  1. BBC Final Score - Football League reporter Mark (who)?
  2. I have my season ticket, as for me it makes me "have a voice". Without those who are willing to make a stand inside the ground the notion that everything is okay will be rife, despite the deadly silence from those going to "support" their team. It goes back to the superfan debate I know, but for me why go to the game when you probably get a better view on TV and there's no atmosphere to enjoy anyways, and all you're going to do is sit in silence? I go and I sing for my team, I go and I sing out against Ashley occasionally. I get plaudits and I get abuse from those around me but ultimately I speak up and speak out. Like it or loathe it, I have the bollocks to stand by what I believe in. Ultimately, Ashley does need f***ing off and unfortunately I am contributing to his NUFC existence. However, I am also contributing to his downfall. My season ticket is the only MA owned thing I buy, and I sure as hell try not to give him an easy ride. This is my NUFC and when my non-attendance at a home game is through choice, that's when a little part of me dies. Even the Monchengladbach game I felt as though I'd cheated myself by not going...
  3. It has to be said I quite like Ronaldo. Always seems like a decent guy.
  4. Aye. Too true. We have improved but not by anywhere near as much as the fat cunt promised.
  5. Jesus christ. I'm not too arsed that it's him but that brings it down to 3 out 3 in (IIRC) from the first team and whilst we have replaced with seemingly higher quality our squad depth isn't much better.
  6. 1-2 Newcastle to score first, with an equalising goal just before half time. Come the hour mark we'll push on, do nowt and they'll hit us on the break with a slick passing move and score. A final 30mins of us huffing and puffing with lots of sideways football and no creativity and it'll fizzle out.
  7. Aye, likewise. What an absolutely mint bloke man.
  8. Found out he passed on sat in the test centre before my driving test. Didn't think of anything but him during my test and passed first time. I thank Felling Mag for that, bit would rather he was alive (Sir Bobby) and I failed. God personified. A good player, a great manager, a superhero and a gentleman. <3
  9. Pleasantly surprised with the quality of the site and shirt like. Seem to be clued up. Hope it's a success for them.
  10. It wouldn't surprise me if it was some sorta cheap shite quality shirt on a teenagers style site this magpie one like now everyone is molesting it. Hopefully not like.
  11. Ffs had to have the fucking S***** D***** on the Gallowgate in didn't it. Cunts
  12. Hope not. Haven't got an official top for years. Will be nice to get a jersey without shitty arsed wonga on it. Fingers crossed.
  13. 'bout time you changed your avatar Jew.
  14. Cushty. Only need 2 CB's to have something resembling a team...
  15. Shearer ran to my corner after that goal. I was 5 rows from the front, collapsed between the seats with my mate, 2 years older than me - a 9 year old, and my Dad, and everyone jumping around near our heads going mental. I'll never ever forget that day. My Dad picked me up with about 10 minutes left of extra time and turned me to the North Stand at Old Trafford and said "Son, never forget this for the rest of your days." The whole stand bouncing up and down singing "Toon, Toon...". Fuck me. It was terrifyingly loveable.
  16. He once said Ireland was da bomb.
  17. At the end of the day we fought for the freedom we have this country to allow him to be able to do that. It's irritating but he's entitled to do it. Like I said before, the more people make of it the more his "protest" has worked.
  18. We had no spine last season. Make no doubt about it, we need at least 2 CB's still if we are to become anywhere near a top 10 side. To become a top 10 side and win something we need a good 7 players. Because we have 0 quality in the ranks when it comes to squad depth. With Mitrovic and Wijnaldum and 2 CB's we'd have a decent spine with some flesh around the edges. With any injuries we'll be wounded and f***ed. Given our injury history, so far (this transfer window) I'm not filled with hope. What you have to remember is everyone is spending this year, so we're merely keeping pace. If we keep pace, we're relying on McClaren to pull us up 5 or 6 positions. That isn't unachievable given that for 6 months last year we had Carver. However, we'd need to drastically improve and if only two players come in and one or two more go then I severely doubt we'd make that level of improvement. The point being Ashley wants to win something (and btw the champions league classes as winning something) and he hasn't shown anywhere near that level of investment, yet. Given history I'd be gobsmacked if he did. Have we punched above our weight with our signings? Well, that's subjective - it depends what you class our weight as. I class it as a top 7 side given the size of the club, or at least one challenging for it. If it was Ashley's weight and we were punching above it we'd be champions of the world, wouldn't we...
