We're sounding like the Newcastle of last September-October. Bit of a shambles in defence, bit tame up front.

Thought we'd go behind, but unusually for me think we'll recover

And there we go

Southampton to take a shock lead, we'll then recover for a scrappy 2-1 win.

They're watching Bo Selecta

Can we rename this thread 'NUFC Transfer Misery'?

Meanwhile Chelsea are looking to sign another fucking midfielder. It's sickening.

Sounds like we could have potentially signed him if we offloaded some dead wood. Unless Almiron or Kelly are shifted, think this window is closed for us.

The PL would consider this the perfect season to give them a points penalty - would likely mean finishing 14th rather than 9th

That's not true surely

So ground is several years away, training facilities at least three. Feels like an eternity

Yeah. it's essentially subsidised. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-62406154 https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/west-ham-london-stadium-taxpayers-e20-allen-overy-b1131440.html

Infuriating seeing West Ham so high up. How much of that is a result of the scandalous decision to practically gift them a publicly funded stadium?

We're absolutely miles behind Not even sure we can close the gap. The breakaway six established themselves just at the right time in terms of global expansion of the game and obviously before rules came in to neuter the laggards.

Much higher ticket prices seem to be the natural response to PSR rules. Owners can no longer subsidise clubs, so every revenue stream must be max'd out.

Hopefully building a small hotel which we can then sell to PIF for £100m and the club keeps the income Nothing on the planning portal, so nobody really knows.

Likely £10m for Almiron, £10m for Kelly and no incoming. Turning into an ambitious window that demonstrates our determination to avoid points deductions Praying Villa and Forest don't strengthen. No point being concerned with City, Chelsea - we can't compete with them.

Ouch. We'll struggle for a point from those three.

Southampton look like they're improving. Will be tough taking 3 points.

Best midfield in the PL my arse today

Well, they did much worse than a Brentford Have we also given another player his first hat trick?

We had this coming will all the hype. Hopefully it's just because we're knackered.

Not just that. It's Isak's ambitions. He'll want CL next season.

We were always going to run out of steam at some point. Bournemouth are a very well drilled team who can exploit our weaknesses. Just need to avoid them doing a Brentford on us
