Yorkie

Absolutely devastated for the lads. Disgraceful decision.

That is so unfair

Came off his chest!!!!!! FUCK OFF

Just... come on lads. Fucking believe in yas.

8? How the fuck

God this is just unbearable

Barcola was quite nightmare at SJP as well like.

We've got away with one there. Clear pen.

Hmm, Gordon just not with it tonight. Must be knackered.

Honestly, he usually does.

Not even registered.

Herculean so far. Rode our luck once or twice but we're well worth out lead on account of the application and quality. Need AG10 to keep his discipline. It'll fall for you, son.

AAARGGHHH

They had early sighters at SJP too. Don't worry.

Enjoy this one, lads.

Yay a night of McCoist being honest with us.

I know the bench is jokes but even if they have to come on the coaching team will have them more than psychologically prepared - they'll do fine. Just look at Miley. The starting line-up is full of quality. Gordon, Isak and Almiron will all trouble them with their flair. Joelinton will carry over his anger. Bruno and Tripps were born for the CL. Livramento is mint. Schär already owns the PdeP. White shorts. Howay the lads!!!

That is already guaranteed. You can want more tonight, I promise ye.

There's going to be some absolutely barnstorming performances tonight. They know it's do or die and I've total faith that they'll live up to it. 2-0 to us.

@Izakaya presumably it's plausible that you'll have another opportunity to take him when he's at an age where he'll really appreciate it? I get the temptation to do it now but if the goal here is for him to revel in his Dad's passions, might the better approach would be to resist and do it when he can't wait to be there? I wrestle with this all the time and I'm not even a parent. Can't bear the thought of having to wait another 7 or 8 years to take my wee'un to the game but I know that's the sensible thing to do. My first game (that age) remains one of my greatest ever memories. I can't remember a thing from when I was two...

Fewwwmin' at the shade thrown at York City in his presser. Especially from that thick bastard Ryder calling it 'KitKat Crescent' presumably for the lols, like it didn't change back to Bootham 13 fucking years ago.

Tomorrow night really can't come soon enough, I am absolutely buzzing for it since the weekend. We can get a great result, I absolutely believe it. Dortmund were just a really tricky customer; seasoned campaigners, tactically spot on, and had the rub of the green. Play them ten times and we'd pinch it five times. But we hammered PSG. And now we're relatively fresh, confident, and Howe himself has said it's quite a one-off. It's a fucking huge game and I absolutely know we can rise up to it. Same team as Saturday and come out the traps at a million miles per hour. Well aware of their quality and the form of their megastars, but I really, really feel like this might just be another one of those nights where Eddie Howe's NUFC just fucking nail it. Can't wait.

If it counts for anything, Howe seemed genuinely mystified by the question in the presser about the owners' tweets re the atmosphere. For all we might bemoan the noise in the ground - with years/decades/generations of experiences to compare with 2023 - the players and staff always seem to be genuinely galvanised by SJP.

Basically like Gordon's against whoever it was (Brentford?) Completely bought. Desperately unlucky but there's a fair argument to give the pen.

Take a lot of satisfaction in watching a couple of decent sides with lots of good players and knowing that we're on a different level to them. Maybe a bit arrogant but it's just the reality. Like, despite there being quality on show here, there's no one here at Schar's level, Bruno's level, Gordon's...
