Ronaldo

Only one sticking out for me and thus far unmentioned is Wayne Routledge. Absolutely took the piss in the Championship then was inexplicably disposed of for Obertan who was a far lesser winger. A decent - good player.

Not with Pope in goal it wasn’t.

I think the vast majority would agree with me re. Schar and Botman, but whatevs if you want to randomly make it personal.

Sure. Without him we’d be playing Almiron, which raises even more questions. Murphy has been a model pro and has contributed, but he absolutely shouldn’t be starting.

No chance. Not in a million years.

I just don’t know how we’re in 2024, 3 years after the takeover and talking about (almost 30 year old) Jacob Murphy starting the first few games of the season on the right of a front 3. I don’t know if you can put it down to a lack of boldness, planning, ambition or whatever but in context of the clubs we’re trying to finish above its amateur hour. Same with Wilson still being 2nd choice striker.

He’s pretty two footed from what I’ve seen, to be fair.

Fairly obvious the insinuation was captain long term, not for a couple of games.

Something’s gone wrong if he’s still starting for us.

I just don’t get why this is still acceptable. A player who repeatedly cannot contribute and as a result our best player has too much of a workload. It’s actually outrageous.

You say that like he doesn’t deserve hatred.

Depressing af that, mind.

Rice, Kane and Foden all had a really poor tournament. New manager, new ideas needed. Need to go foreign again because the list of English candidates is absolutely woeful, Eddie aside.

Sorry, how the fuck is a match fixing official refereeing anything let alone a semi final of the Euros?

I 100% remember reading that belly quote. Up there with Barry Chuckle caught sexting.

We’ll get nowhere with a 32 year old Wilson as backup. He’s just not remotely reliable.

Where’s that article about the woman who slept with Ronaldo and Phil Mitchell and said the latter was a jelly belly but bigger in the trouser department?

He’s been a petty little toddler all his career but you’d think at almost 40 he’d have grown up a bit.

Good Lord. By the time Milner was Anderson’s age he had 13 premier league goals and you said he was awful awful awful. Anderson has 0 and you’re saying he could go on to have a career like he is and hopefully come back to NUFC. You’re an amusing mofo, I’ll give you that.

Fuck Slovakia, as poor as England were. They’ve been an embarrassment all tournament with their playacting and head the ball of a manager. Very glad they’re out.

The LB situation is such a mess. Trippier ffs. I don’t even want him starting in his best position for us next season.

No issue with the fans being pissed off mind. 4 games of diabolical football with players out of position playing at an alien tempo and rigidity. It’s genuinely beyond shit management at this point.

£35m is absurd but fair play to Forest. Chris Wood has obviously put a good word in.

How do you replace Schar? How does one even go about that?

Had a good pre-season, some decent games in the league. Don’t see loads of talent there if I’m being brutally honest, so not hugely fussed.
