Unbelievable

Tell me about it

Apparently Ajax are after Tim as replacement for Cillissen who is Barcelona bound.

I wasn't around back then (not as a NUFC fan anyways), but I have trouble imagining all of them being worse than having a frigging billionaire owner who claimed he bought the club to have it challenge the top four yet managed to get it relegated instead, not once but twice, inside ten years leaching it for all its worth in the process. With regards to Ashley, keeping Rafa on board was a masterstroke in terms of taking the sting out of relegation and deflecting criticism for years of mismanagement which caused it, but if this promotion chase doesn't work out and Rafa leaves for pastures new it will be very interesting to see what his next move will be, and how the fans will react. In that era the ownership didn't have any resources at all, they weren't imaginative with generating income, just happy to live off the fat cat that was nufc, the one moment of any real desire to be anything more than what we had become was the Keegan signing. But once promotion was secured it was back to the old ways, selling our best players to build stands, employing bad and underqualfied managers, just eeking by, there was a reason why during that period we saw our crowds plummet, there was really little point going to the games. Seriously Ashley's lack of ambition in the past is nothing compared to that bunch. I will take your word for it, even though it sounds like the previous incumbents didn't really have the means to drive the club on if they so desired in any case, which can't be said for wor Mike sadly. I appreciate the Rafa signing/retaining is a rare sign of competence (brought about by the impending doom of falling off the PL gravy train), but the signing was too late and if Rafa isn't provided with the tools he needs and decides to walk it will all have been futile anyway.

It's going to be a long season isn't it? Hopefully this will wake us up. Dreadful start.

Stupid by Janmaat even though he was right

Oh come on ref

Howay Armstrong

Phew

WTF why Hanley?

Oh FFS Rolando

Excellnt sub

Nice move

Colback

Oh my God

Ritchie should score

Promising start to the season

That was so easy. Free header

Oh well...

I think the ref has believed it's ball to hand somehow. No way he missed the whole incident. Ball to hand with a hand raised in such an unnatutal position? Surely not...

I'm struggling to understand how all the officials missed that hand ball... Edit: what afar said

Give over man. As a partnership they offer absolutely nothing going forward or protecting the back four. It's like playing with nine outfield players. They aren't playing as a partnership though. They're not hand holding in the centre, agreed. Anita is a bit further forward and in right midfield. I would say Colback is in Anita's natural position really and both offer nothing where they are being played. In fact, the entire midfield isn't really working, and I don't think it's a coincidence with both of them in it considering we saw it most of last season.
