The play-offs came to mind; Southend and that god awful '88-'89 relegation year too. But like you say, I always kidded myself there was a brighter future just around the corner.<BR/>"There's only one direction" sums things up unfortunately.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15645029568785897293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25115048.post-41801751427821601772009-01-13T17:36:00.000+00:002009-01-13T17:36:00.000+00:00unfortunately we're just frozen in 11th due to las...unfortunately we're just frozen in 11th due to last week's cold snap..once the temperatures go up again it's back to the slippery slope... and being the eternal optimist I'd say we get a few mediocre-at-best loanees that'll slip on that slope first chance and make the purchase of a few more tables for the treatment room neccessary...<BR/>there's only one direction really, innit?!?MaryKwizMizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919297610220666478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25115048.post-76267969220887769672009-01-13T13:01:00.000+00:002009-01-13T13:01:00.000+00:00“I can’t remember a more depressing time to be a f...“I can’t remember a more depressing time to be a fan of Newcastle United.”<BR/>My initial reaction to that statement was ‘I can.’ Being beaten 4-0 on a freezing cold New Years day at Southend was a particularly low point. Losing to the Makems in the play-offs felt like dying and going to hell.<BR/>But on reflection you are probably right. No matter how bad it has been in the past I always had hope and could always see a brighter future. Kinnear will save us from relegation in the short term, but we are on a long term decline under Ashley and Wise. St James’ park will seem awfully empty with gates of 15,000.Bryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08977396587904008254noreply@blogger.com
