Get in son!

The taps were all still there, so I'm assuming it's still going to be a bar.

It was mid-renovation when I wandered past on Saturday. Is it open again?

That Enciso goal gets better and better the more you watch it. What a hit, son!

It's a massive strength of his. He talks about it in the NUFC TV masterclass video with Given, how he tells himself he'll have one more big thing to do before the game is up. That was his one big thing.

Absolutely wild. We're only getting better from here on in as well!

Tripps for me, like. As well as we did last season in his absence, without him we're a different outfit. Big Joe and Fabs probably in at 2 and 3. Wilson would've had it if not for the torrid post-WC form. Honourable mentions to King Alex, Botman, and Neek Powp. Fucking hell, we're mint!

Probably a sign I need a new phone!

This kind of happened before Arsenal(?) this season because the speakers seemed to be buggered. It's really puzzling why everything has to be so loud. The fans should drown out the music, not the other way round. Have the announcer's mic on full-blast by all means, but keep the music low/off for that last 5 minutes before kick-off.

I think it's worked so well for him this season because Howe identified his strengths and how that could massively benefit the team. So rather than him being this limited footballer than runs a lot, he's now an extremely disciplined, highly-effective pressing tool. Because he's now so aggressive on and off the ball, he's finding himself in the box more often than he was under cabbageheed. They obviously did a load of work on this and his finishing over the summer which contributed to his goal glut. Confidence breeds confidence and all that. I'm chuffed at how it's all panned out for him, because he seems like a top bloke. (Very disappointed that we don't have a Miggy eye-popping smiley. Sort it oot.)

If only we'd given the poor bloke more time to put his stamp on the squad.

Bruno screaming at the Leazes in Portuguese as if we're all fluent after Burn's goal, man.

Aye, odd choice.

Felt like everyone in the Leazes was going absolutely bonkers, but it's understandable why those closer to it would've been nervy.

Isn't he still the PL's most successful corner taker? Swear he was until fairly recently anyway.

The Leazes end was mint as well last night. Just constant support, very little groaning, and a clear appreciation of how much graft was going into the performance.

WHERE'S THE MATCH CAM, LIKE?!?!

It's a shame Bruno pinched that chance off him after he'd just been clattered. Would've liked to see what he'd have done with it.

I'm all for teams having a clear identity/philosophy in terms of how they play, but it's arrogant/naive as fuck from De Zerbi. It's always going to be high risk, but when you literally can't get out of your half (like in the first 45 last night) you need to revert to plan B.

He was absolutely shitting himself when big Joe went for him after he tried to do him. I was even scared for the lad.

I thought he was actually going to score from a corner the more he took. He's got his set penis mojo back at just the right time. Hopefully he's areet.

Over the moon we put those box-passing nonces back in their box.

He was like a man possessed tonight. Ludicrous effort.
