Same here, was pretty shite. Good crowd there though and a decent following from the Stan. Well impressed with Ashington's facilities too. So pleased for them as it has been a massive step up, and they looked doomed at one point.

Incredible player. One of the World's best.

Rafa knew.

I wasn't being entirely serious.

Agreed, he's utterly finished. I'm still having nightmares about that bit in the Cup Final where he tries to run the ball into the corner, weakly loses it and pathetically tries to chase the Liverpool player. It spoilt the whole day for me.

Mate of mine was at the Stan game, reckons the ref sent Hopper for jumping for a header and then continued to make terrible decisions all through the first half. He then sent the keeper off for swearing at half time. Backs agaisnt the wall now, massive weekend awaits.

Agreed. He's absolutely finished. Would much rather give Osula the minutes at this stage.

Rafa - inherited a team in the relegation zone and left them as an established PL team, after a negative net spend. Bruce - inherited an established PL team and left them firmly in the relegation zone, despite a £100m net spend. Context is everything.

I knew it was going to be something special yesterday as I was at the Grainger Market early doors, and people of all ages were pouring into the city. There was a definitive buzz about the place. My son went to the Moor with his pals and I watched from the Central Motoway with my wife and daughter, neither who are football fans.....they seemed more giddy than I was in all honesty. Magical day and atmosphere, I just wished my Dad who passed away in January, was there to see it. Let's win some more!

Another Heaton Stan horror show, gubbed 1-4 at home to Bridlington to drop into the relegation zone. Fucking ridiculous long ball tactics against a team with giant centre halves.

That sounds utter wank in all honesty.

I think Bruno and Tripps were talking about it as they were walking up the stairs together. Such a touch of class.

Aye, that's me away again.

Lost my Dad about a couple of months ago, this one's for you fella.

Would have preferred 70k+ but 65k with the possibility to expand would be canny. Great news for the club and city.

In the big game tonight, Heaton Stan thrash NUFC U21's 3-0 to reach the Northumberland Senior Cup final.

FFS man.

Need to stop persisting with this decrepit old cunt and play Osula.

Weak as piss from about 4 players there.

I was there against Dunston and last night, and they really seem to have turned a corner. They've brought in quite a few new players who seem to be working now, have a bit more pace in the team, and Connor Walker is flying in midfield. The lad they've just signed from Whitley Bay was immense last night too.

Spawny cunt. 🤣

How does Salah usually perform in Ramadan?

This is my take on it as well, the SJP I grew up in is long gone, time to move forward. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to join the elite, we'd be mad not to take it.

Tbf, Given appeared to be permanently welded to his line for crosses into the box, and close range headers were definitely a weakness of his. It didn't stop him being an absolutely fantastic keeper for us mind.

Sad news, he can't have been that old either.....loved the Withe/Shoulder big man/small man combination from my first couple of seasons at SJP. The rest of the team was garbage to be fair. RIP.
