Agree. Looks easy to save on a slowed down replay but the reality is it was a great header.

You’re right, I think. Although I assume the O&D test would be a formality in the event that we won arbitration.

Packed my ticket in when Rafa left, won’t be attending another game until Ashley has gone.

Antonio coming back now is great for West Ham. I fancy them to win all of their remaining games. Will certainly make Leicester/Chelsea nervous.

There seems to be an article about allowing Fofana to have a drink and snack every game. I mean yeah, that’s great, but do we need to have a new article every match about it?

Of course not and they knew they wouldn’t be punished - which is why they tried it in the first place.

Bend us over and shove a blue dildo up our arse. If they turn up with anything more than 15% effort, they’ll cruise to a win. Annoying because like Arsenal, we could easily get something against them at the moment (if we had a proper manager).

“What is there to protest about?” Fucking hell.

I was involved in them. I’ve been involved in most of them, apart from the Cardiff game as I was on holiday. As I’ve repeated many times, it’d be best managed by the Trust because they have the resources to organise a successful one.

As I said earlier, the Trust would only need to encourage 10% of their members to attend for a successful protest. That’s even before you consider how many others a professional and well organised event could attract. I also think the fanbase have moved on significantly since previous protests. Rafa leaving, the Saudi takeover and Bruceball have broken a lot of camel’s backs.

Well that’s exactly my point - our Trust should start being more reflective of the present day and their membership rather than serving their own interests. Is Greg still a ST holder like Alex? That’ll be the biggest pinchpoint. None of them want to do anything constructive that’ll see them banned.

It was literally organised by their supporter’s Trust.

I didn’t say it needed those things at all. What I was pointing out was NUST has great resources (16,000+ members, a load of money in the bank and links to local media and NUFC legends) to make something of it. An organised protest using those resources will obviously be much more effective than 5 blokes on Twitter trying to do it on their own, as you’ve suggested.

I don’t disagree. I was just explaining the Trust with their membership and resources could make it bigger and better than anything seen before - which would encourage people to show up.

It infuriates me more that I think about it. They have a great platform to launch something from, literally have most of the NE sports media available to support them. What do they do with it? Launch a fucking ridiculous pipedream which will do absolutely fuck all but satisfies the board’s desires to stroke their own egos. How fucking easy would it have been to organise a peaceful protest outside SJP? They have 16,000+ members ffs. They’d only need 10% of them to turn up to make it worthwhile. Huge amount of money sitting in a bank account doing fuck all. Imagine the banners, the leaflets, the costumes etc that could have been organised? They don’t represent their membership at all. Their members have told them time and time again what they want. They don’t fucking listen and waste opportunity after opportunity to get something done.

I mean they literally built most of their membership on the back of false promises regarding protests when Rafa left. They can’t protest though, that’ll affect Alex’s chances of getting to sit in a posh box at a match. Why worry about the current state of affairs? What has happened in the last couple of years to get upset about? It’s much better to build a friendship with some chap in the fan engagement team who has no authority to do anything. Also great to buy 1% of the club in 6 years to do absolutely nothing with. Pissing in the wind that project, when we’ve been screaming for action for years.

West Brom and West Ham both look great odds today. I’ve got them in a double as well as a bet builder: Both to win, both to get 4+ corners and a yellow card in each match = 10.6/1

Just don’t punch any horses ffs.

Barca v Atletico on Saturday should be mint.

Wonder who will be the Bruce of this era? 30 years time, a dinosaur Frank Lampard with a 24% win percentage in his career is managing Arsenal to 17th.

VAR being absolute dogshit, shocker.

Souness in absolutely hyperbole. Sky absolutely desperate for the pundits do react in the same was as him too.

When have I ever called you a thick cunt? And you’ve completely missed my point, but okay. Man Utd don’t have many protest groups, but they also don’t have any ‘trusts’ representing their paying fans who actively work against action to force change. Good job the Trust are building such a good relationship with the club to get the Leazer’s bogs and Alex’s reputation sorted though.

Neville and Keane supporting the fans and almost encouraging further protests/demonstrations in a calm and measured way. We have Shearer telling us how great Bruce is and the Trust telling us it’s impossible to protest (but pay us please).

When has that ever happened due to a fan protest? Show me one example.
