Optimistic Nut

Sam Allardyce and his little run across the pitch at half-time?

If we consider that had we lost to West Ham, their maximum tally would have been 42 points, we've been pretty much safe since MD29 when we won at Chelsea.

One for the Capologists. Saw a photo of the so-called wages of Bournemouth players. Fraser Forster down as £40k and in their top half of earners. No chance.

You'd think European football is very important for someone like Chelsea with the number of players they have, just to give game time? Think they'll get at least a draw up at Sunderland.

No excuses next season. As a minimum he should be getting us back above the likes of Bournemouth & Brighton who will be managing Europe with far less resources than we did. Top 6 should be the minimum requirement.

The Scottish League has been the only thing keeping me hooked for a couple of months and even that was ruined by the officials.

Worst thing that can happen to the league, this. There's boring football, then the brand of football Arsenal serve up. Previously it's been a means to get by for smaller clubs to compete against the big boys (Stoke, Wimbledon, etc). I really hope this isn't the start of it at the top end. It's ghastly.

Keeps Liverpool honest on Sunday if Bournemouth win this so helps our small European hopes. Hopefully Spurs get something.

I'm enjoying it like. Just think if we get a good offer off the back of it, I wouldn't be against cashing in. We've been horrific for cashing in on "purple patch" players while their stock is high.

Feels more of a Leon Best 10/11 streak to me rather than much more.

I think Maresca is a sound appointment. Chelsea fucked up royally this season by fumbling him. Might also just be a place holder for when Kompany gets bored in Germany.

Yep and it's the same fucking shite we keep reading. Fuck this. I'm out.

Sunday was 3.5 days after limping off injured, tonight is 8 days.

Shocked, but honestly shouldn't be, at the number of people seemingly happy for him to go. Mental.

Coventry or Boro must have £12-15m they'd like to give for Murphy this summer.

Knowing our fans this will be the one poll we jump on so that our player doesn't win..

Probably was enforced by Bruno, Miley & Joelinton spells out that Tonali played more, and Thiaw due to Botman & Schar.

This was a month ago: We've played 27 league games for instance but only Tonali, Thiaw & Bruno of the outfield players have started 20+ of them. Tonali & Thiaw with the most on 23. We've played 10 Champions League games, no-one has started more than 8.

You wouldn't think it from your posts. Absolute mood hoover. Thought Ashley going would stop this sort of negativity. One bad season and wow. Can't be arsed with it anymore. Going to block off from social media and the like and just enjoy NUFC again. Even in the slight down times.

It's the same people unhappy with everything. It's tiresome as fuck.

On one hand people craving for us to sign from the continent, on the other, wanting said players to not play important games for their countries.

I think that first line applies to most top footballers now unfortunately.

Boro was going to be the one I looked at.

If they'd even just contributed half of that for us, we'd have thought bang average, not worth the fees, but we'd be in around top 5-6 still. Jesus.

It's have been a 6 or 7 if he'd done that.
