“You’re never make the station”. “Referee, referee, you’re old lady is a whore”. “Hit em on the ‘ead with a baseball bat”. The NS could go retro.

We can’t have it both ways. Slagging off the home crowds on all our travels, as dead. Whilst expecting a caldron at the Amex to drive Duffy and Dunk on to making an instinctive attacking pass.

…. and the audible groans at player failings. Plus falling attendances once no longer a winning machine. Not always salad days.

Etihad, OT, Anfield (day games), Stamford Bridge, St Mary’s, Emirates, SJP …. to name just a few …. all notoriously quiet home crowds. Especially when not winning by a few goals. NSC’ers quick to mock their lack of home atmosphere, when we travel to those stadia. It’s the norm, in the...

Where do you sit? From the NS I had a great view of Lamptey getting in circa three stunning crosses, beating men for fun as the first half wore on. Wasted by no or half asleep team-mates. Spot on about BW, many of us said that was why Arsenal paid £50m and we’d miss it. Beckenbauer-esque...

Howe with 9 men behind the ball, time wasting and with dozens of slow set pieces lofted into the box ….. all made it a poor spectacle. I kept getting out of my seat for Lamptey, but that was about it. Albion, lateral everything, few taking responsibility in the final third. A million miles...
