Just seen one of them blaming this on Trippier for tweeting from the Sam Fender gig.

Fucking thick cunt, what an absolute whopper.

 

There’s a small minority of idiots following every team, shouldn’t be a surprise, but it’s still infuriating when they do something like that.

 

Could we organise to replace the flowers and get the statue cleaned, at least?

Not without it being called sportswashing we couldn't.

I see the organiser of their flag display is insinuating that WF isn't entirely fan-funded.

 

Probably an angle for them to use to claim that ours is 'cringey' and theirs isn't.

 

 

 

It'll be taken as gospel by the morning.

I can't see Mitro being any different in the Prem this time than he was last time tbh. As seen before, it's one thing scoring week in, week out in the Championship but another thing entirely in the Prem. I suspect there might be an initial push but it'll probably fizzle as the season gets underway.

When he starts to struggle the discipline issues will inevitably return too.

He’s still got the magic.

 

Can't wait to hear what he says they "wasn't" there.

That is such a misunderstanding of how odds work that I can't rationalise a response, but we'll leave it there.

That is such a misunderstanding of how bookmakers work...... 

They've enticed you to bet on something that won't happen by setting the odds at a level which captures your interest. You're exactly the sort of punter they are looking for. 

Feel free of course to let me know how much you win.

I'm very aware they're almost certainly not. But it's not "1 time in 250" unlikely, therefore is a good bet.

It's a losing bet, so it's a bad bet. 

Southampton aren't getting relegated lads.

Would all depend on my personal situation tbh mate. 

Think I probably speak for a few on here when I say I hope you'll give it some serious thought.

Took me a minute to spot that

Just now, LFEE said:

I think you and Thomas would’ve made a great team ??‍♂️ 

Would you consider going back if some currently there moved on @Heron?

I think you could. 

Just now, Heron said:

Haha wouldn't have wanted to be, I don't think. I think Thomas would be perfect for the role though

So long as the rest go.

Slightly surprised Alex would chair again. Fair enough if he steps forward and no opposition. If so he needs to be grilled regarding his u-turn. 
 

Also is there a limit to how many times someone can be re-elected? If not there should be to avoid cliques forming.

Have you not been paying attention since the new owners came in?

The point about an online presence/popularity contest is very fair imo. I only got on because people know me from the match because I stand, shout and sing and have previously protested, etc. In doing so, I've been a familiar face. I ended up letting people down in the end because I was perhaps, not what the trust needed. Or was what they needed but needed to bide my time more...

 

They didn't want to use my best asset and didn't appreciate my ideas, they didn't have the same fundamentals or priorities and I felt entriely alienated. Thus decided I wasn't going to waste my time. 

You didn't let anyone down at all. Absolute nonsense that. 

10 minutes ago, Heron said:

With the fan led review they absolutely are relevant. That's why it's paramount they reconnect and re-engage for when that motion comes into place and increased engagement from clubs is a larger pre-requisite

No doubt they should be more relevant, but with the current set up they really aren't. 

5 minutes ago, Heron said:

Someone like Thomas Concannon. 

Definitely. Problem is for most i would think the Trust simply aren't relevant any more, certainly after the last few years. 

Will keep it in this thread, but I see they are claiming our women's team have been sportswashed. Literally their answer to everything Newcastle related now.

We should create a new thread for the U15's etc. U12's on that basis- they are also playing for the 'club'. 

 

People who force interest of Women's football onto other people are the worst of the worst in the football community as far as I'm concerned.

 

Mass majority couldn't give a fuck - unpopular opinion to say, but nobody gives a rats ass about Women's football - it's shit. Standards shit. People who watch football, enjoy football;  but I don't think you can like both...

 

People who watch Women's sports watch the  2nd Court at Wimbledon and know by name who the up and coming child Chinese gymnasts are. 

 

Likely worded this wrong, but still I know many will actually read this and understand - I wish I never heard the term 'Women's Football' ever again. I'm not forced constant updates about Polo, Basketball or Badminton. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

22,000 people gave a fuck today.

No surprise to see him against the post there.

He was about to step down but Alex Hurst beat him to it. Then Heron and one other left overnight so he delayed announcing his intention to stand down. Alex Hurst then returned to help Greg iirc. Wouldn’t be surprised if this is Greg’s last term.

Why did those two decide to leave though? 

2 minutes ago, Mattoon said:

I'm still all in on Everton, probably just wishful thinking, but leave me to dream. Literally nothing to like about them whatsoever.

Even if they do stay up this year, there's absolutely nothing to suggest they'll be able to solve their problems over the summer.

Doubt anything dodgy is happening like. Aren’t Barton & Caulkin looking after it or something?

Nah there won't be anything dodgy. That shouldnt be suggested. The charity stuff has taken way too long though.

Just out of interest does anyone know the total amount they took in on the back of their mad idea of buying a tiny proportion of the club ? 

£210k

Aye, Greg is sound as fuck. He’ll be the first to admit the Trust have made mistakes but I have no doubt whatsoever he’s done absolutely everything with the best intentions.

He might well be "sound as fuck" but the Trust has been absolutely terrible under his watch. Some of my mates are sound as fuck, no chance I'd ever want them in charge of anything. 

I'll look forward to him being the "first to admit that" though, after all we've only been waiting six and a half months so far for the detailed explanation which he suggested was needed and he promised as to why Alex was coming back on board.
