AliGupter Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 The highs are very high and the lows are very low. When have the highs been very high? The lows are lower than any other football club on the planet, the highs are moderate at best. depending on your age, we've had a few title challenges, a few cup finals/charity shield, a few runs in the champions league, other european football often, broke a world record which led to shearer scoring 206 goals to break another record. forgive my positivity but i love all that s***. I remember all that yes, and I loved them at the time, but no way were the highs then as high as the lows are low at the minute, the only thing that is as high as a relegation is low, is winning a trophy, which I have never seen, the lows have very much outweighed the highs in my lifetime, and I've been supporting Newcastle almost 20 years...

Guest The Libertine Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Lows outweight Highs by miles. really? looking purely at the highs in my lifetime i get this... keegan era - probably unbeatable in every way. breathtaking if you lived through it at a decent age. dalglish era - 2nd place finish, champions league run, beating barca 3-2, fa cup final. gullit era - fa cup final. robson era - second only to keegan in terms of success and great memories. then it gets a bit shit bar the odd moment every now and again. I'm shocked that you've listed Gullit and Dalglish as highs. The FA cups were just prime examples of almost-highs followed by earth shattering lows. I am no longer interest in 'the ride', 15 years of it must have shortened by lifespan. i havent listed them as highs. ive listed what i consider to be highs during their time here. as for the cup finals its the brilliant cup runs to get to the final as well as the cup final experience as a whole that im thinking of.

Right now I can't find the energy to have my life revolve around NUFC like it's been doing for as long as I can remember. Whenever I read any kind of news about the club it just makes me want to puke. I feel like I'm watching a close relative die of cancer. I'd follow this club to the Unibond League if I had to, but arguably what we're being put through this summer is far worse than even an additional relegation. How am I supposed to support a club with no owner, no manager, and no players who want to be here? If that makes me a bad fan, oh well, whatever.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I've almost reached the same point as oldtype, there's just nothing to get into at the moment. I imagine when the season starts I'll just start following as usual, but at the moment I'm just trying to forget about the whole thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shouldn't come into it though, it's an emotional attachment to the club itself, not any individual at the club, the players, managers, owners come and go. The club will always be there.

Yorkie Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Lows outweight Highs by miles. Meaning that when the highs do come around, it's absolutely sensational - which is why i'm a bit undecided. 'Sometimes' is a fucking ridiculous option to have and a total cop out if you've selected it... of course it's sometimes good, it's sometimes shit. On the whole, in my lifetime - it's been pretty garbage being a Newcastle fan. There was the three-year spell under Bobby which was mint, but unfortunatley i'm a couple years too late to remember the first Keegan days. Meaning for me personally, it's been a bit rubbish. I wouldn't change it for anything though. I clicked no cos at the moment especially, it's made me either depressed or apathetic; this summer takes the biscuit, it was meant to be the most exciting period in recent summers (new squad clear-out, new manager, etc etc). It's got to be a No at the moment. But i know that when we do achieve something fantastic, i know it'll feel about a million times better than ManU winning even a quadruple.

Guest BooBoo Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 It's been quite some time since supporting the club has been a pleasant experience for me. The last five years have been more like endurance, with the odd bright spark along the way. I love meeting up on matchday for a drink and a laugh with the lads but the 90 minutes of football experience has been poor since the days of Robson.

Love going to the match, but not for the actual match itself anymore. More to catch up with people and the rest of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
