Fabio Silva playing for them is good news too, lad is absolutely garbage.

Got a feeling we’ll win tonight. Based on nothing other than the one beer I’ve had.

3-1.

Wood, ASM and Fraser with a goal each.

Have you had an audience with Amanda and Mehrdad?

 

I'm not passing comment on the legitimacy of what's discussed or even the power that wields - both are negligible. The point is he has an opportunity to speak to the owners. Whether he uses that time to suggest a new striker or what sandwiches they offer in the platinum club it's still an opportunity the lion share of the fanbase (us included) will never get.

 

Things like NUST run on their legitimacy. The second it starts to mirror that shite part of politics the more folk will turn off.

 

Not sure what your point is… I couldn’t really care less about “getting an audience with Amanda or Mehrdad”.

If I was involved in NUST, I still wouldn’t care about that. That’s not what it’s about. It’s about achieving something for the fans and the local community.

Your post echos what Alex says himself, “ooh look at me, look at me I’ve met Amanda”. Don’t care mate - can you crack on and spend some time doing something productive like distributing that money to local charities?

Although a Tory tosser like him, using his self-appointed role at NUST to enhance his own business interests, why would he care about helping others?

personally think a defender who has spent the majority of his career at championship level is very over hyped . He’s steady- that’s about it and better on the ball than lascelles

 

asm puts himself out there , tries things then gets put down for them not coming off some times. People would prefer a team of runners or obertan I’m sure 

This is such a load of bollocks like  

People don’t get on his back because every now and again one of his tricks doesn’t come off.

People get frustrated when he attempts to take on 3 players in his own half, despite a pass available, and then loses the ball and we concede or are under pressure.

As everyone acknowledges, he has talent. But he’d be a far better player if he knew when to release the ball and when to try one of his majestic runs.

Recognising his limitations doesn’t equal wanting Obertan.

It's wonderful and I encourage it. 

 

I also can see why people questioned Alex's motives. The fact he stepped down and then was reinstated without a vote amid talk of access to the owners etc doesn't enhance the idea of it being a democratic group. I get it, many would do the same when there's a chance to such unfiltered access, but it looks poor. 

Unfiltered access though, let’s be realistic  Alex thinks he’ll be sat in the Directors Box every game.

Even the most engaged owner will limit it to a quarterly meeting about what colour to paint the bogs.

Fan engagement is fine, but the majority of the issues fans raise are a load of bollocks - you only need to look at the forum minutes of most clubs across the country to see that. 

NUST will at best have such limited impact because of how badly they are run. The fact they’ve still not sorted out the donations for the pledge scheme is shambolic. Couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery.

“Today, all of Alex’s dreams came true…

… he also let Greg and other minions from NUST go with him to carry his bags.”

 I bet less than half a per cent of all people on here would advocate starting Ritchie. 

You sure? There are some absolute lunatics on here.

Ritchie.......  

Almost certainly a wind up.

What a pair of fucking twats.

 

The worst thing about it is one of those horrendous outfits probably costs more than my house  

Here’s a stat that may surprise you. Bodo/Glimt are the first team with a forward slash in their name to reach a European quarter final.

Bodø/Glimt  

Results like that their manager should be getting the Man Utd job. He’s more than qualified for it now.

What a fucking idiot

West Ham fan ✅ 

Idiot ✅ 

They go hand in hand.

BT Sport’s co-commentator trying to claim Bruno was a Lyon academy product  The Brazilian player who signed for them two years ago.

Mad that Antonio only has 1 goal in his last 15 games. Not so mad on that viewing but considering how well West Ham are doing, it’s strange.

Just now, Yorkie said:

Leicester really get away with one. Should've been a pen to PSV.

The fuck is there no VAR for? Do they just make it up as they go along these days?  

Mad how anyone thinks that’s even a foul  He literally collapses himself to the floor after taking another step after Cresswell has let go of him.

Referee has been desperate to give anything since it kicked off, brain dead from Cresswell.

Still hate shite like that, a touch on the arm should never cause someone’s legs to collapse. It’s cheating. If we have to deal with VAR it should be to overturn stuff like that and book Dembele.

Only way a pull should be given is if it’s exactly that, a pull where you can see momentum has been lost.

West Ham’s Ameobi looking 10ft next to Joe Cole.

The £8m fine they get for all of that will be riveting.

Will be class when he’s sold to Bournemouth for £30m in three years.

Would we take Zaha?

 

I'm not sure he would want to join mind. And we would likely only match his wages.

I’d take anyone like that, because we need to think of a squad rather than our first 11. Our squad is atrocious.

Zaha is better than Matt Ritchie or Jacob Murphy, for example.

We unfortunately can’t buy 18 players in the summer, but it’s at the stage where pretty much anyone is an improvement on what we’ve got.

See they're trying to make out we have not played at the new Wembley because premier league matches don't count 

I bet they think we’re all seething about this too. None of us could possibly contain our anger that the mackems have played there and we haven’t.

Like the 6 in a row, I doubt I’ll ever recover from it. It takes over my life every day.

Yes, because at the bottom of the table things can change so quickly, one win can make a huge difference. Had Everton held on to the win or draw last night I would be very confident of us surviving. Last week has gone, it's the current circumstance that matters.

 

If we win tomorrow I'll be back to being very confident of us staying up.

Everton had one win a few weeks ago against us but decided to follow that up with a comprehensive 4-0 bumming by Palace, a defeat at West Ham and last night’s shit show.

One win isn’t the problem for the teams at the bottom, they need three or four consecutive wins to catch us and that’s never happening.

For every win they get, they’ll have two or three defeats.

They've gone full NUFC 2008-2009.

Thinking a manager change will save them (didn't we have 4 including caretakers that season), with fans thinking they're too good to go down, and big name players playing at the minimum thinking they're too good to go down.

 

Think they'll stay up, but it looks so like our 08/09 its almost comical

Dele Alli to provide their Damien Duff moment on the final day would be delicious.

To be honest Grand Old Team absolutely despise all their players apart from the molerat Anthony Gordon, their forum is a great place to spend some time when you need a pick-me-up

He’s absolutely shite too. Fawning over him simply because he’s “a local lad”.
