Is Steve Gibson still funding the losses up there?

Surely that can’t go on forever? Now he has well and truly got fuck all to show from 20 years backing. 

A league cup win and UEFA cup final. 

What a shit hobby

He is, think he's getting grief himself for lack of signings which is mental considering the tens of millions he'll have put in over time.

Totally thankless task this, struggled and struggled to get back into PL then had Karanka trying to turgidly defend their way to survival and failed, now they've got Pulis.

What a state football is in.

Probably at or past the stage where some sort of radical changes to the professional game are needed. Anything from looking at salaries, distribution of money, power of agents, league structure, European tournaments, Super Leagues, clubs stockpiling players that don't have a hope of turning out for them, shite facilities, prices of tickets, football becoming more of a TV program than a spectator sport...

Rafts of problems. Where does it lead?

Delighted for Newport, 2 quality wins now another pay day v city. Made a few bob over the last couple of years. Never mind Accy being the club that wouldn’t die, these have done a fine job at rising from the dead

 

Always wanted Newport to lose after what happened to Chungy,

Make him play for us for the rest of the season.

Crikey, the chairman of the discipline committee would need to put his black hanky on his head as he handed down that punishment.

Think I might back City to score 5 or more in the next round. Mind you, they'll be playing on a mud heap so maybe that will help keep the score down a bit. Big payday again for Newport though. Made a million quid with their last FA Cup run I heard. Must be immense for a club like that.

 

Have to say looking at that pitch and those packed stands, it felt like real football again.

Couldn’t really have cared less who wins this but now Tyrone Wanker Mears is playing, I’m a Brighton fan for this

I had to check to see if it was him!

Had an 18 injury career, interspersed with some football games, many of which were a bit shit. A lucky man.

Coyles fault for playing chungy against what was then little more than a pub team, horrendous management by Coyle. 

I've never understood that criticism.  Since when did first team players not take part in pre season friendlies? It wasn't a Bolton XI, it was the first team squad trying to get match fit for the new season.

There's a few things to have a go at Coyle for but that ain't one of em!

Aye, it's a long, long way down a long, long list
