Pope said Isak has the hardest shot in training, along with Sandro. He also said everyone struggles to get the ball of Isak and Joelinton in training.

I really don’t get that line of thinking? Not taking the first home game after making history ‘seriously?!’ I don’t even fully buy into players half-arsing it leading into the cup final. But I imagine even subconsciously it will play a part. This is almost the opposite of that. If anything, the players should be playing with more freedom after a historic win and getting into Europe. Along with less fear of injury or suspension. Big Joe and Big Dan Burn need to go steady for another 4 games, mind!

Their team is littered with shithouses under Iraola. Awful to play against and to watch if it’s your team they’re doing it to. However. I find it hard to complain about that. As when we’re at our best, we’re very similar.

He’d be a right tit if he did choose to go there.

What about games in the cup when he doesn’t play? He gets rotated at times no. How would you enforce such a thing and prove that he’s been ‘dropped’. Sounds like bollocks.

Out of that lot, I’d want 100% want Bournemouth to win it. Fuck Villa, even though they are much more likeable these days. Same for Forest. Palace are fine, but they hate us and just because of Pardew, they can fuck off and all.

Might go back for a 3rd rewatch now. Recently did the same for The Sopranos. So it’s only fair!

I’m sort of similar. I cling on to my 1/4 North East bloodline (Durham, not Newcastle) and it’s always been a badge of honour. Even when we were shit. Which has been for roughly 80% of my life

Has Henry Winter always liked us? I always thought his articles were a bit anti-NUFC. But I’m sure in more recent times he has seemed sweet on us. Just heard him on Talksport there with Custis, who despite being an NUFC fan, I’m not a fan of. Winter was very complimentary, positive and thoughtful with his comments.

Urgh. That cunt Yates for the scabs and all. You knew the 2 Brighton lads were missing. May as well have told Sels where they were hitting it

Just keep thinking of Ciro from Gomorrah whenever I see or hear from Howe. Eddie L’immortale

Bruno is just like a kid that’s had too many e numbers. Probably has the amount of chocolate and sweets he says he likes to eat

I wouldn’t say I can’t stand them. I’m sure they’re nice lads. But they’re whole schtick is a bit crap and basically every show they’ve ever been on is terrible

Bruno claps like that famous meme of the guy that forgot he had broken all his fingers.

Tindall always seems a bit socially awkward. Even more so on a stage in front of so many. That or he does way too much powder

Corr. That music sounded a bit ropey

Only seen bits on insta. Looks absolutely mental.

Same. Missus was out. So watched it all on ITVx. Celebrated at the full time whistle again

I’d rather City win it to keep more Europa slots in the league.

Not surprised to hear Hall say Osula might be the quickest at the club. Did you see how fast he ran on the pitch at full time in the final?!

Worth remembering they are very different personalities, as well. Isak has the nickname Ice Cold/Iceman or whatever it is. He seems quite quiet at times and not too emotional. Then has the odd outburst when he scores or when he is having a go at the ref or someone. I don't think Bruno would be a very good poker player. It's out there for all to see. Isak seems like a much more reserved and chilled sort of character.

I hate to use a Sky Sports football pundit sort of term. But that is the definition of 'swaz'. Fades away at the perfect time.

There were people on here advocating for Wilson starting ahead of him. Or shifting him out wide or to 10 to accommodate Wilson. When we finished 4th. The way both were playing and scoring. It wouldn’t be as ridiculous to suggest we play both, TBF. But Wilson starting ahead of Isak is just daft.

Just a cool £200m dropped there.

Is this a friendly? Why is he playing 90 minutes FFS.
