Bellamy and Souness v Shearer and Gullit. Nice.

Shouldn't it be Souness & Shearer vs Gullit and Bellamy? Put them in a Table, ladders, chairs and golf club match

 

Aye but they're working together now after everything that happened while here.

Ah, the delights of Deptford/New Cross (that park used to host a cracking festival though tbf).

 

Keep meaning to pop down to see how the hell it worked in practice, but was worried it might all be a bit serious. Looking at the state of 'em, I think I'll be alright. :lol:

That 90 year-old bloke who died after being blown into a bus was an Arsenal fan who followed them home and away:

Arsenal tweeted: "Everyone at Arsenal Football Club is saddened to learn of the passing of lifelong fan Ernie Crouch. May he rest in peace."

I don't buy this tough crowd thing at all, winning a throw-in is greeted by huge cheers FFS. KK said getting NUFC fans onside is the easiest job in the world, go out there and put a shift in and that's it. Put a shift in and excite the crowd and they become the 12th and 13th man and win you games alone with their noise and passion. His words not mine! Players who cannot handle a large crowd have no business playing the game. Fair enough if a player is constantly getting dogs abuse which can happen and has happened, but at Newcastle I look back at some of the utter shit that has played for us and got away with murder so to speak.

Not sure i entirely agree on his point with Wijnaldum either. He's had some brilliant games for us but when things have turned sour or we are really struggling, he's been one of the first to into hiding and hasn't stood tall like Jenas has suggested. His game against Leicester was one of the most anonymous displays you're likely to see from a central midfielder.

 

No doubt when he is involved in the game he's got the ability to make a huge impact and he's been a revelation for us when on song.

Was similar v Bournemouth.

There were fans who booed Robert off the pitch and Viana on when we still had a good chance of finishing 4th in our last home game of the season. This in a season where Robert got 12 goals helping us into that position and into the UEFA Cup Semi-Final in the first place. We have a large section of arseholes (like all clubs) tbh.

Agree with Jenas tbh, our crowd are a fucking joke at times. A lot of them just follow what their mates are doing, believe in stereotypes about players (getting stuck in/fancy dans etc) boo ex-players by default (Milner springs to mind) and think that supporting the club is going no matter what. There's a stereotype of certain SJP goers that I have in my mind and it's really not that unfair a one imo, I've met plenty of examples in real life and online.

If you're a wideman and don't win games single handedly all the time, you're shit.

If you're a wideman and French, you're lazy.

If you're a tryhard English who is when it comes down to it shite to middling, you'll be let off.

If you're a forrin non-try hard, you're a puff.
