I’d imagine any Prem club now will just be asking for a minimum of 50% above market value for their starting striker. Due to it being so late in the window and clubs knowing we are desperate. I just can’t see how we get one in from a PL rival. Never mind two.

I don’t agree with that in the workplace.

Ah have a day off man. You traditionalist wanker. It is the official prem way of doing it and I see it on our insta now. So it’s obviously crept into my vocabulary somehow. Sorry the Americanism offends you. We have a good few of our colonial cousins on here. I was trying to make them feel welcome

I’m inclined to to agree. But that would be even worse than Isak leaving for less than £150m and us signing 2 strikers. We know he struggles to stay fit, how interested he will be in actually playing will be an issue, he won’t be match fit for a while and we’d be back to square one. Where we never had Wilson fit or capable of doing anything. So Isak was our only recognised striker and so gets run into the ground. I know he has fucked up our transfer plans up to a point. But the club have been totally incompetent in signing another striker. They knew Wilson was off a long while ago and wasn’t fit for purpose all last season, anyway. It’s pathetic that we are looking like we’ll get to game week 2 with no replacement in for him and our best forward is currently on strike

Agreed. I also hope he finds a way to make earlier subs. Now that we are actually getting some decent options on the bench. Although we still don’t have a striker I think they’re probably the only two gripes I have left with Howe. But in his defence, it isn’t like he has been spoilt for choice with the squad depth since he joined.

The makina mix of Blaydon Races where the same line is sung 2-3 times, two of which are in the wrong place. Absolutely tragic.

Like that one couple everyone knows from back in the day. Who split up and remove all photos of their ex off social media, change their profile pic and relationship status. Only to then wind up back together a week or two later. What a strop that is from him

He was on the Football Daily, the BBC Five Live podcast getting stuck into Isak last night. The incredibly annoying presenter, who always tries and fails at being funny. Seemed to be leaning into the broken promises from NUFC, almost defending him striking. Whilst caveating it with "we don't know what's gone on". I know they have to try and play devil's advocate up to a point. But it still seemed like a ridiculous viewpoint.

No. That was Allardyce’s first game. His debut would have been under Roeder. I have it in my head it was against Everyon and he was atrocious. But I might be wrong and he just had a shitter against Everton another time

Hojlund on loan, anyone?!

I was only half watching their game. So no idea if Joao Pedro even had many chances or not. But every chance Chelsea had. They seemed to blaze it over the bar. I wonder if Maresca will go full Arteta and blame the change in ball manufacturer for their woeful finishing.

Eh? When did I back us to go down? News to me?! You’ll have to point me in the right direction boss. Then again. You make up all kind of nonsense in your wine addled head. Like singling out one of the best midfielders and captains to ever play for us. For unwarranted abuse. So I’ll probably just ignore whatever the fuck you say anyway if it’s all the same with you.

But it can’t be ‘in fairness to Rod’. Because the bloke is unhinged and proper imbalanced when it comes to his hate for Bruno. Unless he is a 7/10 as a minimum. Old Rodders is in here telling us how shit he is and going on like he is some sort of prophet. Telling us how Bruno is and always will be shite. It is mind numbingly boring and pathetic to the extreme. One of the best, most charismatic, talented and likeable players in the last 20-30 years. Is getting stick from some Wineo?! Owing to the fact he is a bit immobile and has set the bar so high with his performances. That an average game looks like a 4/10. Do me a fucking favour.

Fuck it. Get the money on now. He is scoring against the respectful merseyside reds (scouse cunts) a week tomorrow.

I think this lad is going to be mustard. Criminally underrated. It’s hard to quantify. But I feel like from watching him play and all the comments since he has signed. That he just ‘gets it’. I feel like that counts for a lot in this game and he will be fully bought into what Howe, the club and the fans want. I’m Joelinton’s biggest fan and he is king of the intangibles. But I think Ramsey is that good. That he’ll be the starting LCM by the end of the season.

That is fucking pathetic

Willock.

I actually gave it chance. Liew was fine. The woman was saying we were offering more for Sesko and pretending to be shocked that he chose Man U over us…… Then Delaney just loosely referencing that we have been offering more wages in a lot of these deals. Before quickly moving on. That’s enough of that

Just whacked SSN on and Sunday Supplement is on. Sheth, Miguel Delaney, someone I’ve never heard of and Jonathan Liew……. Nah. You’re alright.

Is that the annual nonce conference for the region? They all look like the sort of faces you see who get caught by paedo hunters.

I was only being half serious and I know the journos are guessing half the time or using incomplete information. But you would like to think that everything was done and it was just dependant on Brentford getting their replacement. What with everything we have read and us being so heavily linked and invested for the best part of a month. It doesn’t feel like that at all and like we are going to waste yet more days, to get him in and training. But of course I could be well wrong and we get some proper movement today.

No rush lads. You reckon someone could work the weekend and do a bit of overtime?

Death, taxes and Rod moaning on like an old fish wife about Bruno. We get it. He had a bad game.

TBH, fuck the result. I’d settle for macth forfeited due to the number of red cards for snapping their players and Tindall getting arrested for chinning Slot.

On the one hand. I think our strengths really match up well against their weaknesses. But on the other. I can’t help but thinking they’ll bag 2 goals or more. Going forward when it all clicks. There aren’t many more lethal teams in world football and they have spent big on two attacking full backs, an attacking mid and a striker. 3-3. The same as last season.
