Exactly...a bear pit. This isnt that. Especially since we are actually dominatiing a match for a change.

I never said there wasnt. Roaring the team on is great but football atmospheres are about songs being sung. We have got pretty much none these days.

Already said. Actual songs getting sung. We have about three songs in our range. Its pretty embarrassing tbh. We dont even sing our own anthem anymore. When was the last time you heard the Blaydon Races get an airing ay SJP?

Anyone who thinks this is a good atmosphere hasnt seen SJP at its best. Its decent but nowt spectacular.

I dont even think we have that many.

I cant remember the last time I heard the Blaydon Races at SJP. Or even just the "Newcastle, Newcastle" one.

Atmosphere is pretty poor IMO. Our songbook is really piss poor these days. Why do none of the old songs get sung anymore?

Nobody went in two footed at all. The problem with them is that they can dish it out but simply cannot take it back. His comment about the two sets of fans being the same was actually astonishing, considering RTG’s entire ethos is built around the fallacy that their fans are different to ours. As soon as you pull them up for their utter bullshit they instantly flounce off.

And yet this is the narrative that is constantly peddled on RTG. Not like a Mackem to have any self awareness though is it?

You’d think Donald and Methven will now finally sell up their shares to Dreyfus once they are up, so let’s see if he starts to put in some big money into them.

I actually think it wont take them that long to get promoted from the Championship. They are big enough in that league to attract decent names in terms of manager and players. Thats why its been so funny seeing them in the League 1 wilderness where nobody of note would touch them.

Wednesday deserve this loss. Absolute dross they are.

I’ve been trying all night. Worked on the 5th attempt.

Deliberate reverse psychology.

On the RTG match thread they are bricking it. They need not worry though as Wednesday could play for another 12 hours and they still won’t score.

Wednesday are utter shite.

They will go through tonight I reckon. Then its the battle of the two shithousers in the final. 90 minutes of the footballing dark arts. Not exactly the beautiful game.

A pretty pitiful way to end the game but the result is meaningless. If we had a quality striker then it could have been a different game. We will get at least 4 points from our final two games if Wilson starts.

Klopp is the best manager in the world and if he was our manager he would be worshipped here. Of all the things to dislike about LFC, Klopp isn’t even on the list.

Man City are the very definition of a proper football club. Their pre-oil money honours list is impressive - 9 trophies, including two titles and one European -and they have always been one of the best supported clubs in the country. They have also seen their team plumb the depths and still stuck with them in huge numbers, and also had to watch their neighbours in the same city mock them for decades while they won everything in sight. They are ten times more “proper’ than Liverpool FC, a club whose support is the most spoilt in the country. None of their fan base under the age of 60 has been remotely tested.

Explain how Man City are not a “proper football club’.

Neil has taught them how to shithouse their way to wins. That's all you need to get out of that league.

Have to hope that MK Dons turn around their 0-2 defecit otherwise the Mackems are going up. Sheff Wed are utter garbage and wont be going to the final.

Yep, speaking as someone who grew up there, the idea that there is, or was, anything like a 10% Mackem supporter base in Gateshead is pure fantasy. In the 80s they might have had something like 5% but that is being generous. The Keegan era all but wiped out SAFC's Gateshead support though. Which explains why they are so anxious about what may happen going forward. On another note, it was pretty disappointing to see MK Dons lose last night. A win tonight for the oiks and I'd say promotion is looking likely. No way will Wycombe win the final, whoever they come up against.

Wins at Watford and home to Palace, and a draw with Brentford.
