These French lads are shit.

You know absolutely fuck all about how to develop young footballers though.

Did Aaron Hughes buck your lass or something?

Pop her tyres. That’ll learn her.

Never a red.

Go North East are on strike so there are no buses to catch.

It’s not a question

Pep the fraud

He clearly hasn’t spoken to Don Goodman

Future’s bright then.

I wasn’t far off.

Some elaborate Weekend at Bernie’s shit going on. He’s dead as fuck.

Based on the commentator reaction I think Isak’s dead.

So you’re saying he’s National League standard and will never amount to anything? Ok.

Don Goodman doing that thing again where he thinks of an opinion and then repeats it for 10 minutes straight. I mean, he’s not wrong but shut the fuck up eh?

It’s going to be mint when he turns in a MOTM performance.

Stones plays for City mate

Here for the start of the Paul Dummett Indian summer.

It genuinely gets on my tits.

But our piss poor xG…

No it doesn’t. It’s the behaviour of a wrong’un. Pack it in.

Just FYI betting odds is only marginally above xG in daft stats only absolute weirdos with zero life give a toss about.

Who says we’re going to continue to perform like that though? We know the level this team is capable of playing at. Seems weird to me to get wound up about a hypothetical situation where we might continue to play shit.

It’s whinging without perspective or context. No one is saying that we turned it a stellar performance on Tuesday but it was our first CL game in twenty years, away from home, and against last year’s semifinalists. Those are pretty important qualifiers. Personally I wasn’t expecting Tuesday to be representative of anything. I didn’t have any expectation about what might occur because it was a complete voyage into the unknown. I said it last season and nothing so far has dissuaded me - the past year and a half are the best it’ll get, not in terms of actual success but the feeling around the club. Expectations have shifted, our ‘level’ has changed. People are no longer going to be satisfied with a perfunctory 1-0 win over a team like Brentford. I’m not saying whether that’s right or wrong, but it is going to lead to some incredibly fucking tedious arguments on here. The price of success.

Ashley was the best thing that happened to a lot of our fans. It gave the licence to moan without looking like unreasonable dickheads.
