Dr.Spaceman Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I've argued in the past for those who have an alternative viewpoint, it's part of what keeps this place ticking. What would be the point in an ultra-positive echo chamber full of "happy clappers"? Glad we have those types on here but it's a good mix of viewpoints from one end of the scale to the other, and long may it continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth, when I see you've posted something I do think "What's is he going to point out now that has gone wrong this time". No offense intended by the way. Things you point out make sense. I guess as @Mike said, sports are a good escape unless both real life and your team are going bad, then it just makes it worse I guess. I've been staying away a bit as I'm an optimist and things at home are rough with my wife's health not going so great so talking Newcastle football as of late is depressing instead of interesting when I try and get away from it. Anyway, onwards and upwards and keep posting. I suppose I could block everyone but @PauloGeordio then it would be a happy place! Let's hope for a strong finish to build on next year. McDog hope your wife's health improves. Sorry to hear you're going through it. Edited March 30 by PauloGeordio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Anderson moves for over £80m this season this financially will have caught us out. No one in their right mind would think like that at the time, though. Anderson has over 5000 minutes for Forest since he moved, he'd have got no where near that here. He'd very unlikely be worth the 80m he is now.

No one in their right mind thinks like that now, never mind at the time. We sold a player who was well liked but never really performed for us and he played in a position where we have better players than him. He went somewhere else where he got loads of starts and did well and is now worth big money. That’s just football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC91 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) I think this past week has certainly split opinions... People will see in the match atmosphere thread I want a positive fan base who gets behind team no matter what but I don't agree with alot of opinions that "we only demand a team that wins" or expectations are too high. We are sat bottom half after getting beat off our rivals again which hurt most as their players wanted it more. Also the team have been applauded off in every away defeat I have been to this season, every other fan base would of reacted the same after Sunday's defeat. Equally those who do nothing but criticise likely forget past seasons or the Ashley period and the way the club was ran, Eddie Howe is without a doubt my favourite manager, winning a trophy tops any other achievement and he always reacts in such a class manner compared to other managers. Which either side of the fence your on I think we all agree that the run of games until the end of the season is huge, if we don't see a reaction after the derby defeat I think it will ring alarm bells let's be honest. I'd actually like to see big Nick up top every game until then end of the season, no one questioned his performances v forest Everton Arsenal etc so let's get behind the lad.

I wouldn't mind seeing Wissa start a few either assuming he's not gone on strike. Hate to think we just threw that much money at him without understanding what we were buying.

If we think Anderson could become as good as Joelinton, even in 2-3 years. You let Joelinton go at peak value and build on Anderson and co. But we've not had that and been very short-term thinking with transfers and poor at selling he club ever since Ashworth left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 It does feel like it is overlooked that we were unable to significantly spend for circa three transfer windows because we maxed out our capacity. That happened while Stavely and Ashworth were at the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashworth was here to sign Isak, Gordon, Tonali, Hall, Livramento etc. The emergency a transfer window and the Ashworth era brought us our success. we pivoted from Ashworths strategy as soon as he left by renewing Joelinton’s contract. Even Mitchell had an era - it was just terrible and short. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
