  1. We’re going (should really be ‘gonna’ given where this post is going…) to sashay around their close pressing and shimmy around into the wide open green spaces.
  2. I’m in pre-match (deluded) optimism mode! Did we beat them preseason? Can’t recall and .com are down, but we beat them this season, and their seeking revenge for that will be outweighed by our seeking revenge for what happened there last season. HTL ( no’wubble you’!)
  3. Good words. It’s all all the blend @timeEd32 and he’s been an important ingredient in some of our best performances.
  4. Really enjoyed that. I know he gets pelters, but I’m warming to Sir Les’s young cousin. He’s definitely got a soft spot for us now.
  5. Ah! Well. Only six months before we can ‘enjoy’ the speculation again.
  6. Too many people using stats the way a drunk uses a lamppost, for support instead of illumination.
  7. I just nearly spat my coffee out when I sat down to Sky Sports News and they stopped blasting on about Miggy going and handed over (to that one who looks like the epitome of a cockney barrow boy) to discuss positive news of a midfield signing… Yep. Young Lewis. Like a new… .
  8. Chuffed for the lad. He’s relentless. Quick as a whip. Intelligent. A good communicator. Passionate, a grafter and fully engaged to the cause. Think he might just be becoming my favourite player.
  9. Hope he got good advice. I’m sure what he was offered would have been a massive jump from what he has been on, easy to have your head turned by that. As I would also guess that his new deal is mikes away from Longstaff or Joelinton. Possibly similar to Anderson?
  10. Gameweek 22 Forest 1-1 Arsenal Fulham 2-0 Everton Luton 1-1 Brighton Palace 2-1 Sheff United Villa 2-2 Newcastle Man City 3-1 Burnley Spurs 2-2 Brentford Liverpool 1-2 Chelsea West Ham 1-1 Bournemouth Wolves 1-1 Man United
  11. I do like that they have one of a proud Northumbrian, with 261 appearances for his beloved Newcastle United, topped off with a solid performance in a third in five years FA Cup win. What a Geordie hero! Magnanimous them Makems. Makes me proud to be ‘North Eastern’.
  12. I think overall I agree. Having the semis there kind of tarnishes the specialness of the occasion. That said I think I have been to three and (leaving the match, result and miserable journey home via fecking stay over in Coventry) the semi against Chelsea at Wembley pre match and occasion was better than the two at Old Trafford.
  13. Of all the speculation, the idea that makes the most sense (though who knows!) is that the loan with obligation to buy for £30m (I believe) was tied to appearances. If we (a) didn’t want to to buy him, or (b) didn’t want to buy him for that, and there was wriggle room to buy for less, if he didn’t meet the required number of appearances, then we might be trying our best to limit his game time.

    Nah… woodwork not rattled yet.
  15. How about ‘Miggy Almiron is sick’ easily interpreted as fan admiration—might wring out an extra few million Riyals.
  16. One of the grounds we always seem to struggle at, regardless of form/personnel. Last six L 0-3, L 0-2, L 0-2, L 0-2, D 1-1, D 0-0. Two 1-0 wins for us prior to that, 2014 and 2015. Add to this, that they are sitting in 4th 14 points above us with good home form, having thrashed Brighton and beaten both Man City and Arsenal. They will also be stinging from being battered 5-1 on opening day (though, just checked, and they had 16 shots to our 17, and possession was pretty even). Makes bleak reading. Can’t shift the feeling that there’s something in this for us though ?‍♂️.
