Yeah, terrible. Don’t get why the club just don’t buy them all and cancel the ST or membership of anyone involved. Also criminal that those sites are allowed to facilitate something that is against the terms and conditions of the actual product they’re selling.

Definitely, in fact the media obsession with decisions is part of the reason we ended up with VAR in the first place.

Think his future depends on what he's being told by Man City. Could be he's happy to be patient and has been promised more games if X, Y, Z.

Guess you can get an assist by just passing to someone who does something class on their own. It’s not creating a chance as such.

Yeah same, and I definitely won’t want to see Gordon play up front too often, he’s been so good from the left. Especially with our lack of midfielders at the moment.

Very pointless selection but then we say this when every squad is announced. Hope Wilson withdraws.

Incredible if Arteta doesn't suffer any consequences.

Arguably yes, but we haven't done that and I don't think we will. My understanding of a multi-club model is really that they're more explicitly linked and actually have strategies in place for moving players between the two. Like Wolves had. The players that have gone to KSA have nothing to do with NUFC, seems just like speculation that they ever will. KSA didn't move players to their league in order to supply NUFC with players to circumvent rules or gain an advantage.

Tend to agree, but just to say that we don’t have a multi-club model and never have.

I’m not convinced we want anyone from Saudi anyway. And as we said in the summer, KSA will not prioritise us over the success of their own league when they’ve spent billions getting players there.

We could be playing in the Championship.

Definitely Jesus.

Not sure any PL club has 3 capable strikers TBH. Almost impossible now everyone starts with only one.

Jeez, forgot about Barnes completely.

That’s why his signing was so important. Or should have been.

Yeah Trippier had a bad game, thought Longstaff was completely out of his depth (but admittedly I notice his mistakes). We’re just operating in an environment we’re not quite fully equipped for, especially without Botman, Tonali, Isak and with Miggy and Gordon benched. No shame in it, we’ll get there.

Get in line! Actually maybe we don't play the same position.

If a red was available for diving they would just never give one. They're scared to even give yellows.

Think I prefer the two black stripes for some reason, the reverse looks too white.

I just don’t think target men like him want race with a young fullback. He’s looking for a chance to win a free kick.

He was going to get to the ball first so the striker went down.

Some ideas could be making it mandatory for attackers to try and continue. If they haven’t tried to stay on their feet then it’s not a freekick or pen. Or if the attacker moves into the contact it’s not a foul. Possibly moves the needle too far the other way, but you get what I mean. Really we’ve created a culture now where it’s impossible to judge what is normal behaviour, so it’s really hard to fix things from this point. In almost every other sport you try and put a brave face on and continue, in football crying at nothing is normal. It’s a very strange situation.

Amazed how composed he looks for such a young lad. Very good signs.

Today will be forever known as Eddie Howe day.

Lascelles was always better than people said. He has improved but he always had enough to be a good PL player. He must be living the dream right now, after all the shit he’s been through.
