With this happening today,it's now even less chance that we will win anything in my lifetime again....43 years and counting.
When I was introduced to Football back in 1971,we ALL had a chance to win silverware before a ball was kicked at the start of the season.
Our 6th place last year was one massive achieving considering the times of today.Stinking rich City,Chelsea and now Newcastle with Footballing giants Liverpool and Man U thrown in.Let's not forget the likes of Arsenal & Spurs either.It's a massive mountain now.
Tbh,why should we bother,when we really have absolutely no hope?
Take me back to pre PL days,when we all could dream..Even Fergie would struggle now to put a title on the table.
Though I am pleased for them Geordie fans that have suffered a lot of crap over the years.Like us,they have seen a couple of generations of fans that have seen us win f*ck all and still have to look on what we did 40/50 odd years ago and be happy with that.
Wouldn't it be fabulous if we had a Football rewind,where clubs had to live on gate and a bit tv money,where all could afford a little dream
Sadly Tel, it's too far gone now mate.
You only have to look down the leagues to see just how unfair it's become.
Great sides of yesteryear are now nowhere to be seen. Derby, Ipswich, Notts Forest will never come close to winning a major trophy ever again.
As soon as money people start chucking their wealth around, they destroy a sport. Look at Boxing, four world champions at the same weight ffs. last time I looked we all live in one world, fucking farcical.
Formula one's another, absolute shite.
Still never mind, when we colonise mars, they can all fuck off there and fuck that up as well. At least the Arabs won't feel out of place, there's plenty of sand there!
Love a cup of Rosey I do.
