Front 6 of: Saka-Odegaard-Partey-Skelly-Zinchenko Martinelli Presuming Trossard is out with a hamstring injury.

Siem de Lung?

Wembo tickets and shirt colour selection threads already up marra, nowt like taking it for granted:

To be fair, even their own fans are calling some of their posters morons on this stuff.

Will be some regen. Bukayo Lewis-Nketiah, or such like.

Agree. Unless there are a couple of stellar youngsters to come through to bolster the rotation options, we’ll go through peaks and troughs like the 23/24 season. Hopeful that we get some minutes from the Shahar, Sanusi and Alabi’s of this world. Presumably a nicer cup draw or two would help.

Nonna?

He’ll have been juiced to the gills.

So that just about offsets the adidas and merit money parts. Just the £45m loss of Europe money to save now. Presuming that’s Mainoo or Garnacho sold to cover the balance.

Given Ratcliffe’s pleading of poverty, onerous legacy contracts and £30m drop off in league position merit money this season, plus adidas being able to pay them less sponsorship money for failing to make the CL I’m all for seeing these arrogant dickheads brought down a peg or two and brought out of their media fluffing bubble into cold hard reality. Plus @leffe186 isn’t anywhere near the despicable wind up merchant as@Froggy is! Last season they made £37m in merit payments from U.K. and International. This season 16th would net them £14m and 17th £11.3m. By contrast we got £39.4m and could go up to either £53.5m for 2nd. No CL would see them drop the c.€50m they’ve earned in the EL for reaching the final with no European revenue coming in. That’s another chunky drop off. Then reduced payments from adidas - £10m a season deductible for not being in the CL. Brexit Jim will have to find a lot of dinner ladies and stewards to sack to make up that shortfall.

Those two games being Villa away and Brighton at home…

Think we might have done it to Southampton in 2022/23 the last time we played Carabao Cup semi finals. H - 3-1 win A - 4-1 win LCH - 2-1 win LCA - 1-0 win

Scary good. Mown down all of the relegation fodder and generally held outfought and outthought our Top 6 peers. Now to solve the pesky south coast cuckold clubs problem for next year…

Hoping the Everton players stick on their adidas slides and beachwear once they get the big Woodison goodbye out of the way next weekend.

Quick scan of online papers shows yesterday was all about Chelsea and not NUFC. The sooner these deadbeat journalists try focusing on the emerging clubs and not the dying empires might be the best thing they do.

I’d walk rather than coach for that sweaty Greek pleb.

Wow! Takes some getting used to not choking these type of games.

One of Spurs or Man Utd is going to take a hell of a tv revenue hit (-9+ places in the PL at £3m a place) plus missing out on Europe altogether. Can’t decide which one would be best to lose the final.

Presuming the media love-in for Odd Todd’s Squad is still going as strong as ever. Detestable club, fans, players and Primark Pep in charge.

Regularly as in twice in 3 season? Compared to Leicester who did it once?

I hear the Geordie boys are taking over…
