Luke Edwards north east pundit


Just in case the mags ever needed reminding, this is what Robson himself said

“"This club was shipwrecked when I arrived," Robson told The SP. "Staff here weren't worried about going into the First Division, they were worried about going into the second.

"They could see this club getting relegated twice. The criticism isn't nice and it isn't right.

"It hurts, it's not pleasant but it's the way things are these days. The game lives on this sort of thing. I know it comes with the territory but I did not expect it at Newcastle.”

Although this muppet seems to think it was our fault :lol:

Robson was sacked because of the behaviour of younger players, yet the club employed George Ormond who was widely reported even at the time to behave inappropriately with younger players.

Never heard of him, that story must have passed me by. Pretty horrendous stuff that

He is of course correct, but they then rewrote what happened and thought this had become fact.

They hounded Robson out, he was gutted at the fans' reaction, they are such a bizarre fan base. They thought building him a statue would mask what their fans did. We haven't forgotten, clearly neither has Edwards.

RIP Bobby Robson. I wish he'd managed us, top bloke and a fantastic manager/coach.

They do this all the time mate.

Deny, deny and then deflect.
Did this not happen?
