Ugh just utterly fucked off by the lot of it.

 

Seriously want the season to end asap.

Why? We’re sixth?

When we're talking about Dummett as a potential replacement for Trippier, I know I'm pretty much done with this place and our support like. Fuck off man.

This place has always been full of absolute tatties who lack any sort of perspective.

Don’t think either Botman or Burn are fit enough to play a full 90 (or in Burn’s case play two matches in such quick succession), so I assumed it was planned.

Someone at some point is going to point out that the KSA and Yemeni govts are allies, and that flag represents the govt of Yemen …

Houthi surfer flag would be a tremendous self-own considering what it says. Hope they do it.

screaming in agony holding his hamstring and there's strapping around his thigh. Worrying. 

Appears that he’s about to be crushed by the Leazes too. Can’t believe our luck.

The team was naive and didn't manage the situation at all I think its a fair assessment. Of course we wanted to win but still had time to do so, Milan were the ones going out and were going to have go for it, being that open and expansive committing defenders forward out of position and playing like we were getting beat was daft. We need to look at that in big games, cup finals, European games etc or we can get used to loosing. 

Win or bust mentality in the context of Wednesday makes perfect sense though. There’s no part of me that thinks the club really wanted to drop into the Europa League when you consider how badly the CL fucked us. We could do with one game a week again for the next few months.

He’s class, but no one is paying £100m outright for him at the moment. He’s not in that very top tier of CMs that can command that type of fee. He will get there though.

.com is still my first port of call for NUFC news. It might not be the fastest but it’s trustworthy.

The On This Day section is invaluable too. Great reminder of some of the wank we’ve endured over the last couple of decades.

This was the banner they had planned. 

 

And they thought it was acceptable. 

Probably worried about getting sued by Mike Ashley

I would be hugely surprised if that was true. I was talking to him after the Man Utd game and he was still visibly in pain. Unless something has miraculously changed in the last two weeks.

That was just your patter.

It’s really only in the last two games we’ve looked truly knackered. Before that I don’t think there was any argument that we needed to change style, start parking the bus, play for draws and all that. We’ve just run out of road with two tough away games. 

It felt kind of inevitable that we’d suffer when you consider how much effort was expended against Chelsea, PSG and Man United. In the modern game you can’t play the same XI with virtually no subs five times in three weeks and not see a drop off in performance.
 

In hindsight Howe probably should’ve rotated against Everton - chuck in the kids and Ritchie, Dummett etc and take it as an L - but can you imagine the reaction? 

He’s a liability in this system. He might be able to play with his feet a bit better than Pope but he looks like he’d rather get kicked in the bollocks than come for anything around the penalty area.

Send up the bat signal for Ramsdale.

The Mariana Trench looks shallow compared to our goalkeeping department.

Whatever it is, it’s so transparent. At least Le Tiss actually believes the absolute shit he torpedoed his career for.

I’m more upset by how fucking lazy this anti-woke heel turn is than anything else. Ignore the attention seeking cunt. It’s tragic he’s had to pivot to this to pay his bills.

Got a month to get a few bodies back.

Someone’s jealous of his bunk beds

Oh fuck off

Decent performance but turned up today with his custom BG earring upside down. 6/10.

They were wank. No idea how that baldy fraud has a job. 

Thought he more or less ran the game in the first half. Ridiculous how comfortable he looks on the ball at his age.

I’ve long since come to the conclusion Pete either doesn’t really like football or doesn’t understand it. He’s always talked absolute shit. Most of his analysis is surface level stuff.

His self-flagellation about the takeover whenever he has to talk about us is mighty tiring too, and I feel broadly similar. I don’t need to go on about it constantly though.

Still not his biggest fan but he’s been on another level against Chelsea and PSG.

I generally quite enjoy Jonathan Liew’s sport takes but he’s clearly just decided to go for something that he knows will provoke a reaction. A lot of his writing is like that but often founded on a truth. Acting like we weren’t robbed yesterday to try and inflame our fans is a very weird line to take from a sports fan 

 

 

 

Bizarrely he’s wrote a really glowing article about Miley in which he’s more than complimentary about our performance.

Clearly just after the engagement.

Half nerves, half shagged.

 

I think Isak was told to play within himself in the second half too. Last thing we need is him being out for 6 weeks again. 

He barely moved second half after that early chance. The way Howe kept pulling him over made it look like he was being very heavily managed.
