Missed the boat unfortunately it’s where the Barnes money should have went.

If true this is really significant and something long standing for the future of the club. https://x.com/thelittlemans/status/1742930650989232162?s=20

Even Boro used to take over Trafalgar, seems like a few have been hoodwinked by the mackems going on like it was something never done before. Only difference is social media was around when they got back to Wembley.

Think some of these unsold BCB tickets are being offered without access to the bar at GA price

I concur it was fucking embarrassing and as for the show of defiance at the end, if waving your flags while not singing is defiance then somethings gone horribly wrong with our support. In every one of the trips to Wembley under Keegan, Dalglish and Robson the pubs, tubes and Wembley Way were bouncing, the mancs took the fucking piss on Wembley Way when they showed up and our lot as you have said we’re flat to put it politely.

I accept Wembley’s not conducive to a great atmosphere, but the Mancs managed to make a decent racket compared to us on the day. The majority of their end stood and seemed a lot more passionate than our lot throughout.

The ones who sat on their arse while Ashley took the piss as well, just happy for their day out regardless of the state of club. Personally think it shone through at Wembley and now in the away support since points dropped, find it strange loyal season ticket holders only have 5 and less points but are now clamouring for away days.

Fucking YouTubers and season ticket holders who sat at Wembley like mutes are the main reason the away has turned to shit, so what if we we’re under the cosh at Liverpool when’s that ever been an excuse not to sing away from home on an 8pm kick off.

My honest thoughts are where fucked and this is only going one way. We’ll make Clarke and Roberts look like world beaters and we’ll be absolutely dragged down to their level, with misplaced passes and daft fouls given away all over the shop. Sheffield Wednesday last season all over again unfortunately.

By all accounts the atmosphere at Liverpool was horrendous on NYD. Despite the big numbers going on Saturday, got a horrible feeling it’ll be one of our most embarrassing shows of support at this fixture ever.

According to Kieran Maguire in the Times FFP is about to bite a few more clubs on the arse, with Forrest and a 2nd charge levelled at Everton mooted.

Howe out. That’s Andy his nephew head of 1st team technical scouting.

Yeah walk away he’s not a game changer long term to take us to next level. If we need to write this season off for the greater good so be it.

I’d be fearing a league one team away from home at the minute never mind this lot.

He’s decided to tuck in and mark our own Centre Backs whilst leaving his man wide open too often now. Positionally, he’s all over the shop and needs dropped, the benefit of extra height he provides is negated by the liability he’s become during open play.

Forgot about Minteh, but regardless of Tonali I think there’s been a marked shift and Howe has exerted his preference for mainly British based players in last 2 windows. Lets see how this window pans out but think we’ll see British players to the fore again. Regardless of where they’re from I just hope he sees we need more than running power and intensity to take us forward.

He’s not beyond criticism and the team have had nearly a full week to prepare for tonight and still looked a fucking shambles at the back. Yes it’s Liverpool, but Man U recently went there and didn’t look anywhere near as disjointed as we did. It’s not about tonight in isolation the last 3 games have been shambolic, simple balls played to players unmarked for tap ins. He’s still the man but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried.

I think we all know how this one pans out.

I’ll be honest I don’t know what to think at this point, is this just a blip, or are we seeing him unravel like he did at Bournemouth in the end, hopefully the former.

1 out of last 5 signings have come from abroad that’s why I think that, the rest have been young British players with PL experience.

All those players were scouted heavily by Nickson I get the impression his influence has waned considerably at this point.

Is it sustainable though season after season, surely you have to evolve to make the next step ?

Clearly you need a joint up approach to transfers but these continual links to players like Gallagher and McTominay concern me. I’m fully behind Eddie Howe the coach, but keep him and his fucking brother away from transfers. It was clear as day in the CL you need more than intensity and running, got a horrible feeling Howe’s type of player and his preference of young British players will prove his undoing in the end.

They might be unbeaten but they we’re hardly great recently at home against Fulham and Man U, I disagree it’s not a free hit we should be going there expecting to give them a game.

Nobody should expect a howking tonight we’ve spent a fucking fortune on players, this isn’t Mike Ashley’s NUFC anymore. Aye we usually get shafted here by some bad call and fully expect the same tonight, but we should give them a decent game going off their last few performances at home, if where passive and just bend over for the cunts tonight, Howe and players will deserve criticism.
