Aye I desperately want a white patched shirt to make it Champions League accurate. Hopefully there are plans to release them soon.

Ask any West Ham fan and they'll tell you Paqueta has a very poor start to life with them. Started to come good around January / February.

I thought he was "OK" yesterday, as were most of the team.

Fair result. Desperately need the break and a few injured / suspended players back. -

Second half much much better. -

Because we have been shit with Isak in the middle so Howe has moved him out wide, and we've improved. -

Massively missing Gordon's intensity today. -
I’m absolutely in love with that white short, white patch, red letter combo like. Beautiful.
-
I thought he was excellent first half. Second half he looked to tire, but first half you could see the player we bought. He’s on his way now. Give him another 10 games and he’ll be a mainstay.

Yeah, that was comfortably the best I’ve ever seen St James’. Absolutely unreal from start to finish. Even that spell after they scored, the crowd roared them on. Singing all over the ground, people out of their seats. Phenomenal. I was there for 5-0 in 96, 7-1 in 96, the 5-1 Sunderland game, the 6-1 Spurs game, and that was comfortably the best. What a night!

Newcastle United 4-1 Paris Saint-Germain (04/10/23)

I think that might be my favourite ever night at St James’ Park. Special from start to finish. The loudest I’ve heard it. Just unreal. -
It's a human error. They happen all the time in football. Deal with it and move on. Delighted Jones' card hasn't been overturned... that was as clear a red as you'll ever see.
-
It's absolutely insane that anyone's trying to claim that the first red card wasn't a red. It was about as blatant as they come, even in full speed, even if the ref wasn't show the still image of the contact. It's dangerous. It might not be intentional, but it's certainly dangerous. I don't have much issue with the second red either. Obviously the first Jota incident shouldn't have been a yellow, but how many times do we see stuff like that given. I can understand why the ref gave it... in real time it does look like he nudges him for a cynical foul. The point is, Jota is then a moron for making that second challenge. Obviously the whole situation with the disallowed goal is ridiculous, but it has happened to loads of teams. It's human error, just like pre-VAR. I think the VAR ref should be banned for a few games, but that's it. It was a clusterfuck, but there's been loads. Liverpool aren't special.

I’m fully in the camp of needing a new stadium like. It’s tired, and it feels like everything they’d do to increase capacity etc, would be a temporary patch on the problems.
-
The atmosphere was class vs Villa. You know what’s been missing since then… Wor Flags.
-
I new stadium would cost in the region of £500m-£750m and you wouldn’t need anywhere near that amount of money in advance.
-
I sat near him at the match on Wednesday and he seemed to be moving fine ?♂️

Tiered memberships would just bring with it more question marks over people paying more getting more benefits (not that I have a problem with that). There aren't many perfect solutions, but some incremental changes would help for sure.
-
If any opposing fans came on here during a match thread they'd think exactly the same. Usual suspects.
-
I think the strength of feeling isn't as big as you are making out, to be honest. In general conversations with mates most seem fairly understanding of the rule changes and why they needed to be implemented, although acknowledge that there are issues that need ironing out.
-
No doubt. Could explain why the hospitality / media stuff is all running smoothly though (the club still definitely run that side).

The first half was fine considering our line up. Slightly frustrating we couldn't do more with the ball, but we contained them and limited them to mainly sideways passing. Apart from one good chance I don't remember feeling overly worried we would concede. Second half we were tremendous.
