At least 10 more games without a yellow I love your optimism. But I just can't see it. I heard it was 6 but you might be right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) Bruno trying to avoid a yellow at all costs will not be a great version of himself either. Will probably be a bit more careful, but can't have him be too careful either. He is going to have to take some risks and will get the yellow that way.

But I wouldn't be surprised if he has been told to consider it given the horrific state of our midfield options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoSelecta Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Take the yellow tonight. We can spank Luton at home without him and that’s half the ban served. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoSelecta Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 He has to serve the ban at some point. If you could cherry pick 2 games to go out and win without him then Luton (H) would be one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's Lewis Hall who fancies himself a midfielder, presuming there's not some appearance clause which we are scared of triggering. Also that Joe White fella who we just recalled from loan (I think). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering about him as well, he is 18 so is older than Miley, but I just can't see Howe putting him on the bench yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could've been our starting midfield 3 years down the line in the Championship without the takeover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we beat them preseason? Can’t recall and .com are down, but we beat them this season, and their seeking revenge for that will be outweighed by our seeking revenge for what happened there last season. HTL ( no’wubble you’!)

MagSA Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Not sure how I feel about the game tonight and then went looking through our recent results and trying to get a sense of when I was super excited for a match and we were right up for it and got the job done. Probably the mackems however they were quite poor, and then before that Manure at home which was early Dec. It's been a tough couple of months so not sure what to expect tonight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, until a flukey streak in November we only won twice away and only won 5 times in total. In a full year of football.

Ended 3-3. Trailed 2-0 and 3-2. We played a different system with Trippier as a third CB. At the time I thought we might have done it to give Emery something to think about before the first game of the season and, considering we haven't tried this formation again, I still think that may have been the case.

You said under Pardew, 2014 was all Pardew, so you would if the question is whether it was ever this bad under Pardew. I mean tbf, I really hope you're just being tongue in cheek about it anyway.
