News Thump. It's like if the Daily Mash and the Poke had a baby, but they were first cousins.

Time for him to get unsettled and hand in a transfer request.

Gerraway man

Just managed to get into a pub as they were teeing up the free kick. I'll leave again.

Happy new year folks! Shame I'm spending it at work

I just burst out laughing.

Tried to sign up for that new customer offer from Coral on nufc.com through the link where you can get 6/1 on him being the Championship top scorer. Funnily enough, for both myself and my mate who tried it, they let us sign up through the link, deposit cash and the bet was nowhere to be seen. Text chat support say I signed up with an offer of free bets if I bet a fiver or something, which is funny because I'd never seen that signup page until they linked me to it and I distinctly remember Gayle's toothy grin on my sign-up page. Just to save anyone else bothering with it.

Not been able to read the thread as I'm in the ground but did we get a free kick in their half for an offside? Gayle's goal seemed like an optical illusion, was the opposite of those ones where it hits the side netting or goes behind and you think you've scored, didn't move from my seat till it bounced back out of the net, no fucking idea how he got it in. Forest have been dicks the entire time, Mills seemed to get booked for dissent, turned around, threw the ball at Gayle and the fourth official spotted it.

See this lot stole a Munich tribute flag from Man U fans who'd hung it outside a pub so they could pose with it upside down like pure hard Russian ultras. http://i.imgur.com/mf8XSi8.png

Was impressed we got over 52,000 in the second tier yesterday but then I realised how stupid that was and how the real gauge of how well supported a team is is how long the match thread is on a random fan message board. http://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/just-looked-on-mag-forum.1312271/

They were the better team and deserved the win. Highlight of the match was the aggro next to me between someone old bloke and a younger lad behind him. Old fella had a go at Ritchie and the young lad behind him called him up on it, so they ended up having a strop at each other until the younger lad called him a helmet. "What was that mate" "I said shut up, you helmet." So they had a bit of a stand off, and sat down, fuming, until the board went up and Ritchie went over to the touchline, when the older bloke span round "SEE! Fucking telt ya!" and they had another row about if Ritchie should have been taken off or not, and if being taken off showed he'd had a bad game or of it was because he was being let down by the players around him. Then they sat down seething again until the ball came to Ritchie and they both realised he'd not been taken off at all, absolutely creased up at how daft they'd been, put their arms around each other and made up. Touching Christmas moment

They've colour coded the letters in an attempt to help people get it

Not sure if this bit is a joke or not

Wey give owwa man! Very mackemesque to bury your head and not accept the fact he made racist comments to someone, he's been found guilty. You don't brush that s*** under the rug because he's doing alright on the pitch, especially with team mates of the same origin. Like I say I'll wait to hear their findings, if its beyond excusable then I'd be happy to get rid, if it's blown out of context then I'd be willing to see him stay. If he had said " you black whatever" I would be the first one to condemn him. Wasn't it a comment about cous cous or something man. Hardly nazi type stuff is it, let's have a bit of context. That cous cous stuff was made up by someone on here ffs All over the comments on the club's Facebook post The board's created a monster

What are these sinister things?

fuck

The lights thing actually generated an atmosphere. It's more than most people do in the ground to create one. Need to have the Wyatt family theme going on at the same time then it'd be over for me lol. We've previously come out to Kurt Angle's theme for some reason.

I don't understand how it spread, because you can only see the lights from the other side and it's only noticeable if there's lots of them. Was reasonably funny that there was such a clear cut off point where the away fans started.

Bray Wyatt in the crowd Who?! The New Face Of Fear.

What were the Wyatt family fireflies about? About ten minutes into the second half it looked like a Barry Manilow concert.

Can they not strip him of it retrospectively. like they do with MBEs, knighthoods and that?
