Ha, I always say that to my mates when we split up to our stands after the pub. I've got the voice pretty nailed on now.

The thing about blaring Hey Baby or Pretty Green Eyes at the end is even if he's correct that the crowd want to sing along with the original, we only have player specific lyrics for ten seconds of the chorus, so for the rest of the time you're standing around awkwardly, unable to sing any toon songs because youre drowned out by meandering verses about how DJ Otzi wants to get knuckle deep in some lass he's creeping on in the street. As for the volume, it's fine in the East Stand which makes me think our speakers are fucked and they have to turn up all the other stands so it reaches us.

Yeah, and Bruno will kick sand in your face and stamp on your sandcastle.

Could you do like Jennifer Anderson, Elliot Anderson's face on Jennifer Aniston's body? Or vice versa? If that's too difficult just do it with John Anderson instead.

That's the spirit

People who just can't see us winning need to get to the bookies, we're clear favourites, evens at best, with the draw 3/1 and a Brighton win 11/4. I agree that I wouldn't go as far as to say we're "clear favourites" from a non-betting point of view. Whether that's because I have been watching us more closely than Mr Paddy Power has, or if it's just the natural pessimism of being a Toon fan I dunno. But I've never met a poor bookie.

Did a proper Ando "Awwwhhh JUST PURRIT IN THE NET!"!"

As we saw with the difference between the Villa and Spurs match, just because something wasn't working at the end of one game, doesn't mean that will continue at the start of the next, because unlike with Bruce we're not just going to "go again" and hope it's magically better, we have a manager and a coaching team who will have looked closely at what went wrong last time and will have been working hard behind the scenes for how to address it. That's not to say it'll work, but the fact you know it can is a cause for optimism. Won't know if I'm confident or not until we're like 10 minutes in.

Be fine man

YES POPEY

That was the first away match I'd been to in ages, specifically chosen cos I was sick of always going to away games and seeing us lose.

Mackem I know doesn't want to come up yet, not sure how prevalent that view is

This been posted yet? Supposedly Gooner was in the family area, pissed up and hoying bottles about, so not just as simple as finding a rival fan in the home end

Haha, he was a fantastic striker for the staff team apparently

He's asked me if I can make some honorary Geordie certificates for his Scottish mates who sit a bit along "I can get them laminated at the same place that do my anti king ones"

Haha, did he teach you French and/or German by any chance?
