afar Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 me and cp40 never got on but fair play for this thread, looking back from the start the amount of delusional idiots is terrifying..cp40 saw what was coming as did i same as reading back on the would you take 17th thread, madness how can some people know so little about football? I hear what you are saying man. A lot it though is down to not being able to see the full picture of things. Understanding it’s not just about the strength of a squad of players on paper that’ll determine your season. It’s hard also for those that have only been with us through the premiership times to recognize the signs. NUFC have only been relegated something like 4 or 5 times in our history and the last time it happened was 20 years ago, to thoroughly appreciate what caused our demise back then you would need to be in your 30’s at the very least. The signs were all there for us that were old enough to remember to see early season. I had gone in to that season full of hope, OK we lost Beardsley in the summer but we had got good money from him and we had made some what looked like decent signings. Dave Beasant looked like the dominant GK we had needed for a while, Andy Thorn the strong CB that we long be short of. John Hendrie was a hugely exciting prospect on the wing and John Robertson had scored goals for fun up in Scotland and looked a good bet to fill Beardo shoes. Unfortunately only John Hendrie lived up to their billing, we were beset by off the field issues as the crowd who were already antagonised by the sale of yet another star in the summer saw the money wasted on underperforming players. John hall was making his first moves to organize some sort of resistence. The Manager for the large part of the season was clueless and the board too late at replacing him. The club was unstable off the pitch and clearly not good enough on the pitch. Those were the same things we could see in 2008/9,we were obvious unstable (even more so than 89) off the pitch, we had fan dissention as we did back then, we had the same type of manager clearly not up to the job and we had a paper thin squad of over paid players of question character (slightly different from 89, as the first team should have been more than capable but the history of injuries meant we had to look past the first choice players). If you're only old enough to have known Premiership football then you’ll have seen us sometimes flirt with relegation, but at the end of the day never been in too much danger of going down. You've also seen other “big” clubs, Aston Villa, Man City, Everton, Spurs etc, have similar flirtations but ultimately be fine. So it’s hardly surprising that some thought the situation wasn’t as dire as it was being made out to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great but for the sake of my nerves I would rather NUFC win of course, Hull and mackems lose, meaning we are safe, then Hull narrowly beat Manure and the mackems lose to Chelsea. Oh happy days if that scenario pans out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we survive it'll be fantastic and of course the only thing that should come into our thoughts but it would just be so much sweeter if it was at the Mackems expense.

This, but it is a big if.. Fulham will not be easy to beat. But if we do, I think we'll stay up. Imagine Sunderland going into their game monday night in the bottom three, knowing that they have Chelsea in their last game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of them wanting Hull and 'Boro to keep winning to put us down... slight flaw with that logic there like when they've got Portsmouth and Chelsea to play yet... He said the same has happened in previous seasons when he's been at home/away during pivotal weekends and their fans have cheered goals against us at the back-end of a season, when the team scoring them has gone on to finish above Sunderland and see them relegated.

If we beat fulham and bolton beat hull and sunderland get beat at pompey. I sure as hell want hull to beat Manure (narrowly) because that would have no effect on us, unless we totally self distruct and conceed 8 or 9 goals at Villa (even for us that's not gonna happen). Trust me, no one is seriously hoping Hull win at our expense, you are just being somewhat of a drama queen here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
