    Alexander Isak

    Henry scored 3 goals in 16 games for Juve, and Arsenal got him for a steal after…
  2. I’m not even sure where to put this, but what an utter fucking privilege this season has been. It’s not been perfect, but I’d never want it to be either - at a time it might be but I don’t think it’ll feel the same as this. Almost every game there’s been a moment to remember, there’s been hope since we took Forest apart on day 1 and it’s grown ever since. But I never imagined we would be here now. I feel incredibly lucky to have been there this season, more so to meet several people off this forum. Half cut this evening, but feeling full in all other context. What a fucking ride.

    Been watching us since 90… funny we were talking about the Willock assist and whether it was the best ever in the last game… that right there is up there with the best assists I’ve ever seen, and not just for newcastle

    Dan Burn

    I’m pretty sure he went jumping into the dugout when we scored our fourth. Not sure if any footage knocking around.
  5. 20 min match cam due shortly according to NUFC twitter
  6. Based on zero evidence or fact, I think if we had won there’s a chance we would have seen this season as mission complete and completely dropped off in the league. My blind hope is longer term the defeat was a blessing, we went again in the league, we get top 4, we use that to get the revenues, the infrastructure and implant ourselves in the upper echelons. It allows us to compete for the medium and long term. least, when I’m feeling super bitter I tell myself that at least
  7. Gotta be honest, can’t take much joy in that injury. Hamstring or calf tweak maybe, but if that’s the Achilles it could be worse than ACL and be a potential career changer.
  8. Just used my £10 free bet and seems to have gone through no issue at 100s with Betway, thanks for heads up.

    Anthony Gordon

    we were losing when he came on and winning when he came off. Isak said he made a big difference. MOTD highlighted the difference in the press when he came on. Think he had a good 45 mins, think he will learn from the petulant temper tantrum
  10. Amazing result and great 90 mins, loads of fun, but I'd be absolutely heartbroken if I was a West Ham fan and been moved from Upton park to that. Fucking horrendous from getting off the tube to getting home. Does not feel like a football ground at all, in the ass end of nowhere, lovely half an hour of kettling on the way back and just a shit end to an amazing evening. To have to do that every game as a West Ham fan, even when doing well, would be utter shit. I blame them a little less for evacuating on 80 mins, although shitloads were still stuck in the kettle by the time we got there after applauding the team off for 10 mins post-match. Wembley is 50% bigger with worse transport links and not even as bad.
  11. So rules are different in FA cup to league?
  12. I imagine there’s a risk that Moyes could be sacked, new manager comes in and plays him, signs new deal as getting first team football.

    Tim Krul at Falkirk always springs to mind
  14. I've got to disagree with the narrative that ASM gets a free pass. As is shown in this thread and others on the board, plus at the game, people are very quick to get on his back. Using the example of Longstaff only works as he's probably the one player out there who gets stick quicker than ASM, but some of that has to do with him playing like a fly half rather than a footballer with recent attempts on goal. If ASM had missed the volume of chances that Longstaff has in recent games, fans would be all over him. Not saying it's the right thing, but I'm sure it would happen.
  15. Not realistic but still possible to dream about - Arsenal have Man City to play twice, as well as Manchester United next weekend. Lose two and draw one and they could get pulled into the group, although second fixture against City not til April. European football restarts and they have a paper thin squad without a lot of signings in January, particularly now Jesus may be out longer than expected. Man City are fully focussed on winning in Europe and feels at times like they aren't even that bothered about winning league (which seems insane) while an injury to Casemiro (much like with us and Bruno, sadly) could have something of a derailing effect. Basically, not impossible, but if you've bet your house and are able to cash out at profit, I'd probably do that.
  16. Has Joe Willock always been announced as Joseph? Only noticed that today. Also calling Willian ‘Will I An’ was strange
  17. Joelinton just been driven in by Bruno
  18. We do seem to be in a habit of trying to rescue / finish off cup games with most of our better players coming on for substantial game time. Same against Palace. Personally I’d prefer we started a stronger team and made changes if/when comfortable. Having Bruno, Trippier et al coming on to supply Wood, when they could have been supplying Isak for 45 mins, is a little painful. That said, if we make it through on Tuesday then I won’t be too upset.
  19. Think Walker and Stones were signed by Guardiola
  20. I do feel VAR has made the refs even worse, mind. Think that pen is given today pre VAR, but they are so used to being bailed out so don’t make any decision remotely controversial. Either all VAR or no VAR for me
