OCOCOL

I don’t understand how pm an nufc forum people can sneer at fellow fans watching the lads whilst on holiday but each to their own.

probably makes a decent living off canny people and won’t have to put up with the snobs who deride people who just waft to have a drink and a laugh and watch their team whilst having some time off graft. The

Anyone who wants tickets for these games will get them imho. Enjoy it if you’ve never done Europe before. We’ve got Eurostar and digs booked for psg. Trying to sort Dortmund now. Giving Milan a miss as been there before albeit v inter but want to save sone cash for the knockout rounds ?

just ask Robert

I like Shola (cards on the table here). But I think for whatever reason he’s not remembered fondly by sone fans despite goals v s*nderland, Barcelona, bayer l and some decent performances albeit not enough. But people need to remember he played for years with an injury, was a decent pro and is a local lad done well.

He looks like a smug southern wanker

We were cheated there.. I could say more but I’ll look like a flat earther. But I honestly can’t believe Isaks second onside goal doesn’t get media support

I used to like klopp now he’s a c**t i used to like our fans…

scored in a game involving Coventry and a relegation rival where the kick off is delayed by 15 minutes

From the emojis he’s already got a bairn so he will be fine. You FOBt pay the 2nd as much attention / worry / kid gloves snd just let them get on with it… Or was that just us

Habib Beye song was (I think) genuinely original, can you remind me of the Remy and Mikel Merino songs? Old she failing me here

I always think that if Man U had bought Lascelles for £25-£30 million instead of Maguire for £80 million he’d have excelled. He’s not short on confidence is quick and strong and as you say his maturity and development as a footballer was set back massively under Bruce.

Rail strikes I think will have had a bigger impact that the new ticketing arrangements. I don’t agree that it’s fairer atm either. It may work out that way longer term but sone of our most committed (measured by actually spending time and money going) are being or slowed now for not being season ticket holders snd using friends and family networks. The real yours won’t give a fuck and the club need to look at how tickets are getting on resale sites. I’m guessing yhe enemy is within.

For context I wouldn’t want to see a red hand of Ulster flag or anything else that could be construed as provocative. If we sign a Saudi superstar player then yes crack on

yeah I agree both times I’ve mentioned seemed young daft lads trying to be provocative. We’ve all been young snd daft though

My ST is in gallowgate but took the bairn via ballot. the only other time was in Leazes L7 v palace in carabao cup. Similar profile of flag waver. just didn’t sit right. Totally support inclusion and a broader fan base especially younger fans but in the palace game especially the flag waving seemed slightly antagonistic

3 young lads in family enclosure v villa

meant to reply to this

I’m probably going to word this really hamfistedly (is that a word) but here goes. I’ve seen a few younger lads at matches with Saudi flags, Iocal accents but if I’d guess south Asian heritage but not I suspect Middle Eastern. I can understand why they’d embrace some (in my opinion) fairly superficial diversity at the top given where we’ve been in the 80s and early 90s as a homogenous fan base not especially welcoming to minorities (albeit reflective of the area) but waving Saudi flags and celebrating all things KSA (id call out any supporters - those wearing headscarves etc was cringy and semi offensive even if well intentioned) but at the villa game the only lads I seen with Saudi flags seemed to celebrating the “otherness” of KSA as an anti establishment stance.

Be interesting to see how their “drum bangers” take this.

Your proposal would win by a landslide among the over 40s (sorry if I’ve prematurely aged you).however I’ve just asked my son and his mate (13 and 14) and they’ve looked at me like I’ve suggested we ground share with the mackems at the SOL

That was interesting but I wish I could have read a summary - that kid gets on my nerves with his scenty bottle accent and smugness. it will probably benefit us now but I hate the fact that they’re implementing changes to effectively remove the chances of upsets / results going against expectations. Just doesn’t feel within the spirit of competitive sport.

it’s just wankers on twitter - not representative of people I know that actually go to games home and away .. well at least until … *opens can of worms*

We’ve played the best football team in the world lads..

Their hypocrisy knows no bounds: Durham Mags - Evil Northumberland / North Tyneside Mackems = brave lads in enemy territory
