He's STILL f***ing going on about it.

"I have sympathy for André," said a man who nearly lost his job at Newcastle after the strain of Europa League commitments precipitated a relegation dalliance last spring. "It's not surprising that the managers of teams in the Europa League from the Premier League and the Championship have all got sacked this season.

 

"I don't think that playing in the Premier League on the Sunday after the Thursday night in Europe you can get to the required level. I've been saying that ever since Stoke warned me about it when we went in it."

 

:lol:

 

Yes but we don't know what he was asked.

 

:lol:

Stoke out of Europe (qualifying via the cup final and not getting relegated btw): 46 points

Stoke in Europe: 45 points

Stoke out of Europe again: 42 points

 

They'd have been better off warning him about the dangers of not qualifying, maybe he wouldn't be such a whinging little cunt.

 

Disclaimer: he still would.

:lol: It will work on some people, sadly.

Jesus, I should have known better. Mental how seriously people are taking this simple obvious observation.

 

Dave, obviously the fans have massive benefits as well as downsides. I choose to believe your witty posting style hides the fact you already know this.

 

Funny how the likes of Brian Clough and Peter Taylor - and Don Revie - always envied us our fans' numbers and the backing they gave to NUFC....I think they could safely have lived with the so-called 'down side' because they produced successful teams and there would hardly have been any occasion when our fans would have cause for complaint if they had been watching Derby/Forest/Leeds when these guys were in charge...

 

Strange how good management can make a difference, isn't it...???

Our cup record is a joke.

 

fyp

 

You haven't fixed his post at all, only 6 clubs have won the FA Cup more than us.  Stop trying to make our current record look better than it is.

 

When we last won it, no-one had won it more times than us, and of the 6 with more wins than us, 5 of them have won it more times than we ever have since we last won it. FFS stop trying to make our record over more than half a century look better than it is

Regardless of how bad we've been in the cups since the turn of the millennium, nothing at all can excuse this:

"But he beat Man Utd at Old Trafford!"

 

He should be sacked for that alone. Instead he probably got a bonus.

There's no doubt it's shit, but it's not particularly "out of the ordinary shit" for us since halfway through last century, never mind since the millennium.

There's no doubt it's s***, but it's not particularly "out of the ordinary s***" for us since halfway through last century, never mind since the millennium.

 

So you are contented with keeping up being shite and forever losing to crap opponents? :lol:

Remember, some genius would rather lose to our traditional rivals than Man Utd.

You have to remember that for some people, the actual sporting part of it all, the football, is unimportant. For some, what's important is the pride in the association by supporting a football club that's owned by a man like Mike Ashley. What happens on the pitch is somewhat insignificant. However, belonging to a portfolio of businesses by a man of Mike Ashley's calibre, that can make a great deal of difference to their self-esteem.
