Comfortably able to watch that era and be in awe of how good they were. If only you could bring past teams into the present day and see how different they are now with the technology off the field and advances in management Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2001-2002 Leeds were still stacked, Liverpool had a quality side and Chelsea were pretty good too. I was talking 94-97. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had peak Rashford and Casemiro going into that, we had an out-of-form Wilson and Bruno just coming back from suspension. One of those things.

We also had Weghorst up top, no Eriksen, and had just played the second leg against Barcelona three days before while you had 8 days rest. Just think the occasion got to the players. Can't see it being the same next season. Hopefully we have a striker by then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just our players capable of winning the match were either out of form or not fully fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUHRLYASLEEVESUP Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Less than 2 years ago the 1st 20 minutes of my morning after a Newcastle game was wasted pouring hate on Bruces bones (Still hate him with a passion), now its unbridled joy replaying highlights & drooling over King Eddies every word, best thing is were only just getting going under this colossus.

You are replying to a post talking about comparing this team to the Bobby team so that’s a strange one but ok. 94-97 you have to add Blackburn into the picture as well as taking into account the league overall was much more competitive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 10 hours ago, alexf said: It's a real shame the cup final happened to fall during our worst dip in form this year with players looking tired and people like Wilson suddenly looking totally out of form, Pope suspension etc. Eddie deserved that trophy for his efforts this year. However if we get top 4 from the position we were in when he took over is nothing short of miraculous. It will also mean we have every chance to win something in coming seasons aswell. The fact we are playing even better stuff than we were pre world cup is outrageous. First time in my life I'm going into games genuinely confident were going to blow teams away. Great turn around after that dip we had. Was thinking this last night as well. Just came a month too early for us that, I would fancy us to win that final if it was happening now, and he might not admit it, but @Froggy would probably agree.

Our team is absolutely knackered. The players will be hanging together by a thread come the end of the season. I think most good sides would turn us over at this point. We were much better than Barcelona when we knocked them out of Europe and the cup final was extremely comfortable. I think Barca and Newcastle would both be heavily favoured against us right now.

No the quote you replied to was ‘You have to make allowances for things like technology and sports science, but yeah I'd say this team is better than Robson's across a season.
