Only managed the first minute of that, but if I was a Man Utd fan I suspect I would absolutely despise her.

Aye, he is their other attacking threat tbf, but Bowen would be the one with the composure to take a chance when they need it. Kudus is still a bit erratic to be pinning all your hopes on.

Oooh, that is an absolute killer for them. He’s their best player by miles.

The side that he’s playing on notwithstanding, I think it’ll probably help him playing alongside Burn rather than Schar, from an organisational point of view. Burn is excellent at making sure everyone is correctly positioned and switched on, which, from the admittedly limited, time we’ve seen of Kelly, will probably benefit him.

Worst part about it was him having to go back to the bench after storming off because Brexit Jim doesn’t turn the hot water on in the changing rooms until after full time.

Injury permitting…

If we make Europe, especially the CL, he absolutely has to stay.

Tbh honest, finding a quality backup for a truly elite level PL striker is extremely difficult. Spurs struggled for years, and spunked a load of money trying to do it when they had Kane. Even when they did sort it out, it was slightly fortuitous, with Son probably not brought in specifically for that role. It may be that the hybrid striker/RW route would serve us best.

Seems an appropriate time to re-post this absolute belter: https://x.com/thefootbailhub/status/1710241207752781862?s=46&t=OQLMckSuatbpqWF13Al4mQ

Payment for the second leg getting taken on Thursday (2nd) for those in the cup scheme.

Cup game in the middle

He did go off injured at half time against Spurs like. Not sure how bad?

Heavy(ish) press speculation in the past and contract up in summer. As well as the perception (rightly or wrongly) that he’d be OK being backup to Isak. Wages potentially an issue like, and the chances of it happening might have gone with the last couple of windows.

*continue to fail

He wasn’t the original source of the rumour mind, he just piggybacked on cos he’s weird like that. Still absolutely no credible source before him that I can see like.

Self-preservation. Losing a game you thought you would win is more difficult to take than losing a game you thought you would lose. So if you tell yourself you think we’ll lose (even if you don’t really think that), it’s like a comfort blanket of ‘well I thought we’d lose anyway, so not overly bothered’. Or something like that.

It did help the starving kids though

What about helping the starving kids?

Manager’s position weakened already.

Bit late for that I’m afraid.

Hard enough getting the crowds to come and watch one team in the North East, let alone splitting the support.

Ponteland-Online marra

Wait til I tell about these fans who think they’ve got a plethora of generational talents but get beat off the likes of Stoke…
