I commented on it saying it was common knowledge that the club wasn't founded then and used to be known as 1882 but was probably 1881. I also stated that it was just my hunch but the first I and others heard about the 1892 foundation was very coincidentally in 1992 when a skint NUFC were making a thing of it, maybe trying to punt centenary guff and using it as an excuse for our pre-season tournament featuring SBRs Sporting and Boro. Apparently what I said wasn't quite accurate? Anyway I replied that I've never taken the 1892 date seriously, NUFC memorabilia had 1882 on it and I even found an old NUFC programme with 'founded in 1882" on the club's details despite him saying the club hadn't acknowledged any date which I said was basically bollocks. The most amusing thing about this pointless correspondence was other people blowing smoke up his arse, thanking him for getting the truth out there and saying they had no idea about it, (you don't say!!) and generally praising his detective work. Fucking hell, I felt I was in some parallel NUFC mongaverse. Which engagement farming cunt was this then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 36669 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Eddie is going to have to massively earn his corn for the final, assuming there's no appeal win the idea of Barnes starting horrifies me on the wembley pitch trying to get up and down the flank to attack then defend v Liverpool. Hall being a doubt just intensifies this. Sometimes you can luck into a formation through lack of options and I think this is where we could be at now. You couldn't make it up with first Pope now Gordon getting straight reds just before two finals, we're fucking cursed as a club, man. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 50042 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Let's have a roll call of all the divs that were playing armchair Commercial Directors last month, and insisting that Silverstone didn't have a clue. Come on lads, don't be shy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.e. save money by hardly employing anyone on the commercial side of things. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe you can just tell us again how Souness was the right appointment for the club and he should be given time [/Leazemag]. 3 hours ago, ewerk said: Aye, securing that £29m in sponsorship from other PIF businesses must've been a real struggle. Isn't this what the discussion was all along anyway, that the club should be tapping into more naming/product sponsors? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
