It is the normal way yes that Newcastle fans behave but it is the same pattern every season of hope and disappointment. I do agree though that we should not expect things to improve overnight, the ragtag collection of players we have at the moment does not gel well together. I can't see Sammy going yet though, i cannot imagine Newcastle want to continue the revolving door of management spinning there. At the root it is the problem of players not working well together and a club with higher expectations than the reality, it has been like this for about the last 8 years at Newcastle.
