There’s always been that disconnect - a sizeable portion of the regular travellers who hold everyone else in contempt, but shit a brick it something hits them. When I was a H&A regular, I’d hear plenty of voices bore on about that shite on away coaches all the time. The moment you care about being a ‘better fan’ than someone else is the moment you should find a different fucking hobby.

Any chance of something less cryptic?

He’s a clueless cunt if that’s the case - Arsenal is Norf Landan, they can afford £1,000 STs etc. If he doesn’t understand his market he’s hardly a business guru edit: He’s also not pulling up any fences at the moment commercially - and ticket sales don’t constitute commercial revenues in football finance; they’re ‘match day revenue’.

£74 for a poxy friendly in the poorest area of GB, where you get put into a raffle to see what you get to pay. It’s not ‘fickle’ at all. ‘Toondawg’ is talking absolute shite. So full of shite that he/she makes Burnsie look like the voice of common sense.

Fucking hell, when does the proper football start? It can’t come soon enough.

We’ve got plenty of wingers. We don’t have plenty of PL-capable centre forwards. His age doesn’t matter - getting rid of Wilson now would create an unnecessary headache.

Of course the KSA league is the priority. It’s their money. I don’t see where the suffering comes in. I wasn’t any less entertained when we were finishing high up in a mediocre English top flight in the mid 90s.

Let’s be honest, South America has the history, the clubs, and often the players yet almost no bugger in Europe has ever given a shite about S American football other than at a World Cup or when a player from that continent signs for your club. The same disinterest applies many times over for plastic leagues with loads of money chucked at them. The ‘product’ isn’t why the average European punter watches football. I think it would be great to see Asia develop competitive leagues and clubs - but I don’t think throwing unsustainable amounts at likely uninterested players is the way to do it. The £1bn deal for Mbappe would make an incredible difference if invested in KSA football academies etc. But they aren’t actually interested in that.

Love owt like this. Proper greedy bastard old school no.9 crack. Feels like a Supermac quote

He’s my favourite post-Shearer no.9. Shame Cisse was Pardewed though. Also, it’s late for the silly season if the rumour mill starts about us selling him to Spurs.

I didn’t even get onto my Toblerone addiction

If the things I did at his age were splashed all over the media, it would reveal I often drank too much and occasionally even took drugs. I definitely didn’t do anything like what that fucker is alleged to have done - and the evidence that he did is pretty substantial

He always came across as a top gadgie

Sorry mate, I don’t - I wish I had. Hoyed out all my VHSs about 20 years ago - worst part is that I must’ve had pretty much all the NUFC match broadcasts from the early- to late-90s. Happily, it looks like ianbeany might be able to help though. Also, some of what I was referring to has been posted above - I hadn’t seen that clip in years. What a wanker Bruce is.

The solution to managers and staff abusing the match officials was always obvious to me - dock their club a point for every incident. They wouldn’t even give them an evil glance if that was implemented.

He’s a completely unlikeable human being. Says everything you ever need to know about PFMs that they think he’s a saint.

We were heavily linked with forward players all summer in fairness - it was only when Ekitike went to PSG that we went for Isak

The Fraser cup final was nothing short of a disgrace. No-one could argue that Ryan Fraser was going to sell copy, yet doing that could seriously harm our preparations. Moon landing denying wanker.

You know, I’ve always hated that stuff but I’m increasingly incapable of sifting the actual stuff from the parody. Mainly because the real stuff is becoming so convoluted that it’s genuinely funny. I still hate it, though.

You’d be handing over his coaching to likely lesser coaches. Also, he’ll definitely get a lot of mins for NUFC this season.

Just think of how much will be spent next summer lads and lasses, once that pesky 21-22 season drops off the three-year FFP accounts

Just think though, without the CL Tonali is unlikely to sign - both for what we can offer and what FFP allows

Woodgate is a smoggie who said that after he left us.
