  1. You could argue Spurs and Arsenal as well. Spurs wouldn’t be as big as they are if they weren’t located in London. Arsenal moved out of an area that they shared with Charlton, Millwall, Crystal Palace, and to a lesser extent West Ham. They moved into an area that they only shared with Spurs.
  2. I think part of that is my thinking as well. Bournemouth isn’t a footballing hotbed. 2 of their season ticket holders are Harry Redknapp, and Souness, and because they both retired there. They could get into Europe, and win the cup and I feel a few years down the line, absolutely no one would give a fuck about them again. I don’t think they’ll ever be able to significantly increase their fanbase. I just don’t think the South Coast is a footballing hotbed, the same sort of dislike applies to Brighton. Plymouth aside, I have started to hate all the South Coast clubs. With Plymouth, I like them for how they treated us when we got promoted as Champions and they got relegated, and I can understand how their region is overlooked and generally rather poor, and even with these considerations, I don’t think Plymouth can become much bigger than what they are now. It’s very similar to the Rugby clubs who came up and stole a place in the Premier League, Wigan and Reading, I’m looking at you two.

    A couple of mates of mine are fans of theirs. 1 lad who I went to uni with, another who I work with now. Neither of them are anything like the RTG’s. Fair enough the lad who I work with has lost much of his interest in football, and the lad from uni you can’t have a reasonable discussion if we are mentioned, but generally they are decent, and more level headed. Sunderland as a place has it’s social problems, the Brexit vote was a big indicator nationwide of this. I honestly believe that those who have an irrational hatred of us, do so for the same reason why they voted Brexit, and vote for the likes of Reform in large numbers, as well as their protests/riots. Hating us is an outlet. It’s hard to believe that 10-15 years ago we were both coming together for the lads who died in the plane crash, and the young kid who had cancer.
  4. Honestly think Man City will engage Man City end of season mode now. Do that 15 game winning run that they so often do. Enough to get a Champions League place, and to win the FA Cup.
  5. If they don’t get European football, he’ll go. But I agree, Spurs under him would be another challenger that we don’t want.
  6. Nah, even before he came in I disliked them. I think it started a year or 2 before they went down.

    It would be if you get a lower league team and they can get 70k people in. That’s £280k that they would get.
  8. I’ve got to say, I have a dislike of Bournemouth that I shouldn’t. Small club came up and did things the right way. Plucky underdogs. Howe, and others connections. I just can’t seem to stand them to be honest. Everyone seems to be wishing them well, and liking them shake things up. I just want them to fuck off back down the leagues to be honest, and I can’t even tell you why.
  9. This, on top of how I would still be envious of anyone else winning it, despite winning the League Cup. With Man City, you just shrug your shoulders and get on with it.

    In my opinion, cup games shouldn’t be factored into income ahead of the season. If we get home draws, we should price it as low as possible. Get the kids and families in. £10 a ticket, they’ll end up spending money for food and drink, and in the club shop.

    There will be a permanent version with a couple of hotel built into in my opinion.

    I’m honestly not arsed. As someone else has said, on derby day anything can happen, so even though we should beat them, it’s not a guarantee, especially if our fixture against them falls after a big European night. In the grand scheme of things we are doing separate things though. Next season our aims should be a top 4 finish, and to see how far into a title race we can get ourselves, as well as a decent go at the cups. Their season will all be about trying to stay up, and the 2 games against us.

    It was shown to the NUFC delegation at the meeting earlier in the month. Nothing in that article is news, it’s all just a repeat of what Luke Edwards has said, but re-published under a different journalist ahead of the celebration event to gain more clicks.
  14. The bus will arrive at the Town Moor at 5pm. The bus parade is only going to take half an hour.
  15. Apparently someone who ordered the Cup winners shirt received a signed shirt instead. https://www.reddit.com/r/NUFC/s/4X8gLYshcD
  16. Also taking the piss out of his dog, saying she’s dead because she knew too much. If I was the judge from that case, I’d be bringing him back in for it.

    Most will end up being apartments. Then we’ll probably have terraced town houses filling elsewhere.
  18. Nah, keep him at 14, our best forward doesn’t need to be wearing the 9 shirt.
  19. Why was Wembley playing it over the tannoy in anyway? Do others clubs get that treatment? Did we get to run out to Local Hero with O Fortuna playing as they lined up in the tunnel?

    Not a chance his fee would rise to £37m in anyway. That lad they sold to Ipswich had a bigger impact than Rigg has, and he went for like £10m. No Championship club is getting anywhere near those figures for one of their players.
