured and we didn't spend the money from Milner, N'Zogbia and Given sales on some decent players to keep us up. Offering Ameobi a 3 year deal symbolises our total lack of ambition or ideas. Just hope we can clear out the shit and put together a side that can come straight back up next season. If we think it's shit now, imagine this time in 2010 if we failed to win promotion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 90% know they will move on due to relegation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 It took Man United 18 years from being relegated to being the best team in England. Anyone patient?
