Tales from the Toon. The ups and downs of an NUFC supporter....

Well Watford beat you 3 times out of 3 in all competitions.  And both the league games were comfortable.  At some point you have to actually perform in a league season and otherwise concede that you're not as good as you think you are?  And if Sunderland weren't there I think it is correct to say you weren't remotely close to staying up.  It was apparent it was Villa plus 2 out of 3 by about March.

Yeah and chelsea have the 10th best squad in the league.

Pretty deluded.  You were relegated with a game to spare and deservedly so.  Maybe your squad simply isn't as good as you seem to think it is.

Amazing the relegation favourites gaffer gets them 13th and gets 45 points and gets sacked, but Im deluded. How am I deluded to suggest to suggested that squad ability is better than final position, it seems your understanding of squad vs form is equal to your understanding of remotely? Lets be realistic though, you seen your beloved norwich with ighalo get criticised and harry hardon for the hornets got so mad he started being dramatic? Why dont you start your own watford thread, you cant start with a quiz who can name more than two watford players.

The fact that you can't name more than 2 Watford players is likely the reason you have an inflated opinion of your own relegated squad?  I'll leave you to believe Newcastle still have a solid Premier League squad and that the only reason they went down was because they were in poor form.  For 38 games.

I backed the Relegation favs to go down with a certain Mr Dung!!  Don't rub it in John!   

PM me your bank details Dung btw so i can weigh you in!

On a poker forum the fact that you think 38 is a reasonable sample thats funny, granted not as funny as thinking 2 games is remotely different but cheers for the laughs. For serious though I think I can name 6 watford players tho, igloo, deeney, that keeper who was shit at spurs, Enya, john barnes and that bloke who used to play exhibitions at wimbledon with the tash.

So you're not qualified to judge Newcastle's squad compared to rivals assuming you have the same knowledge about Bournemouth and West Brom.  I admire you being guided by blind faith.

Bournemouth underperformed not over performed this season of that much I can be certain. Their two biggest attacking threats were out for the vast majority of the season. I expect them to kick on significantly next season. Especially if they replace Boruc.

Correct.  Was going to say that earlier.  WBA biggest over achievers along with Stoke.

Obviously that was assumed!!!  I was talking less obvious ones.  Numerous good judges had WBA as a bottom 3 side stats wise over the season.

Pullis hey! Saw some tweet at the end of the season about the points his team's have accumulated each season in the premier league and it's scarily close each season. Think Stoke, Villa & WBA were the only worse shots per game teams than United this season.

Nothing more obvious than pulis not getting relegated though.

Newcastle deserved to go down based on the performance over 38 games. You, Villa and Sunderland have been incredibly shit the last few years. Hopefully Sunderland drop next time round.

If you had beaten Watford (a team you think you are better than for some odd reason) in one of the two games you would have stayed up. Now you have away days at Burton.
