Has the feel of the legendary matches we played as kids. Same defending.
-
Looks like it has all the bits that Shadow Puppets specified

Neither will have the energy for extra time man. So pleased there will be though

Haven’t seen a pair of legs like this since I first watched The Mask

Anyone else think Jon Champion's commentary has been really placid?

That phrase has become the new GOAT, overused into meaninglessness. -
Didn't realise McAtee's great uncle was Alan Ball.

Nice -
Think TAA is a bit of a victim of this era of football. In the '90s he'd be playing Beckham's position in a 442 with a more out and out RB behind him, in modern football he doesn't have the profile to play in a midfield or front 3 so has to play RB and can get exposed defensively. Would personally have him as the 2nd best RB in PL history behind Walker who is imo absolutely miles ahead of everyone. Until he came along the RB in the all time XI stood out like a sore thumb, with Gary Neville being a shoo in despite, longevity and general reliability aside, never being a particularly outstanding footballer or defender.

Hate that team like, they deserved nothing. That's them probably getting at least 67 points now.

That wild shot aside he definitely looked like the Gordon we know.
-
He's also clearly carrying something that's holding him back imo. Clear as day.

Neither is our record there. Football is a weird old game. -
The Europeometer™ (2024/25) - NUFC Qualify for Champions League
Kid Icarus replied to Rich's topic in Football
Just been thinking similar, but it really has been swings and roundabouts this season. I'd say we're about even for performance in matches we should have won vs matches we should have have lost. -
Was like this when they beat Everton 1-0 as well, bizarre.

Criticise the player in a match who kept getting into positions to have any end product in the first place, despite being the best out of the 3 in midfield, because you've already decided they're not good enough. Ignore the performances and context of the other players in midfield and the team who kept misplacing 5 yard passes, were shrugged off the ball time and again, and were outplayed, because it's been established that they're usually very good players. Even though they all played in the same match, against the same opposition, in the same positions. Same context for their performances, different opinions and perspectives on them and their performances, with the standards for some reason being higher than those for Bruno and Tonali, despite them being much better players. Too many want to have their cake and eat it.

Up there with Man United as the most unlikeable team going. We all need to bring our A game, including the crowd and I think we will. -
First time I've seen Palmer play well in months, typical

They're absolutely shite. Won 1 away game in 5 months. If we're not up for it and don't give them one of our smothering performances then it's on us. -
