    Transfer Rumour Palmer to Norwich

    I’d be massively disappointed with that as Palmer is the most watchable and creative player we have, and given how much of the end of last season he missed I imagine still not at full sharpness. No doubt people will say he’s made of glass, can’t last 90 minutes blah blah, but I really don’t know...

    We don't create enough

    Palmer played a number of brilliant balls yesterday. I can (just about) understand people criticising his stamina etc., but surely not his skill and creativity.

    No need to spend any money. Surely we've got unlimited supplies of this?

    Yes it was 'boisterous' in the West End, and looking back with 21st Century eyes the atmosphere at football matches was prehistoric really. To most people, it seemed prehistoric even at the time to be honest.

    So you stuck to one place in ground, even when they put the seats in! I was the opposite - I had long spells (years) on the Kop, the crow's nest, in the Main Stand, and the West End (before and after seating), but I literally don't think there was any part of Highfield Road I didn't watch games...

    Taken from the 'crow's nest'. Stood up there for years, and it seems like yesterday. Hard to believe that none of this exists any more.

    Wow I don't remember the part-built Sky Blue Stand! I was only a young kid at the time though. The terrace at the west end was always called the 'west end' regardless of its formal name. Edit: even after the seats were put in.

    Would someone like Norton-Cuffey come here to play second fiddle though?

    Evo, have you got a link to the website? I'm curious about the date of the photos - would guess somewhere around 1978 to 1980? Cameras weren't great in those days were they :ROFLMAO:

    The first one is the side terracing in front of the Sky Blue stand, the second one is the West End. Both bring back so many memories. That fencing was horrible, but somehow it came to be accepted.

    What delightful planet have we landed on, where we now appear in the same sentence as the 'a' word?

    Sunderland crowd..

    Your philosophy is clear 'mate', but there is no need for winners and losers in this case. Why is encouragement for families 'capped'? The offer is great, and there's room in the stadium to meet all the likely demand from people with kids.

    Sunderland crowd..

    Adele can't make extra tickets available by opening more blocks, but CCFC can. If Pete had got in in time, by definition somebody else and their kid(s) would have missed out, and now be having to pay vastly more and it would be 'their fault'. If I understand it correctly, the club has elected...

    Godden scored in the 39th minute. Cannot understand the idea of travelling to Swansea for a football match, missing a chunk of it to go looking for a drink, and feeling hard done by for missing a goal.
