It’s easy to get defensive about these protests but they’re justified tbh.
-
To be fair education about the history has to come from the club, and for the last decade we’ve been owned by a bloke who had zero love for NUFC. It’s understandable that people’s knowledge begins and ends at what they can remember or find on YouTube.

The worst thing about the Nazis? Definitely their self entitlement.

SJH was a businessman at the end of the day. This wasn’t a charitable endeavour. He had a group of people around him who could see the commercial potential of the Premier League and he made sure we were able to ride the crest of that wave. He also made sure he was well remunerated for his work. I don’t begrudge him that because without it this club doesn’t exist as it does today. We had an owner who “never took a penny “ out of the club and it was the most miserable, soul crushing period imaginable.
-
The next few months are massive for him. He hasn’t progressed in any regard since we signed him. If he can’t elbow his way into the team between now and the end of the season and we manage to stay up then get rid.
-
The meltdown is brilliant but they might get someone not shit now, which is a concern.

Someone will have to explain the Roy Keane obsession to me like. If you’re being charitable you’d say he did ok when he was with them originally. He got them promoted and kept them up when they were absolutely flush with Celtic Tiger economy cash and had first refusal on anyone who’d spent any length of time at Old Trafford. He left when they were in the bottom three and he’d alienated the entire squad. His post-SAFC managerial career was a dumpster fire. It’s not like they haven’t had other managers who have done a damn better in subsequent years that they could fud themselves daft over. It’s a bit like us pining for Glenn Roeder. Very, very odd. I hope to fuck it happens like. It’ll be a disaster.

Lascelles was class after the OG, aside from the daft free kick. A reminder of the defender he can be.
-
We should’ve won that 4-4 too. They went to total shit in the second half.
-
I don’t think the Trust is perfect by any stretch, but there’s a not insubstantial section of our fanbase that’s populated by hypercritical dickheads who wouldn’t bother their arse to ever try and improve anything. Fuck em.
-
This shouldn’t be part of the same discussion as the other stuff around our owners. This is an individual tweeting something deliberately inflammatory and then finding out he’s not as funny and/or clever as he thought he was. Did he deserve to lose his job? That’s up for debate but had he made that joke about any other club he’d have got the same response from their fanbases. Serves him right.

6. I have concerns about what we’ve done defensively, but I think we’ve made a few really good signings too. We’re definitely in better shape now than we were one month ago.
-
6/10. Trippier and Bruno are both massive coups. I think Wood will surprise a few and turn out to be a decent signing. I don’t think we’ve solved our defence problems in anything like the way we needed to - don’t really rate Targett and don’t know enough about Burn. Reserving the right to increase this if we do anything last minute.
-
So we’re trying to sign a 19 year old kid with a one in two record in one of Europe’s top leagues who is top scorer for his club this season and people are still whinging. Love this club man.
-
Wood was better than what we already had by virtue of the fact there were no fit strikers in the squad
-
Even if Dubravka does come back into some sort of form there’s every chance he gets injured again before the end to the season. If Henderson is available it’s a no brained.
-
The Crystal Maze has got too complicated for me like.
-
If you play Our Radio Rocks backwards there’s a hidden message calling Mick Buxton a dickhead and that Roker Park smells of piss.
-
Who the fuck is he?
-
It’s the fact they think they’re stumbling across some grand conspiracy everyone else can’t see. It’s like All The President’s Men if everyone in the Washington Post’s newsroom had some sort of low level personality disorder. Let’s be frank here - the PL know what the crack is with our ownership. They stitched themselves up by being so transparently corrupt when it initially landed on their desk, and had to come up with some face saving bollocks about the Saudi state to bat back questions about piracy and BeIN. Now they just want the entire issue forgotten about.
-
They care about us more than I do.

Always playing his subordinates off against one. Ruled by fear. A terrible example IMO.
