Can we win the tie?

Yes we will!

West Ham in the rear view 

Begs the question, if you've got $3bn to throw at football club, why are you farting around with a lower end championship team with little redeeming features?

To be fair, you can be intersex and have ovaries, and even be a woman either with a defect leading to no ovaries, or already had them removed.

I just don't see the issue with the language here, it isn't woke, it just doesn't hurt anyone.

Easy for you to say as a man....

Gold lion will be the thing. Karen O approves.

That's why the gas lamp inspired shield was so good.  Looks like a shield but to those that know it means something.

Its not particularly original (or even provably true). Spurs have the same story. 

He will save us.

In fairness, that " Asten " account put the overlay on the lion way before Bosko Boots did his rendering, and the club trademarked the overlay graphic years ago?

So essentially, the club own all the elements which go into the badge already, what grounds would that bloke have to kick up a fuss?

No one asked him to do what he did lol.

I'm starting to wonder if we're being " had " by multiple parties FFS .

Just needs to be done now.

Made me chuckle Bosko was lapping up the praise and flexing his marketing experience when he's just plain robbed the idea

That Bosko copied this and claimed its as his own, then the club copied Bosko and TMed it. Plot twist - Asten is Heck!!

You can have the best crest of all time, but if the team isn't successful it doesn't make a difference.

The most unique part of our identity is our name, specifically the second part. 

Hopefully its a full and well thought out rebrand and not just whacking a generic rampant lion on the shirt.

The rampant lion is about as generic as it gets.

I hope they can be a bit more creative than that. Its this years "get the round badge back!"

Which conspiracy theories do you believe in? Or are you worse as well?

Don't ask me. JFK said it shortly after his assassination by the CIA.

There's only one thing worse than someone who believes every conspiracy theory, and that's someone who believes none. 

The holding onto the ball and passing around the back is to draw out the opposing forwards and make space in the midfield. Its intentional.

Why are people following nonsense twitter accounts. Hilarious

Lyric account has a whiff of Thatcherlover about it. Probably the same guy. Tony Blair.

Genuine question but does any grown adult actually buy any club merchandise, think the last top I bought was 34 years ago. It had Mita Copiers on the front. Not knocking but I don’t get adults having a meltdown about kits etc.

yes.

Fits in with what @dont_do_it_doug.posted the other day 

What was that?

We're as good as down. If not this season, then next.

Cant wait to use Gerrards HUGE pulling power to raid ....... Rangers!?

Toon are in serious threat of relegation. We are a step above that 

We'll see about that after the next five games

With or without Smith or Gerrard we will NOT be relegated

There's a big chance this goes wrong. Relegation is a definitely possible.

Horrible appointment. Needlessly risky when there are clearly better candidates available, just so Purslow can get his mate in. 

I think we'll get relegated.
