Tom 14011 Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 They are canny sad mind, I just can’t imagine wanting to sit round and listen to people talk shite whilst NUFC chants spontaneously pop up in the background. The idea these people are more knowledgeable than the average fan is absurd & one of them is tory. No thanks. Just another way of cashing in on the fans. No better than the baldy “actor”. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No better than the baldy “actor”. precisely this, although I'd be willing to bet the vacuous, pouting hair preener who offers fuck all meaningful to the conversation is a tory too. i didnt mind truefaith till hurst got his hands on it, now it's an abomination of adverts and self promotion. the shit they sell on there wouldn't look out of place amongst ashley's sports direct tat either. michael martin used to write some decent enough editorials, always with a bit of a left wing leaning. then the cunt jumps in to bed with a fat tory pig who prostitutes himself out to the daily mail at every given opportunity. shameful really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17239 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Mick Martin is easily huffed on Twitter . He said there’s been no decent fan literature written from a “lads” perspective. Whilst he’s largely right, The Football Factory is mostly a study of working class London life and is a decent read. So is a book by a scouser called Nicky Alt about Liverpool supporters’ rampage across Europe from the late 70s right up to the 2005 European cup win. Both contain bits about various punch ups but neither are specifically about hooliganism. I told Mr Martin that if that’s all he took from them he needs to read them again. He seemed to object to this quite strongly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

File it under posh boy Caulkin’s forced swearing There’s probably a bigger question in there, what is a contemporary football lad? I’d wager most of them are coked up dickheads tbh Hurst for all his crimes is just interminably dull both in his aesthetic & his character. The kind of bloke who’d get a hard on giving out disciplinarys to post grads trapped in call centres. I think there used to be things to talk about under the hell regime of Ashley but now we’ve won the battle, albeit falling on our sword ethically. Just enjoy the ride. We don’t have to listen to these dickheads. My only worry is how much weight their opinion carries and how many pies they’ve shoved their fat tory fingers in… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is but obviously he's ran out of ideas with his jetset life style now, like a once great band that descends into self parody. Still enjoy reading his stuff like, and Begbie's transformation into the blade artist was canny (if not entirely unbelievable). His description of neurosis and addicition, especially to alcohol, really resonate with me. Edited February 14, 2023 by Renton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These lot being seen by the club as speaking fir the fans. It’s obviously difficult to get the fan engagement spot on and it’s early days. But you get the feeling Hurst will have an eye on what he can get out of anything decided. The supporters trust were about as much use as a chocolate teapot when Ashley was here too. I realise it would’ve been hard to influence him but at least ask some difficult questions ffs. They can do one too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The knock on is you don’t retain knowledge and expertise in a department because it’ll have been an underpaid, overworked and under appreciate area.
