Tiresias Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 4) Newsflash: Newcastle’s fans deserve a break Unless the penny finally drops, and Steve Bruce realises he is not employed to get results for Manchester United any more, Hull City will be going down. Newcastle could still find themselves relegated instead, of course, and almost certainly deserve it after a dismal run of form which bears repeating: nine losses in their past 10 games, 18 in their past 24. But they’ll probably get away with it, just, no thanks to John ‘Walk out the Door’ Carver and his risible channelling of David Brent and Gloria Gaynor. The Toon might even register only their third win of the calendar year against West Ham, who have been abject themselves since suffering a dreadful thrashing in the FA Cup at West Brom in February. But whatever Newcastle’s fate, let’s hope the post-season debrief spares their fans any more of the I-told-you-so revisionism regarding the Alan Pardew era. Partly because Pardew’s Newcastle were past masters at embarking on dismal runs themselves. But mainly because it wasn’t just about results, or the quality of the football. Toon fans, contrary to the tired old stereotype, don’t ask for much as paying customers, but they would like a manager they respect, and can relate to. For various reasons, Pardew was never that manager, and subsequent events at Newcastle and Crystal Palace are in this context neither here nor there. Newcastle’s fans have suffered enough this season; they don’t need it ended with a sanctimonious lecture. SM Nice to know someone at the guardian has a clue, tired of useless carver and pardew arselicking tripe (from http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/may/22/football-10-things-to-look-out-for-this-weekend) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Carver is so David Brent its hilarious. He'll be wearing a brown designer jacket on Sunday "Me, lager. Stoney, lager.

tyne down south Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Anyone in London who's not going up know of any good pubs where lads meet up regularly? I've been in the 3 kings at North Kensington a few times with good numbers there- anywhere else also worth trying out? Cock and Lion now, isn't it?

Ketsbaia Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Just like derby week, I've known we're losing all week but get more confident nearer the match. "But we're better than them, surely we cant lose FIVE in a row", then we do. I keep forgetting our players dont give a shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Hopefully if we lose (with the weather like it is today) and go down tomorrow it means everyone fucks off home in a sulk and all the terraces are empty and queues at the bar non-existent.
