Could just make the Arsenal players wear Sean Longstaff masks and it’d be a vile as fuck atmosphere for them from the second they walk out the tunnel Every touch of the ball would be greeted with screams of negativity and violent outbursts of anger

If you’re going into a cup semi final 2nd leg saying “the players need to get the fans going” or anything of that nature then you shouldn’t be going to the fucking match. Watch it at home on the telly instead and you can bitch & moan for the entire game at the top of your voice if that’s what makes your willy tingle. You’ll be happy as a pig in shite and your miserable fucking dial will have no impact on other fans or what the payers feel on the pitch. Do the right thing and let someone who wants to get behind the side have the ticket. Everyone’s a winner.

If they gave me the CEO job I'd immediately introduce massive swathes of safe standing and designate those areas to be singing sections It's relatively low cost, would have a massive positive impact on atmosphere and would be a PR win with most (but admittedly not all) fans I'd say to ST holders who don't want to stand that they can have their pick of where to move in the stadium (not the posh seats obvz) and allow groups of sitters to move together if they want If they complained about it I'd chain them up outside the changing rooms at Dorothy Perkins between 2.30-5pm on a Saturday so they could have a long hard think about their life choices and why moving seats is better than having their ST's revoked by yours truly

I'm not looking to argue, just to understand your view. Why's it a "proper football ground" ? What I see is a hodge podge of a few different eras and none of it sits well together. The newest bits are 25 years old and the entire place was left to rot under Ashley The location is iconic, but the buildings in their current form I've never been that arsed about. It's just not a very good stadium design for many reasons. However I did have a lot of love for the mid 90's SJP in terms of how it looked and what that era meant to me.

Millions of billions

I was so utterly convinced by Tyneside Life on Youtube saying he'd spoken to the council and they were moving Leazers Terrace onto the tennis courts that I simply ignored any other stadium speculation from any other sources as it was clearly fake news

I'd prefer they built on a virgin site in Leazers Park / Castle Leazers, kept the current stadium fully operational during construction and then got Thompsons of Prudhoe in with bulldozers and a wrecking ball the day after the new stadium opens Fuck playing at a construction site with reduced capacity and only 3 stands open etc etc etc And fuck playing at Murrayfield, which would be a steaming pile of dogshit in terms of logistics Anyhow, the article is by Mr. L Edwards. We ridicule his transfer bantz, but seem to take his stadium news as gospel. So it could all just be utter bollocks for clicks, as usual

Never knew there was such a thing as an umlaut nonce You leärn summät new every däy

Maybe no players we wanted to loan were available for loan, that would be a reason

More likely it’d slam into Wembley stadium when we’re winning the league cup final 2-0 and there’s only 10 seconds left on the ref’s watch

RIP Big Keith

One scenario that could play out is that the asteroid that’s heading close to Earth might actually hit us and blow the entire planet to smithereens

The Notts County takeover was a massive fraud by a big fat conman in ridiculous trousers

I never said it was Teletext like

Catts for me like

It’s potent mix of large sections of the crowd being scared shitless whilst also satisfying their insatiable burning desire to criticise our own players at every opportunity

My pal is a Forest fan who lives up here and sometimes goes to our games as his family have ST’s He’s said that when watching as a neutral in the ground the way the crowd panic and are quick to default to a negative mindset is really noticeable He’ll be watching a close game and thinking we’re only a goal or two up, but are in control on the pitch and he’s confident we’ll see out a win But we’re so conditioned to expect the worst that the fans will be jittery and then that feeds through to the players

Was just showing Spurs to demonstrate how easy it is to be transparent, I live in hope that someday we also have a similar level of visibility But alas, we have a Ticketing Team who appear to huff on a large bag of Bostik then make decisions about how tickets are divvied out

We’re taking hypothetically about cup finals we might play in and season ticket waiting lists we might create I don’t think anyone has jinxed it and said we’ll be at Wembley in March

As a reference point, Spurs clearly communicate that the extra lowey for their top tier membership gets you on an ST waiting list and priority tickets Transparency. I love it.

Not sure, based on what’s been communicated (basically nowt) it doesn’t make any sense to cut off one but not the other Maybe not enough people were buying Mags+ so to increase take up they put a deadline on it and allow rumours to circulate about Mags+ getting you secret cheat codes for ST’s and cup final tickets Hey presto, loads of people sign up

If that was the case they should be transparent that the extra tenner gets you on a ST waiting list, if we ever create such a thing You can’t set up a tiered membership scheme and not disclose that the upper tier has an enormous but hidden benefit that would massively influence people’s decision on what tier to buy It’d be the shannest thing ever in the history of all the shan things there’s ever been ever

We need the crowd to deliver full throated raucous backing, overflowing with optimism, eardrum bursting decibel levels and an absolute confidence in our ability to win the tie from the moment the ref toots his whistle But if Arsenal get an early goal there’ll be a collective shitting of y-fronts in the stands and that’ll feed through to the players and we’ll fuck it up and lose the tie For once we need to break free of the shackles of our many, many, many past failures and believe in total victory, with players and fans in perfect symbiosis
