Match Newcastle United VS Tottenham Hotspur. Tuesday the 2nd of December at 20:15

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Sunderland have nearly done that this summer.

Agree ; and they had a net spend of 125 million bringing in 20 odd players to replace a squad that had ,largely , been in League 1 a few years earlier.

Good Luck to the Black Cats and their very loyal and long-suffering fans ; they’d be orgasmic If that strategy gets them into 17th place come May .

Like I said before; shouldn’t our aspirations be a tad higher.

Quality players are an issue in pro football in recent years.

The fact Sunderland have done what they have done, on a low budget, and are in the top half, tells you something.

We should never have accepted Ange and that project.

It was Levy being cheap.

This is more of the same.

Yes ; but we were always aiming at mid-table security with a European position being a bonus .

The whole “ finishing 17th yet winning the UEFA / Europa ( and 300 K turning up for the parade ) phenomenon “ blew the whole supercomputer that was overseeing it all . Thus he left and we’re now in uncharted waters .

As I see it .
 
It was one f-ing brain bubble; and probably only following orders .I’m sure he wouldn’t have done so otherwise.

SAF always loved it when Peter Schmeichel tore his defenders a new one . It’s a mentality thing .

Jose also wanted his players to be
Grade-A “ cunts” . And he , also , won plenty.
If you are going to tear into your defenders you have to be fucking top quality your self but Vicario has more weaknesses than strengths:
Long Passing F
Short Passing C
Crosses C/D
Shot Stopping A
Decision Making C

He would have done better in Italy but his style of play and the fact he sticks to his line means even with his top quality shot stopping he is an absolute liabilty.

Where we are is that the parade reminded many of how big THFC actually are having had our expectations managed so skillfully, by the miser, for best part of a quarter of a century.

I think the plan / hope now is for the legacy supporters to give up altogether tbh.

The younger supporters will be more accepting of an ENIC style 10 year plan like the one they arrived with.

Older supporters will not have the appetite for more of the same.

We have been cheated by Levy and our reward now is for some of the poorest players, who have ever represented the club, to call out the supporters for not being up to their expectations.

It's a joke.

Darkest hour is always before the dawn KK ; we’re all going to have to keep the faith .
 
I fancy us to get a result. I don't think the gap between Newcastle and us is anything too big, and they are a much worse side than last year.

A battering here like in 23/24 though, and it is probably the beginning of the end for Frank
