According to some twitterer apparently with a club source, the attendance was actually a smidge over 31,000.

Apparently the club declared the attendance to NP as 47k also.

Excellent effort today. Feels like ground has been made.

There's thousands of unsold tickets, I reckon the official attendance will be 46-47k with about 40,000 actually in the ground.

 

That would be a very decent result.

Yeah it would be, I can't see more than about 6k regulars not turning up though.

A harmless and small time gesture that I'll raise a smile to - if it happens. Hopefully it will be the last we see of them for a good few years.

 

 

They won't go down. They were in a far worse position this time last season with even more difficult fixtures to play and stayed up. The 3 that's there now will more than likely go down but if one of them stops up it'll be at the expense of Hull.

Yeah I suspect they will scrape it. Can't see them getting more than 4/5 points but that will be enough.

Pure AIDS that. Moans about Ashley, actively endorses him. Like so many others.

At Sunderland Drumaville were looking for a way out, hence Niall Quinns involvement iirc. Ashley isn't unless we give him a strong enough reason to.

Holy crap. Kill it. Kill it with fire. The Sack Pardew campaign only succeeded in making us look fickle. It actually made Pardew look unfairly targeted for abuse, since every man and his dog knew Ashley was the root cause of all our ills. It also bizarrely ended up making Pardew (and even Ashley in some ways) look like honourable men. Even in victory, it has somehow ended up making Pardew look like a half decent coach, and has ensured that every time Palace win, the world is reminded of the fact he walked out on us. It also added yet another chapter in the whole NUFC is a circus meme when Carver got so p*ssed off with it he actually offered us out. And worse than any of that, it has lumbered us with Carver, who is evidently an even worse manager. On this record of success, any right thinking fan who wants Ashely out won't want these jokers anywhere near the campaign - lest we end up with Ashley taking over Sunderland and wining the cup, with NUFC being sold to Doug Ellis.

So having unfortunately read the rest, what do you propose?

Getting tiresome the level of simulation.

"Fell out of love" 

Absolute BS about the finances Alan and you know it. Lack of investment down to one man.

James Beattie: a dim, sense of humour-less dullard.

Give him a break he's 18 ffs

 

I hate this argument about football to be frank, you're either good enough to be on the pitch or not.

At this moment in time, Armstrong coming onto the pitch with however many minutes left - offered nothing.

 

Aaron's is 19, yet there (in my opinion) is a distinct difference in ability between the two.

I wouldn't be disappointed if Aaron's came on, I would be if Armstrong did.

 

You might be right, he may well amount to not a lot. I just don't think its fair to judge him yet after a handful of appearances.

Didn't Beardsley himself say that not one academy player was ready yet?.

 

To be fair, I think he is a really good youth product - but not somebody that should be on the pitch for us at the moment.

It just does nothing for his confidence and progression being thrown onto the floor for 3 minutes by Arsenal's 6 foot 6 back four.

If anything it just highlights what an awful lack of quality/depth we have at the moment.

 

But don't worry, because big John says we're going to sign the whole world in the summer.

Haha, yea agree with all that.

Great game, gave everything in that second half. Can't ask for much more when apart from 4 players the rest of the squad is so limited.

Perez has led the line absolutely superbly today imo.

Entertaining match this for once.

Some fans leaving

Ah well, hopefully another nail into Carver's chances.
