Quite enjoying this season so far. Been a while since I said that (probably last under Big Sam)

Jack Ross has us playing entertaining football, plenty of youth players coming through, stadium is look refreshed. Strangely as a Sunderland fan, I've nothing to really complain about hehe

Couldn't make it today, have a few folk viewing our house here in East Herts - probably for the best!

Aye it was a long old way for a poor game, I'll be back down on boxing day for that one though, biggrin

Been on there a while, I didn't post for a few years and forgot my login, which was tied to an old work email to which I no longer have access, so that's a new account rofl

I've seen the first two. Knowledge that you went down makes it all the more riveting.

No, it wasn't. It was always about getting a crowd larger than 40,000, a target set by one of the directors.

How could we intend to break a record that's bigger than the capacity of our stadium? Perhaps you should pipe down if you don't know what you're talking about?

it was the "League One" record. Despite the fact it is still the 3rd tier of league football. Football only started in 1992 didnt it

Yeah, that's exactly what I implied. yes

I know what it is and what it was - I don't need or want any lessons from you, as you appear to be making my argument up for me and then debunking it, you abject melt, learn to read.

I suspect we actually fielded the youngest player tonight, and the average age of the teams is probably not as far apart as you might think. Hey ho, we're 4-0 up currently, but certainly no bragging rights with this game.

I understand there was much naughtiness before the game, and likely to be more after, given the 2,800 visitors and the result.

Not good.

Thankfully I was only partially correct. Apart from a few seats being ripped out anda few isolated 'incidents' outside/on Metro, it seems it wasn't too bad after all.

And just for note, the two youngest players on the pitch (one of whom scored) were Sunderland. And Sunderland's midfield general last night was still in primary school the last time Newcastle beat us. hehe

No not that far apart.

Of all the players who got on the field last night SAFC average age was 23 yrs 7 months and NUFC was 19 years 1 month.

SAFC had the youngest player in Mumba on the field (17), Hackett and Kimpioka both 18
NUFC had four players aged 18 (Walton, M Longstaff, Wilson, Toure)
