Checko

Haven't seen the incident, but in principle, if you dissent about being booked for dissent you should get a straight red for sheer stupidity.

Damn right. You can't be the biggest club in the world without a sociopath as a mascot. Catering's a good shout. Most calories wins!

I mean, if we're taking weather into account and are top players are still picking Manchester then surely that gives them the win? Personally though I think the only objective way to measure this is by having clubs' mascots fight each other to the death.

It depends on how we do in the cups as well though - if we beat chelsea we'll have another 2 league cup games in january (no doubt against liverpool) and if we beat the mackems the next round of the fa cup is around 27th jan. January then we could have 7 games: Liverpool (a), mackems (a), League Cup SF1, Man City (h), League Cup SF2, FA Cup 4th round, Villa (a) - that's not an easy month. Plus three more in December. Basically 7 - 10 games to the end of January, if we lose to Chelsea then we get a bit of a break later in Jan. Feb onwards I'd say is when the schedule start to get easier. Just got to get there in decent shape!

Without seeing the game and overall performance, the little bit of play he does for the second goal is absolute class, can see it at 1.35 here: https://www.nufc.co.uk/nufc-tv/highlights/fulham-h-brief-highlights-23-24/ Receives it infield, gives it quickly to longstaff under pressure, makes a quick run round, collects an awkward delected pass effortlessly, cuts inside and rides a challenge and a lovely slipped ball through. Real quality incisive play: speed, touch, movement. Love it.

Or a goalless first half!

Thought he had a solid knee slide as well. Complete package.

I know what you mean, he'd be in my first choice midfield right now, but I'm also happy to see him get rotated as he's only a young lad.

Didn't see the game but I am going to go on record as saying that I am pleased we won.

His torso deception is top notch though tbf, buys him a lot of space.

whoops triple post. bollocks.

Sweet Jesus, these fuckers have scored 16 goals in their last 4 games

TBG's got a job at the Beeb it seems.

What would your Arsenal one be? As for my positive thing about Sunderland... I think white stripes on a shirt look good.

Do we need to refer them to Prevent?

Bugger'll probably get an infection on his arse from a splinter now.

Hey, don't ruin a perfectly good pun.

Not very confident at this, feel like we're playing them at a bad time: they're in great from, we're in poor form. Trippier out, Gordon a doubt as well. My team guess (assuming Gordon out) will be: Tino Jammy L Schar Burn Longstaff Bruno Miley Miggy Big Joe Wilson May see Isak start but he looks a bit knackered & I'm guessing he'll be today's substitute. That's not a particularly creative team. Still, when we had the poor run and league cup disappointment last year we bounced back. When we had a few losses at the start of the season we bounced back. Hopefully now we've had another setback we can bounce back again for the next couple of months.

Yeah I've read .com for maybe decades, mainly for the match reports. I like the way they're written and they always seem reasonably balanced while also givin a feel for the mood of the club. What they report is reliable, they don't claim to be ITK or anything and you can just scroll down and read the news without having to open a dozen links. They tend to stick with factual reporting for the most part as well, with a little coment and no real internet hysteria, which I appreciate. I also like the transfers history, being able to go back and see which manager signed which player as well.

I love how fucking pleased with himself he is. And so he should have been!

I'm pretty sure Heron said that our owners' attitude was the same with Wor flags: the owners wanted banners to be pro-our-team, rather than anti-opponent. Not an unreasonable request.

Wonder who at our club gives the ok for their banners.

Yeah Bruno's brilliant. I hope he's in Black and White for many years to come.

So our ticket office decides whether they can sell tickets to people.

Seriously? With your username?
