Fair enough mate, you're right .......... after all they already have one for Peter Beardsley on the cathedral. please log in to view this image
please log in to view this image I think it's to symbolise Newcastle fans banging their heads again a brick wall every time they go in to support the club.
Every time I see the Newcastle club crest I can't help but laugh at the half donkey/half maggot creatures. What a terrible choice, they're repulsive ...... I wonder if anyone actually has them tattooed on their body. I know they come from the city's crest but dear me.
Blinking heck . . . . is that it ? It's now't like Alan Tosser Your description (Nigel Pearson after a horrific fire) seems to be damned accurate, Smug This is a more accurate 'likeness' to Alan Tosser
He scored about 150 penalties so do they count ?. Now a statue for Sir Bobby outside Wembley stadium would be brilliant.
There was a small minority who were really abusive, a bigger minority who sang the songs & a majority who wanted him out. The Newcastle supporters were whipped up into a frenzy by Freddy Shepherd after Newcastle had finished 4th then 3rd ..... 2nd or 1st was surely the next step and when Newcastle could only manage a pitiful 5th the knives were out for Robson. Shepherd was making snide comments, in the press, and encouraging the dissension while, at the same time, lining up Souness to replace him. I suspect Shepherd had done the same with the players who seemed to lose respect for Robson. Ironically some of those players have since spoken of how they couldn't believe Robson was sacked. It was around that time Shepherd claimed the Newcastle job was one of the top in world football iirc. After they sacked Robson Souness took them down the league and, a few years later, they were relegated. I remember those day very well.
I find that last bit hard to believe tbh. What have you based that on? Were there any surveys at the time? If you can back that up then fair enough, people are perfectly entitled to think someone else could do a better job, but the majority of Newcastle fans I knew were shocked and gutted at the time when Robson was sacked...
No Smug... I was trying to bait him. Your reasoned and well thought out response is not welcome! . Freddie Shepherd is arguably a bigger cock than Mike Ashley. I wouldn't be surprised if your third paragraph was spot on. I definitely wasn't a majority of fans though. I was there. I sat in the terraces. A vocal minority (the usual idiots) yes. The majority. No
Probably but I've no intention of trawling back through websites, Chronicle archives etc ........ it's my opinion based on what I saw. If you don't like it, that much, then prove me wrong.
