I'd also like to know just how class the atmposphere at SJP is, and just how important it is that the atmosphere is class. If he has any thoughts on just how much he loves a No. 9 that'd be a bonus too.

I reckon Jack's got picked simply because of his thread-starting noteriety. He's the Boris Johnson of the forum, ensuring he hogs the public eye.

He has the teeth of a Liverpool player. Keep the faith.

I'd say 16 in 43 games is a good return from a 20/21 year old in his first year in the country.

"Chelsea also not considering a bid" seems a massive red flag to me.

Olmo looks a clasy player from the little I've seen of him. That said, 95 days out, 84 days out and 111 days out though injury over the last 3 seasons would be a bit of a concern if he was to be our big summer signing. Might be less injury risk for him in a slightly slower more technical league. Anyway, I suspect there will be bigger octopuses that us looking to get their tentacles on him.

Big Jow! Since the takeover Trippier's been the team's brains. Bruno's been the team's heart. Big Dan Burn's been the team's soul. But Big Jow's been the team's massive swinging dick, sweeping aside all who stand before him. Let's hope he's in good health and ready to come out swinging.

Basically, everyone makes better-looking shirts than Adidas. But that sweet, sweet up front payment!

Not a handball for me, arm movement looked pretty natural even if they were out wide. Arms do go out wide for balance sometimes. Wasn't a penalty either for me. Ultimately the defender's instinctively just sticking a foot out to block the shot. If anything Kane kicks him in his follow through. For it to be a foul it has to be careless, reckless or using excessive force. Don't think it was any of those. It's whatever the footballing equivalent of a racing incident is. Overall, first half much better. Kind of how I would expect us to be able to play, though I can only really remember Foden's off-the-line as a clear cut chance. Second half was largely pretty turgid again. Overall thought we deserved the win. Thought the Netherhollands were very unimpressive though for the most part. First half they were all over the shop defensively, no-one seemed to be picking anyone up, which helped us out. 2nd half they got organised and largely shut our attacking game down but looked very uninspiring going forward.

Wonderful finish from Watkins. Probably deserved overall as first half Dutch decided not to mark and we were quite dominant, though I can only remember one really clear cut chance. Second half they decided to mark us and largely nothing happened. Overall though we were better than them. Have to say I was very underwhelmed with the Netherhollands. Thought they would have something about them going forward.

Trippier OP

It's the mo-fo's still staring into their phone while celebrating that gets me the most. Deport those fuckers to Rwanda.

newcastle-online doesn't fulfil brummie. Ban that ingrate!

Look at all those fuckers on their phones during the penalty. WATCH THE EVENT YOU SAD FUCKS. No-one cares about your shitty phone footage. Professional camera operators with far better equipmant have filmed it. God I hate smart phones.

Much better performance - this should be our baseline level with the players we have - though I can't remember many clear-cut chances, other than foden's that was cleared off the line. Dutchies have been turbo-gash though. They don't seem to mark people in midfield which has helped.

Netherlands don't seem to have any defensive structure.

Never a penalty

Great strike but Pope saves that. Extra reach OP.

Honestly I find this attitude from Southgate absolutely infuriating. It's grade-A Pardew. 'Oh our team couldn't possibly perform well because they were better than the other team. How can you expect some of the best footballers in the world to cope with the pressure of playing against someone worse than them?' It drives me nuts. How do you expect the team to play well with that mentality? And it's coming from the manager. GAAAAARH!

"You're gonna need a bigger accountancy department."

This is a thread about other clubs' transfers so it doesn't seem totally out of place for people to discuss Man U transfers in it, given they are another club and they have made some transfers at times.

Also, he's a footballer, showing football clips of him is hardly out of context. I want clips of him dropping an ice cream on himself or having elephants steal his lunch at the zoo.
