Page 540 is pretty good stuff, right when we'd lost to Cambridge in the cup.

 

Obviously was a rough time but man some of the posts are funny now, looking back :lol:


I think I really was lost about this time last year, I loved him but felt it just wasn’t working out for him as the players were turbo shit and it didn’t seem like we were able to bring anyone in. Cue a few more weeks and the results started turning. Wild stuff.

How's your plane watching going :lol:. I was wrong and I'm big enough to admit that. Not the first time I've been wrong about stuff in my life and I'm sure it won't be the last :tino:

Tbf, you're still here. Most of the posters who were talking shite then you never see posting anymore.

Strange that. Almost as if they got a kick out of winding NUFC fans up…

If peoples wrong opinions are being pulled up two of my recent howlers is saying on multiple occasions that Dan Burn is no better than what we had and that Chris Wood would be a good singing for us. 
 

If anyone wants any of these top opinions on potential new signings drop me dm. 

I too thought Chris Wood would be a good signing for us as well. I used him at times when he was at Burnley to good effect in my FPL team, and figured with better players around him and a better manager he would really kick on. How sad I am that I was so wrong lol

My weapons-grade clanger was making a topic called 'The Souness Legacy' and trying to argue that we were in a better position after he'd left the club than we were before he joined :lol:

I'm cringing reading that Rafa thread. I was seriously wavering about Eddie last January but the comments look embarrassing now..

 

On another note though, I hope Rafa gets the West Ham job and redeems himself as the scorn that he continues to receive from media pundits is shocking.

Nah I don’t think it’s cringey. We were in the precipice of oblivion, some of the results weren’t great and the football wasn’t anywhere near what it is now. It was a pivotal point for us. Rafa was a legend, fought for the club, fans and showed us we could be better. The clamour for him made sense. 
 

I still love Rafa but I don’t think he could have done what Howe has as it’s completely different styles, I didn’t believe Howe could have done it either. 
 

I hope he gets a decent job and like you say, West Ham could be ideal.

I do get emotional when I see that. This man has re-written the book on what's possible. Yes, there was a large overall spend, but we had to pay over the odds for some players (esp Wood), we couldn't raise funds by selling anyone, and started from the point where it looked like we were going to go down with about 20 points.

 

I still don't quite get it. There's very little pace in the back four or the midfield, and none of the midfield are good defenders as individuals. Half the team were there before Howe took over. But somehow we're in third place, and on the way we're playing, it's no fluke.


The only thing I can get close to is when we went deep in the champions league with some really dodgy individual defenders. But I can’t remember how we did it, maybe with better attackers.

Nothing cringy about the uncertainty if it was going to work or not, we hired Howe. We were still shite, we’d create chances and then bam, mistake and concede and then we’d never grasp the winner or equalizer. I blamed most of that on the prior manager and the players tbh.

Speed, Solano, Robert, dyer, Bellamy and Shearer did help to mask some defensive weaknesses.

 

although Bernard, Hughes, Given weren’t exactly poor in the back 5

 

edit, and of course Shola

Interesting seeing that tweet about how after Cambridge Eddie went to applaud the fans with Trippier and the subs, some other players were called back but refused and headed down the tunnel. 

Just shows the entire mentality around the club at that time and again shows how much of a good job Howe has done in changing that mentality.

Some serious revisionist history with some. It wasn’t one clanger. It was a couple of months of constant dog shit, and was eerily similar to the 17/18 season when Rafa went through a tough patch, with a very similar poster profile. It was beyond absurd, and the perpetrators made this forum a real chore. For those who have since  held their hands up, of course it’s  no big deal. For those who continue with a perpetual stream of knee jerk  reactions, well, that’s another thing. 
 

I’m just seems that A few on here get off on wearing pessimism like some weird badge of honor, and then love to victimize themselves with the straw men who are trying to silence their brave opinions. “I was laughed at when…”
