If we play badly and lose (SheffU at home, all those 2019 CH matches), I often join the NSC collective venting of spleens on the day. It’s cathartic, by getting annoyance and frustration out of your system. Some deem it disloyal, but towards the end of CH’s days so many NSC’ers were fed up and...

I wonder if our PL status has had two conscious or subconscious effects on fans: a) A tick that we finally got to the PL and stayed there, taking away decades of frustration, and everyone being relieved for TB financially. A quiet satisfaction. b) Regarding the actual football, an acceptance...

Not footballing trips, but in the mid-90’s I used to buy Brighton to Edinburgh returns at £29 all in (a SuperApex ticket, limited in number, from memory you to book at least 6 weeks ahead).

Barber was clear on R5 that the club want this season completed, with the club prepared to take relegation on the chin if that came to be. Did he say instead that he wanted the enlarged PL next season, with no relegations this summer?

Ironically: Championship - the club were losing £26m to £30m a season (after removing one off promotion bonuses). PL - the club loses £22m. It turned out not to be financial Shangri-La. Players wage and agents costs rise exponentially, absorbing any gains made from broadcasting income and...

Villa and West Ham would be hilarious for me. Sorry to NSC’ers who love Villa, but I’ve never warmed to them. Spending £125m in transfer fees this season and dropping would be sweet.

Who do you think will drop with Norwich (assuming all fixtures are completed)?

.... earlier in the season. I think we’re the only one of the 92 clubs who haven’t won a league game in 2020. Not sinking like a stone, but slowly and steadily heading to join Norwich and one other. Our saving grace might be, as another poster has said, that the long break has allowed a...
