Lush this. Long may it continue. Would love to be battering teams in the WSL.

Cheers for the tag mate, will give this a watch shortly

Cheers everyone and particularly the above. We've been talking about doing this for a while tbh for the likes of Burn and Longstaff. I like to try and be diplomatic about people's views but personally sitting in the stadium slating lads who are giving it their all is beyond ludicrous for me. You get more flies with sugar than shit. You aren't gonna improve someone's performance who is giving 100% and their confidence is shattered by groaning, whining and calling for their substitution. It's fucking mental. We've pulled displays because of suspensions etc. That have been celebrating players whom are somewhat more celebrated (generally) because it didn't make sense anymore and we've also noticed players who have been scapegoated. The clue is in the title for me - "supporters". You help people through the tough spells and give them support. They in turn will get through the tough times and you'll all come out of it the other side feeling better for it. Any improvement required on any of these players, is with the club and the powers that be to replace them one way or the other. Not the players themselves. Therefore as supporters it's upto us to ensure mentally there in a place of comfort to perform.

We've received very positive feedback from Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff and Eddie Howe either via Twitter or other sources and it really seems like this display has had the desired effect, especially given the score. Love to see it, an almost perfect day.

Nee pleasing some folk like. Decide they don't like a player and cannot give credit where it's due. Give owa.

Cheers!

Oh well.

Separately... Saturday may well be one of my favourite ever displays, not for creativity but for content.

Seen someone whinging on Twitter cause I was chanting "New-ca-stle" for the three claps. However, to my knowledge, growing up it was only ever 3 claps, then United. At least New-ca-stle makes sense though with 3 syllables for the 3 claps and it's our actual name. The other thing was vs Everton just United and United being shouted which was quite good to drive the loudness upward.

Boosts global profile doesn't it, has folk buying merchandise and potentially spending big bucks as 'package' deals to come watch us, etc. (Potentially). All just speculate to accumulate I'd guess.

MotM for us on Saturday coming.

Ah God. I have an inner rage and sickness now.

I actually don't mint Leeds. Proper club. Got a respect for them and think they have for us, despite wanting to be top dogs in the North etc.

8? O'Nien?

Love players like Bruno me, Rondon was another, just love life and love playing football, all round good eggs. A pleasure to watch them.

On account of Dummett not being on to make that stupid mistake then aye. He's probably right

Half assed is what this post is if you're equating Longstaffs effort to that.

We need our £60m signing available whose name we keep singing despite him being fucking unavailable all season. Tonali > Longstaff. Well not for NUFC he hasn't been, quite the opposite. Not yet. (Not a dig at you BTW mate.)

This is where I'm at too. I feel folk rewrite the game as well based on the result. Everton did fuck all by and large, one chance where they hit the post and that was it. We hit the bar, had the ball in the net twice, one off the line and generally had them on the back foot most the game. They created virtually nowt. Dummett massively cost us with his stupidity. Just a personal gripe but I feel expectations have risen too quickly and feel folk are desperate to find scapegoats at present. Effort is no longer enough. People turn up to be entertained and are fans not supporters. Supporters support when the going gets tough. We fold like a pack of cards on 60mins every game and it reflects on the pitch, or vice versa. I'll put my tin hat on as everyone will no doubt say "we need quality to go to the next level", yada yada yada. We fucking cannot because of FFP. You get more flies with sugar than shit so we should be backing every one of these boys to the hilt. They've given us all these moments, from cup finals to derby wins to possibly one of the biggest victories in our entire history, but groan at Burn for not clearing the ball on the first bounce when he was nigh on immaculate, sigh every time Longstaff misplaced a difficult pass. Wey give owa man. What was that phrase "we don't demand a team that wins..."

Atmosphere always changes at 60mins and nerves set in. Have to use the Corner etc to push through the negativity, if that doesn't happen we're on the back foot.

For 5th choice LB it'd be wise to allow that to be a kid imo. So in short, yes.

I'm not even disputing that. What I am saying is folk shouldn't equate his career to the equivalent of that one performance tonight.
