Gutless heartless lazy no good pieces of crap. How many times can they be tracked down from behind and picked clean. How many times can they stand a let players take unchallenged shots from the top of the PA worthless They don't even have enough pride or investment to be embarrassed They don't have to win but they have to try. They should be booed of the pitch.
To be fair, and honest, I've never seen a team so stationary. No coming to the ball, no running into space. We back-passed all the way to the keeper, who booted long and lost possession time after time. Even the thow-ins were lost with regularity. What happened to playing it out of the back? Stoke isn't that fast to the ball. They aren't great passers, but when we're giving up on the ball, it's a 60% possession night for them. No reaction after half-time either. Think about what that must mean.
Newcastle United will be relegated before their next game if Sunderland beats Everton on Wednesday. I was willing to call their 2008-2009 relegation a fluke after they won 2009-2010 League Championship, but being relegated now would make it two relegations in their last seven Premier League seasons.
Can't beat Sunderland or Villa, you deserve your fate. We've been relegated before, but this far worse. This was a season of apathy by the players. Not heart no effort. They are an embarrassment to the jersey. Absolutely gutted.
TBH, with the way that the past 2-3 seasons have gone in all areas pertaining to NUFC... I am not surprised. And what gets me is the fact that I don't feel the same as I did last time we were relegated! When we lost at Villa that day I was truly gutted... today has been more apathy than anything else. I think the only real feeling of loss for me will be when Rafa announces that he is off as well.
We have deserved to be relegated. Dug ourselves deeper and deeper into shite. Depends massively on what we do next. Regardless of whether we keep Rafa. Whoever gets the appointment needs to be given the same control Rafa would have been. So we need to make it the right appointment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
