  1. I mentioned before, the club had moves lined up in January, loan with obligation to buy. Would have required a slight drop in salary at the clubs involved. He declined and opted to pick up his wages for another 2 seasons. He’s got form for making bad decisions. He’s a very likeable lad but whoever is advising him is doing nothing for his reputation.
  2. Saying that, I’m not totally convinced by Isak.. wasn’t entirely sure what we were getting with him but currently not getting the best from him.
  3. Whilst I agree overall, in this case I think everything mentioned above, ie age, being injury prone and now possibly being physically limited due to covid will have seen his value drop. There would still be takers no doubt but at far more sensible numbers.

    Alexander Isak

    Even though Wilson needs to be dropped, Isak isn’t the answer there. Those saying Gordon, Isak and Miggy should be up front, how lightweight do you want a front line?
  5. Bad bout of Covid, it might have been the second time he had it within a few months as well. Surely that takes it’s toll on energy levels and fitness. Can’t be pissed off at him, he’s still obviously trying, but something definitely missing. If I was Howe I’d consider letting him leave in the summer, 12-15m would be good business.
  6. Fact is they let us have the majority of possession and knew they could get us in trouble on the counter. Teams have been doing this for a while now. We don’t quite know what to do when teams are sitting back Individually some of the players regarded as our best, they haven’t been performing well for a while. Trippier has an obvious weakness in terms of raw pace now, but he’s making mistakes which are exposing this more now. Wilson has lost something.. not much of a threat anymore. Almiron had his hot streak.. not adding loads at this point. But just generally we were all huff and puff without much quality. It’s disappointing, can’t blame the players for effort.. it’s all there! I think a few tweaks, and we have to approach the summer window with a total lack of sentimentality. The manager has some tough calls to make if we’re to kick on.
  7. If can get 1, we’ll kick on from there. We’ve been good for the most part, just a brain fart few mins, similar to Liverpool.. few of them walking a tightrope, we need to expose it and run at them. Big halftime talk for Howe..
  8. Deflection or not, he was sitting on his arse almost.
  9. I know the right thing happened but man he would have been handy for a penalty tomorrow if it goes that way
  10. Surprisingly you are correct. SJP = 114.8 yd × 74.4 yd Wembley = 115 yd x 74 yd There are some differences between grounds, Anfield and Stamford Bridge are noticeably smaller. Man City’s pitch is bigger than Wembley. ClubStadiumDimensions Emirates Stadium 115 x 74 yards Villa Park 115 x 74 yards Brentford Community Stadium 115 x 74 yards Amex Stadium 116 x 75 yards Turf Moor 115 x 73 yards Stamford Bridge 113 x 73 yards Selhurst Park 110 x 74 yards Goodison Park 112 x 78 yards Elland Road 115 x 74 yards King Power Stadium 110 x 76 yards Anfield 110 x 75 yards Etihad Stadium 116 x 77 yards Old Trafford 116 x 76 yards St James’ Park 115 x 74 yards Carrow Road 114 x 74 yards St Mary’s Stadium 112 x 74 yards Tottenham Hotspur Stadium 115 x 74 yards Vicarage Road 115 x 75 yards London Stadium 115 x 74 yards Molineux 116 x 74
  11. I’m excited and nervous for it, am hoping we play the game and not the occasion. The bigger pitch will effect both sides, for someone like Maxi it could be a massive opportunity to run into space, not sure he starts though. I think Joelinton gets left forward and Willock comes into midfield, where they swap throughout the match. Bring on Maxi when legs start getting tired. Bruno & Joe against Fred & Casemiro is intriguing.
  12. Let’s just hope we’ve been sandbagging a bit. We have to manage spells in this game when they will be bringing whatever energy they have, but you can tell they’ll fade a bit if we can ride those spells out. We will get chances but they will be rightful favourites based on form. Both of their goals came after Barca giving away possession near the box.. let’s try and avoid that..
  13. Cunt gave himself whiplash with his over the top reaction
  14. Some of them starting to blow out their arses.
  15. I’ll say one thing.. I’ve not seen a manager have such an impact in half time teamtalks as Ten Haag.
  16. A few of them look like they’re saving themselves for the weekend. Rashford strolling around loads.

    In memoriam

    RIP Motty - starting to feel old when all these staples of our youth are departing.
  18. The club had contact from several clubs looking to take him but he preferred to sit on his arse and collect wages. Once bitten, twice shy for Eddie.. Ryan has burnt his bridges now.
  19. “I knew it was them.. even when it was MBS, I knew it was the gays!”
  20. A brother of a man set to be executed got in touch with Newcastle supporters to hand deliver a letter to Eddie Howe who then went to the papers with their plans? As if. Nope, it’s a tweet put out so that some slimy reporter can ask the question about it in Eddie’s next press conference.
