Would have been a great ‘sliding doors’ moment. Likelihood is he would have chucked the dummy for a few months and then had a great half season and we’d all have been better off for it.

That’s even more weird. Really hope we never see it again. (Edit: Really, really, hope he shows on over 25 occasions next season that he isn’t going to it again!).

Surely they can’t seriously expect to sign Gordon for £55m? We paid £45m in 2022-23, he is now in his prime, has become a full international (2 goals in 17 appearances), played in the Champions League (10 in 12 appearances—probably the best player in the world of his ilk, Kvaratskhelia, has 10 in 15) and he has four years on his contract. No wonder Howe is bigging him up. Only way he goes for anything near that is if he is absolutely finished here.

I’m not that arsed about finishing above them to be fair. It hurt to lose to them twice; I felt like a feral berserker after the home loss! (Odd what it brings out in you). But in the wider scheme of things I can appreciate they have had a great season; for them. It won’t be their best but think it will be in their top three in the PL era, which says everything really. They must have been shitting themselves starting this season with a load of newbies after scraping promotion whilst really struggling to score goals. They have by most standards (I mean, could have been better, e.g. we once finished third after being promoted) over performed, signed some players who have been good enough and beaten us twice. Great effort and a manager who looks like he knows how to get a tune out of what he has got. Next season is ‘second album’ time, but who knows. Given what the fanbase have been through (obviously, they are not all RTG-stylee fuckwits) and a penchant for the underdog, a tiny bit of me can’t help being pleased for them. Bragging rights should be a long game really, one which, for anyone who is aware of and can hold in mind, the last thirty years, we have comfortably won. We’ll see them again next year and let’s see how we all feel after that.

Hope you enjoy it anyway man. What a great notch on your life experience belt. Especially if you get to see some NUFC representation on the pitch.

On recent form I agree. Tino hasn’t been at 100% since he came back from injury (last time). I do think though when they are both 100% Tino probably just edges it. Maybe not next season when Hall has another year’s development. He may well have a higher ceiling. Certainly shown enough confidence and promise; not many full backs have played that well against Yamal. Really thought they would both be going to the World Cup and would be England’s full back pairing. Maybe next season.

That saves me ten minutes of catch-up cheers! 👍

Looks incredible.

👏

He seemed everywhere yesterday; every attacking move seems to stem from him. He is so (far too) important to us with and without the ball.

I was super confused at times. Hall was central midfield, Tonali was left of a back three. There is obviously a lot of fluidity in the formation and instructions. We certainly found lots of space.

It’s not but at least he gives a shit (that said might be just his own ego he gives a shit about).

Farewell sweet prince. You’ve come a long way from Summerseat. Gan canny bonny lad.

Hope the win meant that there was a reasonable show of appreciation for their efforts at the end.

Hardly changed! (Yes, I do mean the quality of Bigg Market totty).

Most likely it’ll be like a bouncing bomb throughout that last week in August.

Interesting to read—when you could actually read it. Grim intrusive advertising spoiling the site.

New United Fuck-all Continuity 😉

No, not really sure I do agree that Hall playing RB cost us two points. But then it’s not like we can go again with another option there (Trippier, Murphy?) or understand what Hall may have prevented goals/chances wise by playing there.

So you think Hall at right back is the sole reason we conceded that goal?
