What is So wrong with Newcastle United

To ask one, what is so wrong with the club that had briliantly smashed Leeds United at the peak of their perfomance back in 2001, or better yet, hampered Man. United with an amazing score of 5-0 back in the days of Gary Speed? If the club should be one like Man United, then three years afterwards, they wouldn’t have that much of a problem dealing with bottom clubs like West Bromwich Albion, but the facts tell otherwise. The “new deal” inside Newcastle United had succesfully forced the club to a blunt end; 14th place, might not be the worst, but certainly far away from the best, especially regarding that last year NUFC came 4th! Then, what happened during the last 10 or 12 months to our dearest Tyneside Club that could only be charged as responsible in pulling our Club even lower to the underground?
First, NUFC brought Lee Bowyer. So maybe he isn’t the bad seed of the Magpies, nor has he not been one of the best, but frankly, every club that he has been into as a player had gone from Big Names to Relegated Names. One to mention is Charlton Athletic. Okay, so he made it big back then, and made a mark as the most expensive teenager in 1995, but after he joined the club for several season, the club went downhill faster than the Rolling Stone. Then, after Charlton, it was Leeds United. Now, he definitely made it big here, and even got the European Champions League Top Scorer. But look at what becomes of Leeds two seasons after,..they got relegated, something that mno one would ever thought even had the chance of happening, I mean, they have Alan Smith, and Danny Mills,..After this club, Lee moved on to West Ham, and after spending a short spell in this London Club, he scored a goal, gathered some cards, and shortly before the season ends, the Club is sure to be relegated. Can it be that he is a walking-living jinx to English Football? Anyhow, I still think that it would not give much of a change to Newcastle United’s cursed path.
The first line of evil which is responsible in driving the road even more downhill to The Magpies is definitely defence. In this particular department, we are sure to see the one of the lousiest defence in the land of the Premier league. The only thing hanging them to the mediocre part of the table is their ability to score amazingly brilliant and crucial goals before the half time whistle blows, of course what happened after it shares absolutely no correlation with the first forty-five minutes. Known as the team who conceded most of its goals in the second half, Newcastle United should already tell this by peeping through the edges of their eyes; their defence sucks like hell. How come the 11th richest club can suck so bad in defence? Comparing the Magpies to the other inhabitant of the richest club list is a depressingly hefty to do, especially if you’re a Toon. From my point of view, what lacks in Newcastle United is not specifically a defender, but truly is a Great Defender Figure, preferably Colossal like ones. Manchester United, of course, one of the richest, have Rio Ferdinand, one with the attitude and loud mouth of a Great Defender Figure, as well as the paycheck as one. Liverpool, another good example, even has an ex-Captain Defender Figure in the very much Colossal form of Sami Hyypia. Chelsea most obviously is Skippered by a Great Defender Figure in John Terry, who is by all means a leading figure. To think about it, even at the greater days of Wimbledon, another Defender Figure is famously known as a personification of the Feisty Caesar; Vinnie Jones. Pulling back our analysis to Newcastle United, what made the Magpies forcibly ended up Great Defender-less? If one should try and analyze this phenomenon, then, we can only start at the blunt beginning question of why. First of all, there is the fact that Newcastle United under the previous manager do have a defender, a great one, in deed to have even been chosen to participate in the National team; Jonathan Woodgate. United have unpredictably lost calculation and abruptly sold Jonathan Woodgate to Real Madrid. Now, Woody is a dedicated lad who knows where to put his legs and head at the needed time. His only mistake was, that time in 2001 when he put his legs a kick through the torso of a Pakistani born lad at a Leeds nightclub. Despite the zillion hours of social work, he is a pretty good defender. Even more than that, the young defender might even be a half decade away from his greatness, and a level in being a Great Defender Figure.
Since we don’t have Woody anymore, and we are still stuck with Lee Bowyer, and whatever we have this moment, then maybe this club should might as well deal with it with whatever they have. Maybe this is how the Magpies should deal the large and grandeur world of football. Perhaps the Magpies should be the first Football club without a Great Defender Figure. Perhaps even it can have the first Great Striker Figure in the form of Alan Shearer.
Either way, what we, Magpies fan an only hope for, in whatever formation whatever line up the club hangs its life on, is the best result,...and may the best team wins.
