    pfft if you love Benitez so much why don't you just shag him

    Not on here, he isn't. A deek on social media shows the complete opposite amongst a few fanbases.

    Not a lot. He's probably widely viewed as yesterday's man now.
  4. Found this on a ~2 hour YouTube surf. I love him.

    Fucking hell, he's so bad at picking jobs if that happens.
  6. Fuck sake, Lingard. Need a Forest goal and a Ndidi card for £125 from a daft free £1 bet builder.

    I agree but think it's mainly down to Bruno staying fit pre and post World Cup now as well as who we bring in in January, as we were in top 4 form post January last season with Wood, Fraser and Murphy often being our front 3.
  8. Was one of the many individual errors that cost us points under Howe pre-January, Darlow at fault for 2, arguably all 3 Brentford goals, Clark v Norwich, pen at Leicester, Shelvey at Liverpool, Clark & Dubravka v Man City. So many. That game was organised chaos, absolutely mental game of football. Remember having the most hoarse voice due to screaming my head off in Tilley's post match, sounded like Christian Bale in the Batman suit. Great atmosphere. And you're right, Joelinton's incredible improvement in form started in that game rather than the Norwich one, he was unbelievable and slipped at the last in the final 10 minutes to make it 4-3, what could've been. That Chelsea game was fucking grim. My first game back since Benitez left and it was absolutely pathetic, those 3 games under Jones were rancid.

    I get what you mean and I largely agree but at the same time I wouldn't be too thrilled if we finished 10th or 9th. We've lost one league game at SJP all year, we finished 7 points off 7th/Europe last season after not winning in the first 14 games of the season and have had a decent summer outlay which presumably will get larger in January. Instead of league position points total is probably a better gauge of progress; it took us until December 27th to reach 11 points last season which we have now. We have a good run of home games up to February and another transfer window to come, I'd say it'd be quite disappointing if we don't break 55 points. Over 60 will likely get us Europe of some sort. Just enjoying it though I thoroughly agree with. Couldn't have imagined typing any of the above a year ago.
  10. Nkunku got 35 goals and 20 assists from 52 games in all competitions last season. Outrageous numbers. Whether that's Bundesliga tax remains to be seen but he was probably my dream urealistic signing before the Maddison links (who I don't think is unrealistic at all now).
  11. "When Wilson joined from Bournemouth for £20million ($22.3m) in 2020, he turned down Aston Villa, accepting a lower salary than they were offering to go to Newcastle." Villa, absolutely finished
  12. Fewmin, he's quality. Hope he flops.
  13. It doesn't show it in those highlights but he's also at fault for the 3rd. He doesn't collect a loose ball out wide in the box (just lazily left it iirc) and the action that starts as a result is the buildup to their 3rd when the highlight for it begins.

    Correct. League Cup winner gets Conference League, FA Cup gets Europa League. If teams inside the top 6 win either or both, the relevant European spots move down a League position. The last time a team outside the top 6 won any of the cups was 2012-13, Wigan won the FA Cup and Swansea won the League Cup that year.
  15. Villa won't be near us as long as Gerrard remains in charge.
  16. Christ. I remember once in an Athletic article around about the time he was sacked and an unnamed opposition player said that playing against us under Bruce was puzzling and as a result a tad difficult as the opposition had no idea what our setup was, formation was or what we were trying to do. Sunday league management is the best way to describe it. Archaic and pointless as fuck.
  17. He did but Sir Bobby was not happy with it.
  18. That's not even true, they scored 3 away at Brentford in mid January. Edit: And they got 4 away at Leeds in February.
