No

Yes, we are likely to finish M U C H higher. There is actually quite a strong possibility (they have been lucky a few times this season so far) that they will be relegated back to the Third Division at the end of this season, a strong possibility.

They would say exactly the same if we had just won the Champions League ten years in a row. They are very funny to read and listen to though - for me, in my life they have completely replaced Tommy Cooper !!! Far and away the most and deepest laughs I have had since Tommy Cooper sadly passed away. "Juss like that" . . .

I'll say no more . . .

I feel that it is no longer relevant to "look back on our record" for anywhere or anything, prior to last October. We are a new club, a brand new club, with new management and a new team situation. Nothing prior to October last year is of any relevance, so no point in "looking back" at trends prior that date!

"Razor" !

True, but there are other plans for the Arena (and the area around it) site.

Yes, some people still have a L O N G way to go to actually take that in, and understand the 100% change that has already occurred.

And nothing we did, all match, contributed hugely to the very pressurised Brentford defence mistakes then?

Yes, I saw a Video where that was said. It said "expansion to 62,000 was APPROVED". I knew it couldn't mean 'planning approved', in the way that it sounded, so I checked and (like Stifler says above) there is no sign of a Planning Application being submitted, never mind approved. I wonder what else could be meant by the use of the word 'approved', if it isn't planning?

Spot on Whitley !

Yes, as I say, the time is rapidly approaching . . .

Yes, they have always made that very clear, thankfully.

It's been a great year, and this is only the F I R S T of many more to come, and all of them will be better than this year . . all of them. (1) A great year for NUFC. (2) A great year for Saudi Arabia and its people. The absolutely inevitable "drip-drip" of influence on that country from it assimilation into the world via NUFC / UK and many other things and many other countries. There are some that cannot see that, I know, but even they will eventually see what is happening - even if they never quite get around to admitting it!

Do you not yet think, as I do, that the time is very rapidly approaching when we can expect that high quality players - realising what is going on here - will CHOOSE us, over and above these other "more options to choose from" clubs, whoever they may be?

I'm not aware of many businesses in the world that do not need finance to succeed. The more financial clout the greater the success. You know "I love it" (as someone once said) that we now have the opportunity to try, to challenge and to succeed.

In nine days time we will have "been back" for a year!

This 'Nations League' thing is less relevant than a friendly match. This competition (if that's what it is) is a complete waste of everyones time. It will disappear soon, I hope, and the sooner the better.

Definitely N O T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was talking from our countries (and my own) perspective, and my post says it all.

Friendlies are at least "known" to be that . . meaningless practice matches. This effectively pointless, unwanted, tournament is trying to be a tournament, but actually ends up meaningless. I prefer the 'honesty' of friendlies, that I can happily ignore.

What a burst of humour there has been on this thread - it's driving me nuts!

Different motivations !!!

I don't know anyone who is doing that, but I know a lot of people who are showing respect.

Seems about the right level to me.
