That Tel for Spurs looks pretty bad IMO. Very wasteful every time he has the ball. Man Utd look absolutely brutal though.

Wolves are a proper striker away from being a really good team. They create so many chances but never take them.

He's finished man and should never be played ahead of Tino. We need to sell in the summer and bring another right back in. Love Tripps for that first couple of years but it's over.

People who think he'll be moved on in the summer or soon into next season, who is coming in after him? Howe is still getting a good tune out of a squad that has been allowed to grow stale because of PSR. He's making what are average players in Burn, Murphy and at times others like Willock look really good. He has developed young lads like Hall, Tino, Miley and Gordon into proper players, some of which have made their England debuts under Howe. He's doing a brilliant job under extremely tough financial constraints while having to sell the likes of Minteh and Anderson who have proven to be good players at other clubs since. People need to remember that the first thing a new manager will have to do is replicate everything above on day one because they're going to be under the same financial constraints, and if they aren't and we've managed to position ourselves that we can spend a bit of money in the summer then why not let Howe do it? Has he not earned the right to finally improve his squad after 2 years? He's got us to two cup finals (so far) and the top 4, he would have got European football last season too only for the FA Cup and he's in line to do it again this year. We're 2 points from 5th which will be a Champions League spot, maybe just chill and give him a chance? We could be in the Champions League again with at least one trophy in the bag in 3 months. People need to remember that there is more to Howe as well. After 14 years of hell this man has come in and brought huge hope, joy and togetherness to our fanbase which money cannot buy, do we really want change and potentially risk a managerial merry-go-round of has-beens like Mourinho who could completely tear all that apart? I know I don't, not just yet.

Gordon has been a disgrace today.

And lost to Fulham at home just before it. The atmosphere was electric against Arsenal, realistically we were never ever gonna lose that. Hopefully their desire to win the cup inspired the Arsenal wins and they take that attitude into the final rather than the one we're seeing today and far too many times at home this season.

No one will if we can't buy players.

Its a poor performance but the reality is Eddie wasn't allowed to buy a single decent player to improve the squad for what, 3 transfer windows now? Because of PSR, but City just spunked £200m in January because Pep got a few bad results, and their shiny new £60m player scored a hatrick. The games corrupt to the core.

Performances like this are what worries me about the final. Players like Gordon and Willock have far too many off days this season. Play like this, like Fulham, West Ham, Bournemouth and Brighton at home and we'll be well beaten by Liverpool.

Get it done asap, you wouldn't know what shite those corrupt cunts will try and pull soon.

What does this mean in practice? Can we do a £100m a season training ground naming rights deal?

I reckon they'll hold onto Ange until the end of the season.

I bet so many of the Ashington ones say its because of Bobby Charlton and definitely not glory-hunting back when they were good.

He isn't. Not sure why.

Does anyone think Longstaff would be in their starting 11 btw?

A big difference this time is Tonali, Isak, Gordon, Hall, a decent goalkeeper. If we keep our important players fit we're a much better outfit than 2023. Just hope our players get stuck in and don't allow nerves to creep in. On our day we can beat Liverpool.

Theres direct flights from Dublin. I'm sold on this post alone.

He's sorted but I'm guessing my ma won't go because she'll be worried about leaving him.

Apparently so.

One of them is Mum btw Edit: fuck you

I'll be there boys but I've 3 maybe 5 other stragglers. Maybe I should avoid it.

Sat in the bar in Dublin airport and there's a fair few mags knocking about. Absolutely buzzing for this!

Got us to score 2 or more, Arsenal 2 or more cards and us 5 or more corners at 11/1 on Paddy Power today.

Still 1/4 to progress though.

And the kinder egg for desert with a side order of tampons.
