tgarve Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Is it not surprising he didn't end up moving somewhere better than us? He was so good. I know we were in the CL and top 4 when he was around, but only for two seasons. Because we weren’t under Ashley Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 No surprise but apparently NUFC have been told by the council that we’re staying in tier three Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Remember when we won at White Hart Lane with this team... Newcastle: Given, Ramage, Taylor, Huntington, Pattison, Solano, Butt, Milner, Dyer, Martins, Sibierski. Subs Not Used: Harper, Edgar, O'Brien, Carroll, Troisi. How the fuck did we manage to only concede two goals against Defoe and Berbatov with a back four consisting of Peter Ramage, Steven Taylor, Paul Huntington and Matty Pattison The recent shite from Bruce got me thinking the other day about some of the dross we've put out over the years.

Yorkie Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Yep, it's a great point. Those with a particular agenda will go on as if our squad is only fit for relegation and/or the division below, as if we haven't had comfortable seasons in this division with the likes of Peter Ramage, Alan Smith, Amdy Faye, Celestine Babayaro, Andreas Anderson - to name just a handful off the top of my head - playing dozens and dozens of games. I don't think there's a single player in our current first team squad who, talent-wise, I'd put in the bottom rung of players we've had over the last twenty years. Maybe Jeff Linton.

Is that not a sign of the league improving as a whole I suppose it has, but even relatively speaking. Like the example given; Ramage/Huntington et al vs Defoe/Berbatov is a bigger mismatch than anything our current players have featured in over the last couple of years. Overall point being, this is miles away from the worst squad we've had at this level yet, when it's useful to, it gets labelled as such. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xLiaaamx Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Is it bad that part of me thinks this is deliberately done to fish for a signed version as usually happens when stuff like this occurs?

Abra Dubravka Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Completely forgot this fella existed, but was just what's the deal with Saivet? Not registered in PL squad, neither sold nor loaned out. Would guess he's sitting out his contract, but his whole signing and never featuring seems shady asf - can barely recall how bad he was. Last I remember that free-kick away at West Ham. State of our midfield going into this season, and the club thinking signing Hendrick is any sort of answer it seems odd he hasn't featured at all.

Guest Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 He’ll be on £30k or thereabouts. Can’t blame him sitting on that sort of money when his next contract will be on a fraction of that elsewhere. Doubt he’s ‘rich’ rich compared to other Premier League footballers, we’ll have set him up for life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Just went to look at how we went from top at xmas in 2001/02 to being 4th and 16 points behind Arsenal by the end of the season. (Remember the Bellamy injury and everything, but still). I never realized til now that Arsenal didn't lose a single game after we beat them in that 3-1 at Highbury, and they only drew three.
