  1. 50 years of the Old Firm dominating Scotland is finally coming home to roost. It doesn’t help that Neil Doncaster is determined to have a league system that has half a dozen old firm hams season over having a proper league structure.

    Water is wet. It amazes me that people are thick enough to think that you can submit secret planning applications. The whole point of a planning application is that the public can view and put across their views.
  3. It’s lifting man. Notice they don’t fuck on With Man Utd’s or Arsenal’s or Liverpools shirts? Simple stripes, it’s not fucking hard like.
  4. Fucking hell, didn’t they do that in the Big Bang Theory with the Doppler effect?
  5. 11 points with a negative goal difference was good enough for the play offs last year. 16 points gave you top 8. We just need to take it game by game, Marseille will be difficult but they have struggled in the Champions League this season. If we manage to win there then that gives us a massive opportunity.
  6. It finished 2-2, Pafos also beat Villarreal.
  7. Chelsea losing to Qarabag at half time.
  8. It’s probably come full swing now to where it’s relevant again, but not just limited to games. Arsenal are expanding their stadium on the back of Spurs’ increasing revenue in their new stadium, and will compete with them and Wembley for future events. Man Utd want 100k in theirs with I’m guessing 20k corporate, and I presume they will compete with Man City for events. Match-day income is becoming key again to revenue, it’s one of the reasons why SJP as it is is not working for us.
  9. I mean that’s a wholesome story, except for the part where she imprisons you, but you know. Did you get the job?
  10. Plenty available in store, at the Back Page, and that NUFC store on Leazes Road.
  11. Isn’t that just shite patter from Burnsie’s Facebook account?
  12. It arguably gives us a better chance of qualifying though. If we win tonight then we are only 2 points off what other teams needed last season to make it to the play off rounds. With Marseille, Leverkusen, PSV, and PSG all to play we also have a very good chance of achieving the top 8 which would take us directly into the round of 16.

    Even Sunderland now have the Amazon Fresh style pick up and walk out kiosks. Time for us to up our game. Something like that would hopefully put an end to the long queues of people just lining up across the concourse.
  14. I think that’s a little unfair. It’s pretty much been confirmed that he was a big reason why we linked up with Adidas. The Adidas deal also happened to be the biggest shirt manufacturer deal outside of the top 6 in England, as well as one of Adidas’ biggest with only the European giants earning more. The fee is a minimum of £30m per year, uplifting to a maximum of £40m per year, compared to our previous £5m per year with Castoe that could be increased by hitting sales targets, but unlikely due to how little revenue the club earned from shirt and merchandise sales deals were structured under Ashley. To put it into perspective, Noon now pay us more money to be a sleeve sponsor than Castore paid us. On top of this the Adidas deal also brought us into the elite fold clubs before the likes of Benfica, Celtic, and Ajax were. They even pay us more than they do to Aston Villa, who’s owner owns a significant share in Adidas. The Adidas deal also opened up new merchandise opportunities for us. The training merchandise, Terrace icon, SPZL, and Gazzelle ranges all proving popular, not to mention last years retro release of the 95-97 home shirt, and the upcoming retro release of the 95-96 away shirt and training merchandise. That simply wouldn’t have been possible with any other manufacturer. Nike have done a good job with Spurs and PSG, but the majority of it is just releasing stupid amounts of alternative shirts, and their Air Jordan tie up, which wouldn’t really work with our fanbase.
  15. Aye, tomorrow night is our 4th seed at home fixture.
  16. Absolutely no one wants a new stadium is Gosforth Park, Silverlink, or Newburn Industrial estate.
  17. That’s a sad reflection on him, it shows that he had no idea how to change it and just made changes for the sake of doing so.
  18. I said the same thing. The whole thing about him having total control over transfers is stupid and is just putting us in an impossible position for when he sacks us off for when the likes of Liverpool or Man Utd come along for him.
  19. Could have got Kubo in instead of Elanga. I said that we overpaid for him but everyone raved about him. All he does is run to edge of the box then stop and try and play 1 2’s. We could have kept Miggy, saved ourselves £50m, and still been able to get a goal or 2 each season out of him. Barnes who is good for 20 minutes as an impact sub, and Gordon who’s sacked it off because it takes him too much mental strength to motivate himself or to stop himself from being wound up that he ends up getting sent off for something stupid.
