  1. Very nice way to start the season. Feels very weird looking at the league table and not seeing us rooted to the bottom.
  2. For some reason if you go to the NUFC TV link on the website it doesn't take you to the live game https://www.nufc.co.uk/nufc-tv/live/live-video/ Should work though, assuming you're using a VPN or are overseas.
  3. Brilliant punditry before the match from Owen, Gerrard & Ferdinand, each of who predicted a 2 goal win for Liverpool.
  4. Player of the Season: Joelinton Most Improved Player of the Season: Joelinton Most Disappointing Player: Chris Wood Signing of the Season: Bruno Goal of the Season (feel free to rank your top 3): Bruno backheel Game of the Season: Arsenal at home On the pitch Moment of the Season (we all know the takeover was the off-field most important): Trippier vs Everton Manager rating out of 10: Cabbage - 0, his replacement 10 Season rating out of 10: 8
  5. Flair players get a pass when they produce an end product. Score or create chances and people won't mind as much that you don't contribute when defending. Stop producing and that free pass starts to get questioned.
  6. A draw would have been nice but they didn't overrun us and didn't completely batter us, so those are pluses I guess
  7. There was no real hiring process with Bruce. Barnes & Penfold had contacted 10 potential managers about the job, all of whom had rejected the opportunity to work under Ashley's controls. They then did what they understood how to do the best - nothing. Luckily for them, for the 2nd manager hunt in a row, a manager contacted them about the vacancy. We got very lucky the first time around when Rafa offered his services. Not so lucky the second time when the guy asking for the job was Bruce. No one sought him out for the job, he was simply the only one who was interested in working under Ashley. He's basically Chief Wiggum.
  8. Fantastic win, very comfortable and professional.
  9. Nice win. Nervy 2nd half after a very dominant 1st but a win is a win.
  10. Great result, little bit of good luck & Bruno gets 2.

    You can't expect them to count them all properly, they'll lose their place after they reach 11 fingers.
  12. Embarrassing performance. Not a single player comes out of that with any credit.
  13. He was doing great whilst he had Derek Fazackerley working with him.
  14. Absolute shite from start to finish
  15. Desperately unlucky at the end. Chelsea were the 2nd best team on the pitch and helped massively by a crap ref.
  16. Nervy as fuck towards the end. Thought Shelvey had a pretty poor game by his recent standards. 3 points is 3 points though

    The Netflix doc did raise the status of lower league clubs. Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney watched it and promptly bought Wrexham. Odd that they weren't interested in the club at the heart of the documentary that they could have easily afforded.
