Guest Roger Kint Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Finally got round to reading everything about his interviews and watched the club video of it. Its staggering how much confidence he gives off compared to down on his luck Steve, if his self belief rubs off on our gutless mob then we have a great chance of staying up as he will have us looking far more like a team than we have been. I especially liked the bit about his new staff, really do sound like we will be a lot more organised once they can teach the back four how to stand in a reasonably straight line. All very positive stuff from Benitez. Still amazed we got him tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Will the 2pm press conference be shown live anywhere? Sky Sports News usually show them in full don't they? Can't see it being on SSN because soccer Saturday is on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 You Geordies giddy-ness reminds me of our lot when we'd just appointed Jurgen Klopp. It's a mad feelin all of a sudden being given massive hope isn't it? We've had absolutely no hope for so long it's ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Give him time and you'll grow to love him like we still do. I'm going to be watching you very carefully from here on in. It'll be very interesting to see how Rafa deals with being in a relegation scrap. You've just got to hope that 10 games is enough to keep you up. The tyne and wear derby is going to be a really tasty affair, what with everything that is riding on it and the fact there is absolutely no love lost between Rafa and Fat Sam. Thanks for your posts, they've been really insightful. How does Rafa tend to be in this sort of situation? I know he's never been in a relegation battle before, but I mean more in a backs to the wall/everything looks lost sort of way (obviously discounting the Champions League final. ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Redcustard Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 f*** off Liverpool fans! Making me feel all warm and wanting to cuddle you. f*** off! Don't be like that mate. Come on give us a cuddle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Fuck off Liverpool fans! Making me feel all warm and wanting to cuddle you. Fuck off! Seriously though...our two clubs have done alright with our connected personnel (obviously some not so good). KK, Beardsley, Terry Mac, Belamy, Hamman, Carroll , Rush etc etc Hopefully this is one of the better connections John Barnes balled hard for both clubs.

Couldn't really say mate as we were never really in that position in the league. Probably the nearest we came to that was the first set of CL games against Chelsea. Where we had to dig deep and eventually came out as winners over the two legs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I'm genuinely made up for you's mate. Your not a bad lot really. I've always had good times with Liverpool supporters going back decades to when you were playing Forrest at Wembley and we were playing Chelsea and both sets of fans had a mass game of football in Trafalgar Square. I once missed the first half at Annfield when we had a lock in at the Arkle and we couldn't buy our own beers because your fans kept buying them for us. Your fans ended up in the away end singing Newcastle songs at a time when opposition fans used to kick 10 bells out of each other. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tioté? Sissoko? Vurnon Anita? Colback? Saivet? Or even, when fit, a relocated Coloccini? Dilemmas, dilemmas.

Stifler Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 It's only since he became manager of Valencia, but it's encouraging. Also as you can see he's never lost his 2nd game in charge, this time that's the derby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Actually met him back in Qatar in 2014 During the Italian Super cup, Napoli were staying in our hotel and he was nice enough to take pictures with us, the same night after they won he came and sat down with us in the restaurant, was pretty down to earth and properly enjoyed his company. did not see this coming though otherwise i would've given him a few heads ups Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickthemagpie Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I'm still struggling to get my head around this, like. It's absolutely mental. It's given me back the thing that I thought was lost when it comes to NUFC; hope. Genuinely can't recall anything like this, it seems like we've been starved of any enjoyment for so long.
