Mucker1884

I turn up with a metaphorical smile on my face, but I ain't exactly buzzin'.
It ain't buzzin' on the approach to, or around the outer perimeters of, the stadium, 10 mins before KO.
I'm happy to sit and watch, applaud a good move, cheer a goal or a close effort.  I even occasionally go "Ooh" for a near miss.
But I don't think I've started a NE rendition of "Come on Derby" all season.  Even after going a goal down.
Something needs to click, for us all to be buzzin' again, I reckon.
Maybe we're not far off that click?  Next month?  Easter?  Not quite this season, but hopefully next?
Who knows when it will happen, but we need that click.  We need to have something happen (on the pitch) that brings back the belief.  We ain't there yet.

Sorry to quote myself but this also links in with the atmosphere at pride park thread. 

xG has many uses. You can't see it with your eyes, or hold it in your hands, but like the wind it covers our land, strong enough to rule the heart of any man.
Powerful stuff.

I never make predictions and I never will 

Why are they experts on attendances though.
 I had, on the match day thread two and a half hours before kickoff stated there would be a crowd of around 27,000.( official attendance 27,192 )
Based on my estimation,
22,000 season tickets.
1,900 away fans.
Round about 5,700 tickets available on a match day for home fans before they start to gather in the seats not normally sold unless it’s close to a sellout, around 2,000 tickets left so 3,700 sold.
So a figure of around 27,600 tickets sold minus season ticket holders that can’t make night matches,
27,192.

I used to advise that, if your baby doesn't like cold milk, warm it up in a microwave for 90 seconds, but after being invited to help the police with their enquiries for 7 bloody hours down at Full St nick, no way am I making that faux pas again!

Are we allowed mixed teams now then?  🤷‍♂️
... And is she any good?  🤷‍♂️

I have a cunning plan already afoot... let's just they they are being specifically designed to work with rail seats/safe standing.  I'm calling them "Terrace-Tena".

"If God had intended football to be watched from seats, He* wouldn't have called the spectator area a stand".
 
 
*Gender pronoun used merely to disguise the true Identity of God, and is no way based on fact, true events, or even on what Brian would most definitely have said way back when such terms as "Of course he worra bloody bloke, yer daft bint" were perceived as "acceptable". etc.

Me too mate, although you spell it different to me.  It's almost an annual treat, now.

Hark at Facty McFactFace, with your powers of rational observation. Well look here sunshine, as a relatively new member of the forum, you are afforded the one pass, but I'm afraid that's done now and I must now insist that you observe forum traditions for all future posts and stick to whingy hyperbole. Nit-picking is acceptable in the advent of us scoring 3 or more goals, but if you fail to identify something to moan about on all other occasions, you're not trying hard enough. FWIW, forum protocols dictate that you may loosely refer to 'feeling mildly upbeat', but the more tangentially you express such notions, the better as happy people make unhappy people even less happy and we can't have happy folk making unhappy folk even unhappier, can we? Top tip; try following any vaguely positive remark up with a negative conditioner, for example; "Yeah, I know that we won 4-0 today and we've won 6 from 7, scoring bucketloads, but Louie Sibley...." Works a treat!
For future reference, if at anytime you fear that you are once again succumbing to any feelings of even mild positivity, please just consider that we'd never beat Man City with this lot of cloggers and you should find your yin instantly realigned with your yang. On the rare occasions this does not work, I usually try to visualise Margaret Thatcher in her undies as I find that a rage / nausea combo is a quite effective buzzkill. That said, I'd only advise using this technique when literally all else fails.
A last word on your ridiculously positive end-note; please see my reaction to that below, as expressed through the medium of GIF.

…………no further comment required. 👍🐏

Is that "B4's Daddy"?
 
Nice to see you both smiling.
👍🐏

I've only caught up on the posts to half time, so far.
The number of posts treating that HT score as game over is quite embarrassing.  "Throwing 4 points away in two games".  "Ward costing us two games in a row."
Dear oh dear!  🙄
Ah well... I'll go and catch up on the second half posts now... still in with a chance of winning this game on aggregate!  🙄

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to you all..
 

Rammie being his dad would explain a lot.

Looking at the fixtures, I'm very much looking forward to another win against Lincoln in a months time, going top, and celebrating my birthday all on the same day.
