Unbelievable Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 It might academic because we're likely to receive multiple hammerings as soon as we face some decent teams. Leicester (h) Spurs (a) Liverpool (h) West Brom (a) QPR (h) West Ham (a) Burnley (a) Chelsea (h) Arsenal (a) Sunderland (h) Man U (a) Everton (h) before we start with the reverse fixtures We'll be lucky to be on 10 points if we don't beat Leicester, it's that bad.

Guest thenorthumbrian Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Staying in the Premier League is the overriding priority because for a club like Newcastle United, there’s a nothingness below it. Its not NUFC anymore. I dont think I care enough. But the best part of 50,000 United fans will trudge along to St James' Park on Ssaturday and as long as that continues the club don't need to care.

Well according to the latest True-faith article they seem to think that a lot of the 50K are cheaper tickets, apparently we have the biggest family eclosure in the premier league. Your regular fans seem to be turning away. NUFC is a souless enterprise now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I am perplexed by the message coming out of the club that there is nothing to worry about - a few teething problems to sort out and then everything will be OK. Do they really believe that? There seems to be so much complacency in the club's attitude. Also, the number of pundits that seem to think that maybe the season will be struggle but we will survive. They are obviously not really paying attention to what is going on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half of me thinks he's being stubborn just to piss the fans off, he likes to butt heads, even to his own detriment. for a club that went to the trouble of commissioning research to prove being shit in the cups was actually good for the club you'd have thought they'd have at least had a look at historical manager changes and seen the benefits of making the changes early the problems in the relegation season all came too late; changing early works, hanging on and making late changes rarely does just seems to be a general lack of awareness from anyone but the fans that we're in a relegation battle already and will likely not have 15 points at the halfway point of the season, it's fucking weird Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Seeing as Ashley was fond of stats in proving that cups are an utter waste of time I wonder what the points per game ratio was for the second half of the season we finished fifth and if this would be enough should we have less than fifteen points come the turn of the year.
