If we beat Forest on Boxing Day we will be on 32 points. After we beat Leics on Boxing Day last season we were on 33 points but with more away points and less home points. One point but we’ve played far more games than last season at this time. Statistics!

‘We support Eddie - we believe in Eddie’ then once team is announced it’s a case of ‘urggh’ ‘what sort of team is that’, ‘Chelsea will score loads’. I just shake my head. We’ve just gone on a 9 game unbeaten run! Maybe it’s just me but get a grip man!!

Today is a major day in my NUFC support! 70 years ago today on 16.09.53 I saw my first 1st team game at SJP. I had only seen reserve or Gateshead matches before that. Close to 58,000 and a 3-7 hammering off WBA. Better result later hopefully.

The Botman saga is a ‘saga’ in the minds of some fans. If the club felt he wasn’t the ‘right character’ I can’t imagine they would still be interested. Just let the club (not journalists) handle the whole deal - the same applies to Ekitike deal imo.

We are apparently ‘in a slump’ - checks the exact meaning of ‘slump’. I’ve been going to SJP since the fifties - I’ve seen a canny few proper ‘slumps’ in that time but the common factor was defeats by the bucketload!! We’ve lost 2 all season.
