It's 2008 again. Wayne Rooney scored a goal.

Why wasn't Capn Jack SetPiece taking the pen?

COMPLETELY missed the award of the pen. Mitrooogol

just saw his little fetal position flop, more quality. Jigsaw 2.0.

BLASTOFF

:lol:

It was. Seconded.

Colback when he had no backward pass to make. Fully blue screened.

Colback. Fucking useless.

Completely agree. Get Sterry on.

Cisse def would've done the same there imo. Probably even better.

drop mitro, he's shit

not sure i even know who lingard is

Honestly, I don't care about the semantics here. We drop players within about 4 games if they've not destroyed the entire league (whilst simultaneously managing to ALWAYS TRACK BACK), and we revert to the same old cloggers. Then when it turns out we're still really fucking shit, we go on a moderate spending spree, rather than just preparing properly in the first place. Loaning players is another step in the direction of immediate gain, purely to help us drag ourselves to the end of the season without going down. What's the point? It's worthless. We're not competing for anything, we're not trying to do anything. So I'm scraping the barrel massively to find any joy in NUFC whatsoever, and replacing a young hopeful player with a double-dip loanee striker is just another erosion of my enjoyment levels.

That's not really anything to do with my point. We're perennial relegation contenders at this point. I'd prefer we got relegated and had some interesting players/player stories, than just get in a bunch of randoms to see us through to the end of the season, only to be fucked again next year.

Quite happy with these two signings, but it's not like we've signed Pogba and Busquets here Busquets is 27 why would we want him

Meaty Mick doesn't know dick

Of course we are, he wanted out and ensured he played badly and made no attempt to win games. He had a couple of games to put himself in the shop window and did everything he could to lose us the games. What does that tell you about his attitude. Good riddance indeed. Finally a true replacement for Cabaye

Same thing happens every time. "Were signing James Perch, lets see what Forest fans say!" Forest Fans - "He's shit" "Bitter cunts, bet he's class" 6 months later "I'd rather watch an England game than see James Perch in an NUFC shirt ever again"

it's pronounced hyon-yo in his native mordor

Too many people desperate to grasp anything that looks 'good' I'm not desperate to grasp Jonjo Shelvey like. It's just that money is pretty much irrelevant to us as fans nowadays. Fees are defined by far more than a playing ability, and generally the money involved is a tiny proportion of what comes in from Sky anyway. And comparisons with other transfer fees barely even work, because people don't have/consider the full picture. No wage information, no bonus information, vague contract length details, and let's not forget the most important factor of all, potential resale value. Just seems a better idea to discuss how he's a lazy son of a gun who went full Carver about 3 days ago.

Who the fuck cares what the price is. What difference does it make?

Bored of short term. We've been doing short term for years now. Our cycle is pretty much "do fuck all" -> "nearly go down" -> "panic buy" -> "survive by skin of teeth", and then repeat. The only chance of me getting any enjoyment is if we play our own players and look like we're doing something useful as a club. Loaning mercenaries doesn't appeal to me.
