  1. Love a good Schar-raid through the middle.
  2. What in the...how..how are we 15th!? We've had more negative / neutral net spend seasons since 12/13 than actual net spend seasons. Everton though
  3. Juventus, Chelsea and Liverpool linked as well. Better get Bruno and Joelinton on the job as it will take some convincing to get him here
  4. If he can manage up to 12 goals for Fulham next season that would be a great achievement. That's maybe enough to be among the top 10 goal scorers this season.
  5. If Man City can manage to bed Foden into their team, then surely we could for Elliot as well with arguably less to play for next season than any of the years Man City found time for him? 2017–18 - 5 games 2018–19 - 13 games 2019–20 - 23 games 2020–21 - 28 games 2021–22 - 23 games so far He's at the age where he needs to show he can play at this level if he wants to be a great player, so why not give him time ahead of Almiron, Murphy and Fraser? If we can't manage to give him any time on the pitch I'd prefer him going back to The Gas so he can help them get consecutive promotions as he seems to thrive in their team under Barton.
  6. Just watched a highlight video of him, and it really goes to show how much better we'd be as a team with a striker like that where the ball will stick when it's played up to him. Someone like him would be a massive upgrade not only in terms of goals, but also in the way we can play as a team when we don't lose possession 8/10 times the ball is played up to our striker.
  7. Ben Arfa debut vs Everton Ben Arfa casually putting Ronaldo & Messi to shame vs Blackburn Ben Arfa laughing at Weahs solo raid vs Bolton Shearer intercontinental missile freekick against Man Utd Shearer air bender vs Everton Shearer (Rob Lee assist) vs Aston Villa Laurent Robert vs Premier League Michael Chopra with resting heart rate vs Sunderland
  8. Brave run home by Phil Jones to keep Diaz onside.
  9. Technically we never let him go. We simply never signed him unlike Toney/Pogba. Theory is still intact.
  10. He'll be our Pogba. Left for a pittance, made a name for himself, brought back for 1000x the fee we let him go for and fail to meet expectations only to leave on a free in 5 years time.
  11. I know Couldnt help myself
  12. Played under SAF, lucked his way to a job like the 100's of other players who played under him becasue "surley they can replicate what SAF did", got a few teams promoted a century ago and still riding the wave that he's some supposed promotion expert.

    Kieran Trippier

    If there's no concerns about his health he will play, but medical team needs to be really diligent. Lots of players (or is it only our players?) who are out for a long time often get another seemingly unrelated injury shortly after getting back from the initial one. His bones being healed may not mean his muscles or tendons are ready for the strain of a PL match after being inactive for so long. I've also heard of players coming back from a long injury getting back problems if one foot/leg all of a sudden have to do more work than it used to etc so they need to take their time with him. He's going to be so important for us next season.
  14. What a weird thing to get hung up on A few games ago there was a stat shown on the screen that he had the second fastet top speed recorded that game for us so he's clearly not slow. He may not be the quickest, but it isn't something that puts him at a disadvantage like more limited players such as Cack, Ritchie, Hendrick etc who would benefit much more than Bruno by being physically blessed to make up their short comings. The guy seems to be elite level through and through, and a great person on top of it. Just enjoy him.

    Difficult to say from watching on telly, but I got the impression that he was clapped off the field, and the boos were for the cunt faced twat that came on?
  17. Agreed, but can't help but think we'd hear more from people of other clubs if our players that went out on loan were any good Regardless of reason, it's great to get updates from @North Somerset Gas
  18. Looks like someone drew a bird with a large beak and glasses
  19. CL finals with two teams from the same country is always boring imo, even if the quality of the game is good.
  20. He's allegedly on £130k now, and assume he'd be after at least a 3 year deal on more than that. Quite high risk for somone who's 30 this year and so reliant on his pace and physicality.
  21. Phrasing it as some sort of arrogance if you don't want XYZ player seems very weird to me. If we got Trossard in I'd welcome and root for him, but before it's a fact that he's here I want to see something new and exciting at Newcastle next season, young players with potential to be soley associated with Newcastle as we build a future trophy winning team. Trossard, Lingaard, Zaha we've seen them playing for years, they won't develop any further. They will marginally improve our team in the short term but none of them will improve us long term and will need to be replaced within ~2 seasons. Brennan Johnson may turn out not to be as good as them, but for now at least he has the potential to be much greater than all of them and unless he completely flops Ali Dia style we'd easily find potential suitors who'd take a chance on him due to young age and what he's done at Forest. If we got Zaha or Lindgaard in and they flop, who'd take a 30+ year old winger on +£150k a week off our books? None.
  22. Fair to assume people calling them twats because they ooze the vibe of dressing like that intentionally just to show off how little they care about what others think, rather than wearing the clothes because they like the style or comfort of them? That's my first feeling at least when looking at pictures people post of them on here, before settling with the thought that I don't really care either way and everyone should just wear whatever tf they want....and I don't know anything about which clothes are cool or trendy anymore. My only requirement for pants these days is that they need some sort of stretch material.
