That was just home games, their lowest ever was 15 across the season. Derby have the record with 11. My bad, thought that sounded too tragic to be true. Derby's 11 where they took 4 points of us that season, that was painful
-
Looking at Huddersfield's points tally this evening and got me thinking, this lot managed 7 points over a WHOLE SEASON. That's seriously impressive

Went to the Wales vs Trinidad friendly the other night - not much quality on show but Dummett was probably the best player on the pitch as CB. Don't think he'll start today but think Giggs will eventually bring him in to start as CB + cover for Ben Davies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZhT-oI0HpM Time to roll out my sole YouTube video again! Watched this one with an Arsenal fan, won't ever experience anything like it. Wish I was at the stadium mind. The other toon fan I was with went to bed at half time (it was early hours in Oz), gutted.

Maybe for the Europa League that was needed but in Australia you have access to every Premier League game live so I imagine it's just on their equivalent of Sky Sports & Sky Go app. Saturday 3pms they have on a red button / BT Champions league style here. I remember the coverage of the Championship being pretty good too - remember they showed loads of our games live when we were in the Championship first time around. Always thought that kind of access would be mint here, but would kill attendances I imagine.

He was their regular no. 1, I thought. Yup. They had to find a replacement first choice keeper when we went in for him.

Sells up without time for a new owner to make enough investment this window and watches us go down. It's Ashley's wet dream. He's hated the club for years.

How did he get on ? Only heard Radio and brief highlights and sounded to have had a decent game? Woodman in the Chronicle today saying he's gutted to not have been loaned out for regular football and wants to push for a starting place - take paper quotes with a pinch of salt, but would love to see it happen. For now Robs rightly in the team whilst we don't have the luxury of Premier League experienced keepers for choice; but who would you pick should he get injured? Darlow might edge it with his first team experience, but still doesn't fill me with confidence.

Good luck Vern.

Matt Richie has played 12 games and started in 13 of them with 27 assists. Magic!

First NUFC game I attended. Team on the day: 1 Shay Given 2 Warren Barton 2 Andy Griffin 4 Nolberto Solano 6 Steve Howey 11 Gary Speed 14 Temuri Ketsbaia 16 Dietmar Hamann 19 Stephen Glass 37 Laurent Charvet Louis Saha Subs Georgios Georgiadis Andreas Andersson 18 Aaron Hughes 24 Garry Brady 37 Steve Harper We were set high up in the family end, about 15 of us down in Leeds for our 21st birthdays. Ended up getting involved in a massive ruck after Solano scored, seemingly there were quite a few Leeds nutjobs who sat up there aswell. Up top right of the family stand? (If you're looking down at the pitch) - if so I remember that clear as day as I was about 10 rows in front! Remember people tumbling down the rows

Has our away ticket policy changed or are people mixing up terminology? I was under the impression that since Darlington away (sammy scores...), all away tickets require ST or Membership. The sales go .. ST Holders, then if any are left they go to Member. I haven't seen an away game go to general sale for years? If this is still the case, you can only buy 1 ticket per membership BrickTop.

What's the deal with Haidara? Been in training photos for last couple of weeks

Clark grew into it, not great first, better second. Back 4 did a good job, Anita did pretty well snuffing out a few crosses and not giving them much chance to get balls in the box-- did well holding up/winning free kicks late instead of giving it away. Hayden looks dangerous from set pieces, could have scored a couple of headers today.. need to try and pick him out some more. Diame had a good first half, but looked knackered second.. Colback wasn't shite. Got stuck in, got absolutely poleaxed second half not sure how the Bristol player didn't get booked.. Still looks liable to give away daft free kicks, hands all over players still. Sels doesn't look comfortable coming off his line like.. at all. Should have caught instead of punched late second and almost cost us. Gayles finish was class, lovely through ball from Diame, that turn and shot was decent too, didn't realise it hit the post. Bristol were pretty toothless, good to get an away win, but wasn't convincing
-
Played well - was a bit predictable in final third, first half kept finding himself in a position to take it to the byline and get a cross in but cut back onto his right every time (Feel like a natural left-footer would have had a field day today). Tracked back, got stuck in

After years of 5 a side this guy has finally peeled off the last of the Northern Rock lettering. Anyone know if there's a way to get the faint word outline off these shirts? Presuming it's glue?
-
Also whilst this thread is still around.. Darlow qualifies to play for Wales through his Welsh grandad Ken Leek (played for us in the 60s briefly, scored a hattrick on his debut in a friendly). Darlow's turned Wales down before. Probably wouldn't displace Henessey just yet but probably won't get a better chance to play Senior international football!? Danny Ward currently next in line.

Renewed my tournament ticket for the World Cup qualifying campaign. Costing £80 for all home games this time around. The Euro qualifying tournament ticket was priced at £75. Incredible pricing all things considered.
