Can't imagine it would take that long to rebuild. The Milburn extension was a trickier prospect so took longer. But the bulk of the Leazes took from March-August 93 and the Gallowgate from January-July-94. Been thinking, instead of a steeper East Stand, if a deeper one wouldn't be better, there's room to play with in terms of the foundations and could remain roughly the same height.

Watched the last 20' plus extra time and not expecting to be interested kinda got grabbed by it, right team won and was chuffed when they scored. The poor relations of NE football might go the same way. Again. Every little helps with that Burnley result, games in hand gone feels nice.

Foreshadowing the inbound 28% possession.

The Bernabeu 90s expansion is an obvious but good indication of what SJP would look like with an extended Gallowgate and steep but smaller main stand/East Stand. Its pretty confined too though not to Leazes terrace degrees. Pictures 15, 20, 23 & 25 on this https://en.as.com/en/2018/12/14/album/1544782485_297892.html imagining pic20 as a good representation of an East Stand expansion and its effects. (I'm only after a few thousand extra, not a Milburn/Leazes size)

I think he's right to mention expectations actually. It was too much, one might almost say 'delusional', of the West Brom fans to expect not to drop 10places in the league upon appointing him. Doesn't surprise me at all.

Yep. We're experiencing a turn around now but the up-turn after appointing Roeder is still the most stark. Moreso than even Keegan and Sir Bobby. From P23 W7 L11 GF20 5th bottom out the cup in a shambles at Wigan to P15 W10 L3 GF27 (one at Man U, another v Liverpool) and a narrow QF defeat at Chelsea and up to 7th

This c*nt still on £8million+ a win this season? He's doing the mirror opposite at West Brom to what Dean Smith did at Villa when he took over from him. As a post Bruce winless NUFC go on a 7 match unbeaten streak, is it still 'delusional' to think he's s**t and not delusional at all to think he has nothing to do with the awful football and record that follows him around?

There's a lot earning them with their attitudes at the very least. Going to be bittersweet to have to be so ruthless about it going forward.

Spanner in the works. Without change was confident of finishing above them now. No logic of course, just new manager bounce possibilities.

Targett, Burn and a Wood type (disregarding the clause we never would have met) was feasible under Bruce/Ashley yet the organisation and form that stems from it never were. Its some performance from Howe and his team, even accepting the neglect and laze of the previous manager, the individuals, team collective, the organisation. Defence back to Rafa levels. Even some of the darker stuff.

Management this second half has been

Joe me lads you should have seen us gannin

I fancy them today, gut feeling, no pressure on them as underdogs and even a draw will be a moral victory. Underdogs against Wigan in the 3rd division

I think a lot of people know this and just wilfully misrepresent it to suit themselves (RTG), which is low. The many others that just assume those versions of events to be representative are ignorant. (also RTG) Its a civil war fuelled by proxy operators - both of these things take two sides and even then its an Arab coallition not just one country. I actually never seen it represented as anything else....until we were taken over.

Because normally managers go into a perfect set ups after their predecessors were sacked for doing a great job and a 'new manager bounce' like, never happens, its not even a thing, just some words put together The all-out defense of this bloke - who has achieved nothing as a manager in nearly a 25years is weird. He's the victim again.

Last time I seen him was on Match of the Day or Focus and was saying he'd had offers but was waiting for the right opportunity. Honestly thought he was angling for us. The other offers must have been corkers.

Barbaric this is. Shows what a great job the previous manager did that we could be on a 7game unbeaten streak and still be in the relegation zone at the weekend. That Burnley game is written to matter isnt it.

So Spurs that. Would also have been so Spurs to get thrashed at Man City and then get beat at Burnley too. Such are the trials of a pretendy big six club.

A limited SJP over that any day for me.

Burton have a 22% loss rate against the mackems, the only league team they've played more than 7 times and have a lower loss rate to is Wimbledon. Similar to our record against Barcelona. I know which one I'd rather have a s**t record against,

‘Bruce so far, has given the team nothing. No instructions, no shape, no tactics, no clear plan, just chaos’ Yes, I'm familiar with his works

To see the Cheviots

This c*nt still on £8million+ a win this season?

For some exttra interest Stoke, Millwall and Blackpool who are right behind WBA play tomorrow. Stoke would go above them with a win, Millwall could go above them with a win and both will still have a game in hand. Not that I'm bitter or anything.

Wasting no time with this one. Be able to squeeze in the razing to the ground of a few more clubs if the move quickly.
