That was Titus, the other individual may have been a mate? I’ll never forget reading the Sun’s account of what happened, they didn’t divulge the names but it went something something like… ”the player’s manager, a legend in the game, had to sit down after being informed of the incident” Think that was the first ever Friday night game on Sky at Highbury. Bramble as usual had been in decent form for a month or so but inevitably (so it seemed to me) as soon as the tv cameras appeared he fell to peices, skied a clearance and Henry buried it. I think it was an equaliser after Jenas had scored a cracker to take the lead? Imagine letting that bunch of fuckin twats loose in London on a Friday night after a game though?

I was at Villa, think Kluivert scored his first goal for us. Robson might have dropped Bellamy?.. anyway, the highlight of the day was being stuck in traffic on the way home and listening to Kelly Holmes win her second gold medal in less than a week and realising that every fucker that part of the on the M6 that day was listening to it too

The timing of Robson’s sacking is/was always going to be wrong if there wasn’t a successor lined up. That’s how you end up an uncompetitive mess for the next decade. If he’d been sacked in early June and not late August it wouldn’t have mattered if Shepherd didn’t have someone ready on July 1st to start pre season. And given Shep’s subsequent and previous appointments he’d have fuckin struggled regardless

Where were we? 5/6 bottom?

Well no, there’s still an opionated and over sensitive wanker of my aquaintance who knows I was right when I told him that sacking Robson was idiotic 20 years ago even before Shepherd shot Bambi on a bank holiday weekend. He grudgingly now admits I was indeed correct whilst simultaneously calling for Howe’s head when we’re in a comparatively much better position. Such is this, the type of cross I have to bare for the love of NUFC…

It should be perhaps pointed out that we were in the bottom 3 when Robson got sacked

Some interesting stuff from the November FAB meeting https://assets.ctfassets.net/9ec6988xevcz/3UGmqxaNTCExO2ZJ6U4BIw/4b16263798e1fd57d86cc13a5381658b/V3_Draft_Mins_from_Nov_2024_meeting_FAB_updates_25_11_24_-_FINAL.pdf

1.2 billion…we have to sell to buy and Everton and Forest are deducted points…

As you said earlier VAR can git tae fuckin Falkirk 😑

Gusto warming up…. He’s a right back?… he’s coming on for Lavia who got clotheslined by Kulu on the sly in the first half..

I think Lavia is Dave’s @The Fish wet dream @ 6 for us. He’s the second ex Southampton player I’ve first seen playing for them and couldn’t beleive how good they were, the first was Sadio Mane…

Spurs v Chelsea has been a fuckin joy to watch for 45 mins 😃

Am absolutely fuckin certain they are Although as I’ve said, introducing “wypoopi” to the board is verging on genius

That was certainly my reading of what he meant

“CRASHED”

Yeah I remember a (rare) Mike Ashley interview where he said something along the lines of “if I drop 5/10 mill on a project I expect to see pretty much immediate improvement” it was when Pardew was manager I think. Ratcliffe may well turn out to be Ashley in overalls

Has the “new Jose” took one look and given him the old 🤷🏻‍♂️

Maybe he’s gone to Russia who he was mates with but look a bit distracted nowadays so they can’t really help him out much when he decides to murder his own citizens. Mind, when I see the phrase “Syrian rebels” it sends a shudder down my spine…are these cunts back?
