Traffic getting into town today is mental. Borderline standstill getting onto the Redheugh.

I'd 100% take him. Needs to be playing if he wants in for the World Cup. Showed his quality at West Ham and whilst his position is not where we should really be prioritising he'd improve us, especially if Fraser continues to pull up no trees. Priorities should be CB and CM. A striker and full back added to that to, but we'll likely not get all that in January.

The interesting parts.

Random point but only just dawned on me that this was the last fixture played at a full SJP before COVID hit. 29th February 2020. Fucking hell. https://www.nufc.com/html/2019-20html/2020-02-29burnley-h.html Here's hoping for a better performance and result.

Been promoting and playing some bizarre looking card game on Instagram.

Barnes is out fwiw. I see what you mean though but Burnley will still sit off. They sit off almost everyone.

Ah, the classic "play him in CDM" regarding any CB that is okay on the ball. Nah.

True, but Schär not being in the side means only Shelvey has the capability to competently pass the ball forward.

Absolutely fucking raging. Very disappointed.

Same. Need to keep this gap more or less the same, if we shorten it all the more better. Our run of games from Everton away through to Brighton at home are good and by then we'll have the window and Howe will have hopefully fully got his ideas across and fitness of the players up.

Got train back yesterday, just excited to see Howe on the touchline tbh. Bruce puffing his cheeks out with his arms folded is etched into my brain. Fat prick. Has to be 3 points. Just has to be.

Yeeeessss, get in.

Nah, both ends do though.

Aye

He has to score there. VAR might've given his boot size offside though.

Aye.

Are refs being told not to give clear decisions for VAR? Worrying as fuck that he didn't give that straight away, same with the red card for Brighton v us last month. Mad.

Siuuu dunno why it's so funny

That's a pen.

I remember when we beat them 1-0 under Bruce, the Matty Longstaff winner, where Rashford was playing up top for them and he just didn't look interested at all. Must have a few games like that.

Yep. No Arsenal player fouled him, no Arsenal player was offside. His own teammate 'injured' him, and the ref shouldn't have stopped the game as it wasn't a head injury.

Good. 0-1.

Atkinson doesn't stop the game until the ball's in the net, even then it isn't a head injury so he shouldn't have stopped it.

That has to be given, surely.
