Match Threads Newcastle Vs Spurs

[Mr Pink]

Sky - shock horror - probably making a fuss out of nothing. Levy frequently travels with the squad, I've seen him get on/off the bus at plenty of away games (eg. Sunderland) before so wouldn't be a shock if a member of the Spurs entourage has joined the rest of them as they get ready to depart/fly back.

As for the rest of it, I repeat it is pointless getting worked up or drawing any conclusions from this result tbh and neither should the club - the issues they will surely already be well aware of and we've been told changes to the football operations and a new (more progressive) manager is on the way. This was on the cards because for weeks it has been clear everyone is just waiting for the season to end. The club wanted to get to the end of the campaign before resetting, Conte flounced early, the club decided to stick rather than seek an interim to get through the season, the players though have clearly mentally hit the beach already. There's no comeback from that. And run into a hungry team with lots to play for and you could very well get smashed off the park.

Reminds me of United last season (where they tried an Interim...) where their season just died a slow death with everyone waiting to be put out of their misery. I'd say to fans just disconnect and don't watch matches even - if you do get that angry or emotional about it it's going to do you no good, these are dead games with a (presently) dead squad. Next year is a new year, things can change quickly, but for now, nah. Roll on the 28th May......

We might not be good at the moment but we were still in with a chance before kick off, albeit a slight one.

You make it sound like the season was completely over....it wasn't.

This is exactly the problem with the Club, this kind of attitude.

Just accept heartless performances with no fight.

There is zero fight and that should be a fucking prerequisite for any player playing at any level, especially on this stage.

Its not good enough to come out with this tripe.

Sky just said Levy has gone to the spurs dressing room. Has he no shame? He should be in hiding. This is ultimately his fault.

Free shower innit

Well, what a lovely afternoon that was watching the footie with a load of geordie contractors.

Songs of Praise, Antiques Roadshow to come.

Lloris talking about the players lacking fight and heart. How many times have we heard this about these players and too many are still here - and apparently it’s Jose, Conte’s fault etc.

No way Levy appoints Poch because it just emphasises what a shit show he has presided over in the interim.

Dyer and Danny saying it how it is

Both highly articulate

Big picture?
In the sense that another oil-rich nation state is overtaking us yes. If you don’t want to sell out the same way I don’t see a better strategy than what we’re doing.

it will likely be a mini super league of Middle East states at the top of the EPL. Sad.

Or maybe the new FPP rule will help…

Arsenal & United aren’t oil & they’ve overtaken us. And Newcastle haven’t spent like a financially doped club.
We can’t use that as an excuse for our owners having absolutely fuck all idea about strategy or direction.

Its not just the recruitment...its when these players walk through the door of the Club...

They obviously feel they can get away with not putting in a 100%

I think the point is only an oil-rich nation can match ENIC's asking price for the club

If we'd gone 4:3:3 6 months ago, we might be playing it effectively now.

Yeah they’ve been drilled on 343 for 19 months and a sudden change is not going to work now- it’s absolutely Contes legacy.

There will be more hidings to come . Utd , then Liverpool away that could be a 4-5 goal drubbing. No life no soul and worse of all no leadership

We truly are Toxic Hotspur FC at the moment

 

[Japhet]

I think when Stellini say the players were not prepared, I think he means they couldn’t be arsed to fight.

More like he forgot to hand out the lube before kick off.

 

[makeveli]

Why the fook would u change tactics away to them and not play your cb’s this squad is so bad , sell harry and start again

 

[bigspurs]

We’ve had games where we have lacked composure and passion. But complete capitulation and to play with no pride, no care, no clue… certainly one of the worse. I also can’t recall the last time we suffered this heavy of a defeat.

Well if you think back to the various selection 6-1’s and 5-0’s that we bent over and took at the end of the AVB and Sherwood reigns, you’ll see a very similar player attitude.

I reckon we could beat Antique Roadshow

He’s lost the dressing room Literally

They were above us before the dopers came in. Take out city and Newcastle and we’d be 3rd even now. It’s not an excuse it’s a fact. What would be your strategy against it? Sellout to to Qataris I suppose. Not for me.

 

[Mr Pink]

Levy night on Thursday night...

Hope he's got his popcorn ready

With Antiques Roadtrip we might fall down…

About as spineless as the team
