Hope Crooks is still in the game in his 80s, can’t imagine what he’ll start coming out with as he gets older as he’s already set a high bar

What is the point of supporting a team if you are a cam_NUFC of this world? Obviously it’s just an outlet for your anger at life

No one should be getting dog’s abuse in the stands. On here, people should be allowed to say what they want in terms of actual criticism of player’s ability, no point calling any of our players a cunt though. Actual insults should be reserved for awful people like Ashley, Keys or Lee Mason. Every player is going out there to try their best, just so happens that Murphy isn’t good enough and on top of that he’s in poor form for him and low on confidence

Need to get one of the big refs in for an interrogation who can rat them all out in exchange for a new identity

Agreed, I would prefer for us to have a player with greater attacking quality in spite of weaker defensive contributions long-term but Miggy is a great squad player. He gets shown up more in games where we lack creativity like yesterday, though

They’re not going to have much luck getting a one-year contract extension out of him if this continues

As punishment I’d like Jon Arne Riise to have 100 shots from ten yards at Lee Mason’s exposed balls

You missed out Joelinton so I’ve chosen to ignore your post

Hadn’t realised Kalajdzic had done his ACL, what a disaster for him

I think it’s partly / largely what Interpolic said earlier on in the thread that it’s maybe not out-and-out corruption but to do with pressure and scrutiny from the big clubs that bring in the most money. These Refs will be thinking, if I fuck this up then they’re going to blame who wins the league on me, compared with, if I fuck this up, this smalltime team might finish 16th or 18th, but they don’t have the fan base, the money or the media clout for it to rain down on me too much. That won’t necessarily be a conscious thought process but it will massively influence their decision making

Lee Mason has 15 years of PL experience and made that VAR decision yesterday. Let that sink in

Europe is gone? Off to bed lad

No thanks, Eddie for the long-term please

He’s had a lot of backing like, when you consider his performances, just don’t think he’s ever looked a premier league player (apart from thinking his pace and youth might turn him into one a few years back) but he’s gone backwards in the last 12 months

Wew

That was the point I was making, the issue is with the refs but all that VAR is doing currently is adding in extra time to games and taking away immediate enjoyment regarding goals. They can’t even get offsides right. If you can’t get an offside right, what’s the point

Bruno elevates every other player in our side, but especially the midfield and forward line, don’t think he particularly enhances Joelinton’s game over others but he takes the pressure off because he’s naturally creative whereas that’s not really Joelinton’s game

VAR equivalents work in Cricket and Tennis because they’re fast, take place in natural pauses in play and they get the decisions right every time. VAR in football takes an age, gets decision just as wrong and there’s no accountability. Id sack it all off but we’d still be left with the incompetent fucks we have at the moment who invariably gift big decisions to the top six

No doubt he will get minutes in the CL but PSG have destroyed four of the teams they’ve played and he’s still barely gotten any minutes, not a great start to his loan there

Think he was probably just feeling it from the Liverpool game. He gives as much if not more than anyone else game after game, rarely misses games and plays the full 90. I still think he was great defensively, just not so good offensively with his passing and link up

Ekitike’s racked up 35 mins of football so far this season. At his age you need to be playing games as much as possible, merde

Yeah, we’re getting a lot of headed goals this season or goals from head flick-ons. Botman will be the best target, Lascelles too when he plays, Burn should do more with his head, Joelinton is good in the air, Anderson seems strong in the air too and I expect Isak will get stronger too, he has a good header to set up a chance today

They’re the original dickheads of the league, oligarch comes in and transforms them by literally having a blank chequebook due to a life of corruption. They’ve been run in the worst possible fashion with no thought whatsoever about sustainability and Boehly has come in to pick up the torch. Good thing VAR have them the points though today, wouldn’t want all that money to have gone to waste

This is a good point, he needs to look for the easiest pass whenever there’s pressure and when there’s space to run, he needs to run with the ball and then when the pressure comes, release. It’s as simple as that with his technique

I don’t even know if it’s bait, think Maze is just a bit odd
