Odear

Only a matter of time before one of their moves works out if we don’t start playing. That diagonal ball up to Atsu is gonna be calmly headed back to their keeper all night long.

That’s the spirit!

That was away to Boro And didn’t he elbow someone as well? Then followed up by nutting Keith Curle the following week. Remember him shrugging his shoulders as the ref wanted a word ? he may have gotten a ban after but he wasn’t sent off, madness given how blatant it was.

There was probably a time when our revenues were similar to Liverpool. Gas, isn’t it that by spending shitloads of money on talent and facilities, that it somehow translates into record profits.. it’s almost like people would spend more to see their team playing well?! https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/47168032

Maybe he’s turning off social media to try and settle into the area and life here quicker? The more time you spend on that shit the less for real life. I dunno, I just think this lad has the right attitude. Whether he’ll be a success or not will depend entirely on how good or shit the MLS is. He looked a world beater there. But he’s going to give it a go. That’s all we can ask.

He seems a good lad. Certainly not shy.

So would a player be covered in insurance for their transfer value? Or is it like a life insurance policy where you specify the amount and make the according payments?

Thauvin wouldn’t have worked out with any manager, he just didn’t want to be here, end of story. This lad wants to be here. For the moment at least so let’s just give him some time to adjust. The American fans are ultra positive and generally their team has done quite well. Kind of opposite to us. We’re great when things are going ok.. Wait until he starts hearing boo’s and groans at 20 minutes when it’s 0-0.. then we’ll see what he’s made of. He’s got the talent.

So they’ve located the wreckage, would it be probable that the bodies would still be on board? How deep does the channel go? Am just trying to work out if it’s realistic that a dive team could go in, or would they need something bigger to set about recovering.

Dubravka Schär Lascelles Lejeune Yedlin Hayden Longstaff Ritchie Perez Almiron Rondón On current/speculative form

I’m not sure he’s up to PL level but it’s hard to tell as his confidence is totally shot. Being split from his brother was a bad idea, as was immediately dropping him in the few times he did do well. A good run of games and rediscovering his form would help him loads.

It’s only 7 points. They can easily mess it up. I would find great enjoyment if they did. They have to play Man Utd, Spurs, Everton away and Chelsea. Could easily drop points.

I think they’ve dealt with this far better than the last time. They were the ones to contact the police when they found out about it. Compared to last time when they had all the facts yet they still chose to play a nonce and have fans sing “he shags who he wants” because it suited them in a relegation battle.

Think his place in the side is safe. It’ll be Atsu making way for Almiron I reckon.

Fantastic effort from the players. Couldn’t have been any more different from Saturday. If I wasn’t so cynical I’d love to think today was about Rafa finally getting a victory at board level, we all knew that if he got what he wanted, he would stay. Can’t wait to hear what he says post match now

Kenedy?! Wtf

Time for a few subs..

Was the keeper not fouled there?

I’m happy with Samaris to be honest if it happens. He’s an excellent player. Quoted at around 20m during the summer and was a target for Rafa.

It would be Allardyce I reckon. Pardew lost the plot in his last job. He’s a risk. Ashley wants to protect his exposure to a relegation. That’s all he wanted from Benítez except the pesky Spaniard has more ambition than that. Hippo Head will give him exactly what he wants.

I wonder why he would want to delay publishing these figures... ?

We can’t unless Chelsea agree to it. They won’t at this late stage. ah, though we could unilaterally do it. must be something in the contract that would let us. please let there be. So basically Kenedy’s agent is Darren Lamb - “does he still get paid even if he’s shit?” , “you’ve got more money than sense mate”

Such a waste of paper. It won’t be picked up by the cameras. They’ll make sure of that.

Assuming a kid starts going with his dad at age 5, you're about 18, I guess. Doubt many are younger I wonder what it would take for every man woman and child to turn their back on the club?

If Rafa wasn’t here it would be so much easier to just stop watching, stop reading, stop giving the club anything. We quite often talk about giving money to Mike Ashley by going to games, but he’s taking something far more valuable from all of us, even the ones that don’t go, our time that is. There’s nothing more valuable in this world. He’s taken it from every single one of us. Between commuting to and from work and then generally flicking about on my phone. I’d say I must give this place an hour a day at least. Maybe another hour flicking around on newsnow and reading nufc related stories. Then a Saturday.. 90 mins to watch some turgid shite and another hour venting about it online. All in all that’s roughly 800 hours a year, multiply that by 13 years, that’s 10,400 hours That translates to 433 days Or 1.2 years of our lives. Gone. Wasted. Anyone young enough to have not spent that amount of time, get out now before it’s too late.
