  1. 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....
  2. stunned that this is 3pm kick off, genuinely could of swore that this was a 5.30 kick off
  3. 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

  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. don't think that's to bad at all tbh, but 65 quid is ridiculous
  8. could be wrong but I thinks that's from the 03/05 home kit
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. tbf there that was one of the better ones puma made for us lol
  12. I hate these statements cus I can never make head nor tail if there positive or not
  13. always minds me of Joe McElderry unfortunately
  14. predicted this when ancelotti left, but never really believed it would happen, really sad tbh
  15. any 1 see the leaked away/3rd that was on newcastle fan TV fb page I think it looks even worse cus its on a mannequin with a pair of tits absolutely hideous if true, would post pic on here but don't know how to
  16. I know before Ashley's time, but the summer of 03 is always in my mind, we only brought in bowyer...
  17. If Everton want him (and why wouldn't they) i think rafa would go in a heart beat, his family are based in Merseyside?, they are a big club, passionate fan base, owners who would be willing to support/fund his project that he would put in place, and as for the whole liverpool/Everton thing that wouldn't phase him i don't think, its the friendly derby after all never no malice or hatred, I said it upset liverpool fans a lot more when he went to Chelsea, than it would if he went to Everton
  18. Terrible move for howe, not going to celtic, massive club fanatical fan base, couple of good signings and they would be winning titles and domestic honours, with a few European nights under the flood lights at Park head... Whats next for him now managing mid table prem teams like palace and Southampton where its an achievement finishing above 12th, he will never get an opportunity like that again
  19. Love the current crest, have it tattood on me leg but I've always thought that old crest was class, deffo wouldn't oppose to it changing back to that one, as some one said on here, we've had the current one for over 30 years, obviously there's been great memories attached to it (some horrible ones aswell) but perhaps it has ran its course, look at the 30 years since we last changed it, nearly every club in the football league has changed there crest or modified it in someway... and if the takeover goes through great way to signify a new era
  20. Most definitely bullshit, but one of them nufc fan pages on fb claiming that we're going back to the round badge that was used in the mid 70s/early 80s?
