Is the person on as PonsaeIius or Sewelly? If it’s Sewelly it’s not that odd, if it’s PonsaeIius then it’s extremely odd as I don’t even know what that means and have never seen it aniwhere but here

Kind of like a an old family pet passing away this. Feels like he’s been here forever. Some great moments in an NUFC shirt. Wish him well.

Apart from his debut performance against West Ham I can't think of any others.

One more of the Championship has-been hanger-onners away then. Reunited with his "favourite teammate of all time" Jack Colback. Lovely.

 

In seriousness, his time here consists of some moments of genuine quality interspersed with season after season of fitness issues, untimely red cards, 1 canny performance out of every 12 or so games and direct free kicks wafted into the stands.

 

As with Ritchie, Gayle, Clark, Hayden, Darlow etc if he'd been moved on within 12-18 months of our promotion he'd probably be really fondly remembered. As it is, almost six years after our promotion I can't wait to see the back of the po-faced misery. But of course that's mainly Ashley's fault rather than Jonjo's. Good luck to him.

Few good moments for us but then I’ll think if that lethargic tracking back while teams cut through our soft gooey centre.. that was all on his watch.

 

And despite him changing his ways somewhat, he would always carry that risk of being red carded for yellowish tackles.. as refs fucking hated him apparently.

 

Eddie Howe is pretty ruthless it has to be said.. I mean, he probably just told him, “Jonjo, we’re playing football that you just don’t have the legs for, time to move on”

 

No hard feelings, just cold hard reality.
