Feel like we had bigger fires need putting out than signing someone to “give us more options.” I don’t like him, he is petulant and throws himself about, hopefully we go and do better elsewhere now before people do start shitting the bed

I’ve only been in a press room with Lee Ryder once and the utter disdain from his colleagues was heartening

I thought he looked class when Klopp first started playing him and it's been downhill ever since. I think being hauled off at half time in the first game of the season by Slot destroyed his confidence. Maybe a new start abroad will help.

Every match we started Anita, he lasted about 15 mins in central midfield before Pardew swapped him over with Perch, who to be fair was far more combative. Anita scored an unbelievable volley in Brugge, I think?! It's one of those goals that I've only ever seen once and can't guarantee I didn't imagine. Like Sibierski's mazy dribble away at Waregem. No footage of it exists so did it really happen? Obertan was absolutely horse shit for us until one day it clicked and he was mint for about 4 games, then snapped his hamstring at home to Liverpool I think it was and was basically done after that. Riviere was shit too but thankfully didn't get to 50 games.

Turns out they didn’t qualify, off to get my Kudus 14 shirt

Personally don’t think we’ll sign anybody off to the AFCON. It’s held in December this year (including games on Christmas eve) so would miss a key part of the season. I am way too lazy to see if Ghana are involved but I assume they are.

I'm not keen on him but I suppose he did thump Van Hecke in training, so I'm warming to the idea.

He is definitely right footed…

Definitely Baggio btw. Del Piero wasn’t all that in 1995

This happened and was on Look North. My Grandad used to record absolutely everything to VHS and that was something I’d not seen before. One day I will work out how to convert the VHS to something relevant

I don’t have a problem with it. UEFA structure their competitions as three levels and it makes sense that if you win one you move up to the next. Everyone knew the prize in September and Spurs won it, fair fucks.

Fair play to him for winning The Masters

Think he needs a long, proper break. Has effectively played the 2022/23 season (moved to us Jan 23), U21 Euros that summer, very small break to come to our US Tour, carried us for parts of 23/24 amidst injury mania, went to the real Euros, played nearly all of 24/25 along with a few injuries he’s probably still fighting back from. Throw in the alleged being offered to your boyhood club, having to sell his best mate to Forest and failing to sign his pal Guehi…time for a beach.

Actually fearing a heavy defeat now, damaging the goal difference. What a club man

Unchanged then?

They can show the Sunday games moved for Europa, not just the 2 games. If I remember correctly they can show pretty much any non-Saturday 3pm (if TNT don’t have it)

Is there a more unlikeable set of players than Chelsea? What a set of utter cunts. Thought the 5 at the back or whatever you want to call it worked well against 11. It’s anything but a defensive formation really and I suspect we will play it again next week unless Joe recovers. Once they went down to 10 I don’t think we knew whether to stick or twist and it was a bit messy. They played it well to be fair but without a centre forward it was rarely more than half chances. Burn was magnificent, easily man of the match for me. I thought we missed Trippier, not just because it would have saved us from 10 minutes of Murphy as a right back but he would have calmed everyone the fuck down in that second half. The front 3 were decent first half but hopeless in the second, it would have been useful to have a Willock type to freshen that up but nevermind.

Just listened to Olley's interview. Sounds like the whole thing is fucked to be honest, loads of players out of contract (himself included) and they are between ownerships so no sign of it getting sorted out. @CoreOfNUFC you seem quite on the pulse of most things, any idea what he is referring to about the disgraceful thing that happened in the "foyer of another club" last weekend"?

TNT picked it, it can’t be Saturday (They play Thursday) so for some reason they have put it at 12pm instead of 7pm like every other time this has happened this season

I think Trippier said to him to basically stand up as long as possible, presumably they practiced pens on England duty last summer.

Me neither and yet…

I’d set your expectations low for the entertainment at the Town Moor

Bland and these other annoyingly accurate Twitter accounts are all quoting Fender songs. I mean they might all be wrong but seems unlikely. Scenes when it’s “joining us live via Teams…”

So we are getting Fender and others…

I remember reading it and scoffing at the thought of an out of work previously seen in League One nobody getting Hughton's job. He'd just beaten the mackems 5-1 and Arsenal away, it was incomprehensible. Then Hughton got sacked and I thought I'd cash in only to find he was already odds on favourite. The bastards knew what they were doing like.
