GeordieT

Faith that he’ll turn it around and performances need to be considered in the context in the quantum of unavailable players that gives new meaning to ‘injury crisis’. Need to be pushing the button on incomings January 1st. 
 

But we absolutely have to beat Forest or it could be 1 win in 7; with unenviable trips to Liverpool and Villa, a banana skin of a third round tie, and the only home comforts to count on a game against Man City. At which stage any manager is going to be under pressure.

Livramento might need a rest, he's returning from a long term lay off.

Equally though, is Burn not on the record stating he’s hoped to have a ‘couple more weeks recovery’?

But Livramento has won his spot in the side, would be a shame for him to fall out.

Good piece on Manchester United’s ‘footballing operations’. Evident it would be quite the leap of faith for him to go there. Absolute shit show.

Botman back is great. 

Yeah see he’s posted on IG, which would look to be a confirmation.

Must win. Mood will be abysmal otherwise.

Someone in front of me asked who ‘Gary Robson’ was as Wor Flags did their thing.

Otherwise, it simmered briefly but never really got going.

‘What got us here won’t get us there’ is Almiron in a nutshell for me. If we genuinely aspire to bigger and better things, he just doesn’t offer enough. Feels like the obvious starting 11 replacement.

Workrate was excellent tonight.

Gordon been spotted arriving?

Empirically and from games I’ve been to this season, what is considered ‘shit atmospheres’ correlates almost perfectly to dire performances. Makes you wonder…

Best of luck to anyone making alternative arrangements, incredibly long day in prospect.

Sorry this survey is absolutely abhorrent.   Customers not fans. It is evident what they are trying to do - build two separate business cases for staying put and renovating or moving.  
 

Read earlier in the week that at White Hart Lane spend per head was £1.75. In the new stadium, it’s about £16. Firstly we aren’t that supporter base, and secondly, the location of the stadium in relation to other quality independent offerings in the city - you’d never get me and many others turning up for an hour and a half before for some overpriced tempura chicken and chips.

Unlike other posters I do wonder whether the results of this - which look to be universally negative - will dampen any enthusiasm for a move amongst the hierarchy. 

That’s all cleared up then.

You have to suspect that the Premier Leagues gutless response to Man City and Chelsea to date is partly out of fear Super League plans will be revisited. In both cases based on this precedent we would surely see relegation and titles stripped.

Can someone explain the history of this trans / homophobic Twitter spat that’s seen Elon get involved?

Edit: just seen other thread.

Geordie T On a scale of 1 - 100 how sure are you that it was Callum. Not questioning your honesty but it can be difficult to identify people. I once thought i saw Jan aage Fjortoft so I followed him turned out it was just a randon skinny tall bloke in a tracksuit but i was convinced it was him.

It was unequivocally him. In a rather smart Lamborghini Urus if you want the details.

So all depends when the squad departed - 2.30PM I would have thought was a little early - but others and ardent flight watchers will know better. Find out soon enough.

If that is indeed it, he definitely wasn’t on it. But to a previous question, he was parked up. Difficult to say if he still had all of his limbs.

This was c. 3PM to put a time stamp on ‘just’. 

What time would we expect the team to fly down for this? Today or tomorrow?Just seen Callum Wilson in Jesmond.

Seen 3 fights in lower stamding section, absolutetly pathetic. Bairns crying as well.

 

Also no way everyone in that end had 40 odd points. Literally group in front of us at half time saying to someone they not been St James in a couple of years.

 

Theres too many fans who just want to go to champions league game and too many get tickets.

 

On another note ticketing was a fucking shambles at their ground

Assuming you were in block 60/61, any idea what the big fight was caused by? That saw a guy, having been frustrated by stewards in his attempts to confront someone, climb over the barrier to start something really quite nasty?

And on ticketing, know of two individuals that have been offered a token gesture of a refund based on not actually being able to get into the terrace. Must have been 50 or so standing awkwardly at the front.

Interesting to see if Hall or Tino can cement a place in that time. Huge opportunity.

Big boost.
 

Howe isn’t half sneaky with the media. Half expecting Isak to be available for Dortmund. 

Howe stating that he’s unable to train at the moment and “awaiting clarity” on his situation.

Used it as was hardly a queue there.

What time was that? Probably took me 15 minutes from c. 2.40. Smaller than others but that’s faint praise.

They’ve created a new turnstile in the East Stand ‘42a’, made negligible difference. Just chaos.

Forgot he existed.
