NSG Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I think it's high time someone put an end to all the positivity all here! We really need to be careful that we don't get pushed into a false sense of security. Half the lads still barely know each other and the rest are scraps that finished 13th. It will probably take time for them to gel into a team. All the early signs are positive. But we're not Manchester United, we can't just slip a galactico in here and there and still play brilliant football. Big Sam has a long term plan. But the short term aim is simple: European qualification. I just hope people don't turn into the annual angry mob if we lose at Bolton and Boro and fail to beat Villa. All the signs are good, but let's not get carried away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye I agree, I tend to get the feeling with most fans this season though that we're willing to be more patient despite the renewed sense of optimism.

Guest Knightrider Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Don't worry NSG, if we don't sign a back-up LB, it will all be doom and gloom again anyway... Agree with your post BTW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wor jackie Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 howay man, it's been shit for a few years now. can i just be happy until 11th august please? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkeye Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Patience is a virtue that we have had to develop over the many years of almost being there. I, personally have no shortage of it. But, in reality the way Newcastle have shown in pre season gives me loads of optimism, I have been to all the home friendlies and think that we have played really well in all of them. We have good reason to feel optimistic while keeping our feet firmly planed on the ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 All the optimism?! It's been generally happier for about five days, if that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron von Fat Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I just hope people don't turn into the annual angry mob if we lose at Bolton and Boro and fail to beat Villa. If we lose at Bolton and Boro and fail to beat Villa, it is a nailed on certainty that this forum will be an angry mob, and that a few predictable posters will blame Mike Ashley and Chris Mort.

Guest Toonie Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Fuck if we lose to Bolton, all i have to say is SAM OUT!! Shearer IN!!

James Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 There is a fair chance that at least one of our new signings will disappoint, but thats football, it is rare to get every signing right first time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dare you to name which one you think its going to be. In 2005, I was delighted with all our summer signings. Most were a let down. Fact is, you can just never predict how they'll do until they are thrown in, and it will take a while to work out just how well a player is doing. I remember when we signed Gooch, and he was the answer, yet when I got from the Fulham game on his debut, I realised he might not be up to it, and a few games later the general consensus on here was that he was one for the scrapheap. But it does take quite a few games to really see howa player will fare, so I'm not going to unfairly target a player, particularly as I know nothing about Capaca and Enrique. I'll stick my neck out though and say that it won't be Geremi. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
