Gordon is a cunt and should be kicked out of the club unless he makes a grovelling apology In all seriousness, I never felt KK handled either particularly well. The point I was making was more that these incidents are not the result of modern players being spoilt, but have always occurred, and it is up to the manager how they handle it. People are making massive leaps about Gordon’s character, but they didn’t with Beresford or Clark. Probably the difference in track records tbf, but I remember the Clark thing hanging around him for a while, albeit I was 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their personalities seem canny different In the same interviews Andy Cole is tremendously complimentary of ‘Clarky’ who convinced him to join Newcastle in the first place. Even though Cole went back into the team after the spat he thought that was the reason he was sold. Cole also left Blackburn after a little spat with Souness. I think the very best managers get players back on side after little spats and learn how to treat players individually. I’ve heard how SAF never gave Nani the hair dryer treatment.

Let's move on....who would be our perfect draw for the group stages of UCL? Have discussed this with those I go to games with in the pub funnily enough. CL groups because of the seeding tend to be 1 very good team, 2 decent teams and 1 whipping boy, ie Bayern, Newcastle, Marseille and Viktoria Plzen. We'd probably be aiming to finish 2nd in that. Maybe get 1 point from Bayern at home, 4 points from Marseille and 6 points from Plzen. If only it was that simple. But ideally you want 3 sides you've got a good chance of beating to get to the knockouts. SJP is going to be mental from matchday 1 of the group stages and even more mental for a 2 legged knockout CL tie. Teams won't relish drawing us imo.

andyc35i Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 We will be in Pot 4 and be one of the so called group games that is usually classed as the easy touch and the one everyone else looks to beat. We have no points in Europe so will be ranked at the bottom, but everyone will wanting to avoid us that’s for sure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that scenario could we not be classed as the "whipping boy" as surely our UEFA ranking compared to alot of other teams in the UCL will be quite low. So there could be a worst case scenario whereby we have a group of death situation consisting of Real Madrid, Marseille, Dortmund and ourselves?

Sima Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Football journos pushing this now in an attempt to unsettle us. Nothing else. fwiw, I thought it was daft pulling Gordon off as opposed to Joelinton or another player from up top that had been on for the full 90 but he had just gave away two Colback-esque silly free kicks on the left hand side near the halfway line.

BonesJones Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Last few posts are making me trip out. How the fuck are we able to discuss potential draws in the CL, and it actually be a very realistic possiblity, in fact odds on? Man I really really hope it becomes reality and we can discuss it on the day of the draw! So fucking close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
