Ketsbaia Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 That is just tragic to read Successful owners wouldn't let their club have a summer like ours. It's driving me crazy that we've had a phenomenal 2011-12 and are now wasting it by not building a great squad. It's not financial issues, it's just utter stupidity.

Wullie Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Chances on improving on last season's finish are pretty much nil. Plenty people will be happy with a 7th or 8th placed finish, that's the worst thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Fuck this fucking club. Always fucking letting us down when it comes to the crunch. Love the players and everything, but we never even bother trying to progress beyond good deals. Nothing is ever done for our greater good. Fucking arseholes.

BONTEMPI Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Pardew is their puppet after all so he'd say nowt. If players end up wanting out and results start to slip, he's going to feel the pressure big style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Cheer the fuck up you miserable bastards. We still have a squad that is very similar to the one that finished fifth last year. Have some fucking faith in Pardew and the lads! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 You'd think people would have learned after last summer with some of the over-reactions again. Problem is, having finished 5th and talking up finishing in the top 4 this season. We are not going to do that without 2 or 3 senior players coming in. That is the frustration, its there for us to have a good go at it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 By the way every time there have been rumours about players leaving, the club have clearly told all of the local journalists that there have been no offers. Have we really done that well to retain our good players if there have been no bids to turn down? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Had accepted this about a week ago, so not too upset. But it's so frustrating that we can almost directly attribute poor runs of form last season to lack of depth and striker and in the back four and we haven't done anything to improve that.

Jayson Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 The reactions are utterly bizarre man. Everyone go back to August 2011 & review your posts. It may not go aswell as last season, but atleast entertain the idea that this isnt a complete disaster. You'd have thought Pards would have gained some trust by now.
