I don't care if Rafa stays, they can have their gloat. I'm not being bitter either, I'd far rather be relegated and have Benitez in charge than be in the premier with Fat Sam. By the time we get back up we'll be miles better than them.

 

First you say you're not bothered if Rafa stays then your saying you'd rather be in the Championship with Benitez in charge  :lol:

 

It was Allardyce's signings which kept us up so I'm pretty confident he'll do a decent job for us. I'll be happy with mid table after the last few seasons.

 

Pardon my lack of punctuation. That should have read "I don't care.................... if Rafa stays, they can have their gloat. I'm not being bitter either, I'd far rather be relegated and have Benitez in charge than be in the premier with Fat Sam"

 

 

I mean it 100% as well. WE had Fat Sam at our club and so did West Ham. I doubt their supporters are too gutted that they got shot of the fat cunt either.

The way we were playing under him, survival certainly was assured for us. We were terrible.

 

33.3% win percentage seems to suggest otherwise. Better than Keegan's second spell over a similar length of time.

His overall win percentage yeah. Not those last couple of months though. The Derby County games. The Wigan away game. Fuck me!!!

 

Anyway, we don't want to just survive every season, a bit of excitement would be good. He'll suit you lot perfectly seeing the way yous are celebrating 4th bottom at the minute. Match made in heaven.

MOTD completely ignoring their expensive plane :lol:

 

And they're not happy.  Magedia, BBC producer is a mag etc etc

 

I honestly think it is their total irrelevance that kills them.  No one cares, if they were relegated no-one would care or laugh or gloat they are just a non-entity. We are a laughing stock because we have a profile and when it goes bad it's news.

There was a West Ham fan on TalkSport yesterday praising Allardyce for his work there.

If a year ago I was asked if in at the start of the 2016/17 season we were in the Championship but managed by Rafa Benitez I'd have bit their fucking hand off :lol:

 

It's massively disappointing because we were probably a week too late of being in the Premiership with him, but (if he stays) we're still in a much stronger position than we were than with McClaren in charge and no light at the end of the tunnel.

I see Shearer said Big Sam has done a magnificent job keeping Sunderland up on MOTD last night. You'll quickly run out of superlatives if getting 30 games and a transfer window to secure 17th place is classed as "Magnificent".

 

He's done a very good job averaging 1.25 points per game. I'm happy with that, especially after his dealings in the transfer window.

And to be fair he'll probably deliver you that every single year max 48 points with the odd flirt with relegation.  If that is the limit of your ambition then great. Shoot for the moon, you might hit the ceiling, aim for the ceiling you will stay on the floor.  Allardyce is a guy with his aim firmly on the ceiling

Walrus head had 30 games in charge and you climbed 1 place. Get the champagne out if you finish above 17th next season.

 

We had 3 points from 9 games when Sam came in. We've averaged 1.25 points per game since he arrived. That kind of return would get you about 47 points for the season. I'd be more than happy with that.

 

Also his signings have been brilliant. Kirchoff for £750,000 is an absolute steal. Kone is a beast and Khazri has been immense. I understand why Newcastle fans slag off Allardyce, you deemed him not good enough, but for us he seems like a great fit because our expectations are less.

 

Trust me, if his signings had been of the ilk of cacapa, geremi and alan smith instead of the 3 you've name-checked your lot would be wanting to hang the fucker off that fake tyne bridge you've got!! Expectations wouldn't come into it!!

 

He's done a decent job there with his signings and getting the best out of Defoe, at Newcastle he was bloody awful. If you're comparing his record against Keegans in the same season it must also be taken into account that Allardyce had the easier run of fixtures as well as the benefit of a full summer and pre-season to get prepared.

My point was Shearer saying "magnificent". If what Big Samuel did was "magnificent" what words describe the job Claudio Ranieri did? Or even the likes of Bournemouth and Watford?

Genuinelly dont see how the mackems can advance to anything beyond 12th place under Fat sam. And they'll be having street parties if they do manage to get to the dizzy heights of 12th!

 

scums PL finishes: 18, 7, 7, 17, 20, 20, 15, 16, 13, 10, 13, 17, 14, 16, 17.

I don't know about street parties but I'll be more than happy with 12th for now.

 

By the way Newcastle's finishing positions over the last 10 years aren't anything to shout about either, especially as there are two relegations in there. Yes your expectations may be higher than ours because you have a better PL history, but I wouldn't raise them too high if the last decade is anything to go by.

Saying this with a straight face like we haven't had some total dickwad sabotaging the club.

Surprised you don't just stay on your own SMB forum and reply to things about Newcastle as most of the threads on there are about us. Never seen such a bitter and more obsessed set of supporters than you lot - totally embarrassing.

The reason you've struggled is obvious, but he's still there. If I were a Newcastle fan I'd never be confident with him at the helm.

I quite like it here.

 

I do go on SMB, but tend to stay away from the Pure Football section most of the time, preferring the other forums. I don't know what you mean by totally embarrassing. Do you think I should be ashamed of the behaviour of people I have no control over?

The majority of you fans are embarrassing, bitter and obsessed people whether you are ashamed or not makes no difference to me.
