    They’ve been found out. How long have some of us being saying that the LGBTQ Bebe was the worst number 9 in Europe? Or that Trent is the B&M Danny Simpson? Or that Alisson is a flapping donkey?

    Throw the no-look Jay Spearing in there and they’re mid table doggers.

    It’ll be reet though, when they get Naby Laaaad and the JCB back they’ll rip the world a new fart box.

    If, on the other hand, they were to dominate English football for, say, a decade, do you think you’d be able to sustain this level of bitterness?

    Tuchel throwing Odoi to the wolves, that always ends well for managers. <laugh>

    Absolutely. But I’m not sure winning the Championship a few times will count as dominating English football.

    You’re right, they’d need to drop down to League One for that really.

    @brb to confirm

    We had a great few years in that league. Not sure Gavin, 58, who has never left Cork would enjoy it as much.

    16 points behind Feb 20

    Thanks for the concern lads! Fulham result doesn't change us as much as all that, if we don't get enough points to stay up we don't deserve to stay up. At the beginning of the season I thought we'd be 12th-15th but we've mostly played poorly and had a silly number of injuries (as have many). I think we'll get 35-38 points, not sure if that will be enough.

    Fulham currently are in the middle of a nice run of fixtures whilst we're getting many of the tough ones. In a month it's roles reversed, today isn't the big game it's when we play WBA, Sheff Utd, Burnley, etc. Oh and last game of the season...

    Fulham v NUFC

    That was clear even back in November when the media were dropping to their knees so he could give them a load of his "tactics".

    Yep, said it repeatedly for a reason, given up now like.

    If we go down its not like anyone gives a ****, I don't even think half the fans watch games anymore.

    Get the vibe from social media the club is just dead as it can be.

    Got me thinking, how many of the current Prem clubs have I seen in the third tier of English football.

    Man City
    Wolves
    Leeds
    Southampton
    Crystal Palace
    Burnley
    Brighton
    Fulham
    Sheff Utd

    I know Aston Villa have been there, but not since I've been going.

    So counting Villa half of the Premiership have been in the third tier in my lifetime.

    You've missed us (unless you mean literally seen by you, perhaps?) ... winning the League One title in 2008 was the start of our resurgence as a club ... 8 years later we lift the Holy Grail...

    You just had to give Fosse an excuse to mention it.
