Chapo

This new transfer fella on SSN is the worst yet! He emphasises every word he says and his mouth opens far to wide when he speaks.

Lol

Bassong maybe? Although then again he wanted to leave and we were in the Championship.

I form my opinion on what players are like by their behaviour during trophy presentations.

Chap on the left is Alex Gilliead. Not sure who the other one is.

I wonder what kind of funding goes towards soccer here? GAA clubs have fantastic funding. I mean even small clubs get so much. Pretty much every town/village in Ireland has a GAA club which has a club house, personalized kits, gyms etc and in a lot of cases flood lighting. If the FAI and the IFA invested as much into local soccer as the GAA does in to local clubs then maybe there'd be more of an interest and therefore better players here? somehow I get the feeling not very much not when theres a stadium to payoff and the ridiculous amounts the likes of John Delany get (and had the audacity and cheek to defend his salary) while under his "enlightened" stewardship the league clubs are falling to pieces while the FAI does sweet f*** all. But hey, at least we've got da bestest fanz in da world!!

You're alright, he's marking James McClean.

I'm the same but the lack of quality is shocking! We're effectively paying trap to polish a turd! And paying him a ridiculous amount at that!

To put it another way: Milwall, Mackems, Villa, Stoke, Hull, Leeds, Stoke, Mackems, La Galaxy, West Brom And the manager gets paid 2million a year!

Ireland team: Forde; Coleman, O'Shea, Clark, Wilson; Brady (confirmed after training), Green, Whelan, McClean; Keane, Long Don't think I'll have to save up for flights to Brazil

Edit beaten to it

Ref slipping on his arse tbf

He made a great run in behind their defence at one stage, pity Marv went for the shot instead. Some of them almost seemed hesitant to pass it to him.

Best performance to date for us

MOTM

Is this on any of the ITV's or just ESPN? If the spurs game goes to extra time I'm gonna miss the start of ours! Thank you ESPN blacking out Europa League games in Ireland!!

God yeah, I realise that but the site now being called NUFC Direct and the font on the website isn't that dissimilar to what's on the SD site. Or maybe I'm just over analyising the whole thing.

Possibly a Giggs but the new official online club store is creeping towards being A bit sports directy? http://www.nufcdirect.com/

Better not go to extra time or I'll miss the start of our game!!

Last home game of the relegation season. Lost 1-0 to Fulham, Bassong got sent off and Vidukas equaliser was dissallowed! The high going into that game after beating Boro midweek only to be shot down with the reality of relegation was awful. Think that might've been Fulhams only away win that season. Not a great start!
