Tsunami Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 That play off defeat became a great turning point for the better. It ultimately led to the Hall and Keegan years. Had we gone through we’d have been promoted regardless and it’s possible that Jim Smith would have been in charge for a few more years as we languished in the lower reaches of the new top division with the Hall boat sailing by. I was at the match and devastated by the result but I’m pleased it happened looking back. They can have the bragging rights, I’ll take the Keegan years.

Altamullan Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Yep, not a good night. It’s always darkest before the dawn. Just thought, it’s a wonder they haven’t added crossbar-smashing to the favoured list (horse-punching etc.) of Geordie adjectives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinport53 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Having now read about half that thread, I ask myself why are they bothered/happy he will leave us if he's worse than Simon Grayson? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinport53 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Seen as a lot on here would be happy to see him leave! I take it we now admitting he is a very good manager? No, it's purely for the comedy factor, he's not a bad manager imo but he's not world class. Not world class when he's got 13 trophies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daft cunts Which ironically is also stating that West Ham are bigger than SAFC.... which I am sure they will dispute (3 league titles in 1900s, Bank of England Club, 6IAR, 9-1 FTM etc) There is only one measurable that currently puts West Ham as a bigger club than us and that's current attendance, they've impressively sold out over the last two seasons in the stadium they hate. But honestly it's not even a debate outside of that small point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 They could be playing at SJP next year after all with Exeter City in the league tow play off final with a 3-1 win over Lincoln City tonight. Exciting days ahead for them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically the only measurable is down to the fact they got gifted a higher capacity stadium really Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More people have watched NUFC this season than West Ham whatever they try to tell us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Surely the mackems aren't, in all seriousness and with a straight face, now using attendances to quantify relative club size? Though the laws of mackematics will doubtless somehow decree that this doesn't similarly apply to comparisons between them and us. Or are they just basing what they say on London being, in their eyes, a more affluent and attractive place to live than Newcastle? Again, rather shaky ground for them on that score too.

Benwell Lad Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 38 pages for the Rafa thread! Janey seems to have reappeared and has posted links to any tweet / article that hints at Rafa leaving! She absolutely loves a Rafa thread mind and displays that curious mix of, don't rate him but still have an obsession about him managing the Mags, behaviour so evident across there Mind she is the bitterest of a bitter bunch when it comes to NUFC. When you actively campaign to have a young fella with a family sacked from his job because he supports a football team you don't like, you should probably take a step back from it all.
