Poll: Sack Race 2015/16

[No1newts]

Are you by any chance referring to Adrian Durham on talksport, he done a show saying Newcastle were too big to be relegated and they should relegate a little club like Fulham instead. Some bloke rang in going ballistic and coined two phrases they used on talksport for ages "kerpoppycock" as he couldn't swear on live radio and Ian Wright then calling him a Trevor for his reaction. Was rather humorous

It's almost as if every single football club has a section of retards supporting them.

It is, but Newcastle are the best fans in the World .

No, it was 606 - years ago. It was the last time I ever listened to the podcast (sometimes have it on live now as I drive back from the football, as I quite enjoy Savage being a full time WUM on the radio), the presenter was literally lost for words about it.

The Newcastle fan was deadly serious, he wanted to just relegate a 'lesser' club and Newcastle to stay up.

I disagree Danny. There is no sense of entitlement. Most Toon fans couldn't give a monkey's chuff about silverware or the league title. They just want to watch decent football from a team that gives its all. l went to my first matches in the early 80s and the mentality hasn't really changed although there's always the exception.

Agreed with this, and I'm a Liverpool fan. Even though they are the local team, so obviously I know loads of Newcastle fans, I can't say I've met one who expects anything other than effort and to a degree a bit of entertainment, which is why Keegan is such a legend. Of course there will be idiots (such as the scum that punched the horse), but in my experience they're very much in the minority.

They always say they'd prefer to lose a thrilling game 3-2 than scrap a 1-0 win. Put simply they just proper, genuine football lovers.

Somewhat oddly given their reputation, they're probably one of the least ambitious set of fans in the league, but boy do they enjoy it when they are doing well - it gives the whole region (Sunderland fans excepted) a lift. The whole North East region was utterly nuts the day that Keegan was reappointed - it had a carnival feel to it... shame it didn't work out!

Couldn't have put it any better myself.

No mate your wrong, us Newcastle fans are all deluded because we all expect to be challenging for the league every year(last time I heard a Newcastle fan talk about the league was when SBR was in charge) and we all deserted our team when the going gets tough(season ticket holder since 1989) some people have such a chip on there shoulder when it comes to Newcastle United, might be to do with the fact we haven't won any thing for over 50years and yet still support our club through thick and thin.

 

[The_One]

Massive coup for Newcastle to get someone of the quality of benitez imo

Hes top 4 management

No other fans do this you see, best fans in the World.

Your post was nonsensical rubbish, I'm not wasting my time giving you a rounded, well worded response.

Good for you, when you aren't clever enough to come up with a proper response as a counter argument act like a 7 year old girl. Lets see how long it takes before we are back to Ashley bleeding the club dry (despite not doing that) and Benitez having no clue or plan B despite having won more in 3 years than Newcastle have won ever.

I give it 9 months, the we just want entertaining football is just horse **** on the same level as no plan B or we don't care about wining anything we just want 100%.

You come across as a very bitter person, by any chance did your girlfriend/boyfriend leave you for a Newcastle fan or did your first love choose a Newcastle fan over you?

 

[No1newts]

He really does come across as hypocritical.

All Newcastle fans are stupid however I am really clever and always stick by my manager etc etc (whilst concurrently whinging about his own manager being sacked) and I'll spout some facts I can't back up (like fans abandoning the club)

Just admit you have an irrational, baseless and childish hatred and you are as bad as those you seek to criticise then this whole waste of time can be put to bed

 

[nemtizz]

This echoes my thoughts on the situation.

 

[Tummy]

Haha, did you see that McClaren had something like a 1% better win ratio than Carver?

 

[nemtizz]

That's some achievement. Aside from Ashley and co, I'd like to wager that nobody who actually supports Newcastle wanted him here, but who foresaw him being as bad as he was?! I think being a nice guy and not a total bell ala 90% of our previous managers saved him some time. Maybe a return to Boro is on the cards?

 

[No1newts]

I always thought we were harsh on Allardyce and he did not deserve to be treated the way we did, ironically you wouldn't want another manager in charge the situation we are currently in.

Re the ratio, 1% better and he spent 78 million to earn that 1%

Right, what I actually find staggering about the 1% stat and the £80 million spent is that McClaren despite the money has a one percent better win ratio than (imho) one of the single worst managers ever in the Premier League .

Like, actually, Newcastle have had some properly **** managers, ol' lord Shearer, Sweary Kinnear (still the best press conference ever, 'You are a ****'), Carver...

Pardew is 'ite, (imho) but he is an overrated championship level manager. Allardyce is an excellent manager for midtable/bottom half Premier League clubs.

Excellent post.

Some of us remember the 4-3 thrillers against the Scousers. Fantastic football. Reds fans are always welcome for a drink pre and post match. I've seen pub doors open with several Reds looking into a sea of black and white shirts with oh dear looks on their faces but they were waved in and had a drink and a bit craic with no trouble at all.

 

[The Running Man]

The press are reporting that even if we go out of the fa cup and Europa cup lvg still won't be fired mi am confused. But he should have been sacked already so...
