Should’ve had a pen for the Wilson goal that got disallowed. Thiago going off changed the game, they were rattled after that.

A great ormond street of a hospital pass

He’s so bad I’m not entirely convinced there isn’t a red mage casting stop every time he looks like he’s getting to the ball
-
Completely hopeless, getting rid of him in the summer is objective number 1, he’s not just individually shit he makes everyone else 10x worse
-
thing is though, he was right once before when he said it was in trouble, and low and behold they pulled out. I reckon he probably does have a source on the anti-Saudi side but whether we can trust anything he says in his tweets is something else entirely. Only thing for certain is he’s an absolute invertebrate.

While he is 100% a troll my optimism has gone from 99% to 0% in the last five days or so. The entirety of football is against us on this one, we’ve got zero allies outside of our sphere and absolutely no one seems up for the Saudis pouring money into nufc even after the horror of the last few days. I feel like a right rancid cunt sniffing around Luke Edwards’ tweets for a sliver of hope. And just like that, news that Bordeaux have gone into administration. Can easily see us getting shafted and some french dickheads having all the billions.

The government can quite literally do whatever it wants if it passes an act of Parliament, which would’ve had more support in the country than any bill I can remember

All quiet. Most of the stuff we were told has since come to pass mind (mainly arbitration tactics and players involved) but we’ve heard nowt interesting for months. My spirit animal says it’s on.

Playing upfront, there are some very basic things you can do to guarantee at least a couple of goals a season and standing on the keeper at corners is one of them.
-
When he gets on the ball and runs straight into the middle of a bunch of defenders everyone shits themselves. That alone, even minus the goals and assists, helps us get over the line against good teams. You can double up on him but it doesn’t matter because he isn’t bothered about 2 v 1, he’s going through the middle of them anyway. Class.

And under communism I could be an astronaut

The sweet, sticky whiff of safety has blown in from the fields

Willock has been great so far imo. He’d do well to stay here because he’s probably a level below starting at arsenal.
-
Dunno about the rest of you but I’m absolutely up for dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight

Martin Dúbravka (now playing for Burnley)
Billy Pilgrim replied to Figures 1-0 Football's topic in Football
Dubravka is levels above Darlow. He’s not the perfect keeper but he’s fucking class at the basics of controlling the box and coming for stuff. -
What we’ve really learned from this sorry episode of suicide by mackerel is that the only actual decent block of players (the central defenders) outright disagree with the manager about how to play central defence even though he’s a central defender. I heard rumours that Lascelles had fallen out with him, I’ve watched Schar down tools basically five minutes after Bruce showed up, I can fully believe that whatever system Rafa had them working from as a base was designed to deal with a lack of pace in CD and CM, which was half the reason he kept shelvey away from danger. We had lejeune and Schar to ping the passes that Shelvey takes five minutes to wind up for. So Bruce sends Lejeune out on loan, plays shelvey whenever he can until he is inevitably injured (as he’s a waster moron who doesn’t look after himself properly) and then scratches his head at why we can’t play the ball out from the back under pressure.
