  1. Still love the fact that people still haven’t worked out that the 70th minute isn’t the minute which starts with ‘70’
  2. Feels like that was coming tbh. Sucker punch stuff. All came from a tame pass from Targett. Fuck knows how we’ll break these down now - it’ll be 11 men in the 18 yard box
  3. Poor sod. He’s the definition of powderpuff. Works his bollocks off mind
  4. We’ve not been used to teams playing like this for a couple of decades at SJP. Showing NUFC a lot of respect - problem is we’re a year or two away from being that side. Still think we’ll win this though.
  5. Bournemouth doing a good job of closing here. It won’t last though - they’ll run out of steam. We just need to be patient and not make any daft mistakes
  6. Yep, the failure to sign a good winger in the summer is telling. We’re a winger away from being a good side for me.
  7. There ye gan, silence observer impeccably, ‘God Save the King’ … not exactly bellowed out. Amused me when they zoomed in on the crowds - most not singing, some of those who were were clearly singing ‘God Save the Queen’ …
  8. Yes, the bench isn’t great, but we knew that. It’s going to take a couple of years and several windows to build up a decent squad. Frightening to think about just how broken we were - Ashley handing out big contracts to second tier footballers meant we probably had the weakest squad we’d had during his horrendous ownership. Bruno is back though, three points today, ho’way you beautiful bastards
  9. I think McClaren brought Shelvey in. Could be wrong like, can’t be arsed to check
  10. I’m neither ashamed nor proud to be British - I had nothing to do with where I was born. I’m happy to have been born British though - there are many places around the world which, had I been born there, my life opportunities would have been significantly worsened. And there are some (fewer) places where my life would have been better - that’s why I emigrated.
  11. I also don’t think he’s had many bad games - but he isn’t an international class footballer. If you want proof, look at the gulf in quality between him and our FB on the opposite flank. Even then, there is an argument that Trippier isn’t even one of England’s best three right backs. This isn’t to say that Targett isn’t a good PL FB, but he isn’t England quality for me.
  12. There’s something genuinely moving about a minute’s silence, properly observed. 50,000 people not making a peep of noise. The vast, vast majority will respect it irrespective of their personal political position. And that should be enough, really.
