  1. Didn't even see a VAR message - "Checking possible penalty" unless I missed it?
  2. A potential player here, surprised and delighted to see him start in a CL game and he looked assured and unfazed at the occasion. Thought Feyenoord had some lovely attacking play, was actually more entertained by the game than the Newcastle result. Less emotion invested and I could just enjoy the football on display.
  3. Ok, my honest opinion. Absolutely delighted with a point away at the San Siro against last years semi-finalists in the CL. I think some of our players were a little pressurised in the circumstance of the game and never really settled. No real complaints though about any of them. That said, as much as I love Burn and Pope I would love a keeper who was good with his feet as Pope is saving shots, It seems so important these days. And I really would like a left back with genuine recovery pace and positional sense. No disrespect to Burn but he can both be slow and caught out of poition (recovery wise-linked to pace I guess). Hopefully the capture of Lewis Hall solves that sooner than later... Think it was a great result tbh, one point on the board (away from home in Europe) means we can't be adrift at the bottom of the group. Onward and upwards boys...
  4. I think that was the toughest one tbh, watch Dortmund prove me wrong.
  5. He literally is relaying information he heard on the radio. It is not his opinion. A lot of talk from T(alk)Sport fans... and these were suggestions/scenarios for a lot of the fans on the radio today,
  6. As far as I can see he reads the game very well, but I am no analyst. He is struggling a little, perhaps, with the pace of our league and needs more time, but every fucker on the pitch suffered under the passing triangles of Brighton in that game. They were excellent, and maybe we were lacking in more than just midfield. Personally I thought Burn had a shocker. From memory that is four games now where I've been a bit dismayed that Eddie has not changed something that clearly needed changing. Last thing I want to do is criticise Eddie Howe as I think he is brilliant. But there comes a time you need to be more pragmatic with the need of three points paramount. The system cannot be infallible, no system is, it needs the ability to be adaptable beyond changing a few players in like for like roles - or near enough like for like. If we had sat back a bit, and not been so expansive, just keeping runners forward I think it would have been a different game.
  7. One thing I think we need to keep in mind when seeing/reading that shite - that would be the one of social media having the ability to magnify the voice of the insignificant minority to almost epic proportions. They are not the barometer for the rest of us.
  8. I read the response and literally thought Christ! then looked at the posters icon and username and facepalmed myself.
  9. You could start a fight in an empty fucking house you could, imagine signing off on that shit with the word enjoy ! (Made it to 4 minutes and a few secs and thought fuck this shit).
  10. Surprised I need to. First post after yours, by El Prontonise, explains my feelings on the subject.
  11. Great, more betting scandal temptations for everyone.
  12. £10.00 £149.43 6 Folds (x1) @14.94 Bruno Guimaraes - Player To Attempt 30 Or More Passes Sandro Tonali - Player To Attempt 30 Or More Passes Harvey Barnes - Player Shots on Target 1 or More Joelinton - Player Shown a Card Over 3.5 Corners - Away Total Corners 3.5 Alexander Isak - Player Shots on Target 1 or More
  13. City's home record last season 17W 1D 1L 60GF 17GA. (They drew with Everton and lost to Brentford!) That was yesterday, tomorrow is another day. City 1-2 Newcastle
  14. Damn! Did NOT see this coming, thought it was all paper talk..
  15. Maybe he knows she has always been shan, or maybe he got offered some money and he's the total cunt. Take your pick.
  16. Hate Halaand now, the way he was flicking/waving his fingers like it was par for the course after their third penalty. Honestly want to ream them like we did Villa on Saturday.
  17. If we hit 80 pts I'll be balls deep in the next cow to jump over the moon I tell ya.
  18. Seriously? Routine? Man U were effing lucky they got a win!
  19. Eventually we will be the biggest club in the world.
  20. KK was the ultimate motivator, everything he did was in building passion and the power of belief. Eddie is the tactical version, combined with belief! Eddie is the best. (Rafa who?)
  21. Jeez, this forum certainlyy points out who's glass is half full and who's is half empty. First thought you come up with is SHIT! what if we lose him? Rather than we are one of the best teams in the world?
  22. Guilty as charged, extremely glad Eddie knew way more than I ever could - not being on the training pitch day in day out. Genuinely thought the game against Villa in yankland showed how far he might be away from adjusting. Glad I was utterly wrong. That was his debut! How good is he going to get? Hope Bruno doesn't get his nose out of joint
