@ToonPolls @_Happy_Clapper Sorry, ignore this! I mis read it!

@ToonPolls @_Happy_Clapper He’s played 45 games this season. He’s probably been benched less (when fully fit) than Gordon and Burn.

Lewis Hall failing to make the England World Cup squad is crazy to me. Sadly, I also think it makes him leaving much more likely. #NUFC

@FishandChipsNE but it's a great excuse to be negative, man! Don't you realise the sky always has to be falling down for the e-mags on here?

The only reason Villa won the Europa League is because they qualified for it. NUFC qualified for a more prestigious tournament. Not sure how you can look at Villa and wish it was. We’d have likely won it too if we’d been in but we weren’t. Strange mentality #nufc

@SeanStudd 1 goal in 21 league games chopra, that one? Give over man. Negativity for negativity sake, as usual.

100% agree . Osula is NOWHERE near good enough to lead the line . Or even be back up . He’s Michael Chopra mark2 . #nufc

@11coachmc @tsmith_1892 Exactly! We’ve done ok ourselves, believe it or not!

@TheMilburnStand @tsmith_1892 I mean he is a top manager but the sucking off he is getting is ott for me. Didnt fancy it, for whatever reason, and the rest is history.

Oh what could’ve been. Deeply, deeply irritating!

@11coachmc @Ambnufc9 And seen some of the best players I’ve ever seen in their relative positions in black and white. We’ve had some incredible days on the terraces home and away. Cheer up, man!

@Ambnufc9 we've gone from certain relegation to 2 cl qualifications and a cup. see how you only take negatives and I can take positives?

We've gone from European football and a top 4 finish to mid table mediocrity. We can and will go backwards.

@11coachmc @tsmith_1892 Aye. One trophy win each for the 2 managers we went for, in the same period of time. Oh what could have been, eh! 🙄

@tsmith_1892 and what if he had came and relegated us? cos you're working on what ifs, that was a possible outcome? he turned us down, the reasons given in the press will as usual not be the real reasons in reality. Just support the team and the manager and stop with the crybaby bullshit

@NE5westend @ToonPolls Micey!

@TheMilburnStand @ToonPolls A canny few…here’s one x.com/urwingraham/st…

If Palace and Arsenal win their European Finals, almost half the Premier League will have won a European trophy in the last 10 years. Jealous 😂 #NUFC

We all know someone at the match like this,people sat around me for years who I chat away to but outside of the ground don’t know them at all. Football is brilliant like that. Great tweet this,god bless this fella.I hope he was watching somewhere 🙏🏼

@NE5westend @ToonPolls Who doesn’t want it?

@ToonPolls And some of our lot don’t want it…🤯🤯🤯🤯 I give up honestly, jealous aye because it’s absolutely winnable.

@NE5westend @SupportersNufc All about opinions, be boring if we all thought the same 👍🏼

@TheMilburnStand @SupportersNufc He’s pony mate

🚨🆕 Chelsea are READY to part ways with Liam Delap this summer. Newcastle and Everton are among the clubs eyeing moves for the striker. (via : Fraser Fletcher) #NUFC #fblifestyle

@NE5westend @SupportersNufc He’s a good player Delap I think. Hasn’t worked out for him at Chelsea but that can happen. I’d like us to get him, personally.

@SupportersNufc eddie Howe signing written all over it! Fkn best not happen

@slbsn Your last thoughts were that they’d get an EFL points deduction next time they were in it and nothing else. That panned out well!

🚨Southampton's appeal prospects do not look good - some thoughts 1. It is very hard to properly assess Southampton's chances of a successful appeal because 1) there is little guidance in the EFL Regs about the acceptable grounds for Disciplinary Appeals and 2) because we have no insight as to how the Commission arrived at the sanction without the written reasons. But I will try. 2. It is likely that the sanctions already include a discount for the admission by Southampton of all charges. This means the starting point was potentially even higher - perhaps 1-2 more points or a fine as well. 3. Southampton are unlikely to have much scope for arguing that other mitigation was not taken into account or underweighted. 4. Southampton have nowhere to go on there being a sporting sanction - it is a clear case where there must be a sporting sanction of some sort so that means a minimum of points. 5. It is likely the EFL successfully argued the Play Offs are a distinct competition, meaning expulsion was the only option for those breaches. Given Swindon, this is again a challeging argument to win. 6. So that probably leaves Southampton relying on an overarching argument that, taken as a whole, the sanctions are evidently and grossly disproportionate. 7. That is not the same as a Disciplinary Appeal feeling the sanction is excessive. Should it conclude that the sanction was one open to the Commission and within the reasonable range, the Appeal is unlikely to interfere with the decision. 8. My personal view is that such draconian and far reaching sanctions do not match the sporting advantage gained. Not all cheating is the same nor does it all have the same consequence. On any basis, a rule that is not breached 73 hours before a game but is from 72 hours can't be said to be the most serious offence. Nor can spying be so serious when many clubs take no precautions to hide their training sessions. But my view is irrelevant. 9. It is, however, hard to see strong prospects for Southampton to overturn the expulsion decision.

@Bazro10 @G_Star1337 Nor me 😂 see? Me being a plank has benefits!

@G_Star1337 @TheMilburnStand I absolutely did not know this 🤣

Ramsdale, Ruddy & who’s the 3rd?

@Bazro10 I’d best click on it a few times more, can’t wait to be locked oot. It’s never worth reading 😂

@TheMilburnStand You obviously haven’t reached your limit then..

@Bazro10 Defo no paywall there like. Silly.

@Bazro10 Funny that, I just read it. Plank.

More wins than any other manager we’ve had in this league, by the way. Honestly, I despair. ‘We are the loyalist, footballer supporters…..’. Bollocks. Great article by @LukeEdwardsTele

@richardajkeys You say an awful lot, Richard. Most of it is miles off.

There was a critical week during negotiations when this almost happened in January. The extra year was a ruse to stop us talking about it. It will get paid as a thank you. I also said Maresca was the choice to succeed.
