I know Son and Kane are different class, but it was still galling to see how easily they cut through our defence. Lucas Moura gave us some headaches as well.

I'm talking in relative terms really, obviously we aren't bombing forward just yet, on account of not having very good players, but we aren't parking the bus like we did under Bruce, sot that's still part of the transition to more attacking football.

There were always going to be games like this, it's the price of trying to change to a more attacking style with players who aren't good enough. On the plus side, once we have better players, the change will look better.

I love Ginola but he doesn't half talk shite sometimes.

Don't think we will though. A draw will do me after two losses on the bounce.

They described it as him having a setback on Sky Sports news, making a comeback this season unlikely, don't know if they got the wrong end of the stick, but that does seem like fresh news if it's true.

Yep looking forward to it more than the January window because from here on in, we'll be bringing quality players only, and we can be far more strategic about our recruitment as, hopefully we'll be established as a Premier team for ever.

I said in the match thread, that's the hardest I've ever seen him strike the ball. It was the exception that proved the rule.

It was a nice finish but even then the ball was passed into the net. The lack of any real shooting power is his biggest weakness IMO, he'd score a lot more goals if he could really leather it.

On the other hand, 50% availability of a top class striker is maybe better than an 80% availability of a poor one. We don't actually have any good strikers at the club apart from Wilson, we'd have to buy two more to consider selling him. Wold the fee for a 30 year old injury prone striker be worth it?

Pogba's a fantastic player for the right club but I think those who said he's more suited to the continent are right. It's not that he can't handle the pace of the PL, I just don't think he can be arsed. He always looks so much better playing for France. I love watching him play, but I don't think he's a NUFC player, his head always seems to be turning wherever he is. Plus he looks much less effective with a bald head.

I think in the summer we'll be a lot more strategic in our signings, we'll only be bringing in significant upgrades, players who can really improve our first team for the most part, so even if that's just three signings, you can bet they will be good players.

Hear Hear! And kicked in the knackers for good measure.

What the fuck is Luke the Puke on about now? You click on a thread about transfer rumours and there's more tweets of him fighting with supporters.

I'm not even thinking about going down, I'm more pissed off we haven't got at least four points from our last couple of games which would have seen us having a great shot at top 10.

I meant in his prime which is when he played for Blackburn wasn't it? He was past his best when he came to us, but if Robson liked him, I'd go with his opinion tbh. SBR usually preferred footballers over carthorses.

Kevin Gallagher was a pretty good player in his prime though, part of a Premier League/English League/First Division winning side. He was a damn fine player at the top level at the time. Wood is nowhere near that quality so the comparison is fairly shit.

That's what this game does to you, we've all been there.

Yeah that would be funny. If any of those officials actually watched the game they should be embarrassed to be drawing attention to it again.

Wow, I can see why you were biting your tongue, you don't hold back when unload do you? But yes, I've mentioned a few times about those headers going nowhere, and I agree, he's not that great in the air for a man his size. He does press the defenders well though.

Yep, basically said the same sort of stuff in the post above.

I agree, I know a lot of people on here didn't like him, but I thought him and Dyer gave us a very dynamic midfield. We didn't get overrun much in those days did we?

Still don't know to this day how they got away with that. I think after some complaints they put another strip called the awfully nice Gypsie bastards or something along those lines.

The pathetic sharks were an inspired creation tbh. Almost Blackadder levels of genius.

Cockney Spiv! I think I was subliminally affected by that cunt, I've used that term many times on here.
