  1. I think if we go ASM, Wilson and Almiron as the front three Fulham won’t be able to keep us out. Would leave Big Joe out because you can’t ignore things like that - even if it’s only for a game. Willock, Longstaff and Bruno in the middle and we’ll get a good win today. Isak off the bench with a goal too. 3-0
  2. Never stopped loving Mitro to be honest. I never bought the lazy opinion some had that he couldn’t do it in the Premier League given how young he was. It’ll never happen but I’d love to see him under Howe given how high we press. Pressing from the low block under Rafa certainly didn’t work for him but winning the ball higher up the pitch could. I hope he’s absolutely shite today

    I’ve got absolutely no issue with a fan base doing what they can to create a better atmosphere - it worked for us so fair play to them. Although apparently we were really embarrassing for doing the flag thing and yet they’ve copied it. Probably the same lot that wouldn’t be happy with Saudi investment
  4. They were wanking themselves daft when Moshri came in and bought all those players for ridiculous fees. Now most of them didn’t workout they turn on the board. They hounded Rafa out at the first opportunity and their fans spent far too much time laughing at us for some weird rivalry reason. Fuck’em
  5. Now that’s a link to get excited about.

    Joelinton

    I don’t think it’s bad on here? He seems to be being universally condemned for what is an incredibly stupid decision. I’ve seen other fan bases twist themselves in knots defending sexual offenders and such like. Nice to see N-O isn’t like that.

    Joelinton

    What’s he even doing pissed at 1am on a Thursday night. He’s literally just salvaged his career.
  8. It’s fairly disappointing to read a section of our fan base arguing about cup final ticket allocation on twitter. Highly presumptuous and the type of thing that makes us look like massive mugs whether we progress or not.
  9. I always thought he had something at Spurs but it never clicked. The game I saw him play last season he looked quality and from what I’ve read he’s been really highly regarded.
  10. I wasn’t too fussed if we did anything in this window but with a winnable semi final on the horizon and a shot at European football another quality addition could be difference. Let Mehrdad loose with the cheque book!
  11. We’re playing amazingly well but there’s absolutely no way we’re beating City over two legs. Man U have been on a good run but have played loads of awful teams. Im desperate for Wolves/Forest. A semi final is never going to be easy but I’d back is to beat both of them over two games. Then this team, riding high into a final and anything is possible.
  12. Surprised they didn’t start Vardy given he caused problems against us last time.
  13. I’m probably 90% sure I’m wrong about this opinion but I think Tielemans is shite. The occasional worldie doesn’t forgive the amount of times I see players running past him. He’s peaked already in my opinion. Gut feeling is he’d be a bad signing for us.
  14. Hard to swallow pill for some people this
  15. I thought he showed something when he first signed but it was a little worrying how shite he was yesterday. He needs a really good run of games in the Championship.
  16. I was thinking about this last night. I wonder if that’s what Howe is trying to alter his position as he definitely doesn’t have the speed for a wide player.

    Jacob Murphy

    “die to make every challenge” my god! Always baffles me after a loss when comments like this come out. It’s embarrassing. It also dispels this myth that we just demand players who put 100% in. Murphy always gives his all. He’s a squad player with limited ability, he clearly loves being here and gives everything - he’s just not great and it shows at times like tonight. Yet he gets destroyed for not being good enough. I feel like he’s shown his limited use as cover in that RW position as he’s put in some decent 7/10 performances lately. He’s got one of them in him like last night and was dreadful. Does he need replacing if we’re going to improve as a squad? Yes. It isn’t for want of effort though and the personal stuff makes is look like mugs.
  18. It happens. It’ll feel worse if we don’t beat Leicester. There’s a few of those players behind the first 11 that aren’t good enough but we knew that. I didn’t expect them to be mugged off by a League 1 players though. To maintain a European push we need another centre mid because Anderson needs games elsewhere. There’s VAR haters out there but going back to shit goals like that every week I couldn’t stomach. Theirs and our goal was so far offside it was pathetic. Good luck to Moore though, always liked him.
  19. Enjoying this so far. I can see why Anderson and Lewis haven’t played more Longstaff looking a grade up from the squad players when he was once one of them.
  20. More believable than the ITKs. Pretty much everyone in the North East is either ill or knows someone loaded with flu. Can’t ever remember a time where everyone was so poorly. We need quarantining
  21. It’s impossible to speculate without context but if he has been left out because of a rift it’s just thoroughly disappointing. Unplayable on his day but struggled to adapt at times. Given we’re pushing for Europe he could be essential to us. If it results in him moving I don’t think there’s many teams that would pay the money we could have got for him.
