What will the team be wearing? New ‘home’ strip? New ‘away’ strip (whatever that is)? Current ‘away’ strip, destined to become next seasons 3rd strip? Hawaiian shirts and flip- flops?

For those who were there or for those who watched on TV (sadly, I was unable to do either) - what did we do differently tonight that resulted in scoring THREE goals and overcoming a 2 goal deficit vs the PL Champions? Yes, I appreciate that we were playing against 10 men, but then we did vs...

He’s fourth official at the Newcastle vs Man City game tonight. As half time approached the commentator on 5 Live started laughing and said, “Lee Mason is struggling to hold the board indicating the amount of added time above his head...I think he needs to get back in the gym!” One job :facepalm:

Good points so far... Mings getting derided as an international centre back by Jermaine Jenas after getting pulled completely out of position for United's 2nd goal. Odd points so far... Alan "he's entitled to go down for that" Shearer suddenly agrees with the rest of the country that the ref...

I appreciate this should possibly be on the Covid sub forum but this isn't really about Covid as such but more looking for advice / experiences from those that have already been vaccinated. I was given the AZ vaccine at 10am today and anecdotal evidence from others I have spoken to - plus...

Alex Bruce (son of Steve) and ex-Blackburn, Birmingham City, Ipswich, Leeds, Hull, Bury defender amongst other clubs) is doing some punditry on 5 Live today. He just recounted the story of when he was offered trials at Swindon Town, with a view to getting a deal a while back. I didn't catch...

"The concrete walkway provides a covered route for visiting supporters to go between their coaches and the stadium while ensuring segregation from home fans." This isn't a post having a dig at Leeds, their team or their manager. Just an observation that this new walkway feels a bit...

LOVED the way he took his chance tonight. One touch and BANG. Emphatic finish that gave Pope no chance. First goal Pope has conceded for England too. Bodes well for the future if he can bring that clinical finishing to Albion games.

I'm thinking of the burger van at Cheltenham catching fire halfway through the game - that sort of thing. Mine is from the FA Cup Semi Final at Wembley. An hour or so before kick-off, my son (who was 7 at the time) and I were in that Costa Coffee half-way down Wembley Way. We were seated at a...

Inspired by the Alan Turing thread, who are the true British geniuses in their field throughout history? For the purposes of this thread, 'genius' is defined as "an exceptionally intelligent person or one with exceptional skill in a particular area of activity." So who qualifies, in the...

Leicester City 1-0 Manchester United (Ian Nacho 24mins)

No particular criteria - just your personal favourite. Is it something old? (Selhurst) Or something new? (Ethiad) Something borrowed? (The London Stadium) Or something blue? (The Amex, obvs) Personally, I've always like St James Park, for it's city centre location, great sense of football...

For me: West Ham and Villa Never saw them doing as well as they have, especially West Ham. Liverpool The wheels really seem to have come off; admittedly they have a make-shift side but the swagger up front and PL goals and seem to have dried up. Sheffield Utd I never expected them to repeat...

It's time to discover just where our fanbase come from (not where you live now, but where you were brought up), in the time-honoured tradition of a POLL. The options are: Brighton Somewhere else in Sussex Somewhere outside Sussex Lund, Sweden. For the record, I grew up on the Weald, just...

Round One Newcastle Points: 1 GD: 0 Fulham Points 0 GD -3 Brighton Points 3 GD +1 Good start

Well, we were spolit for choice today; not only TWO goals - but more than that, both superb in their own way. But which was the best? Dunk's bullet header Great header, direct from the corner kick and from miles out too. Superb corner to put the ball in the perfect place for Dunk to attack it...

I get the concept of xG but I don't understand who actually publishes this data. Is it one source? It is multiple sources? Is it a 14 year old kid with a laptop in Manilla who's never seen a PL game in his life, watching matches on a dodgy stream and feeding his view of how easy / difficult a...

Assume, just for a moment, that all that stuff in 1977-8 that sparked the ill-feeling and rivalry over subsequent years had never happened - who would be our rivals now, if anyone? I guess our relative geographic isolation (in football terms) means we would have looked towards Portsmouth...

Bloody freezing here in north Essex. Minus 3 now and hasn't been above -1 all day. Been like that ALL week FFS. Due to drop to -4 tonight. Swansman need not reply; yes, it's -12 in Gothenburg right now but if it's any consolatsion Swanny, it's -15 in Eskilstuna).
