At the risk of repeating myself, someone at the Premier League/UEFA/FIFA needs to publicly acknowledge what we all know: people make mistakes. Until that happens, and is reflected in policy, we won't get any closer to a working system. The 'clear and obvious' clause is a get out. They need to amend that to the VAR official disagreeing with the decision leading to requesting that the ref looks at it again.

I can see it, like, his top speed is noticeably lower than most others. He will adjust to the speed of the league and it won’t be an issue. Cabaye wasn’t quick either.

We got noticeably worse when he came on.

I’m totally on board with this Everton collapse now that we’re safe and I’m not concerned about us. I want us to win on Thursday more than I have any game since we last played them.

Drop kick these cunts into the sun.

Great day TBH. We’re fine, look at Everton

Everyone totally chilled about that then aye? Hope Eddie goes full Keegan.

I was in Sammy Jacks for that game with about 300 other people. Never seen a reaction to a goal like his second in that game outside of 1-4 at the SOL. Everyone lost it

Assumed it was an ironic Alan Partridge quote TBH. Are they serious?

I’ve got all the details I need, killing anyone for any reason is minging. Doesn’t make me feel much either way though, I’ve long since stopped agonising about things happening in other parts of the world that I can’t do anything about.

I’m having a few quid on that like.

9/1 to win.

The first season ticket that was mine, paid for with my own money, was his first season owning the club I had wanted one for ages before that but couldn’t afford it, used to go with my dad’s ticket a lot in the Bobby years when he couldn’t go. When MA took over I was excited like most were, looked like we were really about to push on. Obviously from Keegan walking out it was all downhill but I vividly remember where I was and what I posted on here when he appointed Pardew, it became blindingly obvious what his use for NUFC was at that point. I remained a supporter, kept my season ticket on for a few seasons but eventually ended up going to uni as a mature student and couldn’t afford/justify going to see Pardew overseeing 0-3 losses at home to the mackems. I got very, very angry about it for a while, would tell anyone within earshot that a total boycott was the only way and I still lecture people to this day on Pardew. Eventually just ended up completely numb, I remember a home game under Rafa (maybe Birmingham) around Christmas time when Barry Bannan ran the show and I just sat there, looked it at, and felt nothing. I was only there as part of the annual lads trip to SJP at Christmas. That was the last time I went to SJP prior to the Brentford game this season. As soon as the takeover news was confirmed I bought myself and my lad memberships and we’ve been to as many games as possible. Despite an almost total boycott of SJP in the latter years one thing I did do was make sure my boy knew he was an NUFC fan, getting kits for him and showing him bits of NUFC games. I also shouted ‘Shearer’ at him every time he kicked a ball to the extent that he does it now naturally despite having very little idea who he is beyond being the bald bloke on MOTD. I’m absolutely desperate for us both to have season tickets now. He’s still only 6 but he’s happy watching the match and loves the whole game day experience. It’s as much for the future as for now. I know fathers and sons, and I know how important that one (or two) shared interest is.

Just my opinion but I’m not sure about the flags hung from trusses/pulleys. There’s something unique about a surfer flag moving over a heaving mass of people. Hanging it from the roof just not the same vibe IMO, looks like Slipknot are about to start playing and it’s going to drop.

I find statements such as ‘football clubs are different, they should be protected’ really odd. Well, yeah, but there’s absolutely nothing that isn’t subject to rampant capitalism, including all of our personal relationships. Why should football be any different? For example, if we’re not making moves to ensure that we can properly raise our kids without sending them to nursery when they’re 6 months old, which impacts massively on their development and ultimately their mental health, why are we bothered about football?

Loved Pardew, massively wary of Rafa until it was undeniable.

Sounds like he shouts genius as he kicks it? Doesn’t matter really like.

I love that his shout of ‘genius’ as it went in was actually appreciation of the back post corner and the knock down

Ando man

What they can change is allowing ST holders priority access to buy additional tickets by not automatically making them members. If we're trying to get to as 'fair' a system as possible it's an easy win IMO.

We don’t talk about Bruno…

Fuck this shit.

Who the fuck is Craig Russell and why do they care?

Beautiful close control. Has a way of positioning it very well so opposition can’t nick it.
