I was on here last week berating people for their pessimism.. However I am starting to get very worried.

1. Robson not happy as MWs departure. This after falling out with the board over the England job.

2. The club can't or won't get class players into the side.

3. Training facilities are cr*p and looks like there is nowhere to train at the moment. Not a good impression for potential signings.

4. MW says the long term coaching arrangement is not clear. So, as we all thought, the club has no long term plan for when BR goes.

All in all, it looks bleaker than i thought. Oh dear.

Remember the days when we couldn't wait for the season to start?

The good news is that at the moment we've got the same points as Manure and Arsenal.

And the Mackems are not only below us in the table, but in the relegation zone. ;-)

Lynda, I couldn't agree more: everything is always such a bloody drama at Newcastle. If Bobby goes, we are stuffed...

Are we Dougal? Whilst I can't see him ever being sacked, I don't think the board would try too hard to keep Bobby. Take away the emotional ties, there isn't much to get exited about. Some strange decisions in the tranfer market, some squad selections alienated a couple of players who if they were in Shearer's & Lee's clique would have been as big news as TDO's man management skills. A lack of fitness throughout the squad, poor results & no distinct style of play.

If Keegan wasn't at City, I wouldn't be surprised if there were behind the scenes talks with the main man.

Dave - lack of continuity is at least 50% to blame for our current predicament and there NO decent, unattached managers so we'd end up with some twat like George Graham. That, in my book, is stuffed.
