    Now that's 2 different things. The original comment was 'since Eales was appointed' not 'since Staveley left'.


    Yes.I agree, we do seem to have missed her ability to push things over the line.

    Good luck Longy! Been a great servant and lived every little Geordies dream. Glad he leaves with a winners medals. Good move for all parties!

    Oh oh, oh oh we are the Geordie boys, oh oh, oh oh we are the Geordie boys. We’re going to win the premier league we’re going to win the cups, and we’ll still moan at utd.

    That’s very personal. He maybe does have personal issues. We all do.

    Dont be like that.

    "Should’ve had Trafford signed a ****ing year ago. Who knew after the takeover we’d still have issues with the leadership." Was Roly's quote.

    I don’t understand what this point refers to. Roly is allowed to voice his opinions. That’s ok. They maybe direct but sometimes valid.

    We should be a little more pragmatic with our responses on each other. We are all fans of the club.

    We don’t have to agree.

    But you said “you” have issues directly towards Roly?

    Context maybe that you meant he has issues with the situation but maybe just be a little less aggressive.

    My point being "We" as in as a collective don't have "issues" with the club. Roly is entitled to his opinion but that's "his" opinion as an individual.

    "We" have issues with the board indicates we all do.
    Magdad was pointing out that it's Roly who has issues with the board i.e. don't speak for all of us.

    What is the big deal?

    I don’t have a big deal. I think Roly has some very valid points and sometimes he gets some
    Nasty comments back.

    Im just defending him. He maybe doesn’t want that.

    But he’s entitled to his opinions. As is all.

    That's about 1 in every 10 starts.
    Not too bad for a midfielder.
    As a comparison, Anderson had 0 from 16.

    Yes it is his opinion. That’s cool. We can all vent on the club. Personally I am happy where we are. I’m frustrated in this transfer window but accept we are being shafted by the big six. But maybe that’s actually not true.

    Maybe it’s just part of our journey to become better. We just have to be patient. And I am the first to say I am not. But I will try.

    Exactly HIS opinions. Not OURS or WE.

    What don't you get?

    I agree with a lot of what Roly posts.

    This isn't picking on him, it was simply Magdad correcting him.

    N
    o I know. He’s a geordie and he was a grafter. But I didn’t realise he only scored 16.

    Perspective. Lampard scored more than 16 in most of his best seasons.

    But I can’t compare him to Lampard. That’s just silly.

    Which is all fine. He’s entitled to his opinions without being harpooned just like everyone else.

    The fact that he is negative but mostly (true at present with the current state of things) is his choice.

    I guess he could attack others positive opinions with facts or how things haven’t happened.

    But let’s see. The club is going in the right direction albeit sideways currently but it’s going to take monumental strides to get higher.

    I have accepted that now. This club is at its peak right now and let’s hope it can try and go higher. But it’s a tough slog when everything is against you.

    When you look at this from outside then it's eay to see the misunderstanding.

    The guy probably meant "we" as a club in his own opinion, not "we" as a fan base on the whole.
