Aye that Wolves game was terrible, therefore we should all stop our affection for the bloke. I dont think our love for him is completely about statistics, its largely about how much affection we have, and I think trying to muddy that is pointless, and at this point in time tasteless and irrelevant.

Yeah lots of people have changed their minds/rewritten history/mellowed/put on their rose-tinted specs/whatever since then, but frankly who fucking cares!?! This anti-Robson thing has become a bit of a soapbox for you two and it's really rather sad, just let it go, nobody dislikes Bobby anymore, even those who hated him at the time, so you're wasting your time trying to remind them that they once did. To keep banging on and on about it displays a huge lack of class, the bloke's dying, for fuck's sake, and you're using it as an opportunity to score petty points. I seriously doubt you'd have written that article if the Bobby Robson Day had been a huge success, you're only talking about this because you think the low-key response means people are going to agree with you, if it had been the other way round, I don't think you'd have had the balls.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I personally love Sir Bobby as much as for what he stands for as much as for his time at NUFC. Regarding the Wolves match although piss poor as the booing was I don't think it was fans saying "sack him". Yes lots of fans thought his time had passed at the end of that season and would have preferred the club to have seen that and brought in someone new (with Bobby upstairs), but I think only a very very small minority would have wanted him sacked, and it wasn't his sacking that people were really disappointed in, it was the timing and manner in which he was sacked which was disgraceful and aye, disgusting even. This is bad taste from nufc.com and a bit pointless but its their site and they can write what they like, people don't have to read it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One commends him for all his charity work, but when everyone else seeks to re-write history, nufc.com doesn’t. I stopped back and was happy to do so because I thought we needed some tweaking of the squad to freshen it up and we'd be off again. I've said this a few times but I don't think we've lost fewer games in the Premiership than we did in Bobby's last season. He wasn’t perfect, his treatment of Nobby was crazy and Jenas was getting games when he should have been dropped. Look what happened to Everton when they finished 4th, they struggled and finished the next season in 11th when they had to play in the league and Europe. In his last full season we finished 5th and got through to the UEFA Cup semi-final and our squad was so thin and injury hit that we lost Dyer and Bellamy before playing the 1st leg and added Woodgate to those two by the time the 2nd leg came around. We still went into our last game with the possibility of qualifying for the CL and we probably would have done so if we hadn’t been hit with injuries. Things were that bad that we had Caldwell in defence, a player who had been out on loan at Leeds and was going to the mackems and we tried to bring Lua Lua back. We sacked him after 4 games in which we'd lost 2 and drawn 2 and were unlucky at Boro as we'd been cheated out of a win. Woodgate was flogged and we should have invested that back into the team and brought in a replacement for him. I’ll not go into the pre-season and the shit that was going on about it being his last season. But yes, let’s not try to change history or airbrush anything.

It either had to be before the season started, or at the end of it. 4 games in was stupid, especially after Freddy's idiotic comments in the summer about it being Bobby's last year regardless. .com's article is irrelevant and certainly at the wrong time - they're just purposely trying to be controversial.

fredbob Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Ive read that article 3 times now and i still dont know what the point of the article was. They seem to be missing the point completely with this one, for what its worth, i thought at the time that is was wrong to sack SBR, he was the first manager to achieve 3 top 5 finishes for the first time in 50 years.
