Get the fuck in. Massive 3 pts for us even though we were shite for the vast majority of the game. Huddersfield were, unsurprisingly, fucking rancid. We gave the ball away so many times, any half decent team would have ripped us apart. All in all delighted Rafa put another one over that horrible fraud Wagner. Ayoze MOTM and if refs could actually ref he'd have added to his tally with that gorgeous little chip.

This cunt bankrupt yet? How likely is it that his wealth is seriously taking a hit and potential suitors know this and are trying to squeeze him? Nah. Didn't think so either.

They can go on about it being "different this time" all they like. IMHO it's all still a pile of steaming bollocks and Ashley most certainly will not be selling the club. If he were to ever sell it, I don't see it being played out in public like this. He has a stealth, almost under-handed, way of doing things. His connections to Kenyon are suspicious to me, especially that Kenyon's is the only name mentioned publicly anywhere. The only slight glimmer of hope I see is how much damage he's taking on the retail/SD side of things and may become desperate to raise the cash from the sale of the club.

Isn't there one anyway? Pre-match and all?

This. No doubt in my mind that dodgy shit goes on behind the scenes somewhere. The entire sport is rotten.

Nope. Yedlin's wasn't a cut & dry case. First of all his shirt was being pulled first and Lascelles had to have a chance of covering. Of course it was all Yedlin's doing in the first place (don't get me started on this useless sack of shit), but it didn't warrant a text-book red card at all. As for the elbow it doesn't matter if it was intentional or not (which it definitely was). It's a foul. You are impeding a player from getting to the ball. It happens to be in the box so it's a clear penalty. The shape of the left elbow tells me it was deliberate. Woke up this morning still seething. English refereeing and football in general is making me hate the sport. Maybe it's because we're not doing well as NUFC. Everything about it though is just substandard at the moment.

52 with Rondon and Richarilson left to play. Have 15pt David Luiz on the bench ffs. Also fuck Pochettino.

This. Black Cloud has a pretty solid ITK history tbf. At least in comparison to others on Twitter. Certainly more ITK than most journalists. Unfortunately it doesn't matter one jot if the interest is real, and progress is being made. Mike Ashley can turn all of that to dust in one fell swoop.

Weren't we just about to play Everton as well when Rafa said in the presser that we have to focus on the game and then "hopefully have some good news and the fans can celebrate"?

Did he get injured? Captained him this gameweek. yay me

Get him in the side in the number 10 position. He's a great prospect IMO, and I hope he gets to play 3 or 4 games before the end of the season. Loan to championship next season if we stay up.

Don't rate him at all but that's only based on his performances for us so far.

Rafa's or Mitro's? Either way could you sum up please?

Any word on his injury?

What are the chances Rafa will play 3 at the back a lot more often this season?

Just for the shits and giggles, if some PL team wanted Dummett, how much would we value him at? 8m? 10m? 15m?

Considering he's an experienced international and knows the league (probably the language too), it's a far better deal than Marlon that's for sure. Still paper thin in midfield, no left back, no backup right back, no real number 10. Shambles.

Loan Loan Blannwhite Army

I'd probably rather we signed Joan tbh. Harper for me like

Maolida, Jullien and N'Soki and I'll be placated.

20M? 110M and not a penny less.

Oh that's right. ffs

Is this oxygen thief the last of what has remained of al pards' legacy?

Not read what's been said and not up to date with the news, but from the snippets I've seen, Ritchie out and Townsend+Kenedy in would represent great business.

It's the rampant consumerist culture that makes them (and their agents, PR teams, sponsors etc) do the crazy shit. Getting sick of it all tbh,
