Aye. Gordon isn’t as effective out there. Neither is Barnes and Joelinton. Howe is trying different combos but we just don’t have anyone good enough at RW. miggy surely must be sold in January.

We’ve got two good LCBs. Both injured. Burn would have dealt with that.

We’ve not been able to put the ball away at home this season.

Not a bad performance. It just didn’t go in for us but Antonio is causing us issues. Gordon and Willock have been really poor. We could really do with a decent right winger.

Aye. It never really works like that. They are expecting a drubbing and we are confident. I’m predicting a tough, tight game.

They aren’t the same without Rodri. I suspect they’ll go for a 6 in the window if this run continues

Kyle Walker still can’t come to terms with the fact he isn’t as quick as he thinks he is anymore.

Not quite. If any team could fuck this up then it would be Spurs

He wasn't the same player when he came back without having the op. I assume his knee wasn't right so hopefully its 22/23 Botman back.

They do have form on paying silly money though.

My mrs gets her nails done by some Polish woman. She has been here a while (kids were born here etc) but she is moving back to Poland soon as “money doesn’t go far anymore” and “everyone is rude and miserable these days”. You can’t really argue with that.

Realistically we'd have to attract upcoming players or players the top tier teams don't want (or couldn't offer max game time) to get us up around there. It will need an astute manager with clever signings.

Isak is prime age now to decide if he wants to go for titles every season or happy to play for a team trying to get there. Plus he’d get a bumper pay deal in the transfer fee cut. No matter how much we’ve come on in recent years we might not be able to stand in his way. PSR has fucked our momentum where I think these players were thinking we were on the superhighway to success when they first joined.

Yeah, if we had the potential to spend unlimited money there would be no need to sell anyone. I think Isak, Bruno and Botman could play for the Real Madrids and Barcelonas. They are a level above the rest of the team..

Whilst I agree with most of the above, I would actually sell him for a £100m.

The next person on the forum to say “chook” gets a wedgie.

My Mrs works in a hospital (not in North East) and she reckons all the players that turn up for the Xmas hospital visits are absolute dicks and don’t want to be there. Fair play to Gordon. He seems to genuinely do this off his own back and actually cares.

Never heard of him but Wikipedia states he is 5’8. if you believe the height police, we won’t have anything to do with him.

Nice one posting BlueSky Links rather than X. The tide is turning. Goodbye Elon. I've deleted my twitter account today

Tino has been drafted into the England squad.

One of the commentators on Sunday tried to liken him to any other player in the world but failed. He is unique..

I think we was humbled when he first came here. He looked a poor player under Bruce and out of position a lot of the time. He'd run through a brick wall for Howe.
