mrmojorisin75 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 agree in principle, just hope the twin downers of potential thin-squad decimation and JFK aren't enough to turn us into a total circus (again) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I don't see the excitement of Scott Sinclair, always looked an average footballer to me. Maybe - but that's the type of player the club will sign now... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 need some positivity man, well played Just look at our side in general, think about our players, think about our potential starting 11 even if we didn't sign anyone but kept everyone, how many teams would you swap it for? Norwich/Swansea/Southampton? (These are the ones everyone keeps banging on about). Last season was a complete write off, yes Pardew made a lot of mistakes last year, the players never had a run of confidence, we seem to brush of the fact we did have a lot injuries and the Europa league was a distraction regardless if different players played Thursday/Sunday, we brush this off as Pardew pointed this out to be a problem so we say it's an excuse. I don't see how anyone looking out our team strongly believes we won't be near top 10, personally i have no doubt we will be in it, i can't see us hitting the heights of 5th but with our team as it stands, it's still a fucking good one nonetheless. Couple of signings would be nice to give us all a massive boost, we don’t expect anything from Man City so as long as we don’t get a tanking we have the fixtures to get off to a very good start then from there on anything is possible once good momentum and confidence is flowing.

Guest Phil K Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I don't see the excitement of Scott Sinclair, always looked an average footballer to me. Maybe - but that's the type of player the club will sign now... If we sign anyone at all. Also: Carr signs attractive players and we give them to a pair of pillocks who couldn't find work in the bottom 2 divisions before Ashley offered them a Prem club. It never ceases to amaze me. Pardew and Kinnear. BRENTFORD wouldn't give them the job they've got at Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I have to applaud the people on here with any shred of positivity or hope for the coming season, they are clearly better supporters than me. I just can't get myself the slightest bit excited for what is a complete mess and shambles of a club. From top to bottom, the whole place stinks, lessons are never learned season after season and I really struggle to find any kind of enjoyment out of NUFC these days. It just all reeks of total amateurish, penny pinching rubbish. Thank god for this place though, and it is great to see fans still with a bit of excitement and hope. I just hope my interest can come back once that cunt of an owner fucks off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 It is a bit worrying that S'hampton/Norwich/Swansea/L'pool are dropping big figures on players to improve their squads. I know a number of ours are on decent wages. But Cisse was the last player we spent 10m+ to sign. I don't want us to waste money but we do need to invest. Everybody else is stepping it up.

madras Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I look at our players and think we need one player (forward to play around cisse) to have a very good team and a decent bench with everyone fit (if a bit short after that). last season we were massively disjointed ,pardews fault till ba left, then with remy falling through and aubameyang bid turned down it left us that position short and trying things to cover it that didn't work.

LRD Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Has anyone worked out with the new sky deal, sponsorship and other income what sort of a budget we should have ? it must be at least £20 million You get an extra £20-40 million from the improved tv deal alone. That's how those 'lesser' clubs are spending their way so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope my interest can come back once that c*** of an owner f***s off. I wouldn't say it's clearly better supporters, but it's sad to read that the life of Newcastle United inside of you is being drained away and i can certainly see why. Ashley is a cunt, i'll back almost any manager underneath him (not JFK) as i can't begin to think what a fucking struggle it must be with him as boss, one of the main reasons why i backed Pardew to stay was simply because i don't trust the cunt in the slightest to bring in anyone which wouldn't cause a bigger stir. On the flip side of things though, actually on the pitch, considering we were in the championship just a few year ago, we have built up a side filled with quality, if we can get a couple of nice signings in, obviously a top winger/striker would be a joy, actually on the pitch there isn't much we have to be too concerned about and for that i'm actually genuinely looking forward to entering SJP again come the start of the season.

Dr.Spaceman Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I'm feeling disheartened as well, but some of the reasons people are giving are totally laughable. So fucking what if Southampton and Norwich etc are paying ridiculous money for slightly above average players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnonel Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 As always, im excited by next season. And I honestly believe, that we will knock it out the park this season. Ben Arfa to play 80% of all games. Cisse will come good (20 goals), and team will finish top 8. *hides* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look again at the sides you have quoted - yes, we may have better players but lets be honest - most of us would swap Pardew for at least 2 of those teams' manager. You can have all the decent players you want - and we are far from perfect throughout the side - but if you have a crap manager its just a waste of talent. Pardew is still here and even if he goes, we are unlikely to get a half-decent replacement unless Ashley has worked something out with, say, Poyet. Kinnear doesn't count....

Pardew is still here and even if he goes, we are unlikely to get a half-decent replacement unless Ashley has worked something out with, say, Poyet. Kinnear doesn't count.... We sacked Hughton and Pochettino has done fuck all as a manager as far as i'm concerned. Oh so he came in and played some pretty football when Adkins was sacked, got a few decent results and finished safely. Jury is still out on him, he's splashing the cash, just paid something like 13 million for a bloke from the SPL, lets all panic. Not saying Pardew is the one, like ive stated previously, i just don't trust Ashley to bring anyone else in who wouldn't cause this forum to go into meltdown (not that it takes much). I'm happy we have kept him on, im willing to write off last season, he's had one good/one bad and next season is where he should be evidently judged. Saying that, he could finish 5th again yet still people would say it's a fluke, or it's Pardew so we want him out. No matter what he does a section of fans will always hate him, each to their own.
