Smal

Saying he’s inconsistent is a bit weird. I’m honestly surprised when he doesn’t play like today... you just kind of expect this from him now. Hope he can stay fit.

In the championship. yeap.

Missed the middle line out of your haiku.

Hayden just passing it to their GK

Where would he be without ASM?

Absolutely pointless player.

Burnley are still absolutely horrible so I’m gonna say it’s us playing worse.

This is gonna be like the West Ham game where the opposition are so shit that we look good, isn’t it?

Joelinton starting to look like a footballer. As I type this he gets put through on goal and cacks himself ofc.

Can’t wait for Shelvey to miss so they can shush him.

I know the lack of tactics make everyone look worse, but I think Longstaff might actually be pretty bad.

Because he’s not very good

Honestly. If we’re going to boot if forward to the big guy, at least do it quickly and get players forward to support. We’re so fucking slow with the ball man . No attacking shape.

The good old 3-2-3-2 formation from Chelsea...

Think he’d just shifted his weight to go the other way and Mount caught him by surprise.

Chelsea’s shape is basically non-existent when they don’t have the ball.

f*** the poor, we're alright and that's all that matters. This is England 2020

I like Shelvey, but he needs to come off. Awful today.

This is more or less identical to the worst days of Pardew. 4-4-2, boot it up to the big guy and then blame the defeat on your best player/French winger for not being very good as a second full back.

Carroll is having a good game and looks in surprisingly good condition.

Assist!

We can’t seriously be going into the season planning on playing 4-4-2 with Hendrick as the first choice right mid

See, I can’t really understand why more people aren’t angry at Ashley. He’s finally decided to accept a bid, and the bid is from a state who, let’s face it, should never be allowed to own a football club. I expect this to go down like a lead balloon, but whether you think the PL are corrupt or not, it’s hardly a surprise that a bid from the chief rival of one of the PL’s biggest commercial partners had gone bad. I do think the PL should give fans answers, but I also think they’ve been put in a pretty difficult position. They’re stuck in the middle of a geopolitical war that potentially has pretty serious ramifications that, unfortunately for us, are bigger than nufc. Edit: I’ll add - I do think the PL have to take some blame for the position they’re in because their ownership test is clearly insufficient. It shouldn’t be difficult for them to add something saying states/heads of state cannot own clubs.

Really? Boris Johnson's actions have led to 46,000 (Lowest estimate) UK citizens dying in the last 4 months as he prioritised the economy over their safety. Can you compare that to MBS's record over the same period for me please? (For it to be a thousand times worse, I'm looking for you to catalogue 46 million deaths) wow.

Seems surreal that we’re in a situation where people are happy to call Boris Johnson a cunt (I agree) but are desperate for the club to be taken over by the state of Saudi Arabia who are about a thousand times worse .
