First goal crucial. As is the second ? Fuck man, I just hope we win.

Just noticed that I was top of our league for Week 1! Normally delighted with top 100 ?

Just watched the prematch press conference. He is so good with the media. As others have said, measured, reflective and really open. How many other managers would talk about the love they have for a player in such an open honest and natural way? Great man. Great manager.

Have a good one ?

Hardly nothing new about it.

Doesn’t come across as a likeable guy. More controversially, Darren Eales’s seemingly constant little-boy-smiley-face is starting to get on my wick ?‍♂️

I enjoyed it. As someone who no longer lives in the North East, it both reminded me, and made me proud, of home.

Stuart Pearce, who has loyalty to/positive feelings about both clubs, not only fancies us to win on Saturday, but fancies us to win the league this season. (Heard him on TalkSport).

Should find out today by 5pm. Good luck all! Would love to be there in person for the Liverpool game.

I might have to treat myself at some point. Find out today whether I’ve/many members have missed out on a ticket again.

Well there’s the media angle, should we pull off an improbable result. The nasty Premier League (TNT…) made them play on Saturday.

You’ll obviously be massive favourites for the win, but many of us are more confident than we’ve been (since before your take over) of getting something. Of course, we might have a bit more empathy with Aston Villa fans if you give us the kind of spanking we gave them! Similar scenario, playing a higher placed/rated team at a time you dare to hope you might have the beating of them. it should be one a hell of a spectacle either way.

Or to join Harvey Barnes’ Larn yersel Geordie classes.

You’re triggering PTSD in multiple oldies!

I’ll expect what I like, you sanctimonious git. Like I said people have different values. For example, some people are self-centred arseholes who think the world owes them a living, and when things don’t work out, it is always somebody else’s fault. Others have a fairer approach and a better work ethic. I know nothing about Fraser’s values beyond what I see and his behaviour can lead people to assume. He is not good enough for the job he was contracted to do. He is a drain on our funds which prevents those funds being put to better use. I think he should do one. He’d likely be happier for it in the long run.

Is that you Matt?

We’ve each got our own values and the difference isn’t critical; such as between having enough money for the rest of your life, or not having enough money for the rest of your life. It is just robbing a living where you’re not needed or wanted vs. recouping less but actually earning a living by doing what you’re good at. Personally, I think he’d find it a lot easier to look at himself in the mirror with the latter approach to his ‘career’.

They’re a bigger bunch of deviants than even Arsenal TV suggests!

A case of birds of a feather flock together? Or opposites attract? ?

At least they’ll play. And in all likelihood have more influence on games/be more involved than they would in previous leagues. I get needing to have financial security. I don’t get throwing away the opportunity to play competitive football.

Is Ryan just sitting on his fat contract? Is he injured? Disappointing, if not shameful, given how short a playing career is, that someone would just accept money for nothing and miss out on playing out his career with pride.

Tim likes this ?

I’ve boycotted Greggs on principle. Bar-stewards don’t do stotties anywhere outside the North East ?‍♂️

The lad needs a ‘cultural intervention’, or he could be a one season wonder. You can live very well in the North East—doesn’t look like he is making good choices!
