I think people are forgetting when he was replaced with Pope it wasn't for lack of effort, commitment or decent performances. He saved our bacon on plenty occasions, so I understand his frustration. I'll even be the first to admit, I did not see sense in the Pope transfer initially, because I thought it was just a side-step rather than an upgrade, but I am glad to have been proven very wrong. Many of us at the time were more than happy with Dubravka to stay as our number one and knew that there were more important positions to fill ahead of another GK (but competition for the GK spot was still down on the list). Replacing Miggy (and signing a capable backup to Wilson), well before his freak transformation this season, was at the time, the biggest priority transfer that comes to mind. Obviously Pope went on to show that it was correct to have him as our number one, but look at it from Dubravka's perspective - you have the likes of Murphy still getting game time, albeit different position but you'd know who you'd rather see the back off first - why play second choice and see massively limited game time considering his dedication and efforts to date/by the time Pope joined. If he is happy to play second choice and fight for his place - good, he's a perfectly capable keeper on his day, if not then 100% sell and make a profit or use as a bargaining chip to get Maddison.

Today was one of those days when you need to see someone other than the usuals scoring Burn is a great defender but offensively weak. Botman could really do with a goal soon as well. Wood was his usual self, you just know its more hope than reliance you'll ever see him scoring. Trippier's crosses were hot and cold today, although he crossed a few decent ones, overall it was slightly below his usual standard. Longstaff's habit of skying it when the ball comes to him in or just outside the box on show again today. Frustrating but still brilliant to be in our position.

okay its back thank fuck

And the biggest names in the game

Burn is very reliable as a defender but I would rather see Targett as he adds an attacking dimension Burn is not capable of

That was as bad as whatever those weirdos call a "sloppy joe"

> Buy biggest sporting event > Host World's biggest sporting event > Invite the world to your country for biggest sporting event who otherwise practically have no interest in going to your country in an attempt to showcase your position on a global scale > Ban alcohol days before start of biggest sporting event Why host a world event (that you were never originally prepared for) if upholding conservative values ranks higher than fan experience for anyone that isn't local or of that culture? I understand if this was a local cultural or religious event, but it isn't. Think the only folks that will come out saying they enjoyed this one are the locals and fans of countries of the same culture.

I briefly but unfortunately lived in Sunderland (fucking pits of a place - like taking a time capsule to the 90s), highly doubt most of its local inhabitants can point Yemen on a map, or even know of its existence. The only outrage there is when you're refused to buy white lightning and Carling before 9am.

Such a clean clean bastard Composed, smart, physical but not in an clobber ogre style of defending. Overdue a goal soon too.
-
Wood will score the crappiest goal you'll ever see. Gut instinct.

Offsigh off sighhhh

Shiiiiiiiiiiet. Nee rivers is nee good. Reminds me of Champo seasons

Who's your next Messiah Villa fans? The fucking woodwork maybe. Man of the Match for them tonight. Always love beating these weirdos.
-
No fuss defending but so effective. Very classy and intelligent.
-
Fantastic result - could have easily won by more than that scoreline. Makes up for the Bournemouth draw and the Palace VAR farce. Longstaff was the weak link today I thought. Finishing the weekend top 4 and getting closer to January, its looking like a really solid season ahead if we keep this up!

Leeds have played some decent football at times this year and I don't think you can do much more with that squad to be honest They are 14th to 16th levels of quality at best.
-
Was at both the home and away fixtures for this last year Preferred the home one since it was Ashley's first game gone but not much else inspiring that day Sadly I think it will be defeat again but a more respectable one. Can see us not having Isak and St. Maximan affecting us here. 2-0

True definition of a bargain Don't think any of us expected this level of player when he signed
-
That was dogshit. Keep the stats and all the other excuses. You can't justify not winning a home game against a promoted side.

Fucking hell, the year I started supporting NUFC. This bump is like opening the curtains at 6am in the morning.

I don't know why players love a fucking lob from so close one on one Just play it left or right man
