Again, it's about the team effort but: Pope 8 Trippier 9 Schar 8 Botman 9 Burn 8 Longstaff 8 Bruno 7 Willock 8 Miggy 7 Wood 6 Joelinton 7

Think alot about fresh teenagers do you?

Gary Neville there basically saying you have to be a right cunt to play for man United. Can't say I disagree mind.

Man United are so inconsistent. Can't wait to play them at SJP.

Danny Ings has always been good like, one of those staple PL strikers who can hustle and bustle whilst getting you 12/15 goals if given a good run. He's very similar to Wilson. Not as good obvs.

Have put my hatred of Villa to the side. I like Emery and we've embarrassed them already this year. They've also been victims of Gerrard, which I wouldn't wish on anyone.

Yeah I suggested him a couple of weeks ago. He ticks all the boxes. So much potential there. Brighton would probably cash in too.

Matty Cash is more likely to be a long term replacement to Trippier than a back up. For me, unless you are binning off Krafth, it has to be a CB who can play RB. Preferably someone young with technical ability who can be Schars understudy.

Emery has been there a couple of weeks and they already look so much better. Stupid mistake aside.

Arsenal- won't sign Maddison as they have Odegaard. City- Yes but that would be indulgent and Pep has said they aren't spending. Chelsea- would throw silly wages at Maddison and I could see them being willing to pay more but would he see them as a good project? Spurs- think they will target other areas, doesn't really suit their system. Liverpool- I think Maddison would be an amazing signing for Liverpool, perhaps an alternate to Bellingham. Man United- They should be looking at him but they have just signed Antony, Casemiro and Eriksen and again there's talk of a lack of funds. In short, if we have done our work, we have as good a chance as any. We'd have to make him our top earner, I suspect.

See if we can unsettle Jarod Bowen while we are on.

To be fair Krafth was allowed to go back to Sweden for home comfort while injured. Wilson and Maxi have done similar. If Isak isn't around, it's not a major issue. He's a young lad. Once he's fit and back with his team mates, everything will come together.

Howe has already hinted at strengthening in January. He said something along the lines of having discussion in the coming weeks about a plan for January. As always, we should be trying to clearing a few out; Fraser, Ritchie, Lewis.

I love them all. Don't worry Chris, when you have moved on, the streets will remember your contributions.

Howe: Legend Bruce: Chicken McLegend

If he continues this form, he will be picked for an England squad in the next 12 months.

Our target is 1.5 PPG and we are currently on 2 PPG. We are performing at 25% above our target for 7th.

With regards to Paqueta.... if we as NUFC fans have learned one thing, it's that the fortunes of a player can be massively hindered or helped by the coaching. Paqueta was never a West Ham player.

If we win this, I'm not be entirely convinced that we won't win the league.

I always find it weird when people talk about a stadium expansion or training ground build cost of 40/50m being alot but most clubs would happily spunk that on a player.

This is what I'm here for.

City look poor.

Had wondered about that. Cheers stifler.

We've had blank spaces on the sponsor boards in the stadium for months. Reading between the lines.... its a standard sponsor but we've been waiting for the PL to ratify it. I don't think it will be a shirt or a stadium sponsor but I'd bet my backside that whatever they are paying for sponsorship around the stadium is bigger than any sponsor we have ever had. Is it possible that we have binned off fun88 mid-season because of the world cup break? Unlikely, but worth exploring the idea.
