I’m always amazed how utterly one footed so many top level players are… left or right doesn’t matter to me … that’s on the run too… our very own left winger is hugely one footed… imagine if he could use both as well as his right ? Yep, he’d be playing for Madrid or City ….. errrrr ahem lol.
I’m interested to know what the good people of NSC think are sensible (soccer) solutions to VAR massacring football as we know it… ?
I don’t think it’ll be abolished, but by God it needs fixing and fast. Last night was hilarious for us neutrals, but if I was a Wolves fan I’d be thinking we’ve...
I got scouted for Newcastle utd under 10s, but the coach decided I was too small for the age group, and thus my dreams of representing the Toon were left in ruin 😭
I was gutted to be fair… I got spotted playing in a cub scouts regional tournament… running rings round the other kids… but back...
Truth be told, today is a prime example of why I love not winning for a few games, it simply makes it all the more orgasmic when it happens.
Following the likes of City must be akin to going out with an absolute stunner, who wants it on a daily basis, but relentlessly in the same stale...
My word what’s happened to @dwayne ? I can’t fathom this player assassination… he’s literally a kid… who presumably is pretty swift and therefore a better bet as a WB/FB thsn some of our less pacey alternatives… we’re down to the bones and Roberto has clearly seen something in this 18 y/o to...
Best result of the season for me… given the circumstances - phenomenal… in spite of being knackered, the players will be living on that one for days to come.
Cracking mad game …. And I’m delighted by the pragmatism shown in the closing stages… well done Roberto.
His header today was classic Pele… hard down into the ground approx 3 yards in front of the despairing GK… goal nearly every time.
I suspect JP will be rightly proud of that.
Was just chatting to my brother about this… to be honest it’s less about wheels falling off… as clearly the squad, coaches are together etc. but tactically (at times) we’re being found out … but a large slice of that is down to rhythm, partnerships etc. all being undermined by injuries and a...
God this thread is chock full of considerably richer than yowww ‘executive’ suite dicks…
In my experience people struggling along and carrying a bit of interest related debt tend to be FAR more likeable… not sure why that is… ? maybe its about living in the real world, not one inhabited by...
I always suspected Cherry Red to be a little more prog and heavy rock loving, you know, behind the scenes… kind of like me compiling a Punk box 😂 bound to go off on a tangent… take a band like Man for example … I’d have found a way 🧐🎸🧐
Oh yes, If I’d complied it I’d have included bands like...

Good present for those who love punk…
Of which I’m not one, but I could see why this would interest some lol 🎸
I’m unsure why so many of us are treating yesterday like a dismal defeat… I seem to remember losing at home to Sheff Utd under Potter, even though they were down to 10 men for about 35 mins… unless I dreamt that, which is entirely possible… 😂
Sure it wasn’t great, and we folded for 10 key mins...
The original interview did make me chuckle, although I do think we’re starting to see some interesting parallels between Roberto and Gus… and not just in the interview style. . .
As someone who values older, simpler times… analogue era splendour, the warmth of a hearth side crackle… I tend to cling to the past, like an epitaph on a lichen covered grave… in a long forgotten church yard… at peace, at rest… at last.
Yes, I rather think I’ll remain, and my remains will lie...
Indeed, it’s about using football as a transformative medium, widening the appeal of the game, whilst simultaneously cheerleading inclusivity and diversity.
The Saudis really haven’t considered the risk rainbow flag bearers bring to their regime, culture, embedded way of life… akin to Odysseus...
Too bloody right.
It was bizarre, based I suspect on two key elements: regular first team football, or lack thereof… which as it turns out he’d have been getting, and (a sneaking suspicion) that Roberto has his favourites… ahem cough… Adam… cough etc. and didn’t want to upset the inner clique...
