  1. Think he had an automatic extension until the WC26 when they qualified for this.
  2. Last round of this group is going to be interesting if Belgium beat Romania, every team on 3 points. One team takes a lead and the two others go through with a draw but every goal causes massive swings.
  3. It's not even a chance if Dubs cuts off the long pass like Pope would do every time.
  4. Surely four points is enough to qualify regardless of goal difference?
  5. Wtf Gilmour? Leads with an elbow and fakes an elbow to his own head?
  6. Both Hanley and Ralston failed hard at short passes right before the goal.
  7. Tierney seems like a cunt, second time throwing himself to the ground.
  8. I mean five at the back doesn't automatically mean a defensive setup but Scotland don't really have the material to go gung-ho.
  9. Totti (sorry Baggio) Ben Arfa Xavi Bergkamp
  10. I'm sorry but I can't see any NUFC regular, be it Trippier, Schär or Burn sign for Ipswich to get a couple of million more on a signing on fee. If they are sitting at bench here it's possible to get playing time but not for money. As a Chelsea fan life must be very money-centric.
  11. TCD already made a good post but I'll reply too as your post has many inaccuracies. We've already given Trippier, Schär and Wilson one year extensions without any drama. There will absolutely not be any drama if Burn needs a new contract. Saying they would ask for more money due to FA status just doesn't apply when they want to be here and in case of Trippier already took a pay cut when he initially joined. Burn has two replacements already (Hall and Kelly), Livramento steps in in place of Trippier when the time comes. We are actively looking for younger understudies (or a replacement in case of Almiron) for Pope, Schär, Wilson and Almiron this window. I hope we can sell Almiron and maybe Wilson this window but it's not really the end of the world if really old players walk as their transfer value has already plummeted. Getting £10m for Wilson isn't that important when him being in the squad could easily be worth that in league prize money and possible qualification for Europe. Players like Gallagher entering their last year is a massive problem and should never be allowed in the age of FFP but NUFC right now doesn't have that problem. All the young core players have long deals. Instead we are happy many contracts are ending as so many of those players we simply can't move and they have no value on the pitch either and so far the important older players have been happy to sign short extensions.
  12. Love the aggressive 'mate' at the end.
  13. It's not really worth noting though, all those players are either old or not important without checking. We have important players that are old but if they are still good on the pitch they most likely have no reason to leave and we could always extend them without much drama (Schär, Wilson, Trippier, Burn etc.).
  14. Most pointless fight in history over a ball in the net.
