Not bed wetting per se, but that result just made it more likely that LFC will be 3 points behind us before our game on Sunday. I'd rather not have that extra pressure, thanks.

Was thinking more of the dippers tbh. Gives them real incentive to beat Brentford now.

I don't see how that is a good result for us. It keeps Brighton in touch with us and also gives Liverpool extra incentive to keep winning. Man Utd are not finishing outside of the top four either by the way. Their final four games are very winnable.

Same here. If you've been following the club for long enough then the last 18 months simply isn't enough time to wash away the doubt. The cup final defeat simply maintained the doubt for me, to be honest.

If there is one player I'd have liked to see in a B&W shirt it's Wrighty. He'd have been loved up here, and I think it would have been reciprocated. He's always been complimentary about us, from my memory.

The Scouse Mackems are gonna stay up again aren't they? The utter shitness of Forest & Leeds will save them.

Didn't watch it but that is great to hear. To be fair, adversity has always brought the best out of our support.

Feel very sorry for the lad. He has barely put a foot wrong since he got here but, if anything, is trying too hard. As long as he stays mentally strong, and doesn't let this frustrating start to his NUFC career get him down, it will all go well for him eventually ....but it will be next season now for him I think. People writing him off already need to have a word with themselves.

Huge three points that. The 1st half comments in this thread were an absolute shit show.

I have been watching football since 1984 and I don’t think I have ever seen player do that in a game. The lad is simply sensational.

I don't want to hear any excuses about unlucky away kits, TV broadcasting jinxes or intimidation by flares/noise under the floodlights etc. These need to be dispatched tonight & we need to be prepared for anything that they throw at us. If last year's experience hasn't prepared us for what we will face then I don't know what else would.

Jesus. How are they even allowed? Seems as a club they just get away with doing whatever they want.

I doubt Gordon will get much game time, if any. The stakes might be too high for this particular moment in time.

Aye. They are basing it on the wins against Arsenal & Brentford, mainly.

Haven't seen any of that as yet. Plenty of talk of making it a bearpit though.

On Grand Old Team they seem very confident that this will be a repeat of last season and they will turn us over. The usual anti-Geordie/NUFC diatribe going on too. Please, please beat these cunts.

When you look at the complete transformation of this lad, it makes you wonder how many other players have had their careers ruined simply by playing under a terrible manager? I swear that Papiss Cisse is that kind of example. He never recovered from being Pardewed.

Well, in answer to your question...it's an unwritten rule. But you probably knew that anyway.

I'm pretty confident that we win this one after today. A massive question was emphatically answered after the Villa disappointment. That drubbing might just have given the remainder of the season the final push that was required.

Seriously, how long have you been watching football?

So basically, your benchmark is "all football grounds are like this now, so why should ours be any different". Sorry, but that's not good enough. The point you are missing is that fans are supposed to create intensity when games go flat. You are essentially condoning the support for simply reacting to what happens on the pitch, rather than them making a proper effort to have an effect on the events.

As I said right at the beginning of the thread....the issue is not that NUFC now has crap support, it's the fact that the stadium is too top-heavy with spectators/casual fans and the traditional football fans are unable to get back in, and the ones that remain are too interspersed around the ground. These are two issues that need to be urgently addressed by the club.

Exactly. And one of the reasons I started this thread was so that other threads with "good will" wouldn't get diluted with comments that highlight less-than-positive stuff.

No, sorry, the thread was created to debate the match atmosphere. Which is what is happening here. If it's putting you on a downer then maybe stay out of the thread for a bit. I'm over the moon about the result by the way.

Your know you've lost a debate when you resort to insults, yes?
