Howay

A good amount of the coverage has been absurd, there’s a lot of “they’ve learnt their lesson” type shite with grinning cunts along the lines of Cundy. Meanwhile we have the most points out of any bottom team in the groups, and the leader of our group has the lowest points of any leader, so basically every team has held their own in the group. We were told we’d get battered, it hasn’t happened but we’re still being talked about like we’re getting smacked about .

It’s never happening of course but I’m not having people turning their noses up at Mbappe .

Man City have exploited this model for a while now tbf, Jack Harrison and Aaron Mooy were both transferred to Man City from other teams in the City Group for relatively low fees before being sold at a profit shortly after (the same window in Mooy’s case iirc). The constant rule changes that are clearly aimed at NUFC are becoming irritating tbh.

The reports all seem to be saying it’s on incoming loans, so the cheating bastards have made sure their outgoing loans to feeder clubs won’t be impacted.

Tbh I reckon Ashworth hinted at it to rile the divvies up and throw them off our actual transfer targets. This does stink to high heaven mind, it’s targeted and intentional. I don’t mind if it’s a permanent ban but a temporary one is just like the sudden temporary sponsorship ban after our takeover, imo it’s cheating. Fwiw I’m more than fine with the ban if it’s permanent, but I want it to extend to outward loans too - clubs like Brighton loaning young players out to their feeder clubs etc can fuck right off, Arsenal exploited that under Wenger to get top African players into their set up and get around the visa requirements that would have meant other clubs were unable to sign those players at the time arsenal did.

The funniest part is many of them keep saying we’re obsessed with them!

He genuinely might be one of the best CBs in the world at passing. His range of passing is absolutely absurd, some of the diagonals he plays are perfect.

Brilliant that. Can’t wait to play both those fucking shite bastards.

Really getting thin now with both them out for extended periods.

Edwards makes a good point here, it could be another case of these clubs panicking and voting in a rule to try and block us from doing something we might not even do which ultimately will harm themselves in the long term.

This weekend has sent them like it has with Arteta. Get used to it paedophile defenders as NUFC are just starting their climb to the top.

Aye it’s class, they just throw out that some rank average championship player is at the same level as a CL level player that’s being mentioned for England caps and expect it’s not ridiculed.

It’s a random weekend, they’ve not managed to get into the same league as us for going on a decade now (with zero hope of it happening imo) yet why not have a thread about derby games, complete with caveat of why it won’t matter when we eventually give them an almighty kicking.

Aaaaaaand the thread is hidden

Aye I really don’t get where that comes from, he’s a competitive prick on the pitch but there’s been nothing negative about him off it.

It’s balanced like you’d expect so far, we also paid £60m for him despite not a single report saying we paid that. The bloke who said he’s canny is sportswashed

So we’re now fixing games we’re not involved in? This benefits us because we’re competing with Liverpool but we’re also absolutely shit? Very confusing stuff.

Any reason they got an additional 2 minutes to the already absurd 8?

Imagine conceding to a bloke with that tashe. The meltdown from Klopp will be sensational here.

The best thing about Joelinton is he’s actually improving still. I thought he was sensational yesterday, his positioning keeps improving which is vital in CM and his growing confidence means he’s so assured on the ball. He also showed his versatility which allowed us to completely shift the team around when Willock etc come on. What a bloke.

I assume the first one listed was regarding Havertz attempted grevious bodily harm?

I know Bruno losing his cool isn’t ideal, but the funniest part about it is he constantly targeted Jorginho , the glancing elbow and shoulder barge were both on him - probably the softest and least offensive player in that midfield.

The Liverpool fans are of course trying to make this all about them. Arteta didn’t “support Klopp when he was right about VAR and tried to take action” nah he just complained the same as everyone fucking does when decisions don’t go their way.

There were no errors involving the goal though, the ball didn’t go out and Gordon wasn’t offside. If you want to debate the Gabriel incident fine but to me that wasn’t a foul, and overall people are split so it wasn’t an error.
