This bit is basically closer to reality but has been replaced by some kind of adherence to another messiah type where acceptance of the football dished out seems to be the norm as some kind of fear factor of losing a so called world class name that somehow puts Newcastle United back on the footballing map.

Not in my book it doesn't but this piece is closer to the real bone in my honest opinion of being a Newcastle United fan for over 47 years.

“If Big Sam sent a team out to play like this he’d get hammered. This isn’t Newcastle. Toon fans I know would rather lose 5-4 than win 1-0 like this.”
