Was talking to a young'un, (28-ish) and he mentioned the 'sir John hall' stand. I half jokingly bollocked him for saying it, (he's a sound lad) and told him Hall was taking the piss naming the Leazes after himself rather than a club legend if it had to be changed, and that it always should be called the leazes. The lad had never heard of Hall at all and never given the name a second thought, never mind wondering if he was an ex-player or anything. I also had a bit craic a while ago with my pals son, (again, a lovely kid, early twenties, no mug etc) and talking about David Kelly was surprised to see him look blankly. He hadnt a fucking clue who he was. Not sure if it's me but I can't believe the lack of basic club knowledge from some of the younger support. I know I'm probably sounding like an old cunt but without 24hr sky stats/internet etc most of my peers knew the ins and outs of a fart when it came to NUFC and that was when we were also fucking shite. Anyway, carry on.

I'm very similar to this statement, tbh. Honestly, an old workmate described him as 'Son of Whitehurst' which was a bit unfair as Mitro is a better finisher than Billy was but is soft as fucking clarts in comparison. Both equally as mobile.

Aye.

I wonder who the seven people were who voted leave?

That was pretty depressing even for a random team playing in a LC tie. Aarons was the only one who actually looked like he had a bit of quality and even then, he's a greedy bastard at times. Hanley was Div 4 standard on that showing, the kids tried but are painfully never going to be anywhere near PL standard, Murphy was a big disappointment, Mitrovic was Mitrovic and Fish needs to get to specsavers if he thinks this kid is anything but an utter pedestrian. We're in massive trouble if we don't get a striker in because joselu didn't look the part in an all be it, brief appearance and I'm not convinced Gayle will play over half a season and score a a load. I normally don't take too much from cup games, win, lose or draw, but a few fringe players showed even less talent than I had them down for. Lazaar and Hanley being stand out shit, Gamez, finished, Darlow? No thanks. This squad cannot handle injuries/suspensions, big time.

I thought he was poor, tbh.

When Dani Behr wasn't available. PL and Alex beating me to it, a bit like Gazza beat Sir les's......

Going with my daughters to this. Oldest doesn't give a toss about football so she'll be in good company these days at SJP. Youngest liked NUFC and football but isn't as arsed as she was although she'll still enjoys the odd game. You couldn't seriously have your kids support another club, (especially a fellow British one), fuck that. You suffer, so do they. Anyway, 'character building' etc.

Parky, just use the George Formby grill, man. The toasties always turn out nice again.

Fuck me, half decent start, home to Leeds and look at the empty seats. I thought they'd have a good crowd today, mind.

87? "Higher!" 93? "Lower!" 89? RIP, Brucie and his bonus.

Two seconds while I have a look in the catalogue.....

By Wolfy's definition I've been a plastic fan in the past and may be again. If it was anyone other than Wolfy I'd get a bit miffed and put him right but it's Wolfy so fuck that. Carry on.

I don't think you're that 'wide of the mark' tbh.

Seen one of those today and had a little smile.

He plainly does care or he wouldn't have the odd PR show with his mate, David Craig telling the general public that it's not his fault.

So, the Scabs at home, eh? Think I'll keep up to date with this tie in this 'official' thread rather than any other so-called Forest cup tie threads.

I've seen a few 'Stoke fans seem to think he's a canny player' comments then remember seeing quite a few tweets from some of our support to Leeds fans saying Anita was a great signing/good player so err, let's wait and see, eh?

If he blows this second chance I'll probably chuck it again at the end of the season and not go back until the club is liberated from his ownership. Personally couldn't give a fuck about any group whether I agree with them or not, (the exception being the supporters trust because ultimately, the goal should be some sort of supporter involvement in his/her own football club, but that's a different subject). If anyone harbours any kind of hope he's 'learned from his mistakes' and other various excuses then I've got some miracle half bricks lying round my back garden, touch them three times and you grow a 12" cock and get a postal order worth £9,545 immediately shipped out to your address within 3-5 working days. You can have the lot on collection for £300.

Mind, there are a few out there that still come out with 'I think he's realised his mistakes' type of bollocks. Real life people who you assume have jobs and all that. (Probably managers who work in offices). /manufacturingbias

Just when I thought I was out, Rafa pulled me back in. (Insert Silvio gif here) He fucks up again, (he will), I'll not renew. Managed a few seasons without going and will manage again.

I read this bit as if it was being sung in the style of 'fiddler on the roof'. Apologias.

Knocking bet, Huddersfield.

Chelsea's CB's looking fucking woeful, (Cahill sent off early on), Luiz will probably get sent off they way he's going on, Brazil v Germany performance.
