Do people actually call it the Cathedral on the Hill? I’ve heard it before, but I thought it was more of a Geordie Nation type thing. The distance from the bus station is a wild reason against though. 😂 Our whole future decided on whether a handful of people can get the 10.20pm bus to Cramlington when we have a night match. The last train north at the moment is before 10pm.

Was going to say. Used to park down there quite a bit and there’s a steepish hill up to the arena and loads of steps up if you go under the Redheugh Bridge.

It’s died quite a few times then.

I went to Broncos-Commanders in 2023 and was surprised at how much abuse the Commanders fans were dishing out to the home fans around me, despite there being no segregation. A few times I thought it was going to get nasty.

I apologise for taking my Thai friend studying over here to one of the friendlies in the summer.

Cringe

Good idea. Other clubs forums have stuff like that I’m sure. Well, I remember a Liverpool one with some cringe title names.

I’d rather a thread each for the other 19 tbh.

There was a game at the back end of 2023 where SJP cheered as Burn came off just as badly as that.

Assuming we don’t do something stupid and get a man sent off, I won’t be happy if we don’t win this one. We’re on brilliant form and they’re as low as they’ve been in decades, with their captain out. We really need to be beating them.

Probably. Ha. The defeat was when Ramage damage teed up the Rooney screamer.

Wise to put out a huge price tag and hopefully stop a load of unsettling low ball bids. He’s one of the best strikers in the world and the price tag has to reflect that.

Anyone want to donate me a ticket? Been 4 times. 2 wins, a draw and 1 defeat. 😁

We look as good as we have since points of the season finishing 4th, if not better in the last few games. The criticism a month or so ago was still valid though. The next three games will tell us even more too as we’ve fluffed a lot of big games over the past few years.

Decent up the back of Gallowgate I thought. More and more people are starting to stand further along towards the Milburn in the back few rows.

And Souness.

Finishing behind these Spurs and Man Utd teams would be a failure, regardless of squad costs.

We’re not going to do anything in January, let’s be honest. We’d probably need to sell someone from a position of weakness, then overspend.

Exactly. We weren’t far off Liverpool around that time. They replaced Houllier at the right time and brought in an ambitious replacement. We totally fucked it, made a mess off it, did it at the wrong time and brought in a truly horrendous replacement. ‘Sacking Bobby’, wasn’t the issue.

What’s ’Sir Bobby all over again’ supposed to mean. Are the people talking this nonsense 20 and been listening to Mackems?

Let’s be honest, regardless of the whole Guehi shambles, he was correct in the summer. The transfer business has been nowhere near good enough after the first window and Isak/Gordon.

Unfortunate as he’s been amazing for us in the past, but I think it’s time to look elsewhere.

Well he didn’t write on his socks or his shirt, did he. He’s deliberately chose not to clarify it either, despite clearing making his own statement. Again, this is different from just choosing not to wear it which should be perfectly fine. Nobody should be forced to actively support something. Guehi has done something different. I actually don’t think any action should be taken against him as the whole campaign is a farce, but people have a right to judge him for actively deciding to do what he has done.

I actually hate what’s going on here. It should be an optional thing for one week or something. Those deciding to wear them should be actively making a decision to do it to show support. Because of the way the Premier League play it, with the media then pointing fingers and trying to get debate going around it, it just means that the statement is NOT wearing it, rather than people wearing it to show support. I’ve no idea what Bruno thinks and if he’s actually showing support for example. I have no issue with what the Ipswich lad is doing. Nobody should be forced to show support for anything. I do think Guehi is being a bit of a prick though. Just don’t wear it if you don’t want to show support. It’s petulant and pathetic. Anyway, the most annoying thing here for me is because it looks like this campaign is being forced on players rather than it being a choice, it becomes another one of these culture way/identity politics issues. It’s hardly a wonder there’s a backlash to this kind of thing when people are being shamed for not toeing the line expected of them.

Can only imagine myself being annoyed whatever happens tomorrow.
