as someone said previously on this thread only newcastle can you go from feeling such a high to feeling so low less than 24 hours later. the reason emery got me so excited bar his trophy filled CV, was that he was there perfect candidate to stop us getting cut adrift with the type of football he plays, spend a few bob in January and get us up the table, then after this seasons over building for the future, every confidence emery would've had us in or around the tob 6 and challenging for silverware.... but with howe it just doesn't make any sense, with the run we have between now and January, we could literally be 9-12 points from safety before the transfer window opens.... and say we do stay up do we trust howe with the rebuilding process, he spent a lot of money at bournemouth and that didn't pan out great, the owners have stated they want to be challenging for leagues and Champions leagues within 10 years, there's no way Howe will have us anywhere near the top 8, let alone the title

not gonna lie I will be devastated if this falls through..... and howe coming in just feels so underwhelming...

he's a knob head, mind when rafa took the Everton job he was on bein sports with Keys and Gray saying what a terrible appoint Rafa was, and he hasn't done anything recently etc....

would be delighted if its emery, was my number 1 choice (bar rafa coming back) but didn't think he would leave Villarreal at this stage of the season.... exciting times ahead if we pull this off

where has all this wenger talk suddenly come out of ? would love him till end of season tbh

the takeover happened the day after my baby was born, so the fiancée got me and the baba the home Jersey, and got 'daddy 1 ' on the back of mine 1st time I seen the new Jersey up close actually think the Jersey looks nice, its just one of the D's and one of the Y's is peeling off already.... and the sizing is a bit mad, I would normally wear a large and even that is a bit baggy, but the woman bought me a XL and its actually a bit on the short size

fucking hell, such a terrible decision.... fucking get rid... thats the optimism of the last 7 days out the window.... a heavy defeat and thats us cut adrift

conte free ?

longstaff really is dreadful

aye social media deffo has a part to play in it, it deffo influences me anyways, but back then under Souness/fat Sam it didn't seen no where is bad as it does now, there was always some inkling of hope that things were gonna turn around... felt as a fanbase we were always singing from the same hymn sheet ... maybe not maybe I'm just looking back from rose-tinted glasses because I was only a kid.... it all started for me in 2014 I remember when we came back to draw away from Swansea I was fuming cus I thought if we where to loose pardew would get sacked and we could start progressing.... (obviously we will never progress until Ashley is gone) under McClaren I initially got behind the team, until it was clear that he was incompetent and hadn't a clue what he was doing....then rafa came and I felt like a kid again was 100% emotionally invested in the club again, knew deep down with Ashley there that it would go tits up eventually, but just having a man of his class, professionalism and quality, who had a genuine interest and care in the football club and the city, even went back to buying a Jersey each season rafa was there?.... but when he left it all changed for me, like a lot of people in here, when Bruce came in it just became emotionless for me now, I dont feel the anger I did with pardew, carver and McClaren its much worse I just don't feel anything bar sadness at times, especially when I flick on sky sports or motd and see rafa doing his thing at Everton, on occasion over the last 2 years I do find my self cheering when we score or win, or gaining interest but... it slowly fades.... I just can't wait when we have a new manager and new owner and we can get excited for the match at the weekend, for a new season etc, until then....

stunned that this is 3pm kick off, genuinely could of swore that this was a 5.30 kick off

stop the world and let me off please

think it will be blue tbh.... the keeper away is orange and since June it was going around that the home will be predominantly black with a grandad collar, away black and the 3rd will be blue... they got the other 2 right

that is class tbh

fuck sake

call me gullible, but when she said that about "welcoming us to SJP" and saying at the end "IT WILL HAPPEN" genuinely gave me goosebumps and tingles down my spine

that west ham kit it class, leaked away looks smart to, was desperately hoping we would get umbro whenever the puma deal ended, they have been the most consistent kit suppliers now since the tailored by umbro range in the late 00s early 10s

don't think that's to bad at all tbh, but 65 quid is ridiculous

could be wrong but I thinks that's from the 03/05 home kit

yeah was rumours going around now for a month or 2, even before them concept kits came out, that the away is blue and the 3rd is black and Gold, or the other way about.

I don't know if that would be strictly true tbh, I don't think that the replica shirt market is what it once was, last few times I went to sjp 18/19, felt there was a lot more fans wearing retros, be it authentic or remakes, was even a big chunk wearing plain clothes, even now during the euros the fans in the stands in Wembley or footage of them fan parks, the majority of people seem to be wearing old jerseys/retros.... think it has a lot to do with the price of a Jersey and the fact that they change it that often, that they don't mean as much as they use to

tbf there that was one of the better ones puma made for us lol

I hate these statements cus I can never make head nor tail if there positive or not

always minds me of Joe McElderry unfortunately
