et tu brute

That's very true also

Might seem crazy, but I'm half hoping Jota (very good player), plays as usual instead of Nunez. Nunez has been very disappointing in his time over here (I can see him leaving very soon), but he does cause us problems with his pace and his finishes have been top notch against us also when he's scored. Mind Jota doesn't have a bad record against us either to be fair.

Agree, as I was more than concerned that it was going to be one of those games. City didn't really start playing until that goal

Many new jobs introduced and a revised, clean and attractive green area in (and bigger if that is right) Leazes Park, will surely cater for all sides and any objections. It's been left to basically rot for years and is currently not an attractive area of green belt. I am more than certain that the club would have already discussed their plans with many interested parties.

They're creating nonsensical scenarios to try and justify their obvious cases of bricking it. The amount of them saying PIF will get board and walk away, despite the fact that it is very likely that they will be investing their own money (not a loan) and two billion at that into the club, demonstrating the exact opposite to this fantasy. There's a lot of straws going to be needed in chicken town for the years ahead

A few still saying that the Saudis will fuck I off when they get bored . Aye if we get the likely new stadium, they're really going to fuck off after spending probably 2 billion on a stadium and training centre. Also they need to modernise their ground and look at extending to head off at the pass, losing concerts. Were the fuck is their money coming from, when they lose money every single year. Daft cunts

With MBS and Trump in attendance , could you imagine

I still have a pretty confident feeling that he will play Willock and not Barnes. Reason is that Willock will enable a press far better than Barnes and also can double up with Joelington to give better protection to Livermento against Salah. Obviously maybe totally wrong.

Another nail in their coffin

Hope's updated fuck you message to the bald cunt

I'd add Arsenal to that also

Looks like their support are not happy with the season ticket prices and 'rules' (ones who pay anyway). Has their kids prices just about doubled now? If that's the case they will need more school, university and workplace canvassing

Sensible kick off time seeing that probably most of the Durham fans and players will be Newcastle fans

You're totally right. Going to be interesting the next year or two as both Man U and Chelsea are starting to be sucked out of their own safe house

Excellent if I was Howe I would be getting all the players in to watch it

Forest have a decent game at the weekend, I honestly think they will finish in the top 4 as they are like us a couple of year ago, where they're just not having a run of bad/losing games. Chelsea have had two great games just gone, but have not pulled away either. I think fourth and fifth will be between City, Chelsea, Us and I still wouldn't rule Villa out either. City you would expect will take one of the spots, though they are still tripping up regularly. Arsenal are lucky they have such a gap as they look relatively toothless up front and the gap has reduced a bit with their current form.

Their manager has done more than a decent job. The problem over there, is that they totally overate their players, with laughable thinking that players are worth twenty million plus and that they have generational talents also. They forget they were in relegation form for most of the second half of last season and that their best player by a mile was sold. Maybe get Bally in for the play offs, daft cunts.

I thought Almiron had sneaked in at left back yesterday. Gets into great positions, but unfortunately due to playing out of position, he was cutting back onto his right all the time. Just the way it is with injuries, it's weird how he seems to get forward more and in better attacking positions, when he actually plays left back.

Mustn't think they would beat PSG anymore

Nissan must have a big project on tonight

Grealish is great with disabled people, no doubt due to his relationship with his sister who is severely disabled. However, as soon as drink is involved he is an absolute knackered. Nothing displayed this better, than when he took the piss out of Almiron (one of the most honest and friendly people you will ever see), whilst mortal drunk. He's also one of the most arrogant footballers I've ever seen.

It was a shame his overall attitude wasn't good enough. Should have been a name football was talking about for years to come. Unbelievable but unfortunately wasted talent

Big difference is that this trophy gives you champions league football, which is pretty crucial in terms of PSR movement and also for attracting players to the club. Your standing and history as a club won't attract the top footballers anymore. Ten Haag was right it did save your season, as it meant that you had two opportunities for champions league football at the start of the season; and if you hadn't won the cup, then your season would have been finished last Sunday. You still have a massive target to sin for despite your worst season in decades in terms of league form.

Aye I agree the back four are just not up to the job and I just can't see Liverpool not taking advantage of that. It would have been better if the cup final was this weekend as they may have taken a few key players out due to the second leg of the champions league being all to play for
