What a load of bollocks from that fat f**ker Steve Curry.
People honestly believe that Newcastle have a divine right to play in the Premier League. They have been crap for years now and its about bloody time they paid the price.
I for one would love to see them go down...I WOULD LOVE IT. (Kevin Keegan....)

If Boro and castle go down, most fans will be happy as they won't have that long away trip to go to.
Perhaps send them into the Scottish league like Berwick ;D

When they last appeared in the 'second tier' they were one game away from the third and had to win at Port Vale to stay up. They managed to do that and then KK came along. Their crowds had dwindled to 16,000 and less. So let no one be swayed by the 'legendary support' or the 'Big Club' title that they so readily proclaim. They are just another club who live on past glories (in their case 50 or so years ago). They have no more right to be in the top division than ourselves and I believe that clubs like them NEED to spend time outside the top division to regain a much needed perspective on the realities of life. I bear them no ill will but just what makes thes clubs think that they are ina any way 'special'.
Reality Callling!!!!

Newcastle should go down as an example of how not to run your club.

Why are Newcastle considered a big club ffs ? The last time they won owt was 1968!!Thats 40 years with nowt, big club my arse,I hope and pray they go down and then we will see if the Geordies are proper fans. Remember Sunderland the season they went up,we played them about christmas time at there place when they were near the bottom and they got about 13 thousand and nowt was said about there support, they then went on that good run that got them promoted and I can remember about 40 odd thousand at there place and the commentator commenting on how great there support was!!Where was he 4 months or so before. i can honestly see them being like us, we had a hard core of about 13 to 15 thousand when we were in the Fizzy pop league I hope ffs the same happens to the mighty we not won owt for 40 years but still a big club Newcastle

Steve Curry is a fat pig. He represents everything there is to dislike - gutter press journalism, creepy fat bastard persona and he 'supports' the shit - hes always rimming rednose and the portugese ladyboy.

roro:
Agree! I'm a pretty level headed 52 year old but I get a bit 'teary' now every time someone mentions Sir Bobby. I don't think that, in England, we really appreciated the bloke enough for his achievements and were far too quick to criticise his minor failings at times.
The bloke was a great manager and an absolute gentleman and it's so sad to see his present predicament.
I apologise unreservedly to him for any petty criticims I may have aimed at him during his time as England boss. The Geordies didn't deserve him!

Dozintheseventees, Bobby Robson was the first English manager I knew. Italy 90 was the first ever World Cup that I watched and to this day it has always been my favourite, I was only eight yet I remember crying & going mad when we lost to West Germany.

What the Premiership needs is some new blood occasionally and someone to shake the whole fat-cat, complacent status quo up. Which is exactly what we are doing - and Hull to an extent in the first half of the season.
I defy anyone who does a quick sweep of different club's supporters not to find that most people think/want Newcastle and Boro to go down. Newcastle did themselves no favours this season with the f***ing farsical soap opera of Keegan going and Boro are just well, what can you say? - Boro.

I really hope Newcastle go the last half decent manager they had was Big Sam who got Bolton to Europe! And Newcastle fans had a hissy fit because he didn't get them up the top end of the League in the first season. They truely are thick cunts who don't know their arse to their elbow. Would love see them go down.

As I said on a thread yesterday somewhere...
We all have problems when we are this end of the table, it maybe through inexperience, or naivety, or bad luck with injuries or a struggling manager. But Newcastle have meticulously bungled every single thing about their club. You couldn't plan a disaster better.
The owner is wanting out and the fans agree. The club is in debt to the owner for hundreds of millions which they haven't got. Ashley will not take a loss on it and so won't sell it for what anyone will pay for it, but he won't invest either. If they get relegated it all gets ten time worse with expensive player contracts and reduced income.
The management is another shambles. Kinnear was brought in to save the club from Hughton who was inept. Then Kinnear goes off sick and so they give it back to Hughton and guess what? It's all falling apart again. Ashley and Wise always reminded me of Laurel and Hardy, ever wonder Keegan walked.
Shay Given was pretty damning of the place when he left. I assume that is a view held by the other players. Owen will walk at the end of the season and I'm sure the other players know this. Of those who probably won't walk will be Viduka, Smith and a few others who must be on a good whack - why would they volunteer for a pay-cut? The better players like Duff and Martins will probably leave at the first chance.
I really think Newcastle are going down. They deserve to more than any other club in the league. In normal circumstances it would probably be quite good for them. It would make them shake themselves up, but it is more likely to send them off in the direction of Leeds.

The Premier League doesn't need any club. It is the clubs who need the Premier League. Very profound. And spot on. I see the Premier League has managed without Leeds United for this long without suffering irrevocably. Usual bullshit from a channel that specialises in the stuff. Pay no heed. |

The reason the likes of Steve Curry believe we need Newcastle in the Premiership for me is simple. Clubs like Newcastle aren’t supposed to be relegated into the Championship when there are clubs like Stoke, Wigan and Hull above the drop zone. That just isn’t supposed to happen in the abstract world people like Curry live in.
There is no such thing as too big to go down, if Newcastle fall it will shatter such illusions and will mean in reality that all but a handful of clubs will no longer feel safe. That for me is called a competitive league something many like Curry would rather didn’t happen. If some had their way the Premiership would be a closed shop, you’d have to pass some kind of means test to be allowed in and then only if certain people approved of you.
In terms of recent history both Leeds and Nottingham Forest were far more successful than the Geordies the Premiership seems to have coped well without either of them for quite some time, why would a side who haven’t won anything since a man walked on the moon be missed more.
I for one think this had been one of the best Premierships for years, competitive at both ends and very few clubs with little to play for. That’s what football is supposed to be about, keeping the excitement going till the very end. If Newcastle go down they will have deserved it, divine right is simply a delusion of grandeur and it would do more than Newcastle good if one of the so called mighty fell. It might open the eyes of a few of the so called experts that simply throwing money around like confetti isn’t a recipe for success.

How it works is if you finish in the bottom three you play the season after in the next division down. And thats that.

No team has a divine right to be in the prem. Just because they get 50,000 to games doesnt give them the right to think they are too big to go down.
Its all bollocks from the media, Newcastle is another club that they have a love-in with over their level of support. The reason they are down there is because they have had a shit season so far and the teams above are performing better than they are. They deserve to be in the bottom 3 on their form.
If we can beat West Brazil and they lose against Chelsea that puts us 5 points clear of them. Lets hope thats the case when the geordies roll in to town.
