Calf strain. Out for two games apparently. https://x.com/nufclc/status/1741875690599813374?s=61&t=kJE1AU_9T9TvzyV_ebeY8Q

Photo of him at airport doing the rounds FWIW.

Don’t think they are too bad. RB looks their weak spot.

2-0. Good work from Clarke. Looks a positive player though very one footed like Almiron. PNE very passive. Can see why their manager is under pressure.

Looks pretty full to me. 1-0. Pritchard with a great strike. Always had a bit of quality about him.

Taylor in charge… https://x.com/_footiescores/status/1741618550773526567?s=46&t=DDNXUN2PoOBhgKmoF77zNw

Or maybe not… ? https://x.com/skysportsnews/status/1741526136880828511?s=46&t=DDNXUN2PoOBhgKmoF77zNw

Ominous… ? https://x.com/skysportsnews/status/1741493321720025562?s=46&t=DDNXUN2PoOBhgKmoF77zNw

Yep. Same as last year. Remember calling it during their bad run last season only to be told on here they weren’t the same team and not capable of going on a run. Ended up doing a treble and then on to winning the World Club Cup ? In fairness will be interesting to see where Liverpool are after the ACON as they will miss Salah but will push them hard. Arsenal need a clever transfer window IMO.

Guessing that’s a no ?

Celtic should’ve been down from 11 to 9 men within a matter of minutes. Guessing VAR can’t suggest second yellows on either occasion?

Any rumours with substance doing the rounds?

Rice factor IMO. More solid less progressive.

Not sure but my physical ticket has just landed in post and it matches online account details. Will aim for 9:14am! ?

Buses collection/departing from 8:30/9:15am… Earlier than even I expected ?

He was never injured that much. Was available more than he wasn’t. Especially considering how flogged he’d been since arriving. In a setup when our press rate has dropped and we have a slender lead he would’ve been ideal for counterattack football. I’m also still yet to be convinced that his ability to beat a man isn’t better than our current pass around the outskirts of the penalty area approach awaiting a gap approach. If you don’t think he’d of been a great rotation/bench option this season then that’s your call but I politely disagree. It’s not a wummery. It’s a plan B or C at least if plan B indeed is to do plan A with fresher players. Wood I appreciate because of his time here will be a more divisive conversation and I don’t disagree we’ve moved on from him but yesterday was more akin of how he was used by Leeds whereas at the time we needed him to play more akin to his time at Burnley. Maybe the pressure we were under to survive got to him a little here in front of goal but couldn’t help but be pleased for the lad yesterday even though I was hoping VAR would intervene with his 3rd ?

One of them games. As an experienced campaigner you’ll know there tends to be one daft result on Boxing Day. Today it was at SJP. For 44 mins we played well and there’d be no arguments if we were 2 or 3 up but unfortunately we couldn’t get that killer 2nd. Forest had a great 20min spell both sides of HT but mainly 2nd after the 1st goal which allowed them to grow and see out the game yet we still could’ve snatched a draw with a bit of luck. Was always a defender of Wood during his time here so nothing to add here for those who couldn’t see what he brought to the team. Same for those wanting rid of ASM. Penny for your thoughts now…

Buy a home ticket and when you get there ask them to put you in the away end. Probably can just walk in (?) Can’t see there being a problem asking or taking it upon yourself as doubt there’s security and segregation (?) Or is the whole game sold out?

Guessing you need to attend to get the point or is purchase enough?

Loyalty point up for grabs… https://x.com/adamp1242/status/1738206336377094505?s=46&t=DDNXUN2PoOBhgKmoF77zNw

Having last week been understanding of the reasons Hall hasn’t had much game time due to certain game circumstances etc and also in turn the rare few minutes going to Ritchie I have to say I was surprised he didn’t get any game time at a ground and surroundings he’d be very comfortable in. Thought he’d come on for the injured Gordon or at very least the tiring Almiron. I read somewhere that it depends on where we finish in the league that it’s made permanent. So the performance conditions are team based rather than individual ?‍♂️ Maybe a FFP thing with us sailing close to the wind with it.

Just home… Was a great cup tie. Support was excellent throughout. Arguably a fair result on balance of play similar to PSG but felt equally as cruel after all their effort. Hopefully they use the disappointment in a positive way.
