Scoreboard82 Posted January 8, 2024 Share Posted January 8, 2024 Got to admit I was a nervous wreck until our pen. Yes I know, different leagues and all that but we've seen us fail to turn up against lower league sides so often over the years and even at 2 up I'm thinking they get one back, crowd get a lift and who knows? We've been good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory this season. Suppose I'm just an NUFC pessimist but many decades have made me that way. Couldn't have went any better as it turned out. We were stronger, cleverer. Were knicking the ball from the off. We really put them in their place and showed them how far behind us they are. I'd be happy to never play them again and let this hang over them. I keep thinking I don't care as much as I once did but it was as if life depended on it on Saturday.

"We all know how to fight." Surely it’s in reference to the team? Not the fans… Whos that team they call United? Who’s that team we all adore? Well they play in B&W and they all know how to fight… We’ll support you ever more. Unless they’ve changed the words which wouldn’t surprise me changing “they” to “we” stops it from making sense ?

That's exactly how it played out for me. I only started to relax with about 5 mins to go and the penalty sealed it. If they had pulled one back at 2-0 with 15 mins to go the game might have taken a different trajectory. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew it wasn't many. I was expecting more considering they play some of the best football in Europe and could mix it with CL regulars like Milan, PSG etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 8, 2024 Share Posted January 8, 2024 (edited) What would the "head to head" be if you gave two wins to the team who was in the higher division? I'm guessing it'd still be tight but given they had a bit of a head start on us just with them being formed before we were... Like us being only 1 ahead seems a bit shit since we've been way ahead of them for 6 years now and we've not had a chance to beat them.

It’s definitely “we”. Remember it’s from a different era when pagga was unfortunately part and parcel of attending football. The greatest pity though is that we again don’t sing the whole song. The verses referencing Joe Harvey (the last manager to actually win a bloody cup, I’m not having the intertoto whatever UEFA say) and beating Spaniards by the score.

Not quite sure what that means but we've been in the topflight more despite the headstart and then you've got their 5years in the third tier where we were two divisions ahead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedro111 Posted January 8, 2024 Share Posted January 8, 2024 Listen, I am no soopa fan or anything. Far from it. I've been following the team since the mid 90's, had a season ticket for nearly 15 years. Been to maybe 30 away games before I gave up when Rafa left as I could take no more. So I am speaking from a base of perhaps being a slightly more than average fan. One thing I will say is that I don't need to be asked twice to sing my heart out home or away. On saturday I watched the match in the Black Garter (don't ask! ) with six mates. Most of them better fans than me. In years gone by at least half of them would have been in that away end. But this year they're not, they are in the Black Garter. I know we still have loads of hardcore in the away end so don't get me wrong but it was immediately noticeable right from the off when the camera pans our away end, maybe it's me but a lot of these people don't look like our away fans. Standing there like mute lemmings, gently applauding. The goals go in and some are just stood there. I don't know about you but if I was at Sunderland Away and we scored I'd be expecting at least a minor injury of some sort in the celebrations. Anyhow, my voice was gone by half time in the pub. It was like Wembley revisited. Six passionate blokes giving their support in the pub. We are just six daft lads but it's clear that there are many more (better fans than us) who can't get in now. We have long had a reputation for having a great away support and it pains me so much to see it slowly becoming watered down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How he gets a ticket for games like this I’m not entirely sure mind, but probably best not open that can of worms… He’s on the train quite regularly from Morpeth for home games and I’ve seen him a couple of times when I bought tickets in the Platinum Club. Saw him at Leeds too when Shelvey scored. Suspect he’ll have the loyalty points anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although a PL referee owning a ST for a PL club probably isn’t the best optics, even if he can’t do our matches ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
