  1. Not sure it is hate, just recently a level of disbelief at, for example, your idea that signing someone from a mid table/non top six team inevitably means they are good enough. Given just about everyone thinks this is a ridiculous premise, seems people have reached the conclusion that you are not really expressing your views and are just fishing for a bite/on the wind-up.
  2. That’s my concern today. Imagine if it’s a tight game or we’re trying to claw back into it, Isak running on empty towards the end and… can’t even finish the thought. Prospect of going to a very beatable version of Man Utd, for a game which really matters, without a striker is horrific.
  3. Given it’s the last home game, really odd if Wilson isn’t there. Even if injured.
  4. Four first team outfield players on the bench, plus Pope. Nice! Shame about Wilson. Got to feel for him. Comes back as if he hadn’t been away and let down by his body again.
  5. Foolishly got rid of streaming kit (as but the bullet paid for Sky & TNT). Can’t seem to pick-up Radio Newcastle here (Warrington). Left with frustration of intermittent score updates on national radio and grubby-gardening-handed checking in here ?‍♂️
  6. Or… to meander around the outside of a stadium (external path obvs) while others play and the less jinxy watch. Just a thought ?
  7. Yep. Notice Pereira is in there. He’s a bit long in the tooth for our strategy (28) but perhaps we should sweep for him and have a full Brazillian midfield!
  8. Neymar out through injury as well. Casemiro, Jesus, Richarlison and Anthony also left out. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cekl7r9pvryo.amp
  9. I like that they’re out and about. Though dawns on me they might have just been between car and restaurant.
  10. Looks like they’re having a pint in a Sainsbury’s ?‍♂️
  11. ‘Records’ (ahem…) are there for breaking. All runs come to an end. Today’s the day, man. Today’s the day… . (Off in search of Tippex).
  12. Currently writing your name in my book and crossing it out.

  14. Thanks for the message and informed view re injuries. In terms of NUFC being a temporary staging post towards a really big club, suspect the majority opinion here will differ from yours.
  15. I struggle to spot the subtle differences between between top class/PL goalkeepers (…well players in general often!) but Ramsdale has represented England at all levels and is still on that upwards curve competence wise. At the right price I’d love to see him here. It gives the right message and, like Gordon, we could be getting a future England regular while we can afford him.
  16. It’s admirable that you befriend the hard of thinking.
  17. Mental isn’t it. Have an agent to protect your interests (aka screw every penny possible out of your employer and use your profile to wring money out of every possible company) and the club have to pay. They also don’t pay their own union fees ?‍♂️
  18. We’ve had ‘four in a row’ top six finishes once: 1993-94 (3rd), 1994-95 (6th), 1995-96 (2nd), 1997-98 (2nd). Three in a row once: 2001-02 (4th), 2002-03 (3rd), and 2003-04 (5th). Would be fantastic for 2023-24 to be the second of a record breaking run. For comparison: Man City will have 11 in a row this season. Man Utd will hopefully not add to their current six in a row (30/31 top six finishes thus far). Arsenal will have three in a row (28/32). Liverpool will have eight in a row (26/32).
  19. One of Rob’s legs same weight as both of Bruno’s. But otherwise, like they were separated at birth ?
  20. Finishing sixth this season would be outstanding. Target next season is European qualification and a trophy. Variety of each dependent on our transfer investment.
  21. And two teams from our group in t’other semi. Including one we thrashed. Bizarro indeed. I’m
  22. I think, from what I can gather, that Howe fancies both of them. Can’t see us letting Isak go if he wants or can be persuaded to stay.
  23. A canny bit, tbf ? from me!
