Of the teams below us (5th) and above 16th, we've only beaten Villa at home. And they're a quality 'big' club in a game everyone is up for before it's even started. For me beyond just the problems of depth we have a really issue against good to half decent sides who are not 'big' teams. We'll raise our game for Liverpool, Man City, Villa, Tottenham etc, and we'll beat Wolves, Leicester, Southampton cos they're shit. Anything in between we're poor for at home. Luckily this season we've had good away form though.

I was at the other end and had no idea how it went in. Assumed it was side netting at first and I was about to do a big wheyyyy at the celebrating Fulham fans

Was in the Leazes safe standing today and it was surprisingly good. The whole black I was in, and all the next block stood the whole game. There was also more singing than normal for a game like that - noticeably better than Wolves, West Ham etc

I said this before. Said it for Bournemouth too. It’s not changed all season. Call it now that Everton will take points off us.

Now his top scoring PL season

Same - I love how distinct our stadium is. Agree about on top of the pitch thing too - really don’t like at Arsenal and Spurs how far but low you feel as the rows go back.

I totally get why people would find such an extension underwhelming but I also don’t think 8k extra seats is as insignificant as people are making out.

For context the Emirates, Anfield, London and Tottenham stadiums are all 60 704 - 62 850.

The 2-2 was my first away derby, at 10 years old. Yeah credit to them they made it fierce and electric, remember deafening whistling and boos. I absolutely loved it. Experiencing that meant winning there under Dabizas was probably my top moment to this day. Definitely a good example of how it can be done in a modern ground.

There's some weird Paraguayans in the nice NUFC farewell post who seem to be insulted he's not been playing much and has now left. While he seems to be leaving on good terms all round. Seem to think he's owed a place in the team because he helped us get to CL.

The truth is probably somewhere in-between. Going to Northallerton.

I think maybe his lack of work ethic fed into his talent. There’s an element of carefree-ness to being able to wander through a defence like he did

Got done in the National League Cup by Braintree tonight too

The match has become the main way I see my dad. We don’t (can’t) sit together anymore, but I meet him and his mates in a pub before and/or after. On an evening game we’ll often go for dinner before.

I’ve been abroad where you can order at your seat and there’s people talking to servers and passing pints across you when you’re trying to watch the match. I complain about people leaving at HT early for pints but I prefer that to what they have. Prob my ideal would be sell them pre-match but stop when the game starts. Pints ranking: Scotland (none) England (concourse only) Europe (pints allowed at seat or brought to seat)

I think that’d be worse, there’d be people streaming in and out getting pints all match.

Would like them to scrap pints at the stadium tbh. Maybe fewer people would leave early at HT. Can’t get pints at Scotland home games and don’t think it’s missed at all.

This the same match they were fuming saying Ginola dived?

Yeah I don’t remember the particular match I first heard it, I think I’d have said away at Old Trafford - but I also remember it as it being a response to ManU (and maybe Leeds?) doing the same United chant.

Good on them

WOAT

Vardy is one of the wind-up greats. I hope he enjoyed today.

That’s too much celebrating for making it 1-2, get back man

What’s with the two Brentford players running to celebrate before he’s even kicked it (second pen)

I got mixed up between the live table and the pre match table. 14 points behind us was the live table if they won Christ
