I'm getting frustrated with what people know about Newcastle, and the same inaccuracies and outright lies that are spoken of as fact. But I guess it's only fair if we as a fan base don't really know what's going on with other clubs, isn't it?
As I understand it:
Arsenal - fans are frustrated that Wenger sticks to a transfer policy that seems to focus on diminutive creative midfielders, only rarely addressing the very real weaknesses in their squad. They've never replaced Vieira despite having both the pull and the funds to attract some of the biggest players on the planet to North London. They are also baffled by the inevitable loss of form that ends their title run. Right now they're more confident because they appear to be winning ugly (as they did against us) and doing so without their 1st choice 11 on the pitch.
Aston Villa - miserable boring cunts finally getting what their poor support deserves. That aside I think they share our contempt for the ownership. Lerner has spent a fuck ton, but they're paying the price for a lack of investment and a lack of planning I think they're happy enough with Garde and feel the state of play is due to what's come before rather than anything he's doing/not doing.
Bournemouth - happy with their lot in life, cursing injuries to key players and expensive purchases. Probably want more spent but I'm guessing they'll be more confident about survival now, than they were in August.
Chelsea - Blame the players for their situation, and a legacy of buying the wrong personalities. Angry about the number of promising kids they've seen fail to cement a place & so fuck off somewhere else, only to end up becoming the kind of player that Chelsea could probably have done with.
Crystal Palace - Probably delighted with the spotlight that Pardew brought with him, they'd not have got anything like the attention if they'd given the job (and had the season they're having) under Garde or his ilk. I reckon there's rumbling of discontent given their recent and dramatic loss of form.
Everton - Love the football when they win, moan like stuck whores when they lose. Hate Kenwright because he's not wealthier.
Leicester - forearms the size of Morocco. Probably want to buy some players from a strata that had previously been unavailable to them.
Liverpool - Can't believe the FA, the Media and Man Utd still get away with such a blatant conspiracy, one that's kept from their rightful title for 20 odd years. Also nobody is paying attention to the Hillsborough tragedy.
Man City - Reckon they're happy with their owner, their manager and most of their players. Probably baffled as to why they can't regularly win without Kompany given the amount they've spent on CBs. Probably going to be a few kids called Sergio.
Man Utd - It's the Owners fault. It's LVGs fault. It's the players fault. It's too much so now I reckon they're happy with their owner, their manager and most of their players. Probably baffled as to why they can't regularly win without Kompany given the amount they've spent on CBs. Probably going to be a few kids called Sergio.
Norwich - Confident of staying up, think more needs to be spent, happy with Alex Neil. Bet they're unhappy with a perceived bias in favour of bigger clubs.
Southampton - Guessing they're unhappy with the apparent stutter that this season has been. They'll still be hoping for 7th or so, delighted with Austin, but want shot of Wanyama.
Spurs - Best team they've had in ages, good young players, good local lad leading the line, professional manager who isn't an embarrassment, owners that aren't afraid to spend. Probably pretty smug right now.
Stoke - Similar to Spurs, happy with the team, manager and owner, but I guarantee they've a chip on their shoulder about bigger clubs.
sunderland - Easy. Blame the owner, blame the players, split on the manager, confident they'll survive, don't care as long as they beat us again.
Watford - probably glad all the attention is going on Palace and Leicester. Flores is doing brilliantly at what was a basket case club prior to promotion. I'd expect them to have been worried about relegation but will now be hoping for top half finish.
West Brom - No idea. Probably revelling in Villa's travails, likely to want more spent, likely think they deserve more credit, likely aren't enjoying the football under Pulis.
West Ham - Club folk hero leading them to glory with footballers who play the "West Ham" way in Payet and Lanzini et al? I'd guess their forearms are the size of Morocco too.
(Yes work is very quiet, no this didn't take me long and I wrote it because I was bored)
