Shadow Puppets

Purely anecdotally, I have two friends who’ve both been bed ridden with flu like symptoms and fever this week. Apparently absolutely awful. So it could be something similar.

I don’t remember Gordon ever smacking the glasses off a member of the oppositions back room staff? Or flinging his arms around, literally screaming at his team mates when he doesn’t receive the ball? Cunha may be a good player, but he’s clearly trouble.

Yes.

I’m not 100% sure… that was purely based on info from someone who works at St James’ who said there’s been a lot of activity over the last couple of weeks with photographers / film crews coming and going, and they guessed it was for the new kit. Last year all the kit stuff was filmed late March / early April, so the timings would line up.

Then you will very much be disappointed 😁

No, the leak is just a shirt someone has had made up based on loads of tidbits of real and false information. I thought it looked similar, but my memory was obviously hazy on it as it was a couple of months ago and I saw it for about 15 seconds on a tiny screen.

Disregard any confidence I had on this. It’s not remotely close, in any way 😁 The final production shirt (the authentic players version) is bloody class. Has a couple of controversial/modern elements, but in the flesh they’re nowhere near as pronounced as the mockups I saw earlier.

“Fake, but has some similarities” Which is annoyingly the vaguest fucking ITK shit out there. You’re welcome. 😁

Well aye… that’s what makes me have some doubts. I’d be surprised if someone would risk their job on it. But it does line up pretty closely to the version I saw a month or so back.

This lines up pretty closely to the one I was shown. Trying to get confirmation. I know they have been doing photoshoots / video shoots for the kit this week, so there’s a chance this is a legit leak from that.

They may be the two best free kicks I’ve ever seen. Unbelievable.

If the decision comes out re City, and it’s a points deduction, will it happen immediately?

Every predictor I have done seems to suggest if we clear 66 points we should finish 5th.

Nope. Plus, he's a bellend.

He’s there… behind Schar about half way back on the bus

Haven’t posted since the game… wanted to collect my thoughts into something relatively coherent. I was there with my 10 year-old lad and a couple of friends, and my wife and 7 year-old daughter had tickets with their friends a few blocks across. All week leading up to the game I had pretty much no confidence. All I wanted to see was commitment, and win or lose, to have no regrets. But I only gave us maybe a 10% chance. So I was relatively emotionless. Add into that, a bunch of my Liverpool supporting mates were saying how little the League Cup meant to them, and couldn’t quite grasp why it would mean much to me / NUFC fans, which had a dampening effect on the build up. But walking into the ground, taking in the atmosphere as it built, something changed. Watching our fans rise to the occasion pre-match… and then watching the first 10 minutes unfold… I turned to one of my mates and said “we’re going to do this”. It just felt like the players were never going to allow Liverpool to win. And after that… it was just a stream of incredible memories made between me and my lad and friends, and wife and daughter. Dan Burn 1-0… the crowd went absolutely wild, I looked down at my boy and he was crying full blown tears of joy… I picked him up, hugged him with all my heart, and from that point onwards I was an emotional wreck. I was getting texts from my little girl a few blocks along, beaming with joy. Isak 2-0… Tears, singing, hugging strangers, more exited 7-year old texts… 2-1… absolutely shitting it… and then… The final whistle… I didn’t hear it… I just saw players, wearing our shirts, do “that” run… the run I’ve never seen our players do before… the “winners” run… Me and my lad and mates burst into tears, grabbed each other and clinged on as the stadium erupted… catching only tiny glimpses of the scenes on the pitch. In that moment, my 40 years of hurt vanished, and all that was left was pure joy… pure pride… pure love… … And a lifetime of memories with my kids, wife and friends. That’s what it meant!

I absolutely adore the bloke like, limited in his ability or not… him and Dan Burn are the two I want to succeed the most.

You what? He’s comfortably been in our top 3-4 players of the season… Isak, Tonali, Hall and Burn.

Take it with a pinch of salt, but I was speaking to one of the players yesterday, and they think it's going to be 10-12 years before a new stadium is complete.

🤷‍♂️ I’ve asked He definitely has an injury to his other knee like… that much is true. But I was told on Sunday that they expected him to play vs Brighton (or be involved) and it was a relatively last minute decision for him not to be because he didn’t quite feel his best.

He wasn’t match fit for Spurs and Arsenal away but did alright there 🤷‍♂️

Been nowhere near as bad as this forum is making out like.

I believe there was a small allocation set aside for corporate clients, and that’s all.

Home strip could be controversial this year. Third strip is the best. Inspired by a classic but not a literal remake (not like this year). Just same / similar colour scheme as a 90s kit, with trefoil 👍🏻 Away kit is super boring.

Without wanting to rain on your parade, last I heard there was basically no hospitality left.
