  1. What a man! Get them fully charged for the 2nd half eddie!
  2. Miggy, unbeleviable! ASM, titanic defence, solid joe, jow and bruno have this! calum at the races
  3. Ripped mr walker and stones a couple if new ones!!!
  4. OH MY FUNCKIN GOD! ALAN, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN
  5. Aye, possibly a game for longstaff. We will be defending more than we attack, so makes sense
  6. Imagine we beat city? The pundits and the rest of the league would find a new respect/fear for when they play against us. This game could really be a shocker if we pull it off. I think there is a 20% chance we could do it. need them all on fire, specially ASM and Miggs
  7. Good teams so far this year: citeh liverpool chelsea spurs arsenal the rest are prwtty normal tbf. Six andbseventh place for the taking. i would say brighton and ourselves up there…
  8. 1-1 miggy equaliser 90th Grealish subbed off bruno & joe destruction masterclass
  9. Tottenham 2 v 0 Wolves (double) Crystal Palace 1 v 1 Aston Villa Everton 1 v 0 Notts Forest Fulham 0 v 2 Brentford Leicester 1 v 0 Southampton Bournemouth 1 v 2 Arsenal Leeds 0 v 2 Chelsea West Ham 0 v 2 Brighton Newcastle 1 v 1 Man city Man U 0 v 3 Liverpool
  10. Mid life crisis? Instead of buying a Harley he went all out and bought a premier league toy, in Saudi wealth terms it would be a decent ratio
  11. Manu are selling a minority share because some of the other persons in the Glazer family want out. Seems like the brothers, Abel andCane/Ashley & Mike, or whatever they are called, are not interested in selling and would like to continue in their positions and exploit further their leveraged money cow. It does seem like Manu have their own version of the same parasite we had. I have absolutely no shame in saying that I am enjoying their fall from grace after so many years of their arrogant existence.

    Sven Botman

    I thought he looked hesitant/ nervous, kind of catching up with the pace of the prem when defending/reading, but didnt look like making any errors either. decent at passing, but prefer it on the deck as his long balls were not zeroed in tbh. Good first game, will take him a few to get up to speed.
  13. First half was very even. Second half they pushed a little higher and pressed and played really well in the middle, they were helped by their 343 formation which allowed them to press higher. We had no impact subs and it showed. We could only hang on for the point. Maxi was awful today, back to his frustrating self. Calum seemed to struggle and was isolated too much, he put up a good fight though! Miggy was great in first half and lost it in second. Far too weak when on any 50/50 challenge. Trippier just does not seem at 100% yet, his defending was woeful today. Botman was hesitant but solid, too early to judge. Burn and Schar very good, another 8/10 from each. our midfield three tried hard but were outnumbered and outplayed for the majority of the match. Bruno getting caught with the ball too often. VERY GOOD AWAY POINT!!!
  14. Ask a Geordie and a Cockney to pronounce Joe Linton: Joooh Lintin Jaar Lehnten
  15. Yep, think it was 93/94 with andy cole at his best and beardsley as his supporting act. just were great to watch and were so gung-ho it was just an adrenalin rush watching them!

    Our attitude ,never say die during a game gives us the edge over our sixth place competitors

    I look at our first eleven and compare it with Manu and West ham and I HONESTLY THINK OUR PLAYERS ARE BETTER THAN THEM. 6th wouldnt surprise me in the least as I am sure we will buy one or two additions before this window closes
  18. Just looked online (spain): from every 1.800 kids playing federated football (registered and insured) only 1 will make it to a professional team (top 3 divisions)
  19. I think the rate at which the top league players (kids up to >18) make it into professional or semi professional football is only about 1%. That make it into the top sides about 5% of the above. In short: forget about making it via footy
  20. PS. That’s the reason I was so adamant at not signing dodgy full backs from atletico madrid! Watch a lot of spanish football…
  21. As an example to show the difference I can see comparing it to north of spain: Over here in bilbao they have a very good academy. And the kids teams from 9 years old up to 18 years all have scouts who can tell you the best players in literally every school and club team in the whole region. Even the so called feeder teams (think wallsend boys - at least many moons ago, couldnt say now 30 years later) have scouts who know just about every player in their respective leagues. Was really surprised at the level of knowledge and tracking they do on thousands of kids! Know this as my own lad plays (16yrs).

    Howe has had a full pre season to get HIS players fit and working a playing method into their system. Last season he had to lift them both mentally and physically half way through the season under a huge amount of pressure. Our current achilles is wilson’s fitness, lack of attacking subs and some quality on the right. IF we do not address the above (wilson sub + right attack) we should reach eighth place, if we do we would be in euro places 100%
  23. Aston Villa 2 v 1 Everton Arsenal 2 v 2 Leicester Brighton 1 v 2 Newcastle Man City 4 v 1 Bournemouth Southampton 2 v 0 Leeds Wolves 0 v 1 Fulham Brentford 2 v 2 Man United Notts Forest 0 v 1 West Ham Chelsea 1 v 1 Tottenham Liverpool 3 v 0 Crystal Palace (double)
  24. Dont like gueda from valencia. Another one who flatters to deceive
