If this is the spirit behind it and how you guys are attempting to convince others to get on board. Just continuous hateful ranting and raving all the damned time man. For goodness sake.

Bimpy474 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Isn't it more that Rafa's setup would have at least given us a chance to gain points? With Bruce, it's absolutely comically predictable. How can something be predictable when it doesn't precede anything though? After 18 games if the same mistakes that cost us today are happening, then yes, predictable, but after the first game? I'm not sure that makes much sense. Fwiw there was some promising signs in the first half today in our play and a few players in particular caught the eye. I'll choose to not plummet into abject misery just yet. You're far too sensible. You're completely wasting your time though. They've been waiting all summer for something to go crazy over. Even though they all claim not to care anymore. You can be such an idiot at times. This is the most relaxed a fair few of us probably have been about a season. I just find it quite bizarre that some people treat this as some sort of clean slate every season with the "let's just see what happens" mentality. Ashley has steered this club from one catastrophe to the next. Losing Benitez was one such catastrophe, and he just compounded it tenfold by appointing Bruce. Their records speak for themselves. 100% agree , i guess the "let's just see what happens" stuff is all some people can do, it's the reality of continuation i suppose. For me it's because I'm obviously going to keep supporting Newcastle United and be emotionally invested in it, just as everyone posting in this thread today is one way or another, whether they like it or not. And whilst I'd be far happier with Rafa still here, I'm willing to try and call what I see on the screen as it is and not look at everything purely comparatively through a pre-determined negative lens, as I think it skews what is actually there and is therefore not smart. I'm sure we'll all be back next week, looking on with at least some level of excitement and interest at what the players can produce. I don't doubt that, the only thing the excitement and interest is not me right now. I've never felt so flat, depressed and totally down hearted watching us, i have nothing, not looking forward to a game, no warm feeling as a game approaches, weirdly i never felt this bad under Pardew, this is different to that time.

It is immature and childish and it s completely ruining the forum. You do not have to do that all the damned time to prove you no longer support the club. If you cannot understand that. You sir, are the idiot. I never said it's the worse we have ever seen, so I am not sure how I could pretend that it is. I never made any comment about the players. In fact, I didn't comment at all in the match thread during the game. You are clearly confusing me with confused, or just a little butt hurt for being called out as a hypocrite. I was speaking generally, genius, and have been the whole time. You are the one that interjected yourself into the conversation, and are now claiming I am addressing you specifically. Go away. Then don't directly quote me. You could have chosen 15 posts to quote around mine. Jesus, man. In your attempt to WUM, the handle has somehow flown off you.

Sho Time Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Joelinton clearly is not a centre-forward, ASM looked like a pauper's Ben Arfa as expected. Team looked lost and - as expected - as soon as we went down, they didn't have a clue, namely because the manager had lost the plot and his mind 50 minutes into the game. This season is gonna be hilarious for the divvies that renewed their tickets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine, I just think it's a shame that in reading this forum, it comes across like there's only one type, or one approach to being a Newcastle supporter that is correct, and anything that veers away from that is looked upon with a kind of weird manufactured anger. Unless you're being heavily critical of everything NUFC at any given time, then you're bombarded with a frenzy of people telling you how wrong you are. It's a bit silly really.

Guest Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 This game reminded me of the Man City one in about 2013 when Cabella and Rivière made their debuts. I think Maximin & Joelinton will do better, but there seemed a lot of bluster without too much quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
