SAK

Let hall have the free kick

Yellow for Yates at last

Joe calm it man.

Fuck saying did Bruno foul the keeper before goal

Goal stands.

And he scores after I criticise him.

Isak shit there at holding it up or laying it off. Almost cost a goal.

If that Bruno shot went in, damn!

Barnes on for Gordon anyone?

Positives: Lots of possession Not so good: -Easy to get at on the counter with midfield offering little protection for the defence. -Passing not crisp. -Not taking the responsibility to shoot and going for another pass instead -players receiving the ball and there’s a easy lay off to a teammate but instead turn the other way and lose the ball.

Absolute shite from Gordon there.

Foul just on edge for f area on lira, close.

Autocorrect of instead.

Longstaff should have gone for shot instead of the 1-2

I still dislike Wigan after that tackle on Haidara all those years back and then their bastard owner (don’t you know I broke my leg in an FA cup final) saying it was a fair challenge.

What’s fucking wrong with the standard of sports journalism in this country or journalism in general for that matter? All these stupid questions (not sure if the word jingoism would be correct in its usage here). Who cares if he speaks English for a few seconds, the guy doesn’t want to so why be a prick and force it for your soundbite? The bit where he says you’ve spoken Portuguese for 25 minutes, guess what he’s Portuguese, managing a Portuguese team, sat in a room in Portugal.

Not something I’d pay for but with PSR it’ll be a necessary evil for us to get in punters who will pay for a more premium experience. New stadium with more private boxes opening into an exclusive lounge, get the Saudi charter flights in, private luxury transfers to the ground, kerching. Depending on location get a hotel added on, even better to keep it all in house.

Arsenal are fine ones to talk they pull the same shit all the time.

Highly rated but who knows how that transfers to the PL. Their squad for quality v expenditure is poor but they don’t have the financial restrictions we do but I don’t think they’re in a position to bin off lots of Ten Hags signings so the turn around might be slow.

Was prepping the walls in my house for painting this evening and missed the match. Reading the comments seems like we played well. Hopefully can find some highlights somewhere.

I’d take him at that price even if we don’t sell Isak, wishful thinking with our finances I know.

As a thought what stops PIF buying up assets and transferring ownership to the club? Kind of like what Chelsea do with hotels. £1Billion in a NASDAQ or DOW tracker fund, sell to NUFC for a nominal amount. Ultimately PIF still own the asset as they own the club so no loss to them unless there’s a Great Depression II (which will probably happen knowing our luck). Wait for those more knowledgeable in football finance to tell me it’s a non starter.

Hope city let him know they want him when Peo leaves and he turns them down.

He’s not a back to goal, hold it up striker which is what he is ending having to try to be due to our overall poor play. We need Bruno and Sandro to hit through balls for him to latch on to or for the wide players to get the crosses in for him to attack. I read that he’s not a fox in the box type but recall a couple he scored against West Ham with him attacking a cross/cut back and there’s others if anyone cares to look through his YouTube goal compilations. He’s not blame free I.e. missing chances and not passing when he should but we need to get the overall team playing better to get the best out of him. Retaining the ball better, better midfield movement as I don’t see others driving into space to receiving the ball when a teammate receives it and then in turn others moving off the back of that to receive a pass. I recall the in 4th place year triangle passes which we don’t pull off anymore ( seems disjointed). We need more incisive attacking play instead of endless toothless passing (see Brighton game).

He’s not a passing right back, his game is carrying the ball forward. He needs a better RW, someone he can offload the ball to and then support once he gets it up the field.
