Chicken Dancer

FFS that changes things then Me and the lads were in awe at times, especially when they kept booing/whistling on the rare occasion the hungover, boiling hot away end tried to get out going. I've since told everyone who can listen how class they were too

When I was at the San Siro for our game in 2023 I hadn't heard a home crowd as loud to be fair. Someone said to me after the game that you use speakers to amplify the sound (not sure if bullshit) but either way, it was deafening at times.

One of the best in football this. Them and Celtic have a hell of a songbook, as do Liverpool and Man Utd. When St James’ gets going there’s nowhere like it from my experience, if I had a time machine I’d love to experienced the PSG game from the away end. But our songbook is still shit. My toes curl every time Hey Jude is played before a game. Needs to fuck off asap that.

Our songbook is tragic these days like. Relies on ripping off - and butchering - other teams songs.

A lot will depend on the result too like. If we lose and play like shit I suspect loads will fuck off, especially with Sunday service on public transport.

I honestly couldn’t give a shiny shite about finishing above Sunderland. I remember the season we beat them 5-1 (yes we actually used to beat them) and chucking a 3-0 lead to West Brom on the last day which allowed the mackems to finish above us. They were jubilant, despite us beating them 5-1 the same season. The only set of us that care about the much coveted, homemade NETD trophy is them lot. They’ve deservedly beat us twice so us finishing above them on GD or something means naff all to me. All in on relegating Spurs

Don't I'd take Trafford to be fair but I'm hoping the days of bidding daft money for players in the PL are over. I'd like to think last summer was a wake up call. Hopefully a functioning CEO, DOF and that Suds fella help this year.

PSR workaround or not, the fact somebody thought it was OK to pay £45m for Joe Gomez man, Christ almighty. Add that to the ever growing list that includes Elanga, Wissa, Strand Larsen et al of signings/bids that just blow my mind. Pure cucks for bang average players playing in the Premier League. Who's actually signing off this shit

Absolutely be staying. They’ve been shite this season but I’ll always be grateful. I think loads won’t say though, as daft as that is. Awful kick off time like which won’t help.

Agree with that. If he's not scoring he's a passenger for the most part. Still it's always good to have a player with a knack of finding the net in your squad, but he definitely shouldn't be starting many games.

More than one person at the club thought it would be a good idea to pay £110m for him and Elanga. The same people that probably thought it was equally a good idea to pay a similar amount for Strand Larsen. Let’s hope for all our sakes said people don’t have much say in our summer business.

Given am 37 years old I never understand why people get so worked up about kits… but fuck me that’s rotten like

As I say I don’t disagree with the general statement, just third is outrageous. A good keeper a striker we’d maybe have not chucked as many as 27 points away from winning positions (which is a fucking disgrace btw). We’d be in amongst Brighton and Bournemouth fighting for 6-8th I’d guess.

I don’t disagree, but third is ridiculous. We’d be in amongst the likes of Brighton I’d hope but we’d not be third. We need a lot more than a keeper and a striker to be the third best team in the country.

We’d be higher up for sure but third is ridiculously optimistic.

Some fucker in the away end next to me today said if we had a decent keeper and striker we’d be third

Absolutely shit. Every one of them. Playing Joelinton there is even worse.

I thought it was areet to be fair but I agree, lots of whinging. I also got the dreaded ‘this is my seat mate’ chat off someone.

Just got home. Enjoyed that away end (for the most) and thought we played ok. Context is key though. Forest were down to bare bones, having played less than 72 hours ago and missing most of their key players. Conceding late has become a trademark of the season and sadly the buck stops with the manager. I certainly wasn’t shocked when they scored - in fact I expected it. As I said we played Ok so feel harsh to go too heavy but Hall at RB and starting Burn and Joelinton on the left just blows my mind like. But I know that won’t be the popular opinion.

£70m should be the bottom line. Elanga and Kudus were £55m each. We paid £40m for Harvey Barnes 3 years ago, I’d definitely want it to be closer to £80m.

Apparently we can have up to 10 teams in Europe if Palace and Villa win their competitions, but surely 9th can’t qualify for Europe man that would be ridiculous.

Cheers pal. Assume if Palace win Conference League then we get two teams in the Europa?

Assume Villa and Palace win the finals, how does it work for league position? Surely say 9th or something don’t get in Europe.

Darwin Nunez Makes Wissa look like R9. Don’t mind Delap - he was on a hiding to nowt at Chelsea, though it has gone horribly wrong so God knows what that’s done for his confidence.

Probably is the right time to let him go. Absolutely love him though. Seen him in town walking down Northumberland Street with a fucking gorgeous lass about 4 years ago. He was absolutely lush too. My lass will be gutted the day he leaves.
