Is there ANYTHING positive about NUFC ?

Post by Asprillasfurcoat » Mon Sep 17, 2018 7:40 am

Repeately pathetic levels of team "investment."

A Manager & team who've tried & tried , but whose morale has been worn down by an utterly disgraceful owner, & now just use the sympathy card, & don't really try.

Outdated academy that doesn't produce players.

Heirarchy spouting lies continuously,, even on TV for the world to see, with no shame whatsoever.

No stadium or club infastructure investment.

Used openly as a vessel to channel money elsewhere.

Penny pinching at every level and many club employees on less than living wage , despite being owned by a billionaire.

Fans blamed for everything in the media by cronies of the owner like Keys , Wise and Gray.

Newcastle United... the club that's dying of shame.
What a player! What a signing! What a day for Newcastle United! .. actual BBC commentary from Moussa Sissoko's first game for Newcastle United

I think you have to look at that as a positive because our negative goal difference is actually more positive then the negative we all expected.

Yes, we're half as good as the top sides. So we should get around 45 points this season and stay up <ok> <roll>

So a double negative makes a positive!

The encouraging unqualified support of the Toon faithful. 2. The belief that one day we will see Ashley out. 3. Rafa will play Rondon and Shelvey from the start. 4. We are only two points off plan for the season. 5. Potential of Newcastle is closer than many believe to being realised.

I consider myself less pessimistic than most, but not sure how you can think number 5 is true <laugh>

I don't think he's channeling money elsewhere, just using the club as a means to avoid spending advertising money elsewhere.

I think it's a reference to the house of frazer buyout.
