It’s 2^nd October 2021. Newcastle United have just lost again in miserable fashion, this time away to Wolves. Newcastle have lost four and drawn three of their opening seven league games. The away support at Molineux is jaded, tired, fed up and unusually flat. They can’t even muster the energy to be angry. They have seen this performance before. This is not a club that will ever amount to anything. The best the supporters can wish for is to keep ‘ticking along’ as the manager famously said. The club is unrecognisable in many ways from the club that supporters fell in love with. There is no hope.
