[Paullow]

It's basically another year wasted, an absolute nothing season.

 

I appreciate that we were punching above our tradtional weight at the time, but as a 1986 lad getting into football around 93/94, that was all I knew, and Newcastle seemed a genuine power. Crazy to think my first 13 years of football (1993/4-2007) consisted of:

 

- 2nd, 2nd, 3rd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th finishes

- 2 FA Cup finals, and a further 2 semi finals

- Europe most seasons, beating Juve and Barca, first team to lose 3 CL group games and still qualify, UEFA semi final

- Smashed world transfer record to sign one of the best strikers in the world, plus other (less successful) statement signings like Kluivert and Owen - the latter when we were generally more midtable - although there was a sense that we underacheived then, now 13th is 'absolutely tremendous'

- Signed other very promising, highly touted, young players like Viana, Dyer, Bellamy, Jenas - those type of players wouldn't look twice now

- Regularly beat teams by 3+ goals, including that 5-0, and a 7-1 over (an admittedly not as good) Spurs

- Many other things you could easily add like rich lists etc.

 

2007-2020:

One top 6 finish, one season in Europe

Multiple relegations, and further near misses

Bottom 4 or 5 budget, and a largely shite squad

Moves to Wolves, Leicester etc. an obvious step up for the few better players we have

 

I do feel sorry for those 20 and under because this is all they'll know, but I actually do think it's worse for us 30-35 year olds, who although have better memories, also have first hand experience of a club pretty much at it's peak, to one literally making up the numbers, doing absolutely nothing.

 

We desperately need this takeover.

[Yorkie]

Player of the Season: ASM on the basis that we're only capable of winning when he's in the side.

One word to describe the season as a whole: Irrelevant

[Astroblack]

Player of the Season: ASM

Player who has deteriorated the most: Schar

One word to describe the season as a whole: Shit - rolled over for almost every team. 30% possession.
