Save and Cross stats for Pope are tremendous

Shearer & Wrighty

People forgetting we’ve got Eddie in the dugout and not some defeatist has-been? Im looking forward to all of the fixtures in August and it’s going to be really fun smacking Forest at home when the place is fucking rocking and Wilson is in full bull mode like he was versus Arsenal.

As a random viewpoint as an outsider, it seems Southgate has always had to push back as to why he’s deserving of the job and he’s always been 1 loss away from backlash coming out or 1 win away from being the best. He’s done fantastic over the course of his time Imo but has been falling short.

Mark Douglas still has all the same contacts and is dialed in, how is he lower than the other locals?

Hoijberg is a great player. Absolutley wild to say he's a nothing player. Waiting for the pace merchants to say he's not good enough.

happy to be hated, at least we're not a complete joke of a forgotten mess of a club managed by a bunch of inept stooges.

Well obviously, hence why i thought it was funny you melt.

No fucking way they are back here

You've got to be a pretty big doofus to walk away after years of watching football and saying "nah marrah, the Saudis/Qataris/UAE, they were amazing countries and they do great things" and somehow be brainwashed into thinking whatever they've done in their respective countries. I think the idea of sports washing is fucking moronic, why? because the press will have never let it go. Nobody of any importance or significance, and certainly not the greater % of sports fans and regular human beings are going to suddenly just be OK with what those governments/royal families have done and continue to do. It's the small % of lemmings who probably still believe the earth is flat and Trump should have won the election. Nothings.

Some right pace obsessed weirdos on here. The issue I’ve seen is we’ve got too many overrated players in the game who are solely athletes with very little consistency in their game due to lack of tactical awareness and poor coaching.

or out wide if need be, or as withdrawn striker away from home.

Now the rest of the world will see what Eddie Howe and random Newcaslte fans are asked throughout the season.

Class post @Milanista I would say the mid 90s to early 2000s I would consider Milan my 2nd team. Loved Maldini and was basically my 1a or 1b favorite player next to Shearer. I will tell you right now, a re-charged Milan under Maldini's watchful eye is a draw that can be as iconic as Barca, Real, etc. Just mountainous clubs rich with winning history and traidtion. Not to mention the red/black stripes are legendary. Hopefully we do sign Botman over you all, as I think he'd be our future captain but I'd not begrudge the man for chosing to be part of the Milan project you described.

3 hammy strains in 4 months? How the fuck is that not concerning when you're trying to fork out 25-30m+ ? If they get the proper medical advice that this is fine and proper health, management of injury and fixing his workload etc then all good. But on the surface that's a big red flag.

A recurring hamstring injury is a major concern for a lad who is 19. Despite where we think he can potentially go - he won’t be fulfilling any of that if he’s unable to complete seasons and develop on the pitch.

Think the full new home kit is class imo.

Hopefully in the future we can snag a potential star earlier and spend less on future top players after they move to a club for half of what we will spend now. It’s why I like us taking this punt on Hugo versus buying him after he spends 2 years at another club. The Ashley era drove me nuts in that regard.

All of these contracts have either performance or termination clauses. They’d just need to be activated and paid.

Love that we are playing proper top clubs in preseason again. Christ, how times have changed!

Can't wait Slask to sign our outcasts for 500m

His goal versus Spain too- we had Jon Champion on Espn here and his call gives me goosebumps + crowd going wild.

had he stayed fit I assume Rafa never loses his job this past season.

Cashew “cheese” is fucking incredible.
