Popular Post Corky Posted 1 February 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 1 February 2019 If we finish 10th then that will be 7 out of 13 seasons in the top 10 in the Premier League. How is that punching above our weight when it's the more common outcome? All of this "what used to be" is just nonsense. Clubs, and the game, move on. We should be judged on what happens at the moment, not 20 years ago. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even think it's moronic from commentators at every game to bring up the statistics, how many draws, wins or loses were between two clubs in Premier League history, it's so lazy. A team of swans can turn to ugly ducklings overnight, or the opposite, but people and pundits especially always feel compelled to bring back what happended X years ago, like it had any relevance for the current team of players.

Some people are truly deluded. The media love the narrative that Newcastle are this huge successful club when really they are not. They are just in a big city with a loud fan base. They've not won the league for nearly 100 years and their last FA cup success was 70 years ago. Last trophy they had was a forgotten European Trophy in 1969. We've had a lot more recent success than them even in the last 30 years. Absolute joke to suggest we are a backwards step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrokenRecord Posted 7 February 2019 Share Posted 7 February 2019 Really wouldn't surprise me if we were doping that season. Weren't we one of the least fit teams in the league the season before, then all of a sudden next season getting highest km per 90, pressing like mad, and we've never been able to do it since. Obviously Kante played a massive role in that, but we have never looked at that level of fitness since. I imagine most clubs are doing it to be honest, so I couldn't give fvck either way.

Obviously Kante played a massive role in that, but we have never looked at that level of fitness since. I imagine most clubs are doing it to be honest, so I couldn't give fvck either way. Seriously doubt it. Arguably the players who did the most running around in that squad were the likes of Okazaki, Albrighton, Vardy, Drinkwater and Kanté. The back four were solid and defensive and didn't venture too far forwards, and Mahrez didn't track back all that much. Of those 5, Kanté left the next season and Vardy/Drinkwater were carrying injuries (probably brought on by an intense campaign the year prior), so its no surprise we dropped off a bit. Okazaki was only ever capable of around an hour at his ridiculous energy levels, and Albrighton is the one player who's carried on at that same fitness level - although he plays with his heart on his sleeve and leaves everything out there every match. Given how he played through injury so much if any of our players was doping it'd be Vardy, but given how (disproportionately) often he was being tested for both us and England it'd be a major shock if he slipped past the testers. Plus, Ranieri tried changing the style of play in that second season as he knew the PL winning form wasn't sustainable. It proved his downfall, but certainly contributed to the lower levels of fitness since then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlloverthefloorYesNdidi Posted 7 February 2019 Share Posted 7 February 2019 Would be an even more incredible feat if we'd drugged and cheated our way through that season It would mean we planned for one season to play well enough with the aid of drugs and favourable decisions to shoot up the league Even a top team would struggle to win the league with a little bit of help from drugs and refs. If we masterminded the whole thing, well, thats as incredible and freakish as us winning the title without drugs and cheating refs Its the difference between the stars aligning for a fluke underdog win or a genius strategic victory which would require a god like level of planning. Both pretty good 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ealingfox Posted 7 February 2019 Share Posted 7 February 2019 It's just weird that we found a way to systematically dope without being caught and rigged the entirety of the national and international football authorities in our favour but only decided to be good for one season. Shouldn't we be on the back of consecutive quadruples following the 15/16 title? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
