I hope it's not that bad like That's Jeff Hendrick levels of desperation.

I'd reduce the age of players not needing to be registered to play to 19 or 20 too. And ban multi club ownership. And reduce the cost for tickets and subscriptions.

And only if they get him dirt cheap.

Don't know how many times people have mentioned the fact no other clubs have three first team strikers especially with Howe preferring a settled team over rotation how could we possibly keep three strikers happy to stay here? Even Chris Wood was outta here at the first opportunity once both Isak and Wilson were fit, and we were more than happy to sell him.

Quite different seeing if a player goes to a pub or club than what he is doing at home on his phone. Of course they do their due dilligance, but it is limited.

To my knowledge he hasn't taken any credit for the successes.

Giving you the benefit of doubt and say you are right in your assumption that many people outside of those directly involved knew about it - how should Nickson/Ashworth go about getting them to talk about it? Hire a private PI on our transfer targets?

I'm still to see anyone come up with a good argument for how the fuck he (or anyone else for that matter) should have known.

Was a no brainer to sign him permanently after the loan spell. Sad how things have played out with injuries.

Model professional. We won't be able to buy 100 players in the summer so needed to extend with some of the ones whos contract expired this summer. Glad Emil is one of them.

No way Toney comes here to be Isaks back-up.

Pope definitely is a sweeper keeper, and really good at reading the game. Main problem is that once he's come out and averted a chance, you can't rely on retaining possession unless he catches the ball with his hands. Usually ends up with pressure on our goal being maintained. Obviously still better than Dubs who is very uncertain on when to come off his line and when not to which in itself has created some dangerous situations. Still, Dubs is one of the more competent reserve keepers in the league. I don't really see the point in stating the obvious that Pope is better. Dubs is still playing at a level where we don't really need to upgrade, which is what many on here were adamant we "needed" when Pope got injured.

McTominay is the 2020's version of Kevin Nolan. Offers absolutely nothing unless he scores. Can see struggling premiership sides accommodate his faults for what he brings, but is he fuck someone you'd bring into a club trying to break into the top 4 Destination Moyes written all over him if he were to leave.

Liking our players is a luxury problem I hadn't really thought about during the takeover. I don't really want to get rid of anyone right now bar the senior players we have out on loan that still carry the Ashley stink on them. Understand we have to sell and replace to improve, and at some point probably have to be a bit cynical about it, but it's something gutting about breaking up what seems to be a fantastically tight knit group of not only players but friends that got us to 4th.

Feels like this season has been ridiculous in terms of late winners to the team I want to drop points. Need to stop turning on matches when I see the team I want to win are in the lead.

Wharton that Palace got from Blackburn in January looks like a decent prospect. Glad he's not playing against us in the cup.

This final is a bit lower-mid table PL-esque.

Meh. Was hoping for a draw, but if one team had to win, I'm glad it was Man Utd purely to increase our chances of overtaking them both.

Not one for the eccentric goal celebrations, but genuinely enjoyed that one from Luiz

Poor from Watkins there. Should have attacked the ball earlier.

Arsenal win over West Ham and draw between Villa and Man Utd surely?

How great have we been at set pieces lately? So many different and effective variations. Not sure if my memory is clouded a bit after yesterday, but feels like we've scored from corners or free kicks every other game for a long time now.

In hindsight, how fucking STUPID are Nottingham Forest FC for letting Turpiier receive and cross the ball for their first goal? He's taken 100% of our set pieces when available since he arrived here. First time he doesn't take a corner, the opposing team just let him have all the time he needs to receive and cross the ball? Nuno masterclass.

Maybe. Tavernier while good doesn't have the same pace as the last two wingers he's faced luckily.

Outrageous cross for our first
