  1. I honestly don't care who we get. If we're going to win this we'll need to see off one or two of the sky six. Even if it's only 2 and a half weeks away, as dodgy as we've been looking I am never surprised when we pull a random cracking performance out of our arse. We'll either manage it or we won't.
  2. He better be forced to watch this shite as part of his severance package.
  3. If that sequence isn't seeing us score then let's just fucking go home now. Jesus christ.
  4. Holy shit ref just managed our best defensive play of the night. I'd be apoplectic as a Blackburn fan.
  5. Considering its away fan turnstiles are we sure it's not because we've forced Blackburn to enforce our away ticket spot checks? Might still be our fault.
  6. End of an era. We'll always have those towering EFL Cup performances that saw off the Manchesters, my sweet. Best of luck to him, though. I expect he'll land in the Championship and hope he gets a good injury-free end to his career.
  7. Obviously I know Local Hero is iconic but it'd never properly hit me until recently, maybe not being local. First time I would've heard it was probably my first ever game at SJP as a 14 year old so I blame my dad for not teaching me right. Then we were sifting through Shadows music for his funeral last year and I discovered their version which probably hits more for me due to dad' s love of them. Never imagined I'd ever be a blubbering mess pre- match against Burnley. But that was the next match I could attend. Suddenly felt totally different. Fuck the PL's non-descript pre-match noise foisted upon every club getting in the way, too. Yet more sterilised bollocks.
  8. Sorry I can't keep up. Are we now gutted at the prospect of more input from Howe because he's going to sign British cloggers? I thought we were excited because we decided that darn rat Ashworth was the clear problem behind our recent transfer disasters and we were having a jolly old time before he stuck his nose in?
  9. I was guttedly texting non-NUFC mates about the Arsenal match on Monday and after the last message I could be arsed responding to just thought to myself "never before have I felt gutted at the prospect of 'just' a top ten finish". Really does put it in to perspective sometimes.
  10. Like so many rules introduced to hamper us, I don't think it's a coincidence that time wasting rules got introduced this summer after we used 'tHe DaRk ArTs' to such great effect. I wouldn't be surprised if Howe has this in mind and has toned it down in fear of refs gagging to make an example out of the team that everyone decided were the worst for it last season. At least that's how I felt at the start of the season. It's gotten even worse considering the length of time some our biggest shithousers have had out.
  11. Shocked at how 'young' he is. Feels like a blast from a much longer ago past.
  12. Couldn't happen to a nicer tryhard.
  13. Does Liverpool winning at least keep alive the prospect of Conference League qualification from 7th place?
  14. His commentary is quite subtle tbf so you could be forgiven for not noticing.
  15. Have to wonder how we may have fared if he was available for us last night. Questions to be asked there for sure.

    Any other team and I'd assume they'd have the self-respect to tell him I bet he would and he could get fucked.

    A few years ago now and EFL-related but a Google found this which seemed to be part of a conversation around signing Mújica at Leeds: Maybe revolves around clubs evidencing that they think a player still needs literal youth development and isn't ready for the first team? Better actually get back to work so this will probably take over my evening when I finish until I remember I'm too dumb to understand all this bullshit.

    What was the question after about being classed as an academy player and not counting toward FFP? Did I hear that right? Surely that sounds too easy a loophole that you could blow a wad on a young player, initially assign him to the academy and it not count against FFP? If that's the case I assume they'd instantly count toward FFP as soon as you used them in a senior capacity, rendering it pointless anyway?
