Each to their own, but I'm fucking miles away from that. Under Ashley, now that was 'not caring' when the opposition equalised. I'd shrug, maybe even laugh. A few times I even bloody cheered. Cheered my own team conceding, that's what he drove me to. I'll never forgive that. I was livid when Liverpool beat us this season. Properly threw my toys out the pram, and refused to even engage with any football-related content for days. And much though it hurt, you know what? I'll take that hurt any day of the week compared to how I felt under almost all of Ashley's tenure, where I was feeling almost nothing for a team I've followed since I was old enough to kick a ball. I got over the Liverpool game in a few days, and got back to hoping again. Under Ashley, that unbearable feeling of apathy gnawed away at my soul, every day for over a decade.

Why did they raise the prices for the women's team?

What's their excuse for hiding all their racism and misogyny then? I guess the same excuse works, but I'd like to hear it stated for the record.

I love Eddie but we got battered 0-0 tonight. You can point to the result all you like, which was indeed a good result, but we play 10 more games like that and we lose 8 or 9 of them. It's not sustainable, and we need more fret going forwards. We had one shot of note and it was in the 94th minute. They tested out GK repeatedly. That we came away with a point today is lucky, not good work by the players or manager.

I have such polarised opinions on this game. On the one hand, going to the San Siro and getting a point is a brilliant result, and a great start to being back in the CL after 20 years away. On the other hand, not having a shot on target until the 94th minute is fucking criminal, and indicative of a team that just hasn't turned up. Basically if they'd put a couple of their chances away, we'd have had no complaints at all and would now be launching an inquest into why we were so shit. But they didn't, and we got a draw. Weird game.

Don't think we've had a single shot, on or off target. If they'd put any of their shots away, we'd be saying again how we've just not turned up for a big game. We've got to start getting shots off. Possession in the first two thirds counts for little.

I'm torn on this. On the one hand, giving them ammo about us always thinking of them is a bit unfortunate, but on the other hand they are our rivals and this is a prime opportunity to take the piss out of them. I guess ultimately as long as the vast majority of our energy is pro-Newcastle, I don't mind a small percentage going towards laughing at them. Just keep it minor and in the background, much like they are.

This is absolutely surreal. I'm OK now, but I'm going to be like a kid at Christmas tomorrow. As long as we "turn up" and don't shit the bed (Like in the 3 cup finals I've watched), I don't have any expectations regarding winning the match but at the same time I don't think getting a result is beyond us. Bring it on.

Would Man U sell Beckham or Ronaldo? Big sides sell good players. It happens, for many reasons. We may or may not sell Isak, time will tell, but what I do know is that if we sell him it'll be for a massive profit, and that money will be reinvested. I don't want to sell any of our good players, but at some point we will.

Southgate's awful, be devastated if we ended up with him. He's fine for international management where all he has to do is pick 11 and send them out with a basic plan, that would unravel very quickly in the PL where you actually have to coach, develop and train your players.

I mean I get your point but the dementia's probably not helping with that.

Stoke also got Sunderland relegated to the third division for the first (but not last) time in their history, but they mention that somewhat less.

How will he fit in his seat?

I don't it's anywhere near to a £100m release clause if we've just rejected £100m.

Peterborough Almost entirely St James's Park for me, had a season ticket for probably two decades before moving south. However I've also variously been to: - Peterborough, when we took over the whole ground during the 11 in a row under Keegan - Filbert Street, same season, different result though - Loftus road, beaten 3-0 with Ferdinand just imperious for them but it was an amazing atmosphere. Every time they scored we just got louder. - Home Park, Plymouth Argyle, twice in the promotion season. Once for a cup game, once when we won the league - AFC Bournemouth - live here now, been there a few times but not to watch Newcastle as I can never get tickets in the away end and I wouldn't trust myself in with the home fans.

He'd be effective, but that's a straight red, surely?

As a central defender?

Must have a fucking brilliant wifi connection there for all the "scouting" he'll be doing. Anyway, whilst fair play to him if he's had a positive effect, Como were expelled from the league for going bankrupt and had to re-apply as a new club in Serie D. Getting promoted was probably not that miraculous a feat.

He wasn't at a professional club then, either.

Bump in the road, it's not even that. We've underperformed in one game FFS At best, we're one or two points down on what we should expect to have at this stage. We'd all love to have done better in the last 3, but there isn't even a story at this point.

That's exactly what Man U's statement wanted you to think, to placate the screaming masses. But reading between the lines it was obvious they weren't firing him. He's worth too much. He'll be loaned to be sold, or maybe even reintegrated into Man U's team in time. Money >>>> Morals

Working well for them so far!

We're rivals in that we're both going for a CL space.

I don't even want them having any optimism. I'd like them to get zero points in every match from now until the end of time, not even scoring a goal, and freefalling down the leagues until it's pub teams beating them to nil each week. Why would you want them to have hope?

How bad do you guts have to be that you can't continue your daily life without literally shitting yourself?
