If we get Gomis as well i would say we have done better. They have a much bigger squad size and more strength in depth, but we have the better starting 11 imo.

 

Do they? they have bought loads but that's because they had to as the squad was ridiculously small and sold some players.

 

I still wouldn't swap our bench options for theirs, especially if we sign Gomis and a LW.

Our bench would currently look like this: Anita, Mbiwa, Gouffran, Tiote, Dummett/Haidara, Jonas, Elliot

 

 

 

:lol: Look at you pretending that there aren't going to be at least 2 Ameobi's on that bench, and thinking Jonas isn't the first name on the teamsheet.

How long do we give this one marra's?

 

No apostrophe needed there mate

 

Good evening marra, I trust the 0-3 scoreline has assisted in maintaining absurd levels of hubris in Funkytown - perhaps your beloved club may even attain that top six finish which has proved so elusive since the cinematic release of 'Rebel Without A Cause'.

 

I wonder if loveable Craig has deigned to mention in his book that he once kicked a young female student in the face? With regard to the Wearside collective, let's not forget that Peter Reid was showered with abuse and warm lager despite leading SAFC to their highest league finish for over 40 years, or those witty chants of 'He's nearly dead' in relation to Bobby Robson. A lot of them will deny it now but it's the truth.

the subtlety of the username.  I like it.

 

Should be banned for that alone.

Still when you think about it rationally, for them to have had that brief, fortuitous moment in the sun after two or three decades of participating in Britain's most one sided local derby, it really must have felt like "Heaven".

I don't think anyone pretends Peter Reid wasn't abused at the end, in fact I know nobody does. There was a thread discussing it just last week on RTG. He's never made out to be some sort of old sweet, grandfather/demi-God of our club either. He's pretty much roundly thought of as a bloke who gave us our best times in decades (not hard LOL) by being half decent but who essentially did so with a lot of luck/flukes. His incompetence in certain areas then dismantled it all. He was then turned on after a 17th placed finish.

 

This is not really the case with NUFC fans who never ever seem to acknowledge that they hounded Robson out of SJP, it wasn't a mavericks decision by Shepherd and co. He was spat on in the late 80s as well for not picking Keegan.

 

I can't remember the "He's nearly dead" chants about SBR at the SOL but I do remember the ones about him wetting himself and spending Saturday's, er, doing something. Joined in as well I did at the time  :undecided:.

 

Football fans in distasteful shocker. It's not really a big shock.

 

The key is, that it's admitted in theses instance (SAFC-Reid and SAFC-Robson), it isn't admitted on the Newcastle-Robson issue, he's made out as a universally liked, neigh, loved and worshipped hero on Tyneside and that this was always the case. Aside from the general feeling the club supposedly, have always had for the bloke being overegged, his actual success seems to be exaggerated by the same people, he is talked about as if he was hugely successful rather than moderately so. Smacks of trying to get good PR for the "geordie nashun" on the back of SBRs incredibly good name (which he has on merit may I add, top bloke).

 

EDIT: This sounds like I'm having a go at Robson. I am not, I think he was a brilliant manager and a brilliant person. Great ambassador for the North East too. I am just trying to point out that it is rarely publicised and almost never admitted by the perpetrators that he was abused by some NUFC fans at the end. Whereas I think most SAFC fans would admit Reid was hounded out (probably rightly tbf, unlike Robson) and that distasteful songs were sung about SBR at the SOL while he was NUFC manager (par for the course tbf)

 

Bottom Line: It's the lack of admittance that at one time or another you (individuals/collective) didn't treat the bloke how he deserved to be treated. PR Reasons? It works tbf, this issue is never brought up in the media when they talk about him in a Newcastle-fans-opinion context.

 

Oh look, you baited me and got a bite HAHAHAHAHA

Every football manager in a job has been abused by their own fans at some stage, even Fergie, look at Wenger now. What is the point in this discussion apart from trying to get a raise out of people? What a wanker.
