Perfect bounce back game.

Christianity is about as far from the teachings of Jesus as you can get.

At the very least it shows a lack of professionalism. I've got zero patience for excusing the bigotry of fundy christians, but I'm also not interested in proselytizing about that so I'm going to leave it be. From a purely footballing perspective, writing on the armband shows a lack of professionalism and character. The best thing for the team in that situation is to just wear the armband and focus on winning the game, not creating a needless distraction by defacing the armband you are required to wear by the league. Maybe its not a huge impact, but it is an example of him putting his personal interests ahead of the team. Add to that the fact that he's never looked like much of a world beater when we played Palace, or for England, and that they tried to fuck us around on the fee last time, and I am more than happy to find another centerback with less baggage. Maybe even one who is smart enough to keep his religious bigotry on the down-low like most people do.

Surely it has to be: "Juicy" Jacob Murphy

I think Isak is the only player that truly can't be replaced.

Love how he pointed at tonali after that goal, he 100% meant that one

Casual +8 goal difference after two games

I can't believe this happened after the cup final, it seems impossible that he wasn't out for that instead.

It'd be a great one, but not even the best goal by Fabian Schar. For me, that's PSG.

Tough to fit them all in, Gordon can play anywhere across the front but you're hesitant to drop Barnes at this point and Murphy is untouchable.

Let's fucking get it!

What channel?

Not having this dude on page two fellas. Feel like of somebody did his YouTube highlights for 24/25 he'd look fucking amazing. Also, he deserves special credit for how he set his buzzer sound to "just put it in the net" for Burn's Christmas quiz (2:16)

Swap deals are the silliest of all transfer rumors. You see them every year and they literally never, ever, happen.

Murph seems like the absolute best dude to hang out with.

I think the timing of the international break works a bit in our favor too. Offers a reset, lets the players get the trophy hangover out of their system, lets Eddie do full preparation for Brentford, and when everybody shows up to training they will be fully focused on the CL push.

Aye that's the whole enigma with Burn, he's better with his feet than his head. Will deserved though, and as a neutral I see it as a good sign for England also. You guys have been dying for some call ups based on merit rather than legacy.

Really trying not to get excited about this. Maybe their whole squad will get food poisoning?

God damn imagine paying three grand to watch Matt Targett vs Mo Salah.

That's insane. In professional leagues they at least make an attempt at balancing the schedule.

Crazy how we have a monday night game before the cup final weekend.

Another in a long line of NUFC players to have one good season. I know that's a shit take, but it's hard to be optimistic about this club sometimes!

Or there's some penalty for a failed appeal? I don't know the rules. Otherwise there'd be no reason not to appeal and get a couple games in before the ban comes through.

I feel like I've seen loads of players starting a game where the commentator explains that they're able to play while their appeal is under consideration. There must be some reason why we've never taken advantage of that?

I'm fine with resting Isak because we are going to lose either way but holy fuck it is gonna be a long game watching Wilson limp around.
