Thats an absolutely brilliant goal. What a tocuch.
-
Was just looking up Lyanco as he looks like the least Brazilian footballer ever and his surname is Vojnovic. Makes sense
-
Reallu enjoy watching Forest. Quick on the break. Hope they stay up, PL is better off with clubs like them
-
Its all good either way on this one. A loss of form for Brighton bodes well for our fixture against them. A Brighton win sends Everton further to the abyss.

Leeds United vs. Newcastle United: 13/05/23 @ 12:30 (BT Sport)

I hope we move Isak back centrally. If Longstaff is fit, Joelinton moved further forward on the left. If he's not I'd bring in ASM -
Rice was outstanding against Man Utd like. Think he'll end up at Man City next season if Pep wants him.
-
The penalty shout came from a well worked corner routine tbf. Its balls into the box from set pieces we seem to be lacking from.
-
Never known a player hit the woodwork so much as Murphy like. Strikes the ball well a lot of the time, just particularly unlucky.

Piss take how easy Man Utd and Liverpools run in is like. -
Arsenal deserved to win. They were just more cutting. Thought they gave us a lesson in midfield, Jorginho and Odegaard were brilliant. They cut through us several times and they're a quality team. The time wasting and gamesmanship are by the by, we're masters of it and while its enraging when its against us, it shows how far we've came. Having said that, i'm not too disheartened. Today could easily have been very different. If you're going to win against Arsenal, you need to take your changes, its as simple as that. Willock and Schar's chances were howlers. They should have done so much better. Both Isak and Murphy were unlucky to hit the post, if either of those go in it could be a wildly different game, but they didnt and thats how it goes. We seem to have a habit of absolutely flying out of the traps in both halves, then if we dont score, we seem to drop off a bit, lose some intensity and allow teams to grow into the game. I'd like to see us control the game for longer periods of time. I still think we'll get the points needed to finish in the top four and im normally a negative cunt. I didnt see anything today that suggests otherwise, we we're just beaten by a better a better side in a game of fairly fine margins.

I don't get why he's getting caught in possession so much recently. When he first came, he was flawless on the ball, at a time when adjusting to the league and you'd expect him to get caught out more. Anyway, he's still class. Poor today and absolutely schooled by Jorginho and Odegaard but it doesn't change anything about how important he is for us.

Got to take your chances at the end of the day.

Their first fucking attack man

Its a nice pub tbf. Didnt realise it was even there until about a year ago.

You've not been exiled very far

I know Naismith has come in and wants to use his players which will be there next season and hes obviously under no obligation to play him but it does seem short-sighted to not give him any minutes. Especially in games when they're 6-0 up like. You'd think Hearts would want a decent relationship with Newcastle, given our trajectory, the likelihood of us having a lot more talent to send out on loan and their proximity to us. Send a youngun to Hibs next time.

The Managerial Merry Go Round™ - Ancelotti to Brazil
Doctor Zaius replied to cp40's topic in Football
Its just the classic tactic of trying to take the pressure off the players by having all the attention on himself. Mourinho and Ferguson were masters of it - though they didnt look half as undignified as Allardyce. -
Co commentator is an absolute fool, who is it? Be a travesty if this Liverpool side get top 4. Blatant dive by the Peri-Peri Andy Carroll
-
Would you want him? I know it sounds outrageous to say. He absolutely cannot press, which is a huge part of our game. Adapting to a new league at 36 would be difficult for anyone, even the world's greatest ever player. Admittedly, I haven't seen loads of him over the last year like.
-
I know we're in absolutely no place to talk, but does Messi really have to go to Saudi? Like, what's the point? Do you need the money?
-
Our form and us potentially finishing in the top 4 this season is an absolute game changer. To be well ahead of schedule, having broke the so called top 6 allowing us some financial parity and more leverage for commercial deals is massive. If we'd finished 7th and the likes of Spurs and Chelsea had good seasons, I dont think it would have been half as impactful. The importance of this season might well be looked back on for years to come.

Lovely pass by Maddison. This Leicester team is full of talent like.

Come on you foxes

Absolute delirium in that away end like. Unbelievable scenes scoring 5 away to Everton. We were really clinical, they were blunt. Thought Willock and Bruno were class. Back four quality too. Isak outrageous for Murphy's goal too. There's just so much to like about this team I really do want Everton to go down, but not for long. They're a proper club.
