Bizarre to say the least, extremely unfair on Howe to be put in that sort of position. I understand that they want someone with a position of influence to do something but that’s not Howe’s responsibility, he’s a football manager and it’s pretty disgraceful to put something like that on him

Can’t see that that’s a bad thing in all honesty. If there’s no accountability for significant errors then what’s the point? Could essentially amount to corruption otherwise. If the quality of refs on VAR isn’t good enough it needs scrapping until AI can do their job for them regarding offsides etc

Aye, he often commented positively on us. Was such a lovely lad

Just awful, poor lad

Alan Barnes, this is your moment. This is your perfect moment

I’d take a win, hope we humiliate them and Klopp does his raging smile reaction and then loses his shit in a press conference

Good to see, hopefully leads to some proper change in officiating standards. VAR needs this sort of decisive action now otherwise it has no future

Henry 100% should be on that list, genuinely phenomenal player

Agreed. I actually really liked his game, it’s an enormous skill to read the game like he did but it’s just odd looking at his name against some of those other names

Ronaldo was my favourite footballer all through my youth and then when Messi came along they’ve occupied top spot together. I don’t really remember Adriano that well, was his peak extremely short lived? Got no idea how Larsson or Inzaghi even make that list

It’s actually insane, feels wrong. Are we going to get stung by some sort of investigation in the future for doing business with Forest? What is going on there?

Forest are class, hope they stay up long-term as they’re a hilarious club

Can we not bus a bunch of hungry Geordie kids into Wembley on finals day and get them to form a perimeter around Rashford on his way into the ground?

Personally think it works in our favour, SA won’t want anyone upstaging them from their backyard. Not that I relish us being involved in a dick swinging contest. Just want to enjoy football without all this shit going on but obviously they’re inseparable these days

Leicester are in the best form of their season but I guess you can probably afford to lose points in the league if it means strengthening your lineup for the Barca game and the league cup final

Is this serious? He wants it until the end of the season? Or for longer? Could actually see them going for him until the end of the season

Wish Rashford would go back to being a bloody good lad off the pitch and focus his efforts on that to the detriment of his football

Running out of leads

Can only imagine the liquid football is referring to diarrhoea

Wonder how much Gnonto would go for if Leeds get relegated. Not expecting them to now that Bamford is back for them. Gnonto wouldn’t be a priority position for us by any means but he’s such a great player

I think we’ll win, Isak to score and surely we have to score from a set piece soon

I said all through that season that we were lucky as fuck and our football was awful. The general consensus on here was “it doesn’t matter because we’re picking up points and wins”.

Might be my last post in here for a while as I hate these sorts of circular debates where no one has any intention to change their opinion but did you watch all our matches that season?

He had the best squad ever assembled under Ashley. He’s probably still the manager I hate the most from my lifetime supporting the club. I know some have gone for Bruce these days but it’s still Pardew for me

He was a total dickhead, essentially had the character of a politician (a grubby one), never taking any responsibility himself and bigging up his own achievements. It’s been done to death in here but the football we played that season was actually awful for large stretches and I said it at the time on here. We had several players who were in the form of their lives all at the same time. Fair play to him that he got a 5th placed finish but if you look at both our football that season and his managerial record, you can see it was a massive outlier
