We scraped a 1-0 win against a poor side, and people are "proud?" Clearly standards have slipped since i was younger.
A 'poor' side that have been the second most in-form team in the league since November. A 'poor' side that has already beaten Chelsea,Liverpool,Spurs and Man Utd this season. **** right off.
Kyle you're still a youngster mate, a ****ing morose one I'll give you that, but seriously mate, do you not take any pleasure from seeing us battle and grind out a win at one of the toughest places to visit ? Personally I think you're off your ****ing head if you don't, but there you go
mmmm , to a point , i dont wanna win anything the way Man u sh1ted win things . By being the luckiest Kants in the PL and by dodgy decisions by biased refs and an ass kissing F.A I want to win by stuff and be respected for the way we win it . Or people will start to despise us as much as them tw@ts.
Not that I want to point out our deficiencies, but Hull beat us at Home (we were shocking) and we only drew against Liverpool. Still think it's a bit harsh of your Mr Gruber to call us a poor team though (unless you mean in terms of the money Mr Ashley gives us )
I'm 23, i'm hardly young anymore. And as someone who's followed this club my whole life, standards have definitely slipped. 10 years ago we'd be pissed that we barely scraped by Newcastle, Wenger has lowered expectation so much that a scruffy 1-0 win is now deemed "good"
The most successful teams are always the most despised.Someone of your age must remember the same accusations being made about Liverpool in the 70's & 80's
nope , i always thought that Liverpool earned their stuff . Leeds Utd however , i hate that dirty cheating tw@t , Billy Bremner !
Even ten years ago, we never went to Newcastle and won with ease. It's always been a tough place to go for us.
10 years ago MOST of the teams in the PL were dross , there to make up the numbers . Now any one of them can give the biggest of clubs an eye opener . Cant really compare the two decades . IMHO
No, 10 years ago Newcastle were **** and the standard of other PL teams other than the top four was pretty sketchy. You need to realise that times have changed and the whole league has caught up with Arsenal, Utd, Chelsea etc. Anyway, 10 years ago I still wouldn't be pissed that we 'scraped' by Toon, if we'd won I'd have been as happy as I am now. Kind of funny that you think 23 isn't young though.
