Pulis is such a *** though, that he would jump ship before relegation was confirmed - as he always does. Just so he can keep claiming "he has never been relegated"
You said you don’t understand what people expect this season.
Well, we all expect to win some games at home this season. If we go on like this until May, we will probably be relegated.
My point is that if the bottom 3 can win games at home, why can’t we ?
Birmingham C 0 - 4 Bristol C 89/90 season
Large following as normal through this promotion season.
Blues were the big fish in Div 3 that year, and this game was always going to be massive.
Loads of trouble before, during and after the game.
The Zulus were not happy at all !!
Osman was also in charge when Cole got sold too.
Not his fault of course that Cole was sold (too cheaply and with no sell on fee - been done on here many times, I know !), but this didn't help his cause.
Cole was sold for £1.75M, and with only a paltry £50k being paid up front by by Newcastle. Our board gave Osman the £50k and he spent it on some bloke called Glen Pennyfather (a part time school teacher). Needless to say this signing did nothing to endear him to the fans.
I always think of the first game the following season, City v Portsmouth.
An incredible game that ended 3-3. We were brilliant going forward with Cole and Jacki, but utter dogshit at the back.
Agree about Newcastle, fantastic city.
However; there are many more grim places up north to take their place, Leeds, Sheffield, Blackburn, Burnley, Bolton to name just a few.
