Saw something about that come up on my YT feed, but I didn't bother watching it as that guy has a habit of clickbait titles. But it was a bad game to miss when him playing would probably have seen us in the next round of the FA cup. I hope he really was ill and not deciding this game was beneath him.

et tu brute Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Mind just watched Craig Hipe's YouTube summary and he's hinting that there is a bit more in it and that the official line of illness didn't sound to convincing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) I try not to fall into this sort of thing, but if you're a French winger at Newcastle, and dare I say it, not white as an additional factor, you'll immediately and forever have a target on your back with some of our fans. It happens too often for it to not be weirdly suspicious. Supposed Newcastle supporters constantly lying about one of our best players to try and stir shit is utterly fucking weird.

King HTT III Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Aye it’s not a race thing, fans know what he is capable of and fans in general are fickle. If he doesn’t perform every game to the maxi of his ability he will get some flack, but let’s be fair fans have largely been very supportive of him on the stands. Robert got stick, so did Ginola, Waddle before them for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I can understand the stick he takes, but I really just want it to work out for him here and I’d say most of do as well. He’s just got so much raw talent and it would be disappointing if he doesn’t achieve what he can with a team like us on an upward trajectory. Hopefully he keeps working hard and gets back in the side, willing to do the hard running and defensive stuff and ready to make an impact going forward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if thinking that the lad's end product is questionable and his injury record patchy makes a person a racist tbh If you were looking for current players who get the most shit off the support, ASM would be somewhere near the bottom of the list. Chris Wood can only dream of getting the grief ASM gets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

King HTT III Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Every mate of mine who criticises ASM are desperate for him to do well because they like him, but growingly get more and more frustrated with his fitness issues, his falling to the ground and taking an age to get up antics and his inability to perform to higher levels consistently and he should too because he has all the talent in the world and the world is his if he wants it, but you have to question does he?!

STM Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 If that's the case I was REALLY racist to alot of white footballers during the Steve Bruce era.

TheBrownBottle Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 It doesn't seem completely crazy to think that ASM may be unhappy about his current status at NUFC; I'm not inclined to read 'ITKs' but logically it seems to have a good chance of being true. Most of us will be expecting Howe to play Isak LW with Joelinton returning to midfield once Isak is fully fit. That Murphy came on ahead of him at Arsenal possibly wouldn't go down well. ASM at present is possibly third choice LW behind Isak and Joelinton. This doesn't mean he has fell out with Howe, but it is hardly difficult to picture that he might be unhappy. There is a part of me that thinks that if this is the case, then ASM should take a good long look in the mirror. The club is now on a footing to add top rate players to his talents; he is the one who complained in the past about the deficiencies of his teammates. Now that we're doing that, he finds himself out of the team. He has outrageous talent running with the ball, but the consistency and output is lacking - quite simply, he doesn't actually produce enough for the team to carry him. He isn't that good - at least at present (though many of us think he could be, with training and application). I would think most of us would rather he shape up than ship out, but I'm now beginning to think the latter is, sadly, the more likely outcome.

I'm talking about people lying and trying to stir shit about one of our players by inventing stories and trying to put forward this idea of them being trouble. Being critical of his game is a different thing entirely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
