Big River

can’t wait for the team photo.

the turnaround in mentality is just incredible. the same sackless bunch of losers are now WINNERS. unreal.

we’ll carry this momentum into next season and be fighting for Europe. no doubt in my mind.

areet then, we’ll beat these as well.

in Howe we trust. howay the lads!

Crazy to see people bending over backwards to find something that isn’t there

crazy to see the same people making the same point about him, over and over and over and over and over and over again.

we all get it, he's not very good. it's not some revolutionary opinion that we need to hear every day.

this guy fucks.

He’s actually been class when I’ve seen him recently. I thought he was just a meme based on his horrific goal scoring but I’d be delighted with him 

think he'd be great in our team. grafter, blistering pace and never stops making clever runs.

even just him and Phillips and we'd be top 8, comfortably.

Yeah, the thing I want more than anything else is a pacy bastard who can finish and terrify defences. Don’t care how much it costs

Aye, I agree with this. 

reckon you could put a word in??

safe standing would improve things dramatically. if only to shift the more passive fans elsewhere.

speaking of atmosphere, and the mackems saying it's manufactured... when it comes to the flags they're dead wrong (shock) - but I do feel a bit like that when it comes to the PA and music. I wish he'd learn to read the crowd, and keep the music off after a big win, to let the fans celebrate organically. last night was a perfect opportunity to sing a few Howe songs for example, and show our appreciation. instead we got Primal Scream and Hey Jude again.

meh, might sound nitpicky, and of course it's minor in the grand scheme of things, I just want things to be even minter!

Middle tier of the Gallowgate is a problem. We were in the Upper Tier last night and it's very noticeable from there. You have the corner which comes across excellent then you have the lower and upper tiers getting up off their seats singing but the majority of the middle (which probably has  95% season ticket occupancy) just sit there and don't get involved.

 

Another bugbear of mine is the "United" chant. Why shout "Toon" in between? It was always 3 claps in between which sounds much better, see below....

the benefit to not having a season ticket but still attending every game (since the takeover, of course) has meant I've managed to experience the Gallowgate upper, mid, lower, and both corners. It'd be nice to have options, but unfortunately nothing comes close to The Corner™ in terms of what I want from going to the match.

gonna slit my wrists when the only season tickets available are in the Milburn or Leazes 

he's going to fail big time, and I can't fucking wait.

As mint as the flags are the atmosphere in general is still flat quite alot of the time imo. Decent before a game and after but still lacking throughout...imo

depends when you sit. the corner is always decent, everywhere else is pretty much a library. the whole Gallowgate needs to be safe standing, shift any day trippers and old farts somewhere else.

might sound harsh, but the amount of kids on ipads and old women with shopping bags is ridiculous. total waste of a ticket. should have to pass a test to qualify getting in. name at least 5 of the current squad or something. reckon we'd be down to 30k straight off the bat

we’ll beat these as well

 could watch these cunts getting battered all day long.

Toney would do, but I'd much prefer Tammy, not sure if that's realistic though.

on match of the day now 

I'm trying to think of one elite level CM blessed with pace...

so proud to have this lot associated with our club. selfless living legends who work their bollocks off to make the matchday experience infinitely better for everyone.

would love to buy each and every one of them a pint.

well done gaffa, you've earned this.

We'll beat these chumps as well.

we're going to spend at least 100m, naive to think otherwise.

Selling ASM to fund the purchase of a good striker, then selling Bruno to fund the purchase of a good wide forward to replace ASM wouldn't be bad business this summer IMVHO. 

yee on smack?

fuck sake they’re going to use the Wood money to go get Pep. I can’t believe we’ve done this.

I'm pretty relaxed on who we sign right now. I'd ideally like any striker we sign to be pacey to stretch defences, but other than that as long as we definitely strengthen the team in confident Eddie will make whatever we do work. 

same to be honest. fairly obvious we won't be in any danger of relegation, so it should be an enjoyable transfer window and season!

all things considered, we had an extremely good January window. and it's never going to be that difficult again. excited to see what we do.

big fan of that result. Everton are toast.
