AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 We need something in midfield to connect up the passing and shore us up defensively. 2 mid-priced midfielders could keep us up if they were the right ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Us, you and Sunderland for the drop I'm afraid. And whilst there is an element of "well, at least we're not the only 'big' club to go down this season" / misery loves company about it, it really only makes it harder to get promoted next season. We are so awful, I can barely find sufficiently scathing words to describe it. There is a cancer that runs through our club from the very top down. I honestly can't expand on it, because it makes me so f***ing angry. Sadly, you have a similar problem. Us, you, the mackems, three clubs with self-interested, detached, CGAF chairmen, leaving things to be run by absolute f***ing morons who f*** everything up. There's a reason the league table looks like it does. We are in massive bother - think we'll be joining you and another team in the Championship. The mackems always escape but hopefully not this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 As I said before, the thing Sunderland have in their favour is that they've had some very tough fixtures recently so defeats were almost inevitable. Fixtures weren't exactly the same but we only gained one more point than they have against the same opponents. Not saying they aren't shit, they obviously are. But they can point to the fixture list recently. We can't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Two clubs going down for the single reason that their owners couldn't give a fuck. It's essentially like the 18 other clubs put a cheat on. That being said, Villa and Sunderland made managerial appointments that were actually intended to see the club progress. We are definitely unique in how we've been shackled as a club by the whims of one cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 If we throw a lot of money at Stoke for their manager and captain next month then we have a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shush Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 We need something in midfield to connect up the passing and shore us up defensively. 2 mid-priced midfielders could keep us up if they were the right ones. And a GK, CD, LB and Striker. You can't ignore centre midfield at all man. We're woeful there, I'd want a two CM's of quality and a centre back. If we can control games from the centre we will ease the defense and give more quality chances to our forward line. I agree that we need something else for the rest of the positions, but we have to prioritise CM for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bert Shaft Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Relegation will make me smile cos I don't give too much of a f*ck about SDU anymore. Got better things to do and more important things to worry about than the fortunes of a football club that's been slowly but surely decimated by the fat oik and his classless chums who have contributed to the downfall of a once great club.

TheGuv Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Nailed on. Well deserved for everyone, except the fans. On the contrary. It's what we've deserved for putting up with 7 years of abhorrent decisions from Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are definitely unique in how we've been shackled as a club by the whims of one cunt. It doesn't matter who we appointed this time, we were a juggernaut heading for relegation by the time Garde came - W1 D1 L9 - that's an awful record, a lot of momentum to stop.

Lush Vlad Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Unless we get a reasonably compotent manager and 2-3 quality players in January. We're down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Unless we get a reasonably compotent manager and 2-3 quality players in January. We're down. We'll stay up with SMC if we get an average quality holding mid, centre back and left back. We'd have won the villa game and drew our last two and those points would have made such a difference, and that's only over 3 games. We'll be nothing but bottom half after that like.

I have no idea what we are even trying to do this season. Just a load of players out on the pitch, that look like they barely know each other. McClaren should be shouldering a lot of the blame. Even with this mediocre/crap squad. We are underachieving IMO. As everyone keeps rightly pointing out. Long term, nowt is changing until Ashley goes.

We need a forward too. IMO we don't. I'd play one of Mitrovic and perez up front, 3 in the middle and two out on the wings. Mitrovic Thauvin Sissoko Anita Wijnaldum New Tiote LB Tall CB Mbemba Janmaat Works for me. Sissoko leaves, put Perez there. If Thauvin works better on the right then we have an issue, but for this season he should be happy getting game time in any position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Good as down, along with Villa and in all probability the Mackems. utter shite with a very over rated 'coach' and zero fight or leaders in the team/squad. Don't see us returning automatically either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Hope we go down. The thought of the club/Ashley receiving that new TV deal is unbearable. As said above, we absolutely deserve a relegation for 50,000 cunts sitting there every week for the last 7 years and barely doing shit about it. This season a prime example- nothing will ever be bad enough to spark our fans into life and protect this club (and that's excluding that fantastic souls of Pardew/AshleyOut, it's the rest of the complicit pricks).

M4 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I still don't want us to go down... But at the same time I know full well that there would be little point to staying up other than doing it all over again next year and just continuing to exist for the sake of existing. Plus the sight of a Wonga shirt makes me sick. In the ground or around town. That's a pretty standard fucked up, unhealthy relationship right there.

Unbelievable Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I'll stick this in here too: What's our comparative points at this stage to the season we went down? Halfway the lads: (NUFC last ten PL seasons after nineteen games): 2015/16: 17 points, 18th (scored 19, conceded 34) 2014/15: 26 points, 9th (scored 22, conceded 28) 2013/14: 33 points, 8th (scored 29, conceded 24) 2012/13: 20 points, 15th (scored 23, conceded 30) 2011/12: 30 points, 7th (scored 26, conceded 25) 2010/11: 22 points, 13th (scored 28, conceded 29) 2008/09: 22 points, 12th (scored 25, conceded 27) 2007/08: 26 points, 11th (scored 26, conceded 29) 2006/07: 25 points, 11th (scored 20, conceded 21) 2005/06: 25 points, 11th (scored 18, conceded 21) I was on about a five, basically because I believe a relegation would be good for us in the long run and since nothing good ever happens at NUFC I see us hanging on by the skin of our teeth once again and for the rest of eternity, but those stats paint a pretty bleak picture. Could this be the year? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I think those two wins against Spurs and Liverpool might end up taking us down. We look hopeless at the moment and McClaren is in denial. Not the man to turn things round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I think we're going down, voted 7. January business (or lack thereof) will either push that up or down. Sick feeling in my stomach again about this club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
