Does he slap him in the face?

If they’re playing that giraffe every week they’re fucked.

Pete was always a massive weak link on there IMO. Really frustrating when the resident NUFC fan is the only one who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

True Faith the best of the lot IMO.

I think we’ll play well on the whole but Shelvey and Lascelles will get the run around, we’ll draw/lose, and everyone will be calling for them to be replaced.

It ended in disaster, but the football was great after those initial few games while he turned it around.

Wasn’t it in a combined 11? They used to LOVE those.

Ask him if he’s an icon or a legend.

At Everton a lad turned up after 37 minutes. Went for a pint on 43

Great quote that.

Welcome. Expecting a much tougher game against you than Everton, they were pretty hopeless. We really need to win but a draw wouldn't be a disaster. Hoping Bruno gets his full debut as I think midfield will be key and Shelvey is too static against quick players. The atmosphere will be good again, it has been since the takeover, but it won't be as good as Everton IMO for various reasons.

I’ll never, ever forgive him for that. The 0-3 was the last match I went to with my Granda.

Agree with lots of this. If we’re unchanged I anticipate a lot of calls for Bruno to come in and Lascelles make way for Burn post-match.

I can help you out with that. It’s because he was really, really good. Stop ruining the ASM thread.

Did the flag look good? Looked class from where I was but I was underneath it.

Not so sure, think you have to be proactive and change before you’re forced to. Howe talks about one game at a time but he also said he likes to reward a winning team, which seems a little at odds to me. Anyway, again, what the fuck do I know?

They're completely beaten on RTG now and calling for all mags to be banned from the forum. We've only won a couple of games

And was then roundly applauded by everyone in SJP, having his name sung etc until KO

I would leave Luke Edwards for a skip, TBF.

I wouldn't be too peeved TBH, although I think it would be the wrong call, just don't drop little Joe. That said I thought playing Lascelles and not Bruno last night was a bad decision and I was wrong, so fuck do I know? Really nice having a head coach who knows more about football than me

6.5 after the transfer window. 5.5 now, I think we've made it look like a difficult but achievable task having previously looked like a nightmare. 5.5 because I think we're still susceptible to an injury crisis or some terrible luck with decisions/other results. All being equal though I think we stay up.

That seems to be what he's good at so makes sense to me? I think you give Bruno and big Joe the responsibility to protect and let little Joe concentrate on taking up positions to capitalise on them winning possession? 3 genuine box to box players excites me more than 1 or 2 nice long passes per game.

Counterpoint, you don't *need* a quarterback. Bruno can protect the defence and progress us forward without having to knock it 40 yards because he has other things in his locker?

Not for me Jeff, Willock is a real threat and carries it forward really well, he also has a history of scoring goals which we really, really need. I think some are going to be shocked at how competent we look in all phases with Bruno and the Joe's in midfield.

I appreciate this point but I do think it will be a case of 'what the fuck was I on about?' once Bruno actually starts and we see how much of an improvement he is.
