I can remember him and his Roeder shuffle in his playing days alongside KK, Beardsley and Waddle. What days and what team! He always quietly got on with his job. A key yet fairly unheralded player and genuinely nice bloke.

That's awful. Great servant to the club as player and manager. Seemed to love the club and gave his all. RIP Glenn.

Pearce commented during the Palace/Fulham game that there's been a lot of talk about how it's time for Palace to go on to the next level. Then he followed that by saying 'That's what Charlton fans were thinking and look what happened to them'. Aye lads, us, Palace and one or two others will just go on making the numbers up eternally.

Excellent day. Had the hairs standing up on the back of my neck listening to the fans in that vid.

The Leazes wing of the Milburn Stand was the place to be back then. Full of absolute nutcases but they narve made a hell of a racket! It was great in there back then. IIRC in KKs playing days the away fans would be in the end section of the Leazes, on the other side of the vehicle access bit? Sure i can remember a particularly lively atmosphere v Leeds one day. Think we won 2-1. I later got my 1st S/T in the Milburn centre paddock when Ossie was in charge, Around 1991. Not sure if there still was an East and centre paddock by then or it had been made into one big paddock?

Happy birthday king Kev, you absolute superstar. A superstar that chose to join MY/OUR club in one, no two of it's darkest periods and save it. Undoubtedly one of , if not THE most influential men ever associated with NUFC. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

Great that Paully. Cheers. If only someone out there could see the clubs potential in the same way KK did and still does. He's right though. It simply can't go on forever like this.

Remember it well. Got off the bus at SJP with not long to spare before KO and horror of horrors I'd forgotten my ST. Wife had to hurriedly jump on the bus from Slatyford to bring it down. Bus driver kindly missed out Cowgate stop and appreciated the gravity of my situation ☺. Some poor old woman probably waited ages for her trip to the Grainger market for her Sunday joint or something. Meanwhile I missed KO but was lucky to see the return of the great man KK.

Fucking Keith Curle what a twat, we we’re in the main stand at Maine Road that day. Got a bit tasty in there aswell mags dotted everywhere. Fucking Keith Curle what a twat, we we’re in the main stand at Maine Road that day. Got a bit tasty in there aswell mags dotted everywhere. Aye, i was in there too. Was ok during the game but had a bit of an altercation at FT. Some game though.

I remember not one but two amazing Robert goals at home to Spurs, around 2003 maybe?

? What a day. Red hot. A perfect day. Couldn't script it better with him grabbing the winner. I watched while hanging on to the Gallowgate (scoreboard end) advertising hoardings at the back, hence my user name as it happens. Terraces were packed and the atmosphere electric. The club was resurrected, briefly anyway, that summer. God knows we need a similar lift nowadays.

Spot on. Some of our fans love bashing our club. Sorry going to have to reply with another Analogy. NUFC is like a listed building that could be magnificent but has been derelict for a number of years. The building is shitty in its current state but could be magnificent again if only someone would buy it and do it up! So I stand by my assertion. NUFC in its current state is a shitty club! Good analogy with the listed building. Listed buildings can't be destroyed though. If only the same could be said for NUFC.

These teams are using the travel abroad for 'work' exemption to the extreme. They're taking the piss and exploiting it.

Well it's a bit of a mess isn't it? Those results were awarded then retracted subject to appeal.

And if what's happened so far this season is anything to go by no action will be taken, while the St Mirrens and Kilmarnocks of the league get 3-0 results given against them when they've not been able to fulfil fixtures.

Don't be daft. All seems double standards to me. Just can't make sense of so many people being allowed in there today, but won't be allowed anywhere near there come next week. Either going to allow people in, or not. Any real need for Jason McAteer and the bird interviewing him to be there? or the hoards of journalists and police? Carragher is allowed in, but a lifetime season ticket holder, and the rest of the plebs not. Obviously Covid can tell if your special and work for the BBC. Tbf didn't Carragher sponsor the game today? There did seem a few too many there though.

Lass just explained how to access the other games during HT break. Ignore me. Cheers anyway.

Are they via the red button Disco? Or stand alone channels? When I press the red button it literally says BT Sport Extra across my screen.

Great story with Marine. Seen them lose a league game at Dunston earlier in the season and now they're playing Spurs competitively. Watching a bit of Chorley v Derby (kids) now but can't seem to access any of the other ties on BT Sport. Nufc.com had a load listed as being on there. Tried the red button but the BT Sport extra logo just stays across the screen.

Haven't bothered to scroll through umpteen pages so sorry if this is a Giggs but seeing Leicesters' new training complex on Football Focus yesterday says it all about the gulf between us and them. Fantastic new facility that has everything while we've got plastic bins for ice baths. Brendan Rodgers was saying how they may not be able to afford 60-80 million pound 'elite' players but having the ability to attract and keep local talent is massive. They might have won the league the other year but they're half the size of NUFC IMO, but they're progressive and ambitious.

I listen to Bruce's pre-match interviews and think of how they are the complete opposite of KKs. Keegan was like 'We're a match for any of these top sides. Bring them on and they should worry about us'. Bruce talks up whatever opposition lie in wait with stuff like 'We know Blyth Spartans are a good side with a great cup history and you're always in for a battle when you visit such places'. Can make the most ordinary opposition sound like Real Madrid and tell us not to expect anything before a ball is kicked.

Watched 'We are the Geordies. Fantastic watch but as predicted made me sad and angry at the difference in how keen I was then compared to now. Also highlighted how this club is going to waste. We had hope and a platform to progress at the end of that championship winning season and the one after that, but Ashley's let it all evaporate. Criminal tbh. Can only cling to hope he'll be gone one day and someone with the right intention is at the helm.

McManaman defending him last night, saying you have to stay in the league for financial reasons. Why do you need money? To do the same next season and every season after that, simply survive? The league table says we've got 18 pts but we're the most pointless club in the country.

Worked wonders with Dundee United. Managed to win the league. Almost impossible for anyone but the old firm to win it these days...unfortunately. He gave them some great nights in Europe too. I seen his side lose the Scottish cup final to St Mirren in 87 and they were in the UEFA cup final days later. They'd beaten Barcelona along the way I'm sure. RIP.

I can't believe how apathetic I am nowadays. Just 18 or so months ago when Rafa was still in charge, on that sunny day, watching a 4-0 win at Fulham I wouldn't have ever predicted I could be so detached from what's been one of the loves of my life. I used to pass a b & m store on the walk home from the bus stop after the home games and while often feeling gutted at a loss, I'd wish I was like those customers coming out not giving a shit about the score that day or NUFC. Now I feel that way, I so miss caring and NUFC dominating my life and moods. I think I'm gonna watch the 'We are the Geordies' thing over Xmas. Looks a good watch, but I know it's gonna sadden me and make me think of the then and now.
