Anyhoo, 60 year old men highlighting their first ever game in Yewrup, isn't quite the flex they think it is. It's a massive stain on Howe's NUFC career though. I hope he's got what it takes to get the better of their manager next time round, because he certainly fucked it royally this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeddySAFC Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 I see we are now at the ‘They will probably be close to going down next season’ stage following a multitude of shifting the goalposts pretty much every week since promotion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 (edited) Think most would say and have said the same about any team getting into Europe that potentially isn't ready for it. Burnley, Leicester, West Ham, Palace, Forest, Newcastle etc. Feel free to use it as an opportunity to think you're unique though.

He should just have let Tindall pick the team and take training for a week then and put his feet up and watched Sky Sports instead of attending the game then.

This is the Sunderland thread and people are talking about them qualifying for Europe for the first time since the internet was a thing. Stop making it about Eddie Howe.

Nailed on they’ll draw AC Milan away as well! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Yeah fair play, they had a great season and they bettered us over every conceivable metric domestically, they are where they are through sheer bloody-mindedness, intensity and concentration. Having said that, all of those things will take a hammering playing every 3 days next season, so they will have to evolve to cope, something we have failed to do so far.

This isn't some outlandish observation that has never been made before, it's a pattern that repeats year on year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Europa League isn’t that taxing until the latter stages to be fair. Not a chance they go down, probably some regression to the mean of around 15th but I still think that is a good season for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but to say it's a massive stain on his legacy is a bit dramatic. Do you think in 10 years time when we look back at his time here we'll think, "he was our most succesful manager, brought us two champions league campaigns and ended our trophy drought but his legacy will forever be stained by losing twice to sunderland." Seems a bit small time if anyone actually does/will think that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fak Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 (edited) Infact, I'd go further and say if someone offered me the FA or League Cup next season but we lose both derbies again I'd take it in a heartbeat. Edited May 26 by Fak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will rephrase it as an unfortunate but slight stain on his legacy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because whenever we qualified for Europe, it was overwhelmingly ridiculed (5th place doesn't deserve Europe, the teams that qualify are all shit, nobody cares, the competition is a joke, we are being rewarded for failure, it's all a scam etc.) Very different opinions on there now though! So many posters over there are absolute embittered morons, they don't know whether they want a shit or a haircut. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
