On the list of many reasons not to want them promoted, the return of their lifting patter is right up there near the top. You forget just how peaceful its been for the last 8 years. On Skunkers there used to be a post that said "Mackems always shout too soon". All these years later and nothing has changed. I get that they are giddy about being back in the big time and having some relevance once more, nothing wrong with having hope, but as usual they just can't help immediately gazing 12 miles up the road and starting up their wild comparisons to NUFC.

Yeah it’s their rave club from the early 90s. Went there regularly and it was a genuinely brilliant place. If you were into that scene of course. I wasn’t necking anything but others definitely were. The place was packed, no phones and very fucking loud. Genuinely felt like 1992 all over again lol.

I was through there last weekend for a Blue Monkey reunion night (which was absolutely tremendous, to be fair) at the club Elysium in the city centre. Got the Metro through and I was shocked at the state of the area from the walk to the club from the Metro station. Last time I had a night out there was about 15 years ago and the place has gone even further downhill by the looks of things. Seems like their Stack at Seaburn is the place for a night out now as the centre of town is an absolute hole.

Has everyone forgotten that these fuckers are experts in PL drain circling? Won't be in the least bit surprised if they surprise everyone, or the league has a one-off bizarre event where one or two of the regular midtable teams has a disaster season. Never rule out how spawny these cunts can be.

Fuckin hell. Fair play to Alex Crook on Talksport. Yesterday he said there would be a big news boardroom departure at NUFC and this is obviously what he meant.

I'm absolutely raging at that performance mind, it was absolutely shambolic. But shows very clearly to the heirarchy that big investment is needed this summer, so maybe a valuable lesson for the club.

I knew they would do it and I knew Sheff Utd would bottle it, the useless fucks. It's annoying that they are back but I'm over it already and quite looking forward to the derbies again. I don't think it's clear cut that they will go straight back down either. Either way though, in the long run this is the start of them getting a proper long term foothold in the PL, even if it takes the Marrachute payments and a yo-yo or two to do it.

Exactly what I needed to hear.

Where's this from? I really hope its designed to be an atmosphere-generating stadium and has expansion potential.

We absolutely have to win because there is no way Villa aren’t winning too. Before tonight I thought Man U would get at least a point but no chance that is happening now.

The crowd have to be up for this one, similar to Chelsea last week but even more so for this. None of this "we were nervous" bollocks. 90 minutes of relentless backing.

That's all fine, but green cannot be a part of our badge. Its far too intrusive.

That would be a terrible decision. It's all very well having green away kits but green in the badge is an absolute no-no.

Aye these cunts are coming up. Shame, I was hoping for another 5 years of them slumming it.

Absolutely pathetic that. You'd think we were midtable with nothing to play for.
