Tiresias

I'm sure he would have come on if we were chasing. I am sure he will get a chance again though. Just before he got injured he was really putting the effort in again. Remember he absolutely beasted Man City FFS.

I can't remember conceding 7 or 8 goals

Here I go round in circle again. I hope there can be some positive cultural exchange that way of course but I seriously doubt it, but if it happens that's cool. Having said that I am not sitting here thinking yes the western culture needs to dominate rest of the world. It is more a case that the values of locking up anyone who disagrees with them and lgbtq folk (and worse) is reprehensible to me and I makes me queasy to think that we are being used to make that look good. Nobody has any pretense that protesting will affect PIF. the main thing is it might do some light pressure to force them to adopt positions like the rainbow laces campaign and the like that then filter backwards like you say above. As I have said many times I don't think football clubs should be owned for political purposes, and I think some level of keeping this in public conversation is necessary to avoid it just being super normal that fucking saudi arabia own a football club and to undermine attempts to sportwash. I do not think one is morally obliged to love the owner of your football club. But I had no say nor did any fan and it is too important to me to have my enjoyment of the club taken away from me. I am sure non NUFC fans will say that is a moral copout, I largely agree, but so is my eating meat, driving a petrol car and enjoying western civilisation built on plenty of blood money. It's a lame compromise that doesn't stand up much but I'm just a human trying to stay above water not a saint. I have compromised that i will enjoy this somewhat but I will also not shut up that I don't like that our owners would chuck me in prison if i was in Saudi Arabia (fyi, I am gay) I also do not for a second resent any toon fan who wants to not give a shit about this, everyone should enjoy it and I am not saying anyone should feel bad. But saying people shouldnt protest cos it doesn't do anything and if we do nothing saudi arabia will become lovely is absolute codswallop.

I wouldn't say whatever it takes I'd be disappointed in the future if we turn to Mourinho tbh. It's just we are overperforming where the squad 'should be' so there is going to be some shithousery to secure the wins which is great. I do think any winning team needs a nasty edge.

We've scored 4 goals a bunch of times. any narrative that we are overly dirty and and negative is nonsense regardless. This was a big game against a good team with deep resources off the bench we don't have. I will complain if we are timewasting at home against Brentford in the first half.

You don't get anywhere being nice. I want us to play with as much flair and joy as possible, but we are attacking, we are fun to watch, and insinuations we are just super cynical are just nonsense to me but it is symptomatic that we fight for every point. Noone whinges nowadays about the Invincibles team being shithouses.

Motm for me. There was a moment when we gave away the ball in front of him twice in succession and he just mopped up and must have been fucking fuming at what was going on ahead of him

Fair weather players have missed their chance, no dickheads policy needs to stay!

I've taken against him too but I think it's just that shit mini beard

Agree with above, but also illustrative that we don't have a jorginho type who can recycle possession and defensive side, and Bruno is asked to do that when it is not quite his game. He is more than good enough for most premier league opponents but in games like this I think if we sign a new mid it would be someone to do all that dirty work for bruno and let bruno play further forward.

Very good today

2 points behind man city hahaha (they do have game in hand unfortunately)

GET IN

ffs course they will try and liverpool us

Seemed wrong club to learn how to manage a champions league club, maybe the new ownership will have patience. On the other hand it is also somewhat a free hit, chelsea clearly a clownshow i don't think his reputation will be hurt and he will get the everton job or some such

GET IN

trippier then pope save us

The lebron james of soccer is on

Controlled it, only team likely to score but we also aren't likely to score if we played 180 minutes. It's chelsea a 0-0 wouldn't be the worst response but i hope ASM and Wilson can come on and do something

Botman there having to clean up about 3 messes in a row in quick order

They performed this on the ground did they?

Just immediately the move breaks down as soon as it reaches wood

true

FFS when injury goes off and the sub on is Thiago Silva

Schar always goes down injured near the start then gets on with it
