We're seeing tonight why Newcastle fans have a reputation for being self-entitled arseholes. After last season and how well we did, 3 bad results and someone here and on twitter are saying he's took us as far as he can. Honestly, what a set of utter cretins. 

 

Said it before and I'll say it again, the reputation we have is thoroughly justified sometimes. We have more than our fair share of complete whoppers!

 

You're taking it a bit too personal. It's football fans in general sadly. Wouldn't turn to twitter after such a result for a sane, educated opinions.

I also think you can't take what he said there at 100% face value. To me, he implied we were a bit unlucky with the scoreline, but I don't think that at all. I think we were taken apart.

 

Very soon after, though, as you say he also said it was a time for him to support his players. In other words, he wasn't going to come out and say it was a poor performance in front of the press.

 

He has a history of being economical in interviews with what he really thinks. I suspect behind the scenes he's thinking/saying something a bit different.

Absolutely, but that's all part of good man management. He wasn't going to come out and say we were shite with the exclusion of maybe two or three players. I mean, we'd have admired his honesty as fans bur it would suggest gaps in the armour and would potentially upset individuals in the team, or the whole team.

 

Luck doesn't really exist. We all use the term but it's bollocks really. We use luck to explain what we cannot be bothered to explain, cannot explain or simply don't want to explain, really. All opinion this of course...

 

Howe answered questions designed to open cracks and make them holes and instead papered over them whilst he establishes the more long term solution, which he absolutely will find, for me.

 

(Not meaning to be defensive with you by the way ;) )

Too early to say definitively he’s tactically one dimensional. But I agree with the sentiment. 
 

We’ve gone all in on Howe ball in the transfer market. No 10s, hard runners everywhere.  We need to give him the full season and must not knee jerk at any point.  


I didn’t say he was tactically one dimensional as such, but as a team we are. We can’t counter attack for one. It’s genuinely embarrassing watching us try.

No one is actually implying they want him gone are they?

All depends on the context of what's been said and seen though doesn't it.

 

Criticising a performance is one thing. Suggesting whole scale changes is another and as we all know the Internet rarely has grey areas...

TBF Brighton are total class. West Ham beat them last week through shear luck, the stats were mad in Brightons flavour, this team could really finish second this season. Give Howe at least till Christmas, at the very least he deserves that.

Of course. I have every faith in manager and team to overcome this shitshow

What a shit start, but kinda expected. Haven’t been able to replicate last season, unfortunately. Can’t see how we will be able to compete in four tournaments tbf. So I really hope we concentrate on EPL and CL.

West Ham entirely deserved their win through both tactically and physically outperforming Brighton. Stats don't always tell the full picture.

One or two, but they may not even be newcastle fans for all we know.

They dont mean anything.

Fans come in all shapes and sizes. I wouldn't speak for them whether they are fans just because they are bordering on insufferable. Ronaldo really is a WWE referee when it comes those few though. This is like the fifth time he has said that in the last week.

There's nothing defensive in your post there, mate, nor any need to be.

 

Because I completely agree - suspect it was just him straight-batting questions because he doesn't feel any value in a public inquisition, when he's got a group of players that will probably be feeling a bit bruised. He probably will be himself.

I don't agree, if you have 17% possession in a game of football you do deserve to win.
