Struggling to figure out why a GIF I've never posted in this thread is linked to my request for a Forest away ticket in the ticket forum, mind.

Not a single Saturday 3pm from December until at least April.

He's been quality like. Been better than Botman for me, but only marginally. This is definitely his best form for us, much better than when he was last mint in Benitez' 3-4-3 in the latter half of 18/19.

I'd put the bevvies down, without wanting to sound like a patronising wanker. Those who didn't give their ST up before the takeover were in my eyes more or less gambling on the current state of affairs eventually happening: sticking it out until Ashley was going. Some saw that as wrong but I never did tbph, the debate on matchgoing fans on here and in general was tedious as fuck imo and has been since it started around 2014ish. They're no less or more Newcastle fans than me or anyone else. They stuck it out and are reaping the rewards for doing so. Same with those with a high amount of loyalty points. So fair enough to them. On top of that the atmospheres at games have been poor for years bar a select few games under Benitez and now Howe. Small adjustments need to be made in regards to singing section(s), safe standing, size of the family enclosure and it'll be class again. Who has STs now has no bearing on that. My own personal circumstances are I more or less had to chuck my ST, due to no longer qualifying as a junior (haha), the price hikes and the logistics of getting games whilst being at uni down in Derby. On top of that Benitez left and Bruce came in so there was extra incentive to chuck it. But regardless, my ST went from ~£220 for the 2018-19 season to £811 for 2019-20 and I could not justify paying that whilst a student who was to be moving and living down in the East Midlands given travel costs et cetera. I wish never chucked it now obviously but no one could've foreseen this wave of positivity.

No idea if I've read too much into this but Isak seems just ice cold. Doesn't give a toss (in a good way), as in he could miss a couple chances in a game and it'd not affect him whatsoever. You see him get interviewed and he seems so laid back, so cool and calm, at times looking like he's trying not to laugh. He's class. I love him. Probably far too much for someone who's yet to hit double figures in terms of appearances for us.

Not surprised it got a bit feisty tbh after that nonce had a go at Bruno for being fouled.

Thought he was fading a bit in the second half in that 10-15 minutes after the Joelinton miss but seemed to perk up once ASM and Isak were on. Whole team did tbh.

Eddie has as many wins at Southampton already as we had in the previous 49 years.

Aye, similar feelings atm as in late August and September. Someone's getting twatted soon like we did to Fulham and Brentford.

Must start the 2nd leg and v West Ham for me now. The guy's fucking quality.

Needs to start now. Relieved the pressure we were under for the 10 minutes after the Joelinton miss to the point where it was all us again.

Handball?

Fucking hell.

Vecker svensk kung.

Alex. You fucking beauty.

We've been shit since the Joelinton miss. Midfield have been woeful this second half.

Pope digging us out again.

I reckon we should put the bloke who we spent £60m on to score goals on the pitch.

Just fuck off.

We lack any threat from the left when Joelinton's there imo. We all rave about the record of first half clean sheets; that's now our 7th consecutive first half we've failed to score in. Needs a rethink. BUT we're clearly the better side. It's just frustrating as fuck.

Need to rethink that front 3. Doesn't work.

We're much the better side but are lacking the incisiveness on the ball when it matters. A lot like Saturday. Sick of failing to score now mind. Haven't scored in 7 consecutive first halves now.
