Emotional. What a day. Never thought we'd see it. Fucking get in.

Not that bloke from Oxford away again is it?

Loves his wingbacks doesn't he. No different to Bruce really.

Absolutely - left after Rafa and have no right to expect any sort of preferential treatment.

Bought a couple Spurs tickets, this could backfire horrifically.

Heart can't take it if this turns out to be another lowda shite again. Please.

Aahh, aye you't think so although Marske somehow pumped Shields rotten.

Wew, good draw that. At least two NE (kind of) teams in the 1st Round.

Yet seemingly angry that they don't represent your views......

Very difficult to categorically state whether any of those are a direct result of organised protests or just a natural result of us being shit at football, my gut feeling is the latter. From a purely personal POV, I sacked off my season ticket after Rafa, not as a result of any Twitter page but simply because for me it was no longer worth my time/money. Also tend to think Pardew would have got plenty of grief without any organisation, as we're starting to see Bruce get now. Genuinely wish our protests were effective, but a combination of an owner who doesn't give a shit and a fanbase not overly interested in radical action (as with most PL fanbases), doesn't lend itself too it. Fair play to those who still give it a go like.

Don't worry about it. Such as?

Massive failure to realise that those interested in militant action are in the minority, albeit a noisy one. Most who would be interested in such things have already sacked it off long ago. So even if the Trust weren't a serious organisation, not sure what benefit there would be in openly supporting a boycott destined to fail. They haven't changed their modus operandi, so unsure why there's the sudden outrage over it. Have to agree with those saying if you want a protest group, start one up. Personally don't think any of the protests over the last decade have made an iota of difference, and I took part in a couple.

Worse the Labour Party our fanbase for infighting and bitching. Anger as always misdirected.

At least you're guaranteed your pay-off. Wild Italians. Opposite end of the spectrum to Ashley, neither good.

Hippo Heed's Bolton were the masters of it.

Making a bit of a habit of getting complacent when going ahead, should have seen out yesterday comfortably. Whitby & Matlock started very well too, going to be an interesting season. You'd think being full time will give Shields the edge over the course of it.

Absolutely.

Comes across like a bitter little freak.

It's got next to no prestige though. Barely a rung up from the Pizza Cup. Would much rather all efforts were put into restoring the FA Cup to what it once was.

All for binning the League Cup tbf. Would do a lot for the FA Cup as well you feel.

Sad news, awful disease. Don't dislike Kinnear tbf, his spell in charge is just filed under peak banter years.

Woeful standard, just foul after foul.

For many, myself included, it's a step too far actively wanting us to lose. There's been plenty of managers we've wanted rid of in the past, Sounness, Fat Sam etc, but can't remember anyone genuinely hoping for defeats until the rise of the twitter/forums. Weird phenomenon.

Hope the atmosphere is hostile either way like. Either a la Liverpool couple of years back or, if we go down a goal, extremely aggressive anti-Bruce / Ashley.

Wasn't even a foul. Atrocious decision.
