In the 90’s we finished in the top six 4 times, qualified for UCL once (much much harder back then), broke the EPL transfer fee record (for any club) and got to two cup finals. #justsayin #nufc

It is near impossible for London-based #nufc supporters to get into the away section of our London fixtures. Roughly half of our away fixtures are in London.

@andyburnham.bsky.social says he wants to “end rip-off Britain”. Great! Anyone else think that secondary ticket markets (like Viagogo stubhub and LiveFootballTickets) are one of the biggest rip-offs ever?

If that was the case, the 14 clubs would vote against the rules. In reality, it’s worse than that. Most of the 14 don’t want one of the 14 to join the 6 either.

Thank goodness that @nufctrust.bsky.social wisely invested supporters’ funds collected during the dying days of Ashley to fund a supporters’ bid rather than donating them to a food bank when PIF took over #nufc

They should introduce PSR for international football to ensure Germany can never compete on level terms ever again (ironic)

Looks like England’s likely route to the final is DRC (16th), Mexico (8th), Brazil (QF), Argentina (SF) then France/Spain (F). How far will #england get? #fifaworldcup

Might be nice to replace Howe with someone better but it seems, in PIF’s eyes, he’s “good enough”, just like the half-built stadium is “good enough” and mid-table is “good enough”. So I’m glad he’s not being replaced with a manager who's just “good enough”. That would be a step backwards. #nufc

. @kiranstacey.bsky.social why do you say, “she [Rachel Reeves] announced a budget that raised taxes to levels most seen since the 1940s” in today’s @theguardian.com ? This is Daily Mail levels of misleading. In the 1940s the basic rate of income tax was 45% and the personal allowance was £6,000!

Why didn't #NUFC get Eketike, Pedro, Mbuemo, Sesko, Cunha and lost Isak last summer. Imho it had nothing to do with the manager. Howe has made mistakes but blaming him for PSR and the fact that NUFC's revenues are half of Liverpool's and MUFC's would be a huge mistake.

Competing with the "super-league" clubs on our current revenues is unrealistic. We can only compete if we grow the revenues. The only way to do that is to build a new stadium, If we don't do that, we'll be here in ten years time. The fact that there are no plans speaks volumes. #nufc
