Wolfcastle Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Everybody stayed back at the end of Dalglish and Gullits seasons, rousing reception - didn't turn up the rest of the season or the start of next Half empty for Sir Bobby in 2000/01 (the never mentioned one) - started the next season vastly improved Half empty for Sir Bobby 2003/04 - nothing got better There was about 1,000 people left for the mackems lap season before last and they've been on the up ever since Really makes no difference.

This is how the mackems seen their team off to the Play Offs last season. This was their lap of honour for their last home league game of the season after a terrible run of form at the end of the season. Went on to win the Play Offs. Players aren't as arsed about stuff like that as people think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Last day of the season at home is always the chance to show you appreciate the efforts even if not everyone was good enough. We played shit against Everton last time round although in the end we still got UCL so everyone was on a high regardless. I won't be there this time round, but if I was I would still want to clap them off. Just feels petty not to do it unless you think they've been purposely playing badly rather than just not being up to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Aye it's been a disappointing season but the players have given us a respectable Champions League campaign, a cup semi final, and played more games than most teams in Europe, with a much weaker squad than the other names in the same ballpark. We've fallen short on ability and results in the league, but it's been far from half arsed unlike other teams in the past. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This falls into the same bracket for me. I don't expect everyone shares that opinion, but that's my personal take. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Dancer Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) Absolutely be staying. They’ve been shite this season but I’ll always be grateful. I think loads won’t say though, as daft as that is.

Gottlob Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 I think it's nice to stay and nice if that takes place within a positive atmosphere. I have always stayed even when the atmosphere has been listless. But I don't think you can really bemoan anyone who leaves regardless of the circumstances and I find all the comments about fans being grateful or spoiled or entitled or whatever kind of ludicrous and divorced from the current state of the game. It is a sport played by millionaires, owned by billionaires and largely captive to their whims. And it is still ultimately funded by the people who watch and engage so you can take your choice in my opinion. I also don't think there's a great deal of distinction between this and other disappointing seasons when it comes to some players not doing the basics or seemingly wanting away so for me it's more about courtesy and a kind of groping sense of camaraderie rather than a gesture of thanks for the effort.

greydos Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 This will be my first time taking my 10 year old boy to a Newcastle game. We live in Bristol. He supports us because of me. He had joy at Carabao last year, then heartache last summer when we lost the *Traitor to our cousin’s team. There’s so much pressure on young kids to choose Liverpool, Man City or Arsenal. But he’s stuck with the Toon because I tell him the fans are the best in the country. Loyal, supportive, reasonable and not expectant like fans of those other teams. I appreciate the season hasn’t been the best but bloody hell guys don’t let us down! Support Eddie and the boys and play your part in the next generation learning what true loyalty and support is!
