To be fair, that's literally what I said.

Appreciate everything Mandy and her fella did for the club. Without her there would be no takeover, no survival and no Champions League. However, it does appear that our transfer business under their watch was completely unsustainable and left us in a bit of a mess. It seems it was time for the club to continue it's evolution.

By asking difficult questions.

I think it's because fans view PIF the same as they would a company or a corporation. They're a sovereign wealth fund who fund domestic and international projects (with the former taking priority). Do the four Saudi clubs under ownership need a budget to raise the profile of the SPL? Done. Do NUFC need cash to assist them become a more valuable asset? No problem. I'd be surprised if there's that much joined up thinking going into it. Al Nassr will be given a budget and the club will do the rest. The same as NUFC. PIF are passive investors, while Eales, Mitchell, etc run the show.

We're looking rather thin on the ground.

Another rousing atmosphere by the sounds of it. May as well get the new stadium built.

It's very rare to see an obligation not met mind.

Feel sorry him in terms of the lack of squad strengthening.

Are there any players that you don't rate?

It's been a strange old season, but in terms of poor performances, games that really stand out: Fulham 3-1 Newcastle Newcastle 2-0 West Ham Palace 1-1 Newcastle Brentford 4-2 Newcastle Newcastle 1-4 Bournemouth Newcastle 1-2 Fulham We've shown that we'll bully and outplay the cannon fodder or poorly coached sides of the league and we'll raise our game against the teams competing in the Champions League spots, but there's been a strange gray area, filled with rank poor showings. We have really struggled against (generally midtable) organised sides, who aren't physically intimidated by our press and have found ways to get at the back four. As well as being outplayed, these performances have typically appeared low effort and lethargic, with us descending into a tactical mess as the match progresses. It's getting to the stage now where I'm more confident going into Man City away than I was today What's causing it? Fuck knows, but it's becoming a theme this term. While I'm sure it's another challenge that Mr Howe will overcome, it's frustrating when we're in the thick of competing for the top five.

Willock was a disgrace when he came on.

Clearly he doesn't trust those options to impact the game, he was proven correct if that is the case.

You can guarantee we won't have any issues getting up for it v Arsenal. It never seems to be an issue v the "bigger" sides.

It's been a strange old season. We actually look more organised and fluid away from home these days than we do at SJP.
-
Didn't really change the pattern of the match mind. He doesn't have many game changers at his disposal.

It'll be a double-double game week if Liverpool beat Spurs.
-
That feels like a coup.

City negotiating for Nico Gonzalez.

Tomori was great in Milan's title winning season, but he's struggled for form since. Don't really get the hype.

Can anyone access this?
-
To be fair, we're almost certainly not going to sign anyone. We've been briefing as much since December.
