  1. They really should have had this anchoring thing in place years ago and without the revenue percentage cap. That way all teams could’ve spent the same amount of money, creating more of a level playing field. Obviously you’d want some sort of owner backed assurance tied to it so clubs don’t overspend what they can afford.
  2. They were so lucky against Brentford, Liverpool and Bournemouth. Should have been three defeats and three points less. I’ll be gutted if we can’t finish above them
  3. The next two games are key for me. We need to take a minimum of 4 points as I think Man Utd lose to Arsenal and I can’t see them beating Crystal Palace. We should hopefully be 2/3 points ahead of them going to Old Trafford

    Alexander Isak

    I actually think he’s the best striker in the world. I have been saying this to everyone around me and they try to debate it and say I’m deluded. I just can’t think of anyone that I’d rather have (even the likes of Mbappe). He’s on his way to 20 goals in the PL and he’s not been able to run for half the games he played. Imagine him playing for a team challenging for titles, he’d get 40 goals a season no problem - lucky nobody can afford to buy him!

    Epic NUFC photos

    Anybody got any new photos of the walk to the stadium? I’m trying to get some artwork commissioned and some ideas would be grateful. I haven’t been up to the stadium for a year or so
  6. Oh and he won’t go to Man Utd because they’re not an elite side. It’s a side step for his career right now and he deserves to play for a team that’s competing to win the big trophies
  7. Loves the city as well. My social media stalking has him always seemingly in Paris when he’s got time off
  8. Seems confusing to me. So we can only spend 70/80% of the anchoring calculation for all team expenses (wages, transfer fees and agent fees) or is it something different?
  9. I can see a scenario where he comes back next season and Almiron is sold. We use the money from Almiron to fund other moves which are now more important due to the injuries. We end up with him, Murphy, Gordon and Barnes for the two wide positions with big and little Joe standing in on the left if needed
  10. My PL fantasy football stats 10 goals and 13 assists. So the penalties count - lovely
  11. Fairly certain Gordon’s already got 10 assists
  12. That would make sense then. Chelsea’s spending spree over the last 12 months confused my thinking
  13. With the 3 year PSR cycle starting again, couldn’t we theoretically just spend £500m this summer and then take it easy on spending for the next two seasons? If we don’t break even then our defence when charged is that we thought we would sign higher commercial contracts and sell certain players - the Everton and Forest argument.
  14. I really think we can finish 5th and it will be above Villa. I mean I’m banking on Villa losing today and only picking up at most 4 points from their next 3 homes games. Let’s aim for five wins and a draw and get to 66 points and see where that takes us
  15. I knew he had talent, but I never thought he’d be a truly elite player - I’ll be happy to eat my hat
  16. This seems logical to me. I’m fuming if I’m a Leicester fan and having gone down to see one of those points deduction coming into play this season

    Harvey Barnes

    The biggest thing I’ve noticed is that he actually gets his head up when he runs and that trait seems to be a rare skill in modern football. For me, it’s one of the main reasons why he’s so effective - he can control the ball and run at pace while looking for a team mate - priceless
  18. This sort of stuff is what I’m actually most uncomfortable with. To me this is cheating and actually shouldn’t be allowed. What needs to change is the inability for owners to invest capital to drive progression
  19. He wouldn’t go to Bayern as they can’t afford him. It’ll be PSG, Man City or Real Madrid. Not sure he wants to go back to France, but it’s Paris and he seems to spend time there with his days off. Real are stacked with young central midfielders and you’d think they don’t have the money to get him considering what they’re already spending this summer. I can only see him at Man City as we have a good relationship with the owners and they will pay the money. I just don’t want him going anywhere and I’m gutted we’re so hamstrung financially that it’s even being contemplated. Just take the points deduction!
  20. Getting that win over the line yesterday would have had me full of confidence, but we can’t seem to string two wins together (haven’t done it since end of November).
  21. If think we’ll win this and then the week hasn’t actually been too bad in the end
  22. I’m really confused by what we wall seemed to have watched yesterday. I thought we played really well for a lot of the game (and the stats show that clearly). We deserved the win and the only real threat was the transition, but let’s be honest if the team is not on it, then a player like Kudus is so hard to stop and will cause big problems. Point taken that we keep conceding the same type of goal and Eddie needs to think about that, but that’s the way we play, squeeze the space and have a keeper that sweeps. We’ve just dropped our intensity for obvious reasons and it’s led to the opposition having more time on the ball to hurt us. Eddie gets next season for me without a shadow of a doubt and then I’ll go for him if the same problems aren’t being addressed in a new season
  23. A chance for the referee to have the opportunity to fix the second goal massive error
  24. We need to find someone to help us lift the curse hanging over this club
