  1. Just missed out on my 66/1 goal treble of Che Adams, Tielemans and Lingaard yesterday. we go again today with a couple more. 
     

    Watkins, Bale and Firminio 16/1

    Longshot one- Grealish, Alli and Sigurdsson 60/1

     

  2. Zidane should go manage a French club, take on a club like Marseille to topple PSG or revive his old club Bordeaux. Do something challenging and interesting. Boring managers just going between top clubs with all the best players and money. I would want to challenge myself and try to be a legend at a club that hasn’t won anything for a good while instead of giving ungrateful fans like Real Madrid, Chelsea etc more trophies

    I do agree, but my life would be a tiny bit better knowing Bruce wasn’t anything to do with the club. I wouldn’t expect us to compete, but I could forget about his existence.

    Fair point!

    The squad is useless, the first 11 are probably capable of 12th. Our striking options after Wilson are joelinton, Gayle and Carroll. Our central midfielders after willock and shelvey are Longstaff, Hayden and Hendrick. We have no decent fullbacks. Take ASM and almiron out and you end up with an unfit Fraser, Murphy and Ritchie.

    Our squad depth is appalling. We rely on 4 or 5 really good players to drag the others through.

    Agreed. I’m no Bruce fan but lots of our fans seem to think we have a top 10 team! Any manager would be toiling around 13th with this mob. Ashley is the issue. Benitez, Bruce, Guardiola or Kinnear it matters not until Ashley goes as it will be the same scramble for survival every time. 

  5. How do people actually rate and see this squad? Not just the first 11 but the squad as a whole, where would you say is a respectable finish for it? I would say around 12th-14th is our level. Coming 13th in Benitez last season shows that too. Good enough to just avoid the bottom 6 but short on quality and depth to push for 10th.
     

    If Bruce gets back to back 13th place finishes with Joelinton as our main striker last year and ASM and Wilson both missing 10+ games this year and no legs in midfield until February then purely on results and league placing I would have to give him a C grade for his 2 years here and I’ve been one of his biggest slaters!  

    Bottom line is we are never going to have a squad capable of maintaining top 10 until Ashley goes, the last 14 years have shown that. Not had back to back top half finishes since the early 00s.

    Judging by the reaction to lastnights game the tickets on general sale will be snapped up 🤮 i saw the game lastnight and didn't move an inch when we scored because it's worth nothing 

    Yeah it’s all definitely meaningless in the grand scheme of things. I have just decided to watch  and treat each game as a one off game and enjoy watching some of the good players that we have and the spirit in the team. I celebrate goals and enjoy a result but then a day or 2 later I have totally forgot about it as there is no hope or chance of anything good or sustained progress under Ashley and I certainly won’t step foot in SJP again until Ashley leaves.

    I’ll have what you’re having please 

    What’s not true about what I said? Dubravka, Schar, Fede, Willock, ASM, Wilson and Almiron all well liked players. Lot of hard working reliable players like Ritiche, Murphy Dummett etc

    And in the last 3 months we have won well at Everton and Leicester, drew at Anfield which we were robbed of a win. Beat West Ham at home, drew with Tottenham at home and currently drawing with Man City. Good as it gets for Ashleys NUFC this. I have accepted to make the most of this as having a likeable, hard working team  that can pull off some good results v the top half teams is as good as it gets and as much as we can hope for until Ashley leaves.
