ffs - the fans in the away end too.

Chucky not on, ffs

His shooting looks gash which is strange as he's actually got quite a good shot on him. He's just "bottled" his chances - which clearly looks like he's nervous/all hopes pinned on him type scenario.

Aye, forgot to mention that, so bad that they were confiscating the stuff for no good reason. People were saying on twitter the club had hired loads of extra stewards from Sunderland or something, meaning Mike Ashley both spoke and spent money to quell this Two blatant signs that they're rattled. Good point, didn't even really think of that. If there were more stewards, this movement proved to really shake things up at the ground. Also, you don't get mentioned on every football blog, website, major news outlet etc in the UK and others across the world by being some failed movement or something, I'm still generally shocked that casual football fans I know here in the US read enough to mention it to me. Pretty awesome.

Regardless of the message, I'm not having anyone give MKSC slack b/c he's fine poster and a good guy. He's crushed by this club, many of us are and you can choose your way of walking away from it all, demanding more, or finding a new thing to do on Saturday afternoons. He'll be back when there's light in the end of the tunnel, and if not, who really cares? His fucking life. He is damn sure better than the defeatist, "well, who else could we realistically bring in?" small timing crap you hear from fans all over.

why the graffiti style text too?

Ahhhh this article. I remember reading this and being so fucking happy. Felt like we had a plan in place, I felt like things were moving in the right direction. We had this exciting team playing 4-3-3 and were signing quality players. (Deep down, I wanted to sack Pardew in the summer and build on with a new top manager and sign new RB (Debuchy), CB (?), LB (?) and another winger.) Fucking hell.

Who genuinely gives a rats arse what others think about us? Seriously, I have never understood this mentality from fans. Btw, outside of the interweb, I find the vast majority of fans who I come into contact with have nothing but good things to say about NUFC and NUFC fans. I work all over the UK, Scotland and Wales and we are regarded as a big club, big fan base, very passionate etc. and who deserve success even. HTT, spot on - I'm out here in the US as many know and you generally get 2 versions of comments - the idiots or the knowledgeable ones. The idiots aren't worth talking about, just stupid casual fans who think they know the sport or the game. In relation to the knowledgeable ones its always "...good lord if they get it right there..." or "When SJP starts rocking...." or "Matches like Chelsea 2-0 and Chelsea 3-2 at home for Newcastle, you can just see the sleeping giant WANTS to be awakened, that giant isn't the players on the pitch, its the fans - give them what they want and they'll roar you to victory" - a good buddy of mine was saying to another trying to explain the potential of our club.

friends of mine feel awful for us, they like generally are unable to comprehend the lack of ambition and the piss take. It's like, "what...wait, this seems like they are doing it on purpose?" "why loan out HBA to a premier league club?" etc.

The man is a broken NUFC supporter, if he chooses to walk away b/c of the pain and frustration it causes him, so be it.

Wishing he was in Ukraine

they'd get banned on site mate

Fuck whoops

I'm sure Carroll was meant to be playing but then got ruled out again with injury and I couldn't believe Best was starting. Ended up winning 5-0 and me giving my best mate , who's a West Ham fan, high fives all the way through the next day My mate who's a West Ham fan sent a mass text before the game with just "hahahahahah Leon Best". f*** knows why, he was basically begging for the outcome. CH had some brilliant batterings man, came out of no where but when we smelled blood in those teams we really went for it. Usually involved Nolan and Barton getting radge and SJP (via the TV) was always rocking, i mean, in those matches we turned people over, you felt the crowd just buzzing. Shame we never saw Hatem much in those sides as I think a CH side + Hatem + AC + Nolan + Barton would have been fun for a season. I mean hell, up until I moved 2 years ago, I had the NUFC 5 - 1 Sunderland match saved on my DVR for years. Would literally just watch it to make me feel better. Mind, i do that now for some of our more fun victories the last few years. Not to derail or side track, Leon Best is Mint.

He reminded me of a friend of mine who was not a footballer by any stretch, was athletic and played on my intramural team here in college (its like a competitive small sided league at uni) and he'd do turns and step overs out of no where, this is a kid who's played the sport maybe from age 5-10 and then not again until h 19-22 years old? Hilarious. Would pull off ankle breaking moves and I'd just sit there like...the fuck man?

I'm sure Carroll was meant to be playing but then got ruled out again with injury and I couldn't believe Best was starting. Ended up winning 5-0 and me giving my best mate , who's a West Ham fan, high fives all the way through the next day Yes, that was it right? AC hurt and we were all thinking well fuck, Leon can't score to save his life and have to rely on Peter Lovenkrands? Fuck! His first goal was ridiculous, took that ball so well at the back past. Remmeber that back heel or turn thing he did to create space for his goal versus Fulham the 5th season?

The over cliched - HBA under Keegan or Sir Bobby but has to be said again. I get chills thinking of KK on the training pitch with Hatem or Sir Bobby smiling away at him during a match.

Quite contrary to the way old Pardle has hung him out to dry in public Spot on that, man.

That hat trick man, I remember being fucking nervous that day (for some reason?) and I remember just being absolutely chuffed at the way he bagged a hat trick and just sort of rose to the occasion, owned the night. Brilliant.

We'll lose this one

7 for me. It stays this way until we get multiple wins in a row - multiple losses in a row heading into December and it's got the makings of relegation season again

I wouldn't. I've cut ties with Pardew completely. If he somehow manages to get some success for us I won't be able to look past it and enjoy. That's what he's done to me, f***ing hate the prick and have for a long long time. Fraud. Week 1 I had optimism, that was the thing. B/c I was hoping (praying) we'd sign a few players and somehow HBA would get back into the team before the window ended. That transfer deadline day killled me.

De Jong's intelligence and quick play (notice that he's eager for 1-2s, generally plays everything first time) - it would be a wonderful thing for Cisse.

What pisses me off is that, if this was Week 1 or 2 of the season, I would went nuts at Cisse's goals. I didn't even get to enjoy them ffs.
