Sorry to say it, But it's going to be a long, long season. We are just not good enough. Fact.

Fact? Really? I'll tell you what on paper, this is one of the best teams I've ever seen at newcastle. Whether they can play together is a different question. Give them and Pardew a chance, we have a better squad than the one that finished 5th.

Now is not the time to say things like that.

Jtoon loves Newcastle so much so he is blinded by love and loyalty. #rosetintedspecs.

JToon, If this is one of the best teams you've seen at Newcastle then you must be about 13 or 14 years old. Stick to your Xbox son.

I love The Toon with a passion but there is no way we will ever go forward under this regime. It's all about money making for Ashley, as long as he makes a nice little profit he's happy. I'm sure he thinks we are one of his C**p shops.

No, you can call me deluded, 14years old, blinded, rose tinted specs all you want but at least I know you are the ones who have been blinded by all this negativity. I know my football very well, and listening or reading your comments are so aggravating it sounds like you only just became a supporter yesterday. The fact that you are writing this season off already is appalling. Yes we have had some bad weeks in appointing kinnear, not bringing in any players (soon we will though) but to write us off completely is just ignorant. it's like you want us to do bad. You cannot judge the players straight away from trying to settle in at a difficult time in january, and trying to gel in pre season. Look at manchester united, they just lost another pre season game! Does it matter? NO. Pre season is about getting match fitness and gelling. Yes it is nice to get a winning mentality but you cannot judge our squad like that.

Krul-Top top goalkeeper wanted by lots of clubs in europe.
Debuchy-French regular international, still settling in, great right back I look forward to seeing the best of him next season.
M'Biwa-I still can't believe we got him. for just 6m, a champions league club captain. Why did we get him? because we were the bigger club and he wanted to leave.
Coloccini-Team of the year 11/12?
Santon-Great potential, great attitude, will become a top class player.
Tiote-Great attitude, absolute beast 10/11 and 11/12. but last season was out of form but if we play well he will return to good form.
Sissoko-Bargain, great box to box powerhouse, great potential.
Cabaye-Top top class midfielder, chased by man u, arsenal, psg and monaco.
Ben Arfa-Another top top player. Our "Mercurial One" great attitude, loves the club loves the fans as we love him, almost unplayable 11/12.
Gouffran-Id say he's a decent player, maybe not top but good player for us.
Cisse-Although he looks likely to leave, he is a top striker.

That is why I know we've got a top squad. Pardew is a good manager, maybe is a bit clueless sometimes (Like 12. 13) but he got us to 5th playing some great football.

i'm simply just sweeping bits of news like appointing joe kinnear, to the side because I know its for the benefit of the club, ok maybe it could of been a different DOF but anyway. Things like not making a signing yet, I know we will because you simply cannot judge by what the media report. Ashley, kinnear and charnley aren't just going to be sitting on their ar$es all day doing nothing, they will be in negotiations for 3 or 4 players because they know we can't have a season like last one again, and ashley knows that especially well, who will learn from his lessons from not buying enough players to cope with europa.

You will probably just scan through that, and just pluck something else from the air to moan about and try and contradict me, and you probably won't listen to my opinion simply because one person isn't going to change your mind.

Its just really frustrating reading some people's negative comments on here, because they are so blinded by what the news reports and just judge from pre season. I'm not going to reply back if you do happen and probably will just throw my opinion and point out the window and continue to be negative and moan all the time. The main point here is that its a new season, new things and we should get behind the team not write them off. I bet you lots of fan's minds will change when we bring in a few players like Remy and Gomis.

Our squad could be amazing on paper but for some reason they're poor on grass which is all that matters.
Yes you're correct the results in preseason are irrelevant but the performances are important yet we still struggle to pass, look poor defensively, still can't play with this 4231 formation and the most worrying thing is Pardew thinks we played good Yesterday.
You say Pardew is a good manager, what is that based on? Finishing 5th once? Why was he dropping down the leagues?
