Kid Icarus

Averaging over 51k in the Championship but you could always get a ticket for the match. That's the ideal situation really, I don't think we'd out grow 60k like

Brilliant first half. Unsurprised to see the same needless whinging.

My favourite was some of them on there claiming that £12m for Trippier was a bad deal for us. I'd hate to be a Mackem on there with common sense, it must be a constant battle.

If you can point to an example of this I'm all ears like. As far I can tell it's at least always the argument for a new stadium and at best a swing and a miss (Spurs)

Couldn't care less about having a world class stadium. Atmosphere, location, tradition, and a sense of community and belonging are everything. It'll all be gone forever and too late to do anything about it if we scrap all that, tell ourselves it'll benefit the average fan, then end up like every other club that sold its soul for nothing.

Like I say though, the other guy's like that as well, he just asks the same shit with enthusiasm

Bournemouth 1-1 Leicester Chelsea 2-0 Wolves Man City 7-0 Southampton Newcastle 3-1 Brentford Brighton 1-1 Spurs Palace 1-0 Leeds West Ham 1-1 Fulham Arsenal 3-2 Liverpool Everton 0-0 Man United Forest 2-1 Villa

All very good points

I know Yorkie singles out that NUFCTV interviewer for his shit questions and they are shit, but let's be honest, loads of them are like that. The questions are often either the most basic 'do you think X will help you?' question that will be answered yes, or they're asking Howe to predict the future with hardly anything in between. I can't get away with that other NUFCTV interviewer either like, feel a bit shan for saying it, but there's something proper off and false about him imo.

Best bit about that post was skipping to the end and only reading the last sentence with no context.

I've always thought that Scandinavians have a Geordie twang when they speak English and just guessed that it was something to do with the Viking invasion without ever properly looking into it.

It doesn't need to be worse to still be true.

I can be canny pessemistic and miserable at times, but the match day threads make me feel like Patch Adams by comparison. Just relentless moaning over nowt.

The whole thing was surreal and I had a lot of conflicting emotions going on when it all happened and still do. I didn't really get teary-eyed or anything, but when I saw this it properly got to me and probably always will. I'd never really liked the song until this moment either tbh, but something about the video with it being an empty stadium and how amazing it sounds felt like a really big deal and really symbolic. It felt like I was hearing it properly for the first time ever and I still get shivers watching it now.

These things are sliding doors moments anyway. There's every chance that if he had come here in January it would have worked out. The environment you're in can make all the difference. Having said that, he was a January only signing anyway. I don't think anyone wanted him once we were safe.

Judging by their reviews, by charging people £60 after their £1 period (even though they'd cancelled as per t&cs) then refusing to give it back. It's why I stopped paying them, they seem a bit dodgy tbh. https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/theathletic.com

Football's supposed to be an escape from this sort of shit.

It was Shepherd's high watermark of backwards 'statement' signings, without question.

Hassenhutl's been on the brink for what feels like 4 years, yet always seems to hit a weird run of form.

They just signed far too many. Imagine if you're the first left back they signed, then watching them go and sign another 4 left backs or whatever it was What does that do for the togetherness of the squad when you do that in multiple positions? Absolute lunacy. Maybe we'll end up with Lodi after all. There'll be some good players available if they go down.

Forest are an incoherent mess. Can't get over the stupidity of their signings.

Maddison's the only good player out there it seems. So many players nowhere near being on it.

Ahhhhh, that's what's different.
