With the players available, with the run we’re on? I’d say it’s up there. It might not be the greatest we’ve had in a decade but within 2 weeks of Howe we’re playing like that? Yep, I think we need to be optimistic, otherwise what’s the point - let’s just accept relegation now. Plenty of others on here have

Records are there to be broken

Hesitant in his box, hesitant to come out of the box early, poor comms, and clearly howlers in him as well. Can’t play again when we’re in a relegation battle. It’s that simple, and I’m sure Howe will have him benched next week.

For once a lot of positives from that game. People saying we’re relegated man. Give over. That’s possibly the best attacking display I’ve seen from us in nigh on a decade. Set pieces were excellent too. We know the issues in defence, we have to power through until January and hope we can pick up enough points. However, Darlow was horrific.

If that’s how he plays after two weeks of Howe…

Fucking hate that Blaydon Races

Better than the current shirt for sure

Norwich ticket bought immediately Ah well, going on my own and got the last Strawberry Corner seat. Couldn’t make it up.

An update on her thoughts on the atmosphere etc would be interesting! enjoy

And yet Batty saw football as solely a job he was good at and really doesn't care much about it at all. Imagine that, for all of his ability

Anywhere in North Shields play the match on a dodgy stream? Asking for a friend ?

In fairness, if he needs dropping because his attitude is shite and he won’t track back - then I’m all for it.

2004. FA Cup Semi and UEFA Cup Semi.

Yep, he could be key to us sorting ourselves out defensively if he comes back in and plays well. I also think his style of play in defence and driving the ball forward is what Howe would like to see.

Even with the black eye

I’ll try some names not already mentioned. Coloccini Hibbert McDonald

Quite a weird thought when you put it like that. Also, on that note, we're now on the longest streak in NUFC history of not reaching a Cup Final. From videos and photos I've seen the '74 cup final was a huge deal and that was 19 years of waiting, again the '98 cup final looked amazing (atmosphere wise) and that was then our longest streak. God knows what it'll be like when we finally reach a cup final again. Previous streaks: 1999-2022+ (23 years and counting) 1976-1998 (22 years) 1932-1951 (19 years) 1955-1974 (19 years) 1892-1905 (13 years) 1911-1924 (13 years) 1924-1932 (8 years) 1952-1955 (3 years) 1974-1976 (2 years) 1908-1910 (2 years)

Who doesn’t love a good pitch invasion man?

It’s different, I like it!

Enjoy lads. If you’re worried you won’t get the buzz back - don’t! It was instantaneous for me

City crest edges it for me, but our current one is timeless. Not a fan of City’s but if you look back at their previous crests it’s understandable how/why they changed it to its current format. I’m really not sure how we could improve ours with any nod to history imo. It’s great as it is.

Wow. Blast from the past

All in one row of seats…

Great…another season bouncing back When was the last time they stayed up longer than 1 season?

Great post Heron. Agree with every word. On that note - I’m genuinely worried about this kid. He’s quit uni and classes this as his ‘job’. Fair enough giving it a go, but this has been every day this week man.
