Ronaldo

Even injured he’s far better (and his presence frees up more space for teammates) than the alternatives. He’s got another 10 days / 2 games of football, not weeks and months.

Rice is indeed a terrific player and I’d be almost confident of a win with him missing.

Who on earth is suggesting Vardy? He’d be almost 39 years old. Fair play to him for the career he’s had but we’d literally be the laughing stock of the league.

Amorim will be in charge start of next season regardless. I hope you’re right though.

Remove the hugely important context and you’d never mention it again, man. It was a good save that a PL keeper needs to be making.

I assumed he meant the one right at the end that secured the 0-0 that was right at him. Wasn’t from JM mind so maybe different saves. Good save, but he lets that in and we’re all asking questions.

Worldie matches like Leicester at home? He made one save that he probably should’ve saved. I understand that it gets highlighted because of the importance but come on. He’s a good goalkeeper no question but he’s not elite.

Agreed but he’s not a work-rate player so he’ll always been a bit of an easy target when his quality isn’t there either. God even Laurent Robert got booed off and he was twice the winger Barnes is.

Championship striker? You’ve not seen much of him then. Outrageous take. Not that I think he’s amazing but he’s clearly already a decent PL striker who is only going to get better. If he was ours he’d only be one injury away for starting for the 3rd placed team in the league for a start.

In fairness to Howe, the subs are shit. The fact Miley was the best player on the bench today speaks volumes. He’s just turned 19.

God. 3 points away from guaranteed CL. Unbelievable. Brilliant times.

We need a couple of better footballers. I’m sure we’ll acquire them in the summer.

A 6 for Barnes? He was absolutely terrible throughout. Great win. Really good atmosphere in first half.

@Hovagod and @HaydnNUFC make some noise today. I’ve got the Gallowgate covered.

I meant to ask this a while back. Does anyone on here sit in the East Stand?

Conference. Sorry to be pedantic.

That was the case last Sunday.

As long as it’s not Conference League.

Agreed. Everton have eff all to play for last game of the season though and Arsenal look like they’ve been on the beach in the PL for a while.

Incredibly annoying that we’ve taken 2 points from 6 games against Fulham, Brighton and Bournemouth, like. All beat us at home too. Comes down, mainly, to our midfield three simply not having enough about them to break teams down through the middle. I’m sure it will be looked at in the summer but it’s frustrating for this season, as much as I’m OK with us finishing 6th if we can somehow keep Isak.

Can see City finishing on 69.

Lampard took them from 17th (in November) to 5th. He’s done an outstanding job there by any measure.

I’m amazed so many people care this much about a badge, mind. Who gives a shit? The club isn’t being renamed.

Not really. 4 points from our next 2 games will do just fine, however we get them.

Not even sure what that is, and I’ve already said I’d be more than content with Europa League proper if we can keep Isak. I’d love CL obvs.
