Twice.

Also I think those who would be tempted to give him some abuse will be long gone at the final whistle. Think the reaction if he was to come on to play wouldn’t be the best mind. Anyway he’s been dead to me for a while. Comfortable with him being sold especially abroad which we should’ve tried to achieve with Isak.

A) Doubtful. B) If sensible he’ll just merge in with the full squad. He does have delusions of grandeur so if he approaches them solo he might get a bit of a surprise I’d imagine.

Andy Griffin and Rob Lee fairly damming of this signing tonight along with Nick.

Andy Griffin and Rob Lee fairly damming of this signing tonight. Along with Elanga.

Off top of my head as was a while ago… asked for recommendations. Would you move seats to be in or out a designated section etc… Basically what you’d expect.

Yes but the pressure is off if you still have Isak. Could’ve looked again in January and at very least probably would’ve got Wissa for the original £25m quoted. Anyone who knows anything about PIF will know they’ll of had to sign it off (Isak sale and Nick purchase).

Maybe because PIF told Howe all along they wouldn’t sell Isak only to crumble late in the window.

What I’ve been told also.

Until the fans go into “the club won’t get anyone decent low balling” stage followed swiftly by “just break the bank and give them what they want and get the deal done quick” stage We know how the window will play out let’s not pretend otherwise

No we didn’t. I’d say we wasted around £80-100m. Thiaw and Ramsey good signings and will be even better next season hopefully. Elanga would fetch £25m easily if wrote off. Wissa £15m. Nick £45m. Where do you get £250m from? Especially as we got £20m for Kelly from nothing.

God we must’ve really been PSR desperate that summer.

That’s why I thought Tier 1 would’ve been higher. As ultimately it’s going to lead to names in a hat which isn’t the most transparent.

This in short… You’d think we’d been getting battered off everyone all season the way the reactions have been this season. Barcelona 45mins, Liverpool 45mins, Man City in one of the cup games maybe 45mins and Brentford at a stretch 45mins. Those aside I felt like the team was in every game it’s played. Might’ve missed one as been so many games! My dad used to say Every team gets a heavy beating once a season, even the best of them when they don’t turn up from minute one. We’ve got pretty close to avoiding that.

You’ll laugh… And I’m going to test @AyeDubbleYoo memory on this one to back me up! Though I think I mentioned it on here also… …but I actually discussed Jaidon Anthony years ago when he played against us for Bournemouth at SJP and I thought he stood out a mile that day. We’d just signed Isak if i recall (and they’d just signed Anthony) so was probably his 1st or 2nd home game (always mix them up with Crystal Palace). Did Bournemouth sign him from Arsenal’s academy? Seem to recall Ian informing me of this.

Was in defence of a goal. Too many of you really look into football as some kind of exact science. As if days and days on the training field makes a difference to a full back that had just been clattered reaching the ball. The reaction in some quarters is mental but the blame game is society today more than ever rather than take a reasoned approach. I think it’s clear there is a lot of people on here just need a break from NUFC I think I’m the only one excited about the changes ahead. If you’d aren’t getting any joy out of it then just have a break. PS Fixtures are released in just over a month

Ditto. Missed opportunity.

Well he ain’t on the pitch Yes setups etc can play a part but by and large this season the fault has been on the individual players. As was today’s. So for one last time… what training would’ve prevented today’s?

I made it clear my point. What would extra training time do to stop today’s goal Nowt! Opposition teams do score goals you know.

That would be structure and shape. This was just one if not two individual errors. Bruno due to probably fatigue and not tracking the run fully and Hall being slow to closing/blocking the shot though in his defence he’d just been clattered moments earlier. What’s would you’ve trained better?

What’s training time got to do with the goal we conceded today? Talk me through it and your thought process.

All managers have to be in certain situations. Hence my points earlier today about not understanding why fans clamour for truth bombs. I disagree. If he had he’d not be on the bench. We just don’t want to have his value drop unnecessarily by creating a fall out situation.

We weren’t shite or listless today.

And your point is?

Maybe Arteta had a point about this ball
