5th next season (get CL) and win a cup.
-
It's a cracking city tbf like. I went to a stag do there last year.

Great result but a bit more nervy than expected 2nd half. That 4th goal was a relief. Got a flashback to that last day at home to WBA when we blew a 3 goal lead and let that lot down the road finish above us.
That Alan Smith sub man. Never seen a player have such an adverse impact on a midfield.
-
One thing that did make me laugh is how much Roy Keane genuinely dislikes us.
So many unnecessary digs throughout the night.
That wank's his dog chant really must've gotten under his skin.

There's no way Karius or a half fit Pope would be any worse. He's so bad man

I always find it funny when people just say referees are abysmal though. Compared to what? What level of correct decisions do we expect?
Having attended a fair bit of sport with my Dad, he hammers the referee even when the decision is quite obviously correct, so maybe I'm over biased in the other direction
Ha, i mean yeah fair one. I'm just saying that i can count on 1 hand the numbers of times i've watched a game in the prem and thought aye the ref had a good game there.
Consistent errors from VAR who's whole onus of being is to support the ref and catch things they miss in the heat/speed of the game. It's just a shitshow.
Also, i'm probably projecting as i'm still absolutely fuming about the pen decision last night.
-
My only real complaint is he seems to be overly cautious at key points and as said previously has a bias to certain average players.
I'm confident he'll get it right against Brentford.
-
Regarding the standard of the refs.
It's a billion pound industry. They should have some sort of performance centre where you train people up that way and then fast track the best of the best.
Having people going in at grass roots takes and working their way up for years far too long and is no guarantee of them being decent.
Just an idea like but something needs to be done because the officials in this country are abysmal and it doesn't look like changing any time soon.
-
Such a lovely range of passing.
Got potential to top tier if he keeps improving his defensive positioning
-
Karius or a half fit Pope can't be as bad as this bloke.
I refuse to believe it.
-
I'm trying not to be too negative but Howe does have a bias to some massively ordinary players.
As soon as i saw Joelinton, Miggy and Barnes on the bench i had a bad feeling.

Always worth a watch. Eddie absolutely hates that bald fraud
There was a question in the press conference about the grief Ten Haag's been getting and if Howe felt for him.
You could tell Howe has no time for him whatsoever.
Gave a politician's answer about feeling for all manager's.

I'm aware it's slightly more nuanced than this but it kind of rubbed me the wrong way that the guy who's pushing the story is based in Nice.
I understand he's got his own agenda but it's about poverty in the NE & improving the region and he's casting aspersions from his gaff in the French Riviera.

I've been offered my mate's season ticket in the home end as his lass is about to drop a sprog on the same day.
I'm usually pretty sensible in home end's but I'm not sure i could contain myself if we scored or even better got a result against these lot.
-
Combination of journos needing clicks and that they don't like or more likely can't accept the fact that we're here to stay.

Just shows how ridiculous these things are.
3 goals and 3 assists across all comps.

Eddie, of course, spoke superbly.
There's not really anything new though.
It's quite interesting watching the dynamics between two people. Eddie comes across quite intimidating IMO, not in a physical way but on a intellectual level. The perception of him is the soft spoken, mild mannered, middle class coach but I think that's entirely wrong. For me he has don't fuck with me school teacher vibes.
Yeah, that's something i noticed.
Alongside his intelligence, there's a steeliness and a quiet intensity that i could definitely see making some players stop and think before shouting their mouth off.

Out for the season according to Hope.
Krafth and Burn CB for the final 4 games.
-
Glazer’s played a blinder with this. If it goes well they cream it in and if it goes tits up. He’s the fall guy and he paid for the privilege. Fair play tbh.

It’s a tattoo with a picture of him playing football with his brothers on the beach at the bottom you fucking melts.
fucking state of some of the replies on hereMost likely due the fact it looks abysmal.

It'll be the same with Watkins at Villa soon or any other top tier players that play for clubs that threaten the status quo.
The media are just as responsible for pushing the big 6 stuff as the clubs themselves.

Don't Uefa just hit you with fines i.e PSG?
-
I'd definitely prefer it if they made it a straight ko comp.
The format is currently too similar to the EL.

Really hope he gives us another year.
Especially considering our injury ravaged season and we're still in the mix for 6th.
Next season

Yeah, it's not a guarantee. I just felt this year was a little bit of anomaly with regards to how poorly English clubs did in Europe.
I think we'll make a better showing next year.
