Newcastle vs Sunderland is not just an "important game" this time. We have spent more on our squad than that club is worth. They've been in League one for years and years, now they have gotten into the Championship and are midtable. In that time, we have risen up and up, taken so much ****ing piss out of them for YEARS. If they beat us and knock us out the FA Cup, it's not just a big game lost its a historic achievement for Sunderland, at OUR expense. It's unacceptable, no big clubs on the continent would accept such things. Managers would be under immediate intense pressure.
We were relegation fodder 2 years ago. We've come on massively. And some of the comments on here are the exact reason the press make out our fan base is delusional and over demanding and over expectant.
I’ve been down the shop and the quality is extremely low. The standards appear to be accepting the last drabs on the dance floor. Look we are like the inbetweeners right now. We just miss the goal. But our owners are ****ing shagging Beyoncé and want more. We have to stop this small mindset. We are going places and this result was predictable but also avoidable:
Another game where howe didn't use subs to break up the game in added time... every other manager does it.
Lack of nous is a big thing thats cropping up at the moment, I think we can play with this style however it's clear that with the injuries we have continuing to force what few players we have left to play this way isnt gonna work, we need a plan b and we need to be a hell of a lot smarter with our game management as i said earlier why the **** would you compound the pressure on trippier and make him take a penalty and he will still play the full 90 next match too I bet. I love Eddie and co but I think there will be serious questions asked about the decision makers at this club in the summer.
So were City, mate. In fact, they were League One a few years before the takeover happened - did the owners lament that and think "well, could be worrse, we could be playing Rochdale"? Nope. It's all down to the ambition, I suppose. Realistically, nobody has looked at Howe and thought "that's the man to break the trophy duck". Let alone when you're watching him bring on Matt Ritchie because Anthony Gordon was sent out hobbling and now can't stand up.
I’m on your page. I’m not pissing about anymore either with this fake positivity ****. We now have to kick on and start winning games. These owners are not going to pump 100’s of millions in for us to be Fanny’s. And honestly because we are NUFC fans that’s what we have become. We should demand more. We should not just accept ****e like the bedwetters are out because that’s what makes us weak. We go into every game now hoping to win. Praising when we do. But god no we can’t be negative when we don’t that’s not allowed. Well I’m gonna be straight. I am going to ge positive and praise when it’s due. And the opposite when it’s not. If imma bedwetter then I can say I pissed the end every week under Ashley so a couple more bed sheet changes won’t matter.
I can only assume there’s a commitment to buy if he plays X number of games, we’ve decided he’s too big a risk at 28m and he’s heading back to Chelsea without us wasting the money
This is clearly the way. Howe has seen something lacking in training and will let him go back. It may mean we have someone else lined for though. Anyone know if there is a recall clause?
No mate it’s just natural reactions to proverbially ****ing up again. We are so used to failure that when it happens we accept it. Oh it’s just nufc doing the same ****. I guess we could blame Trippier again. He’s the one that cocker up his header and his penalty was worse than 95% of his corners. Win lose or draw I support the team but it’s so hard when we always lose the big ones. Lose against the Mackems. Ooft
Been reported that its got a performance based clause to make it permanent. let's be honest, the lad is behind Burn, Targett, Livermento, Ritchie in the pecking order - which suggests he's ****ing gash.
Perspective is looking at Chelsea, spunked a billion quid in the last 2 windows and they’re 10th, 17 points off the pace
