This game is insane, we should be up 3-0.

That's a horrific miss from David.

HOW!!!!!!

FUCKKKKK!!!! We almost had 2!

Yes, fresh off the Neesy press . I don’t pay attention to Portugal’s coaching selections, forgive me, sir!

that’s amazing. Make the correct decision and get sacked.

If he keeps his mouth shut, he’d probably do quite well with Burnley.

Wirtz bodied him.

@gazza ladra feel like Eddie was protecting Hall and letting him work his way into the squad and starting line up. Look how good the lad was when he had Howe’s full support, trust and confidence. Mitchell seems to have a similar philosophy, so I trust them both completely until there’s reason not to.

It was Ashworth’s body language (yes, I know it’s a reach) and general demeanour that didn’t feel quite a fit to me. He literally couldn’t wait to leave as soon as Ratcliffe came calling. Eddie didn’t deflect or go out of his way to defend Ashworth. The working relationship felt very “you do you and I will do me”, whereas Mitchell and Eddie both had short careers, but are workaholics obsessed with the game and progressing their knowledge, ability, etc. I honestly think we got our guy and Man United got theirs at the end of the day. Ashworth suits them cunts and Ratcliffe, while I personally feel Mitchell is a better fit for us. Time will obviously tell, but I can’t wait to see what our northern scruff does for us.

While I was obviously quite pleased that we hired Ashworth to sort out the mess our previous ownership left us in, he didn't strike me as someone who was culturally suited to the club. I know it's cliche to trot out the differences between Southern and Northern England, but he gave off the impression in some video footage of awkwardness and that he was off on his own. It was also apparent that Eddie didn't think much of The Constant Gardner and I'm sure had his input to the hire of Mitchell. Mitchell's career from hard grafting pro to working his way up the ranks domestically feels more Newcastle to me. Even the clip of him, the guy screams northerner with that scruffy beard. Anyways, excited to have him on board and to see what impact he can provide over the summer and into the start of the season.

Nothing was panicked and our media knew nothing other than what they've obviously exaggerated or fabricated entirely. You are spot on. If this was still Ashley, I'd be inclined to believe more of what our media have to say. They get spoon fed whatever the club want to strategically leak to the press and good, that's the way it should be.

True. They are great on the counter, play some exciting stuff. Love these types of games, so insane, end to end like that is beautiful.

best game of the tournament.

Anything above 15 is more than fair in my books.

If you know, you know

It’s what we want from the Academy, no? Feels like this forum is going through a learning curve of post Ashely operative maturity. We still aren’t used to having nice things.

Gan on Alan lad!

How the fuck do Forest have wiggle room to take Anderson? Fuck the fucking Premier League, man. This day is full on madness. That said, looking forward to the window opening and some other players leaving + new arrivals. Onwards and upwards!

“Definitely panicking” getting £33mil for a player that never played for us. Okay, Luke, definitely were panicking. Who the fuck at the club would give this guy a modicum of information. Click clown strikes again. Silly season has come early this year!

some of your better work of late. I did enjoy your effort in the Wilson thread tbf.

He's going on like we're still run by Ashley and Thumbheed is at the helm. I just wish his face wasn't so grating to look at or his writing tone so matter of fact when it's been previously proven he gets fed crumbs. I get it's the only way he can earn a living, so credit to him for remaining employed. ☝🏻this is my thinking. PSR and FFP are complete shit, but I'm kinda enjoying the drama of this, the reactions on here are more entertaining than most of the Euro.

They’re a damn good time, though @Mike.
