VAR and the technology isn't the issue and never has been. It's the human beings who operate it, ignore blatant errors and don't have the spine to overturn clearly incorrect decisions because they don't want to make their mates look daft. It's not about getting the right decision, it's about justifying the plethora of shit ones. This fantastic technology rendered essentially useless by spineless cunts.

This is the issue for me, I don't think he is doing his best, same with Clark. They're going through the motions and the pair of them are currently paying the worst football of their time here. They're not even doing the basics, mental errors and lack of concentration/bottle at key moments. I'd go as far as to say if the planks appear consistently from Jan we'll go down regardless of who we sign, it's the exact type of CB paring that gets relegated each year, they're dreadful.

I don't even need to talk you through it, you've seen it dozens of times. Absolutely typical performance

That's (another) fucking outrageous decision from another referee. I'm not into conspiracy theories but it's happening every fucking game man.

Shouldn't even be on the pitch to be fucking fair. Thick as fuck vs Norwich and thick as fuck today. Huge mistakes , I bet his teammates fucking loathe him, grafting like fuck then this nugget drops rick after rick to put them in the shit. Just get the fuck down the pyramid where you belong ffs.

Dreadful tackle from Jamaal White there.

How many more years is it until Marriner retires? He's a fucking joke.

Picking online fights with Crook Town. They're getting smaller by the week. Their owner's got a trust fund you know? Not sure if it's been mentioned.

Apologies

I made that up btw ?

Digne called him a stupid fat cunt in training last week.

I know absolutely nothing about him but if he knows the mechanics of carrying out a transfer then he'll come in handy. Crucial that they get this window right and his experience will help. No idea how it'll pan out but we've not got much choice but to gamble and cross our fingers, no point being negative about it, he's just walked through the door.

Sincerely hope the dropped 2 points costs them immeasurably. Cunts.

Tonight changes nothing. Whatever people were on at 6pm tonight still applies. We got beat at Anfield, who the fuck expected anything else?

Another one just before HT sounds about right?

Manchester United's official reason for asking for a postponement is "we don't have enough players to fulfil the fixture". Just read that cunt again. Man U, the biggest club on the planet, apparently don't have enough players to play the fucking fixture. Utter, fucking, shithouses. Biggest cunts going.

Quite agree. Or, if that's the reason they're unavailable, dip into the youth squad and play them instead. Take the hit.

Should just bring a chair and a book. Sit in the D all night and just chill the fuck out.

Remember when they refused to cancel the Cheltenham festival and it helped to massively spread the virus across the country? Yeah, that.

Because people view and reply to their tweets. Because people listen to podcasts etc. I'd much rather read the opinions of anonymous people on here than interact with real names/personalities who have become (in)famous for their opinions on social media. My suspicion is that they're not that bothered about the club that much at all, they absolutely are bothered about their own status and profile. Wraith and Hurst being the 2 that spring to mind immediately. Both weapons-grade bellends.

Melt them all down and build a 24/7 cage for that utter hazard in the coffin

Imagine Staveley agreeing a £20m a year shirt sponsorship deal then going back a week later and being forced to renegotiate it and being limited to only coming out with £12m a year. It's fucking ludicrous

I understand that pov tbf, no-one likes being ripped off I'd forget about the fee instantly and I'd also be watching a better NUFC team on the park, that's all I'm really interested in. Sometimes you've just got to bite the bullet and pay the money, we're desperate, clubs know we're desperate. We can wave at them as we progress and eventually pass them.

The "value for money" narrative we've been battered with for the last 14 years has now disappeared, I can understand why it's still present but it's now obsolete. The new owners have fought tooth and nail for a couple of years just to have the chance to propel a club to the top by giving it full financial backing, it's a completely new paradigm. The only question about signing a player like Trippier is should be 'will he provide a significant upgrade on what we have?' If the answer is yes then he needs to be signed, that's the only thing that matters right now. We need at least 5 or 6 like Trippier immediately to give ourselves a chance, pay what it takes.

Finest legal minds on the planet will find loopholes. No idea how they'll do it but they will and they'll take it through the courts of need be. I'd love to see the reaction of we announced a 10 year deal to rename the stadium at £30m a season or something like that. All paid in advance. 10 year shirt deal at £18m per year. All paid in advance. Then renegotiate in 2 years time and adjust the contract. Something like that. There will be ways around it.
