Two Newcastle United matches played so far - This is not the time for a Geordie Inquisition.
I thought in my time that I’d seen everything and that nothing to do with football and in particular, Newcastle United, would shock me.Readers of all ages beware, there’s a history lesson coming up later.
Really? After TWO games? We’ve beaten Aston Villa 5-1 and we’ve narrowly lost to the treble winners and likely this season’s Champions in a narrow 1-0 defeat.at St James’ Park on Sunday. The walkout at the end of the Wolves game that season was shocking and a vote of no confidence in the manager and his players. In the early weeks of the 2004/05 season Sir Bobby Robson paid the price for that 5th place finish and the displeasure of both crowd and boardroom.
Direct parallels can be made to where we were 21 months ago. Bobby transformed the club with the minimum of fuss and now Eddie Howe has done the same in double quick time. It may be uncomfortable for some fans wanting progression but if we finish 5th this season, matching that “disappointment” of 2004, and yet STILL get a shot at the Champions League next season. Will there be an outcry? A mass walk out in the last home game in May? And if so, why? The target will have been achieved. It won’t be our fault if the goalposts for qualification have been moved.
