    Indeed it will. And honestly I hope it does and the power shifts.

    It’s been manu Chelsea and dare I say Man City yet for to long.

    I have no issues with Liverpool as I think they have been more organic.

    Spurs are like amnesty international.

    We all harboured doubts, daily or weekly…. it wasn’t ‘who’ posted that was important; it was that flip you just mentioned GG; life is beautiful now…. and I didn’t believe it would be, but it is.

    it happened

    I dipped into the Sunderland board earlier; **** ME they’re sore!

    Exactly. And I never say we deserve it but man have we put up with some ****e in the last 14 years.

    So we do deserve a bit of luck now and then. I always said things like this don’t happen to us.

    The actual reality is I think NUFC fans are actually cut from a different piece of cloth. Our weeks are moulded by the game prior. I have live in perpetual depression for so long. Hoping it would change.

    To get them Keegan moments back. Them cold wet but shiny bright light nights on a wed night to hear that CL music.

    We never won anything and that is even better. It means we are grounded. We expect nothing. We dream.

    And…. We have that back again.

    You know the amnesty **** and all the newly found human rights brigade.

    Do you know what it is……

    Historionics!

    Gorgeous words, and sums up stuff that’s swirling around my head and was struggling to anchor itself to words and sentences

    I think it's one of very few cities where the football club is at the heart of the city and community. Even yesterday in The Forth you couldn't help overhear about a detailed conversation about the Mike Ashley era and how a generation of fans had felt alienated by it all.

    Notice how the PL manoeuvred on this? The CAT is mysteriously gone, all the noises of corruption instantly forgotten.

    So well played Ashley and legal team, but it’s a bit of a shame none of the dirty laundry is getting aired. I suspect this is positive too with regards any Levy meeting about vetoing our ability to earn; the PL will just say “do you not understand how much **** you were in if Ashley got to court? Don’t make the Saudis come after us as well”.

    Honestly I’ve been in a fantastic mood since Wednesday evening. Crazy the effect of following a football club can have on you

    Your a Chelsea fan right. What’s it like. To enjoy success. To enjoy watching your team.

    Some older fans of ours like me remember what it was like but can’t really remember the feeling. Watching someone like Drogba score in the CL final.

    Our younger fans only know Ashley. Only know relegation and defeat and failure.

    They have not experienced the highs and the feeling of winning: true win.

    The people who didn’t want our takeover are so selfish. They just wanted us in our place (you seem different).

    We just want to experience happiness.

    The feeling of walking up the stairs and you see the pitch and the air is electric. A ball has not been kicked but your head is in a different place from all the stresses from life. Work. Relationships.

    Your in a church (stadium) where everyone around you is feeling exactly the same. You hear the saxophone and your neck hairs stand up. You know your in for a ride. No one outside understands why you live for it.

    You cry when we score. You feel real pain when we concede. If we lose it hurts and you just want the next game to make it better.

    But under Ashley it never happened. It just kept on hurting more. But everytime it happens you lost that feeling. It just got easier every defeat. Until you accept it.

    Those days are gone.

    You need to have a "word" with him about his shrinking cock.
