Thread | Are all eyes now on Man City?
at 12:49 10 Mar 2025
Lots of news articles popping up over the past few weeks that we are likely to hear the initial findings either in March or around Easter. So am starting to think of the most likely scenario's.
With an appeals process which is believed could take 'months' I wonder whether there is enough time for any punishments to be given this season.
Now, I know everyone's general thought is that there is no way the PL will affect that much punishment that it relegates them, but I have to disagree with this due to the precedent that it sets for everyone else. If it is only a fine or embargo, what stops Newcastle (as the richest club) then just spending ridiculous amounts in 1 or 2 windows to win some silverware, knowing a punishment is likely 3 years away minimum.
All articles I have seen have said somewhere between 60-100 points. Even 60 likely relegates them as even winning every remaining game would get them to 19 points. Either us or Leicester will finish on a minimum of 18
So, selfishly thinking about us, the hope is that any punishment and then appeals are finalised by the end of this season, and then of course we finish above Leicester at the very least.
I know it is a lot of if's but's and maybe's, but I am clinging onto every remaining hope that we still have a good chance of staying up. |

Looks like the Atlanta Utd deal is being accepted at £16m + top ups. Makes me wonder why we are not jumping on this as surely the more attractive option. Edmundson could go the other way as a sweetener and make our outlay less.
I know we have heard we have moved on to other targets, but these targets are not materialising.
11 goals this season in addition to the 16 last year. Plays in a similar formation and role.

Really hoped for a win last night and then promotion on Tuesday. Can’t make the last game due to a work trip to the US! Only game I’m going to miss this season and what a time to miss it! |

They're going to be a nightmare aren't they? Only 2 viable options to and from the game
I am guessing no chance of any extra being added |

What is everyone's unpopular football opinion.
Mine is that Rio Ferdinand was not that good of a defender, he was just lucky with who he played alongside (Terry, Vidic)
Expecting down votes galore! |

Not MOM by some distance as Davis and Humphreys were brilliant. But they will hopefully be 2 big goals for him. Great movement for the first and strikers instinct being in the right place for the second. Exactly what you need from your striker in the box. Was doing a lot of chasing down as well.
I have been somewhat critical of him in recent weeks, so last night was great to see. |

Thread | A moan about (a selection of) our 'fans'
at 08:32 31 Aug 2022
Wasn't going to post about this, but then read and saw some of the other negative fan experiences from Saturday and thought I would put in my 2p's worth...
So, thought I would try somewhere different for a pre game beer on Saturday. The pub selection was the Halberd which I though would be good as they have the outside TV's on and thought watching Man U v Southampton in the buildup would be good. What I didn't quite think about was the timing of the Norwich game.
Things were ok, then Norwich scored their customary late winner. Quite a few groans and expletives shouted at the TV, which to be honest I am fine with. It's a pub with beer flowing after all.
What came next, was 30 mins straight of 2 songs being sung about a certain former Norwich striker. Not only is this (IMO) moronic and classless, there were still some younger fans in there or people not going to the game who just don't need to hear things like that.
Yes, I am all for having a bit of banter about your rivals, but the chants are disgusting. We really are better than this (I thought) as a fanbase. With all the positivity around the club currently, certain things on Saturday really hit home and made me a little embarrassed to support the club.
I know its only a minority, plus I am sure all clubs have a certain selection of idiots that do similar. Maybe I need to be a little more wise as to where to have the pre game drink. |

Currently 3 points from the playoffs, another clean sheet and another pretty dominant performance.
We won’t win them all.
Roll on Saturday.
