I need to have that. A need as mighty as my quest for a Black Adidas sports bag when I was 11.

We wouldn’t want that beard fucking up our beautiful array of lovely boys.

Oh dear, what a shame, never mind.

Love that! It, in part, takes a line from Dead Boys (what a song and relevant to all our ‘brothers‘ elsewhere in the North East, and elsewhere) ‘That’s our culture’ and turns it into a video short. Love it when Alex calls over Tino—could be a working men’s club near you or me at any time in the last century.

A childhood Sunday afternoon classic for those of a certain age… The NUFC media team should do a mock-up with Alex as John Mills/Capt. Anson.

Really happy for the lad. No doubt a big wrench (and slap in the face) being pulled away from boyhood club, rewarded with being relied upon and putting in a magnificent season, also rewarded with a much improved contract no doubt, then topped off with an international European trophy. What a year!

I was beaten up (ish) twice by ‘grown men’, home and away when a kid in the 80s and pretty much minding my own business. Always had a dislike for the club since.

Well done Tino lad! Great to have had two players involved in winning this in successive competitions. Happy for Elliot A too.

Palmer is absolutely top notch, in my book. I’d be delighted though if you were right.

Chelsea will be a real force next year. James back to his best, Caicedo is incredible, Palmer pretty much best at what he does and better better, add in Gittens and Pedro (Delap option), plus the other feckers they have. Grim.

If you look at the impact of Howe in that first season, I doubt there has ever been a more profound improvement made on a team second half of season (would have qualified for Champions League on the points per game for last 19 games; certainty for relegation challenging lowest ever points tally on ppg fir first 19 games). That impact, that remarkable improvement (with mainly the same squad) is possibly a greater achievement of his (and the wider club) leadership than the two CL qualifications or League Cup win.

Alanis Morissette?

He’s a Mad Lads Fan; great at getting through crowds.

😂 that’s just what this Summer needs another ‘How old is he really meme!” (Mbemba flashbacks!)

May seem daft, but having an array of top quality players competing for two (or on occasion three) CB positions may be easier to manage if you accept that one or two are going to miss a few games (hopefully not all at once and for long periods). It may always be better than having a couple of indestructible cart horses as back-ups.

We’ll get them too. Think there is a definite, and sensible, plan of getting good, potentially great, players if and when we can.

Maybe. I mean I know it’s Cat(t)s for you, like. But Keegan and Clark dream team for me.

I’d be delighted with both 🤷‍♂️

Quite liking the unpaid ambassador advocate role he does anyway.

Ah man, Kaka man! I’ve done it again. Watch the highlights on someone tenuously linked and now feel like we absolutely have to get him. Quick, strong, tenacious, good feet, athletic/fit, can use his swinger/left. He’d be a great option for us. He also looked the same (if not better) and completely unfazed in the Euros.

Gordon and Elanga are off to Saudi accompanied by a hen party from the Amsterdam Temperance Society. I think 🤷‍♂️

It’s a slippery slope, man! (Welcome back)

Think this was the bleach-blonde really proactive wide player (right footed, think he played on right but normally plays on left side) who was one of my personal ‘who could we sign’ stand outs from Euros. Seems so long ago!

Just took much longer to get the ball forward. Batty was brilliant at what he did, however a consequence of that was me often sitting thinking stuff like: ‘have they (opposition) got all their players back behind the ball? Nope not quite yet, any second now, ok now he releases it.’ Felt like what we gained in solidity we lost in rapid attacks.
