The mackems don't really care about Boro, Boro don't really care about the mackems. Deep down NUFC is the one thing that grinds their corn. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s always puzzled me about Boro- you’d think they’d be more bothered about their local rivals, Leeds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very one sided from my experience though I'll bow to your in-depth knowledge but I've always got the impression if they had to pick one out of us and the mackems it would generally be us although granted they haven't played us for a while.

Yeah you’re probably right among the vast majority, they probably do dislike us more. Be useful if Darlo or Hartlepool were higher up so they could have their own local Derby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye they finished 8th twice under Arteta before splunking 400M odd over 2 seasons and lo and behold suddenly they are challenging. Bit of perspective for the miserable twats questioning Howe right now. It took Arteta 4-5 years just to get into the CL and with a MUCH better foundation than what Howe and Nufc had 2 years ago. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26850 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Put TNT on for Madrid v inter with Fletch, mcmanaman, Rio Ferdinand and Joe cole. Flicked through the stations got the same feed for the game from setanta but just the crowd noise, no TNT duck eggs..... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26850 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 What a tremendous game this has been, atmosphere is immense as well. Late atleti goal to bring extra time and they should've got a winner, even better when you can't hear twit and twat prattling all they way through it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they were clubs with vast experience of the CL at all levels of their management? 🤔 no one, including Howe, Staveley, her manservant and Ashworth(less), at NUFC had ever recruited for or had other involvement in a champions league campaign…. 😑 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30414 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 The expansion of the tournament ironically, rather than the format itself* has created the elite players being concentrated in fewer clubs. *appreciate that’s a bit chicken and egg, but there used to be two group stages the last time we were in it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and that expansion was just “more games = more revenue”.. a bit like next season’s planned nonsense fest but just a bit less so… good luck with all that Villa Edited March 14 by PaddockLad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26850 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 TNT just putting Liverpool as their number one match tonight, Liverpool who were 5-1 up from the first leg and are at home for the second and are currently 4-0 up after 35 mins and 9-1 on aggregate.
