    WTF!

    I was visiting the dark side (i do this to cheer myself up from time to time) and came across this cracker....

    '' Lets look at the positives...
    - so far we've signed as many players as Man Utd.

    - Man City spent £90M on players and beat us by the same margin as last season.

    - We've kept two clean sheets (in all competitions).

    - Both Ameobis have scored this season(!).

    - We're in the second round of the League Cup.

    - We have a home draw in the League Cup.

    - There's 36 more league games to go, which equates to 108 points still to play for.

    - We're closer to paying off Ashleys debts.

    - We haven't got that pesky distraction of playing in Europe (so our Manager says).

    Please add to the list, as I've stretched the limit of my positivity.''

    And they say that we are deluded.

    They've missed out the fact that they have the 'creator' in JFK

    seems tongue in cheek to me, someone scraping at the bottom of the barrel for reasons to be positive

    maybe we should add some to the list...

    * we have found our historic gates (circa 1989) from an era long before the start of football on tyneside
    * we have yet to sign a player on a full contract
    * we are renting our ground of the council

    They don't do 'tongue in cheek'...it's mentally outside of the deluded's capability.

    I can't be too critical, pretty sure we would be looking at the positives to our start to the season. In fact we are.

    1 clean sheet

    5 goals

    through the first round in the cup with a home tie next

    bought in 11 players that add to the depth and quality of the squad

    Have a manager that works very hard on on analysing everything

    Best back room staff/set up and chairman we've had in my life time

    total net spend on transfers in moderately low
