Big Geordie Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 The NUFC that exists now, is very different to the one that was when Ben Arfa joined the club.

The Prophet Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 There were people calling for Botman to go on strike when Lille wouldn't budge last January. I'm reluctant to criticise when we aren't privy to what is going on behind the scenes. Just look at Lingard last January, Man United completely shafted him.

TRon Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 No one will give a flying fuck about Gordon's shithousery if he pulls on a toon shirt. In fact we'll love him even more for it.

The College Dropout Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Why couldn’t James Maddison not turn up for training? Not turning up for training for your club that you’ve been at since a youth and presumably support is BRAZY. Kane did it though and everybody has forgotten.
