Mattoon

Next weekend likely to be postponed too due to policing fears, apparently.

Regardless of what you think of the royal family, the Queen worked tirelessly as an embassador for this country for 70 years and was widely respected throughout the world. The ramifications of her passing will ripple through society, if that means a game or two of football is suspended then its not the end of the world. I'm not a royalist nor an anti royalist but take a step back and realise this is generational changing moment in time.

Proper smash and Zagreb tonight

Been deleted already but just had a quick look at the landing page and it reads like a post-it note book of shower thoughts, the number of threads was making my eyes bleed.

Gooch = Half way between an arsehole and a ball bag, rather fitting really

"Next time you're trying to screw over NUFC, don't make it so obvious, yeah?"

Plenty of chances to win it but with a midfield bereft of ASM and Bruno we lack any real bite in the final 3rd, service to Isak was pretty much non-existent, however he should have took at least one of his chances. 3 points lost for sure here, we were much the better side with Palace offering next to nothing in contention, another refereeing howler also. Can't help but feel robbed but we had plenty of opportunity to make that call irrelevant, only ourselves to blame.

Every....single.....game we're getting screwed

Anderson needs to come on sooner rather than later and I'd tend to agree on switching flanks with our wide players.

8/10 we've made some quality additions, Isak is a very exciting prospect and the additions at the back will see us solid to beat. Shame we couldn't bring any more attacking talent in. However, when all fit our starting 11 will give every team a hell of a game.

He was absolutely immense yesterday, no fear and really dangerous and to say he's not even up to speed with the squad yet nor played with the likes of ASM and Bruno I'm really excited for when everyone is fit, think he's going to tear it up this season.

Still raging about the dodgy offside call and the ridiculous decision to keep playing until Liverpool scored. Watched it with a Liverpool supporter and he felt bad watching it, should have been a draw, we didn't deserve to lose that and they didn't deserve to win.

Bruno should be back for this but maybe a little too soon for ASM, Isak starting we need to take an early lead before we start trailing off. Going to be a tough one but think we'll nick this.

That was absurd, fuck that ref

We need Anderson on, no creativity in this side

I was just going to ask where people saw him play, leading the line, just behind in Wilocks position or in from the right? Rumours I've seen is that he starts tomorrow, not sure on how true that is with Howe's track record of bleeding players into the side. I can see him playing off Wood.

He's smashed into a few of our players several times in the space of a few short minutes, ref gives a free kick every time but surely should have already had a yellow for the amount of fouls he's committed.

They've just been kicking chunks out of us all half and it took a double footed leg breaker before he put his hand in his pocket. This ref is pathetic.

I'd be tempted to give big jow a run out at CF I think he'd destroy these lot

Will this put to bed the budget argument now then? This might well finish Edwards off ?

Looking at the line ups I would think Fulhams only mission this year is to stay in the PL and can't really blame them for wanting to break the yo-yo club pattern.

If he was replaced he should absolutely stay he'd still be our best option from the bench, there's plenty of players that need to go before him.

Conjecture is opinion in the absence of fact, the fact is the official bid is the same as the verbal bid released by Romano yesterday, Howe spoke about a player that doesn't belong to him, Romano has 100% record for these things. It's an intelligent judgement, only you don't need that much intelligence to put this 4 piece puzzle together, I'm not sure what you're struggling with.

Romano has a 100% record, he deserves to be believed until he can't be. Romano clearly has the inside scope that the £30m including add-ons was verbally agreed and today we've put that in writing to get the ball rolling. Howe has to be diplomatic about it, he wouldn't say anything until it was signed, sealed and delivered. As for Edwards, he was wrong, he didn't know about the verbal agreement and gets to hide behind the fact it wasn't official. But it's a done deal and it was a done deal yesterday.
