Champions League 2023/2024: Group F (Newcastle, Milan, Dortmund, PSG)
Wandy replied to Marko NUFC's topic in Football
All to play for still. Bring it on. A draw at PSG and beat Milan and we have a great chance. -
Probably watched the match through their phone camera as well.
-
We have morphed into a generic fanbase. Sing when you’re winning and mute when you’re not. Add in that we’ve got one of the most limited and plagiarised songbook and you have a pretty grim conclusion.
-
True, but it’s the only way of communicating directly with the club right now.
-
I really think as many people as possible have to go to this NUST AGM coming up soon, with the club’s fan liaison person there. They need to be under no illusions about how pissed off people are with the ticketing situation.
-
And our owners, by default. And therefore at us too for welcoming them. Fuck em.
-
I know what you mean by that. The people in our away end were not animated in the slightest. Clear as day that the away end was full of people who have probably barely been to an away game in their life. Pretty fucking infuriating tbh.
-
It’s got to be sorted out, no two ways about it.
-
Yeah I thought their support was mundane at best. Even the noise they made had an emptiness to it, totally out of sync with the rhythm of the game. They can suck my balls with their moralising demonstration over money too. They’ve been challenging in the top two of their domestic league whilst also playing CL football consecutively for years. If their club had been ran like ours has for decades then they’d likely be receptive to oil money too, the patronising cunts.
-
All this talk of hoping to finish 4th, if we can’t get out of this group, needs to be put to bed. You never, ever turn down the chance to keep playing in Europe if given the opportunity. Bollocks to the risk of injury & fatigue, the experience will be invaluable.
-
That’s the most likely explanation. If I hadn’t gotten glimpses of our away end when the ball went near them, I would have thought there was no away fans there based on the sound. Were the mics turned down or something? Mind, I thought that their much-vaunted crowd weren’t that impressive either.
-
You missed my post on the previous page then.
-
I shall never doubt you again, Eddie. x
-
Yeah, do I feel stupid right now.
-
And I’m one of those who have watched far worse and still got behind the team wildly. Think Derby away in 1992. I’d still be shouting myself hoarse tonight too, despite being unhappy with the team selected. But it would be singing in defiance, not expectation. That team is simply too much of a gamble for me.
-
Given up, nah. The odds are very much against a win for us though with that starting line up. Hoping that it’s still level with 20 mins to go doesn’t float my boat I’m afraid.
-
I’d be pretty pissed off if I was one of the 7k who have gone down there and saw that starting line up. The game could be over by half time.
-
Yeah, I think if we do stay on the current site, and Leazes Terrace can't be moved, then we will end up with a design that looks like the Aviva. As long as the roof actually protects from the elements, goes all the way to the edge of the pitch perimeter, and is also designed to keep sound within the stadium it could look really special.
-
If we'd stuck with the same eleven in the 2nd half we'd have lost that game. I just think that it's essential that we put out a strong midfield for this one.
-
It's also worth noting that we beat City because the likes of Bruno were brought on after they played us off the park in the 1st half.
-
We can afford to make changes to the back four, no argument about that. But also resting the likes of Bruno & Longstaff? Might as well just give Man U a quick call and tell them they can just go straight through, without us making the trip down there.
-
For all those saying drop all of our key players, did you even want us to enter this competition? Seems like people have thrown in the towel already for this game, so dropping big players gives a ready made excuse for the defeat.
-
You don’t rest a player just because you are worried about him getting injured man. Should we rest him against Arsenal too then? The point is that Wednesday is a huge game and we need to win, therefore we need a strong team out there.
