et tu brute

Forget his defensive work, he is also an excellent passer of the ball and we have missed him feeding the through ball to our midfielders. Just prey that he has a period where he is injury free as he's still at a good age

Key game as it means with a win, we can go to Villa and still be ahead of them and City if god forbid we did lose. Made even more important that the game after is City v Villa and us v Ipswich

Their match thread on us was glorious until it was pulled (sharply as always when we win). They have now as a whole started to point out the money we have spent as the only reason we are where we are . Of course any of their fans saying we haven't spent as must as a lot of clubs are instantly quoted with bisto and mag. It's glorious seeing their mental breakdown playing out

Need to wake up or we could well lose this. Murphy and Barnes have been poor. Need to get Gordon on. Atmosphere for a key game has been absolutely woeful also

That cunt is the biggest coward going. Plenty of times when there is one of us on there, correcting bullshit from that forum with actual facts, he will immediately ban them and then celebrate about it with a post. Let's see if their main admin Pancho, removes this type of post, like he stated earlier he would do. Should make no difference that Cunt Keith is a mod either. You don't try and score points and slag off someone when they are suffering an illness. Some posts are genuinely very decent, but, there are also quite a few whilst wishing Howe well, can't resist to have a pop at him also.

We didn't man mark any Liverpool player (including Salah) in the final. If we play even close to the way we did that day, then we will win comfortably.

Massive risk to play him surely in a nothing match for you. If he gets injured, it will probably fuck your chances of champions league qualification, as he is the main output for your team. He is the one player you need for Thursday. Just seems totally senseless to me to take that risk. Mind reading between the lines from your side of reports, he may well be starting.

The game against us is relatively meaningless for them. A loss or a win may see them lose or gain a place or two at the end of the season, and 3-6 million quid (or whatever the money per placing is). However, failure to progress on Thursday, will see them miss out on relative fortune, no European football, a pretty big impact on their PSR moving forward, a major impact on the number of signings, and not being able to sign the level of quality in players they need. I maybe wrong, but, I would be gobsmacked if the likes of Fernandez (he is the key to their play) starts on Sunday. Maybe Garnacho also, with Mount playing in his place. I think the likes of Shaw, Mainoo, Eriksen and Lindlehof will probably start also. I can't see their manager risking an injury to his key first team players, when there is so much on the line. What I have seen their support are generally wanting this also. Time will tell though

Mackems getting hard ons over the headline on RTG. Desperation again on a nothing story. The level of threads containing increased faux outrage, comfy blankets, not interested in footy anymore, and the usual basic lies since our cup victory, have went up quite a dramatic level. I thought when our takeover happened, their response and utter fewm/bitterness was glorious to see, but, our cup win has sent them madly over the edge. Us getting Champions League football will send them over the edge, whilst if we don't, it will be seen as one of the greatest days in their footballing lives. We may well be playing them next season, as the standard is the worst I've ever seen in the Championship, and I wouldn't put money on any of the play off teams who qualify winning. Could quite literally be any of them. I would have preferred Burnley or Leeds to finish in third, but, it's looking more like a Sheff Utd team in poor form will be the ones. If the mackems don't go up this year, then they will be forced to sell players and have another three teams within the league with a lot more revenue available to them. Doesn't affect us, they are miles away from us and that will only increase moving forward.

Saudi sportwashing thread

I see the faux outrage has appeared again, sad broken cunts

Very decent set of results this weekend. Some maybe will say Villa wasn't, but, if we win the next three games, then we will be at least five points above Villa and within 1 point (maybe less) of Forrest. Up to the players, if they have the attitude and play to the level, which is even close to the standard of the Liverpool game, then I just can't see us not winning the next three (even though Palace and Man U are in better form). Brentford, although not the best performance overall, was a vital win, as it was always going to be a test after the emotions of the final and parade. Make a statement lads tonight, go into the match with the right attitude and not thinking it will be a walkover. Getting Champions League is massive for us for next season. It will be the difference of adding one or two extra quality players and taking us to the next step forward.

Saka returning will help, would love to see it mind

Fair

If we win the next three, then we'll be in a very strong position to qualify top 5. I actually think Gordon will be key to this. I'm hoping we have a reaction, for his recent stupidity and additionally, with the fans sticking by him (unlike Everton fans), I honestly believe he will be really fired up on his return.

I think the media are on a witch hunt with him. They know he will react, so the goading is now constant. Just about every game he is the one manager, who is constantly in the headlines. You never see that with Arteta or previously Klopp, who are two utter cunts in their interviews. I'm not saying Ange shouldn't be asked questions about his style of management or team results, but, the media are deliberately trying to antagonise him now for a reaction.

James Whale when he was on Metro years ago was very good also

it would be funny as fuck as the mackems would explode. Quite happy for Coventry to have them seething also mind

I's actually be quite ok for Boro to win the playoffs. We have hardly played them in years, so the once quite bitter rivalry of the 80s and 90s is not the same. More importantly though it would totally devastate the mackem cunts, with their two north east rivals being in the league above. Also gives us a local(ish) game

Aye Shearer was biting like fuck

Aye the daft fucker (he's still trying google maps), should do an actual investigation into something which is factual, why does his own club post attendance figures, which are at least 5,000 less (midweek 15,000) than the figure given. He's wetting himself, because a few thick mackem cunts on that board believe him. No fucker is going to look at what that daft cunt put, apart from the comfy blanket brigade and a few of us taking the piss out of the sad obsessed twat. I can't wait for the years coming. They are totally smashed beyond belief. If we qualify for the Champions League, there should be a suicide watch put in place

So Sporty has spent literally hours, firstly trailing through here to check for 'Micky Mouse Cup' quotes, and then trying to prove via Google maps () that there wasn't 300,000 at the parade. Hours, to then say 'in my opinion' (), having proven sweet fuck all. He will be looking on here the typical mackem spenk. Absolute idiot the bloke is, who tries constantly to con the thick cunts on there, with his long posts. Never seen him right about anything, whether it be our owners, team or parade. Obsessive posts made up of total shite speculation, with no factual evidence in support. I suppose he likes to feed the monkeys over there, as he usually has them frothing with his bullshit. Daft cunt, which level headed person spends hours looking at google maps, whilst totally failing to make any point

Sporty (imbecile cunt who is always wrong regarding us) now doing an in depth analysis to try and prove that there wasn't 300,000 at the parade He's going to check google maps now. It's absolutely glorious to see how broken and wound up all the daft twats are.

So it's now down to trawling old threads and posts on here for their comfy blanket. I've seen the lot now, it hasn't only broken them it's absolutely crushed them

Aye he's one of the bitter ones over there and likes to tell a few fairytales the daft cunt. One was trying to say they had 750,000 in 73 for their parade. Must have been counting all the fish coming from the North Sea . Even a basic population check now 52 years later, tells you that is a fairytale, that even the Brothers Grimm would struggle to beat. Broken absolutely broken and it's only going to get worse you sad mackem twats
