Top flight Footballers just live in a different world - totally forget the privileged lifestyle they live.  He could learn a thing or two from Gordon - played U21s - within a week of it ending was in Newcastle training, now he'll be off to Australia before then joining the England squad. So no break in two years - if anyone has a case to complain it's him.

IMO season ticket holders from every club should get to vote - as it ruins the entertainment in the stadiums the most. You are just sat there with not a club what is going on.

If Pope is on the bench then he’s not far off being match fit. Howe has that stupid loyalty thing.. “it’s Dubs place to lose now” etc.. it’s really stupid.

Probably his one flaw

His comments are spot on. 

 

He'll want to be at his best for the England camp. Players like Trippier don't just prepare for a game the day before, they'll be eating right, sleeping well and focusing on what's coming up. Jetting to the other side of the world for two end of season friendlies the players will get absolutely nothing from is exactly what he says it is - far from ideal. 

 

yeah but his job is Newcastle and he needs to go earn us some coin.

He is literally an awful keeper

Literal nonsense.

 

But I'm fine with him moving on and us bringing in someone new to push/alternate with Pope.

Still think it's nonsense?

Dubs, Lascelles, Targett, Krafth, Longstaff, Ashby, Hayden, Almiron, Murphy.

 

Club needs to be ruthless and get in at least a combined £300m for the overhaul. 

WILSON 

Sums it up well

Completely finished. He's served his purpose in his first 3 years and now he's another liability and needs to be moved on, he's costing us goals and points on a regular basis, get him out asap

this ^ - no wonder Karius is off with Dubs keeping him on the bench.

How is it zero financial reward? West Ham earned €18m purely in prize money. We'd be able to field a second string for the majority of the competition too. Really winds me up fans not wanting to play European football so we can focus on the league and try to qualify for European football. 

it is chicken feed compared to CL - if we want to try and aim for it next season we haven't the squad if we get Conference League.  To keep the likes of Isak and Bruno we need CL football.

I dunno, he looked fucking knackered after about 20 minutes today.

he's going to be lacking match fitness but he totally switched off for their first goal. that was nothing to do with his legs.

Can’t believe anyone is turning their noses up at Conference League. A realistic chance of winning a trophy! Let’s do what we need to do at Brentford and see where it takes us. I’ll be buzzing for ECL.

Cause its a ton of games - we've not the squad for it, it is zero financial reward and it will impact our league form. And why is it a realistic chance of a trophy? its not a given - still decent teams in that competition. 

The mistakes are down to lack of concentration and composure. Nothing to do with his legs going.

I don't feel like they gave the pen shout a proper look, certain angles just made it look like a great tackle by Casemiro, benefit of the doubt, they didn't care enough to look at it properly which is scandalous at this level. 

As blatant as you get 

I pray it gets scrapped - hate it.  Made the game worse.  Open to abuse as well as is a tool to manipulate results.

Just seen highlights -talk about gifting Man U goals.  Defending for all 3 was appalling but for the 1st goal - worst I've seen.

How VAR as well didn't give a pen - honestly the corruption in this league knows no bounds. No other explanation.  

I am getting the jist Tripps had another howler 

I missed the game as was out - can someone sum it? were we robbed a pen again? did dubs just do nought again?

Is isak fit?

35 million for a goalkeeper who transforms the way we play out from the back is pretty likely, either this summer window or the one after. Knowing the football Howe wants us to play, he isn’t going to want a keeper who can’t be trusted with the football at his feet 

Other areas are a priority though I.e striker

Hope the 115 charges are quashed. Merseyside will be under water the amount of scouse tears

Emery probably happy Arsenal haven't won the league as well. Treated him really badly.

Postecoglou shows his true colours when he loses 

Hopefully Moyes will produce a master class in his last game

That's never happening though. Let's be real, they'll never face any actual punishment. It'll just be some daft fee like £500k and then they'll carry on as usual.

This ^ - it's too much of an embarrassment for the PL and they'll want to protect their multi billion pound business.
