  1. Ok it’s been too long now given the state of this thread
  2. I'm harking back a few pages here but when was football ever about values and morals? Isn't it about winning FFS? What values and morals has football excelled in? A sense of community, based around what? Going to the match? Is that changing? I'm perplexed by all of this talk TBH, it sounds like nostalgia for something that never existed. Reminds me of something...
  3. Ok, now I’m starting to think someone at NUFC is leaking this because there was a similar one on PF
  4. No but the losing team have to give us all of their players for nowt.

    What a waste of time. Do some charity volunteering or something?
  6. Agreed. How involved was he in getting AS to NUFC in the first place?
  7. Voted Fonseca. I’d love Rafa back but he’s not breaking contract. If we’re taking a chance on an unknown I want some balls to the wall attacking. We deserve it.
  8. Just bought 4 tickets for the Brentford game, feels absolutely class to be back.
  9. Reckon OGS walks before he's pushed?
  10. I don’t mind them being around us but I didn’t sign up for them being in us.
  11. The only Everton fan I know personally is very down to earth and reasonable. I’ll never understand how anyone can legitimately think that ascribing personality traits/views to whole swathes of people based on which football team they support is sensible. It’s absolutely mental.
  12. Come on now. Tarring all supporters of one team with the same brush is wrong. We ALL personally abused Bruce, remember?
  13. You don’t know what people are or aren’t trying to guilt me into, so that’s a bit of an odd response TBH.
  14. Not sure I’d entirely agree with that. Some people feel football support on a level that I don’t, for some people it’s a compulsion. Some people maybe don’t have much else to do, follow, be interested in? Ultimately yes they do have a choice, but it’s not as simple as buying an ethical brand of soap powder over another one, it’s much more complicated than that.
  15. I’d echo the the sentiments of others who have rightly, as I see it, pointed out that modern elite football is brutal capitalism in it’s purest form. I don’t tend to like brutal capitalism, but I do like football and I do like NUFC. We’ve won the lottery, nice one. We were due a bit of luck. I’ll not be guilted into not watching NUFC by anyone. I made my decision to not follow the club under Ashley (latter years) and I’ll make my own to follow them again now. As others have said, I’d encourage NUFC fans not to engage in this with other fans. It’s absolutely pointless looking for hypocrisy anywhere never mind in football, everyone is guilty of hypocrisy. Football support is tribal, emotional, raw, passionate (unless you objectively choose an already successful team to follow) and it’s full of hypocrisy. You don’t win anything for being the most morally virtuous club, there are no points available for moral victories. Either choose to follow this NUFC, and own it, or don’t. Don’t try to whatabout other fans arguments because if they’re coming from a human rights angle, they’re correct and you’re on a hiding to nothing. And if they’re coming from any other angle it’s jealously. Just smile, wink, and count your money.
  16. Ashley and Bruce in bed together.
  17. I can tell you categorically now that the majority of our fans are idiots, but that's not unique to NUFC.
