Newcastle United

[Stu]

its not like hertz.

And you very much hear about clubs who havnae won lots, having fans "deserving" this or that. Nothing to do with NUFC.
"somehow, Newcastle deserve better than other clubs"... eh?

Anyway, being a NF fan, you'll no need tae worry too much aboot the Toon

I'll agree to disagree with you there. The deserving better than other clubs point has been addressed elsewhere in the thread, they don't deserve any more than the likes of Brighton or Brentford fans for example.

I'm a Hibs fan but if I was a Forest supporter I'd probably enjoy a walk around my club's trophy room more than your average Toon supporter would theirs!

Yep, its been addressed insomuch as another poster mentioned some journalists have been writing that (rather than working class toon fans).

...but we've already established, its no aboot trophies

Glad yer a hibby mate

You can't really speak for other Newcastle fans. I'd say there's a bit of a sense of entitlement regards deserving better because they're a 'big' club.

You have established it's not about trophies for yourself. I can see why you'd try to minimise the importance of that.

Some other provincial clubs are away counting their European Cups and suchlike.

Well if you read my posts you would see my stance on the average Newcastle supporter is based on going to see them a few times a season. Since 1992. Standing and sitting beside them. I only mentioned trophies after you mentioned they hadnae won a league since the 20s (with the inference therein). I responded by saying trophies are one metric on a clubs size.

You cannae really quantify your second sentence. Its you perception based on nothing really.

Ah say the geordie boot boys smashing forrest 47 years ago should be let go. Yer boys got done in. Let it go man.A fairer opinion would be forthcoming, Im sure.
Anyhoo, up the Hibs, up the Mags and fuck forrest

 

[Forzahibs]

Wonder when Rochdale might get taken over and become a major force in the EPL

 

[Hammi]

Want to win the league in 5 to 10 years
Got a few other billionaire toys to get past first.

I can't see Newcastle attracting the players when your Manchester clubs, Chelsea and Liverpool are kicking about.

They're deluded. Fans and new owners
They'll be like arsenal are currently.

I'm just stating facts really, nothing to do with fairness - about what happened 47 years ago as an aside and much more to the point about what has been happening (or more accurately what's not been happening) for Newcastle since nearly a hundred years.

Your reference to the second sentence doesn't really make any sense, sorry. I'm sure you understand what you're talking about...

I'm tempted to say fcuk Newcastle in response but they're just way too fcuking funny to lose, comedy gold.

Have a good look at these - it's the closest you'll ever get to them.

And Everton, with the new approach of signing two bob stars under the wonderful Rafa Benitez (what? what? I am allowed to change my mind I am a fitba fan).

Wonder when Rochdale might get taken over and become a major force in the EPL

Dare to dream mate!

Nobody learning from the Leicester model it would seem.

That requires too much thought and hard work, too many clubs are happy to throw silly money about in the pursuit of mediocrity.

The Saudis don't get super rich by throwing money about for no return. The Newcastle fans should be asking "What is in it for them? How do they get a return on their investment?"

I just meant in terms of running a football club, not where or how the owners accrued their wealth. Leicester do the hard work, identify players who they can develop and consistently perform above clubs who outspend them.

As for the Saudi ownership, I’m no so sure it’s about a return on their investment in Newcastle per say, it’s part of a wider plan of sportswashing.

This ‘ sense of entitlement ‘ patter that frequently gets directed at Newcastle fans really is tired and ultimately a load of shite

no, tricky, thats no right,. Stu frae nottingham who deals with facts will be along tae tell ye otherwise

 

[joethehibby]

Not a fan but Newcastle should be doing much better each season. They get dominated at home and away. Saint Max is about the only good thing they have these days. Reminds me so much of Zemmama. An absolute joy to watch.

Fantast team

Fabulous team in their day. Mind them from when I was a wee boy. We were one game away from that beauty in the middle...

English top flight fitba has always been high gquality in the main, as far as i can tell. Was recently on you tube watchin match of the 70s and 80s etc. Really good. English people really love their teams. Massive clubs all over. My main concern will always be the cabbage personally.
These radges taking over the geordies are just a long line off wankers that have raided English institutions.
Bit of a shame all round.

But if a billionare invested in the cabbage and we went on tae royally pump all gunts and glasgow with ease... id probably be all right wi that.. to my shame I think im a fickle arsehole when it comes to Hibs

Aye to be fair, that was some Newcastle team. Fantastic and memorable football they played, I think most people, including me, would have loved them to finish the job. Sadly, wasn't to be

Does anyone actually know who is in the Saudi consortium? Everyone seems to have assumed it’s MBS the Crown Prince who is not a great guy. However there are loads of other rich Saudis and they actually have a rich sporting heritage.

It's being presented as a Saudi Public Investment fund which the EPL seem satisfied is separate to the Saudi regime, coincidentally this decision was reached around the same time as the Saudis agreed to crack down on the piracy of EPL games

It's all rather murky, but the Newcastle fans have no sway in any of it. Hopefully the takeover brings with it the positives which Man City and indeed the city of Manchester have seen when Sheikh Mansour took over.

It has been high quality in my lifetime.
The biggest difference between the 60' & 70's and now, is the foregn players. Man Utd, Liverpool, Nottinham Forest and Aston Villa won with British or Irish players ( I havent checked so I'm expecting a correction!).
Oddly, the English national team(post 66 & 70) was pretty ordinary until recently.(Euros).

Haha still ordinary IMO ,

 

[sockyboy]

I've always seen Newcastle as an English version of Hertz. In fairness, a sizable fan base but totally deluded and easily taken in by the promises of greatness by a string of iffy boards/owners. Hopefully it all eventually ends in tears.....my English team is Sunderland in case you haven't guessed.

I was about to lose my temper until I realised in this case NF meant Nottingham Forest.

First team I ever saw Hibs play.Close season game 1969.Two brothers played that day one for them,one for us.
I suppose it's whether you want your club owned by a regime that beheads adulterous women in the street or by one that sells them fighter jets so that they can rain bombs down on Yemeni's?I guess that you can vote Trump out to put someone with much the same foreign policy in makes a difference.Capitalism stinks, football stinks,you can either carry on puting up with it or you can try and change it.
I like the new boy and I liked Asprilla.I don't like the design of one of their stands, when the sun shines it casts a shadow over the pitch and you can never see what's going on ,on the telly.

The shadow over the pitch is possibly planned?

Mike Ashley looking to maybe buy Derby County now!
As if they don't have enough problems

 

[Stu]

Ashley's Sports Direct HQ is in Derbyshire. On the face of it, it sounds like more bad news for Derby. On the other hand though He might be more suited financially to running a club which will possibly be in League One next year.
