You have to try and understand how ‘unique’ Newcastle fans are. Their brains do not engage normally and they actually believe they are ‘special’ and therefore entitled to spread their belief that the whole football world admires and loves them. It is a very strange phenomena which is impossible to rationalise

Darwin would’ve loved them. Started out as a normal football team until they were exposed to dangerous levels of Sky Sports.

Everyday fans got taken over by performative “Look At Me” types becoming the circus we know and love today 🤡 🎪

I am not ruling out EH being a genius btw but whereas the average points per game in the prem for possession of 39% is only 0.82 (and likely relegation) he is getting 1.48 ppg from that possession. That and the signings all hitting the ground running tell me he is either a fantastic manager or is having a run of luck that will inevitably die out. You hope the former .... we all hope the latter :)

A fantastic manager who is getting the best out of players that were performing way below, basically.

The games they've won lately have all been winnable home games which tbf they've won them which is easier said than done but the 2 away games they've been awful Everton and spurs. They've got a few tougher games coming up now. They've never went to Chelsea and battered them like Brentford did.

We were robbed in the Chelsea game and it was blatant.
The Tottenham game was a culmination of too much too soon when you think of away games and having to stay away to go to the next game and then travel back home only to travel back down that neck of the woods again.

I'd say we came out of it very well considering and we were always going to hit a blip for certain, considering.
The Everton game was a farce. Everything went to pot after that dipstick tie wrapped himself to the post. We weren't troubled up until then, then their fans got fire in their bellies and so did their players, whilst we lost momentum and paid the price. It happens and always will.

You rate almiron so your opinion on footballers is worthless tbh as you're absolutely clueless

He's rated because he's a very good footballer who's basically been destroyed and is slowly being put back together again by a fantastic manager and coaching staff.
He's obviously going to get a bit of stick if he doesn't perform as anyone would. He's shown in the last few games what he's capable of when managed and coached properly and also how an arm round the shoulder and a bit of psychology can alter a confidence dip, which is what he had.

All he has to do is keep it up and he might get a new contract. His will has never been in question.

I'm not asking you to take anything seriously from me. I post what I think and reply to those who I feel the need to. That's it.
What you think of me or take from my posts is down to you and I'm fine any which way you take them.

You show excellent powers of recollection for the instances where you were robbed, e.g. Chelsea.

What about the other instances - goalies spilling it and deflections. I mean even Bruno's late winner against Leicester spun up of a defenders leg else it would not have reached him. Count how many points were due to good fortune and come back to us.

2 words, Chris Wood.

He's an awful signing. You paid twice as much as he was worth and he will never be a top 10 team premier league player. He was in awful form, probably the worst of his career and has scored 1 goal from open play in 4 months.
Click to expand...
Do you think we'd have got out of relegation trouble playing every game with just 10 men?
Obviously, you wouldn't.
I agree we paid over the top for Wood.
I also agree he's not the best forward by a country mile.
However, what he is is a grafter and an outlet and also a pain for defenders which allows others to get into positions much easier.

We also signed two players who were squad players in Targett (loan) and Burn.
Let's put it all into perspective as it stands.

How many would have Dan Burn over Harry Maguire?
What did we pay for Dan Burn?
Targett has a price tag of £15 million. A bargain by today's sickening rates.

And then we have Trippier who's worth twice what we paid.
Swings and roundabouts to be fair but massive shrewd, almost genius signings, and where we are in the league kind of proves that. Unless people want to put it down to luck,

Press writing about 6 home wins in a row and how Bobby Robson was last Newcastle manager to do it; forgetting to mention he was sacked the following season after losing two home games in a row (although none of the fans were booing)

That's football. One minute you're sky high and the next as low as a snake's belly. It's the nature of the beast in people. We all do it.

People want joy. They will place anyone on a pedestal as high as possible if they produce what is deemed worthy of it. They will also crush the same person who dips well below those standards.

It'll never change.
Look at Ranieri at Leicester.

As fans, we're a massive fickle bunch, throughout.

I think it's fantastic. Create a togetherness and you can conquer anything.

Have you gone off Rafa now? Is Howe the new messiah?
Click to expand...
I went off Rafa not too long after we got back into the premier league.
I wasn't one championing the man.
As for Howe, yes he is. He is the messiah for me. He's fantastic and I can't praise him highly enough.

There's always a great team spirit when teams are winning. The test will come when you are losing games and progress isn't being made.

We've had our fair share of luck.....good and bad.
I'll tell you what counts. It's putting the ball in the net more times than the opposition and having it stand. or at least not having the ball put in our net more than we put in the other.

We could go right through decisions from start to finish and find reasons for wins, draws and losses being reversed and whatnot....both ways.

The reality is we are where we are because we're well managed and coached with a squad of players who have the right mindset, now.

It's not all luck it's hard work and belief.

That applies to any team. It's been applied to us throughout the season and most other teams barring those at the very top who suffer little of it in some seasons...not all.
Team spirit can be destroyed by any number of factors for any team. We all know that so it isn't unique to Newcastle United.

Look man you're still a poor premiere league team who are awful to watch. You will most likely finish bottom 6 once the season finishes

As for almiron he's absolutely shite he's always been shite from the day you signed him.
