He was already sold to Birmingham before Benitez arrived.

Either it would result in carnage or it would result in the game being sanitised and all the tribalism removed. Whichever one is a fucking terrible result. Mixed support is rubbish and creates the bizarre atmospheres you see in rugby matches or in the NBA. Tribalism adds to the tension and gives the sport gravitas and drama that it wouldn't normally have. It's a brilliant thing and the reason the game is so marketable around the world.

No excuse.

You'd support fans being unsegregated? So no away end? Would be a great way to kill off one of the things that makes football by far the most interesting sport.

Definitely him the little shithoose

https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/jack-colback-millwall-2004.1410875/ Guess that puts an end to the shit about him being an NUFC fan as a kid.

I don't dislike Ritchie (although his form is frustrating me atm), and I wouldn't sell him in January, but I just don't really think he has the pace for the top flight long term. He's a winger who can't dribble with the ball and doesn't stretch teams with his pace off it, that's a major problem in this league in this day and age IMO. Even if he had the best crossing and shooting technique in the world (he doesn't, although he's not bad) it would still be a problem. There's a long line of one-paced midfield and wide players who have starred in the Championship over the years, racking up big numbers of goals and assists. I've said on here before that above average technical ability goes a long way in that league. Peter Wittingham having a 20 goal season springs to mind as a notable example.

Killer instinct from Alonso.

Clarke is doing my head in like.

Atsu was playing second striker really, he was all over the place. It's clear just how importance pace, movement and dribbling ability are for forwards at this level when you compare Atsu and Ritchie's seasons (this and last). I can't believe how off the pace Ritchie looks. Thought he had enough workrate in his game to compensate but he's driving me crazy atm.

just hammering f5 here now

Reckon we've at least got a draw yet?

Why are we always like this

YES

Done with this shite man

Ritchie is muck man. FFS.

My word

Always on the stretch. That's it. He's always a yard too slow in body and mind.

I'm really beginning to hate Ritchie at this level. Always seems to be chasing games.

Is he shite?

Tino? Beardsley? Hamann?

What's even the point in footbahl.

Was ruined a bit by the surrender against Everton the week later

Even if they ever did get the opportunity to permanently convert it from an athletics stadium to a football one, I believe the roof makes it extremely difficult to do so. Any seats moved forward will always be uncovered.
