How do you rate your club's season so far?

How would you rate your club's season so far?

5. Much better than expected
4. Slightly better than expected
3. On par
2. Just below par
1. Worse than expected

b)Just below par

Thanks for asking!

I suppose our season can be split into 2 parts, Hodgson and Dalglish. So Hodgson would be a c) worse than expected while Dalglish would get a e) on par. I'm no scientist but most of us learnt at school that e-c/x=b

Where are you getting this b, c, & e from? Clearly, I didn't pay much attention is school

Anyways, for Inter I would say 2 - Just below par... we were "worse than expected" under Benitez, but under leo we have been more or less "on par"...

1.

Mainly because I thought with Mourinho we at least would be in the title race and would not be humiliated by Barcelona. Wrong on both counts. I guess I will have more to say. If we don't make the 1/4 finals of the CL the whole season will have been an utter failure.

5. Much better than expected

Pretty much safe with 10 games to go, competing for a europa league spot, and we've had alot of big results.

Newcastle United 6 - 0 Aston Villa
Chelsea 3 - 4 Newcastle United(even if it was only the milk cup)
Newcastle United 5 - 1 Sunderland
Arsenal 0 - 1 Newcastle United
Newcastle United 3 - 1 Liverpool(not really a shock but some seem to be under the delusion that they are still something)
Newcastle United 5 - 0 West Ham United
Newcastle United 4 - 4 Arsenal

To stay up in your first season is one thing, but to start raping like that is something else.

Obviously much better than expected.


The 5-0 will be one of the greatest moments in the club's history.

Despite a small squad compared to other big clubs, the injuries have been under control (assuming the current ones clear up).

The motivation is still good.

The football is still fantastic.

worse than expected

i expected us to play the same football as last season, even more dominant, but overall our football is much much worse, our defence is not better at all

i expected us to lead the table from begin to the end

#4 for Leverkusen

and

#5 for Spurs, mainly based off of our excellent Champions League performance thus far...

Agree with what Glenn Said. I expected around 5th or 6th this season but after a few months of Hodgson my expectations lowered to a top half finish. I now firmly expect us to finish 6th. Don't think we can catch Chelsea or Spurs now but would like to think we'll beat Sunderland and Bolton to 6th.

4- slightly better than expected.

Why

as i was saying after jose's appointment he isn't all that and pep is his equal so i expected us to be on top of the league just not by 7 points.

Things are going as expected in the CL

The copa was always dependent on how seriously we took the cup and who we came up against on the way to the final.

3. On Par,

With the signings and squad depth we added in the Summer and January it's normal and expected for us to be in control domestically as it was a squad designed to compete for the Scudetto, but with our awful full-backs, injuries and general lack of dynamism, consistent pace, low physicality and key signings cup-tied i didn't expect us to provide any genuine challenge in Europe, so it has been an expected season so far.

Obviously if we contrive to lose the Scudetto then it has been a below par season,

To me it's on par with what I expected at the start of this season, worse than I hoped at the end of the last.

During last season we showed a long awaited CL-level attitude, but its extreme success was based on a lot of things clicking together.
I had hoped we would build on that attitude with two-three big signigns to help us sustaining a european top level status, coping with the loss of Mourinho and addressing some limits of our squad that we were able to hide only with Mou's tactics and motivation, and with the superbe performance of the players, especially those deployed off-role.

We chose not to invest, which is fair considering loyalty to the winning squad and respect for Moratti's previous investments, but it just meant that we were going to need luck with injuries and another collective overachievement to be successful again.

Everything that could go wrong went wrong already in the first months with Benitez, while Leonardo, discounting the CL struggle that was quite predictable, has gone beyond any wild hope results-wise so far (if we win this weekend he'll be the debuting coach with the most points ever in Serie A!).
And we got some fairly good signings in January.

So in the end we're on par, we're still in contention for some silverware, the team doesn't play that well but it's still focused and cohese, and that's enough for me
