  1. Back in the day, you trained with the reserves the next day for shit like that.
  2. No idea who thought it was a good idea to play him on the right, then realise it’s not a good idea, and swap him with Gordon, which is the same bad idea.
  3. If we get it back to 1-1, West Ham will shit themselves.
  4. Fuck off man, they wasted 2 minutes of that stoppage time.
  5. It’s been frustrating, because that aside, we would be pleased but frustrated.
  6. Keeper should surely have been booked by now.
  7. That was rather fucking quick that VAR check.

    I’ve always argued that if we did have every Premier League match on TV, then it might be wise to do it by moving away from the 3pm’s. I’m not massively convinced that lower league, and non-league teams would take a hit. What was their attendance the weekend before the one just gone, compared to the weekend just gone, or the weekend before? Over the international break, women’s football filled the gap. 11k to see NUFC women’s. All the WSL, and Championship teams played at their clubs mains grounds. I’ve also argued that clubs should probably be doing non-league days. Imagine if SJP did a magic weekend style non-league weekend. You see 2 matches per day, could have North Shields vs whoever, West Allotment Celtic vs whoever on day 1, day 2 is Newcastle Benfield vs whoever, Morpeth vs whoever. £3 for kids, £5 for adults per day. Every year the teams change so everyone gets a chance to play at SJP and have a payday. On top of this, if the Premier League are earning such an increase in TV money, who’s to say you can’t just give grassroots football another £100m per season? That roughly translates to about £20k per team.
  9. I’ve still went ahead and emailed 2 members of the House of Lords expressing my concerns and to ask them to consider rejecting the proposals.
  10. Back in 2015/2016 I had a flat mate at uni who was from Norwich. She insisted that before he was famous, she used to go and see him play at Norwich University, and that he was a Norwich City fan. I was shocked when I saw him turning up to Ipswich games, sponsoring them, and then buying a percentage of them.
  11. Probably, but if no one is around to see you, you’re hitting Bambi instead.
  12. Motson was shit, utter fucking shit, he was just an older version of Drury. People seemed to like him because he had that old fashioned voice that everyone in sports commentary had since the invention of the radio, and because by the time he retired, was an old man.
  13. This is it. TV coverage full of ex players of said clubs. Commentators are fans of said clubs. Even listening to the earlier match on the radio, I didn’t even know that Southampton were playing. It’s done on purpose. Those neutral fans, let’s push them to the big clubs, those fans in different countries, get your Liverpool/Man Utd/Arsenal/Chelsea/Spurs scarfs. Look at the coverage today. Super Sunday consisting of the countries 2 most successful clubs, up against the favourites for relegation. One of those clubs are in the position they are now because 10 years ago they had to sell all their decent players to the team they were up against today.
  14. It’s Alan Smith, cunt couldn’t form a decent response if he was given a thesaurus.
  15. Man Utd customers have pinched the Almirón song for their manager.
  16. Fucking hell, the commentary, absolutely fucking lifting. Going on as he’s hit a stoppage time screamer in the final of the cup final to win it.
  17. I can’t put my finger on it, but I can’t get away with Potter myself, I even thought that when he was at Brighton. Credit to him for how he went away to build his way up into the roles he’s got, but there is something about him that I don my like.
  18. Worlds apart really. They started off with no confidence, which just invited pressure, and got them off to a pretty bad start. Absolute horrific refereeing though. But ultimately, they are worlds apart, and the new lasses are the worst performers.
  19. So reading up further of it, apparently these amendments have to go to vote. If just 1 Lord or Baroness votes against it, then the amendment gets thrown out. Our best bet is to get Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay who is a Newcastle fan, to vote against it. He even opened the reading of the bill the day the amendment was proposed with stories of his love of Newcastle United. It is worth noting that he is a Conservative who believes very much in the free market, so he may also be against it in that aspect. I don’t know if there are any other sitting Lords who are Newcastle fans who would vote against it?
