Howay

I still don’t understand the desire they have for us to be relegated, surely if they hope to get promoted they don’t want to play an NUFC side which would presumably be the most expensive side in the history of the league managed by Eddie Howe. It would be two absolute humblings as they get sent back to League One.

I think Watford are losing the most players to the AFCON tournament besides Liverpool out of the PL sides. That could be a important factor as well in the coming games.

Really hard done by tonight. Fully deserved a win there, again let down by individual mistakes and at the other end some great goalkeeping and shit officiating. If we can keep playing like that there’s hope.

Why the fuck do our defenders just allow the ball to run past them thinking the keeper will claim it? Dubravka should be claiming it but the defenders should be clearing danger like that.

Totally undeserved. Shit defending by our CBs, but I also want to highlight what an incredibly SHIT job Manquillo did by giving his man 20 yards of space as he’s been doing all night.

Ronaldo should walk for that. Intended to hurt the player imo.

Really good first half, Waddle will not give us an ounce of credit here, the Wilson injury could be really fucking bad for us. Striker shooting to one of the top positions of importance for the window now.

Waddle is a fucking nightmare of a commentator.

Fucking hell. We’re the only club that keep chugging along with this, even the king of being a big Whiney bitch Klopp had a game postponed due to it.

Have to say listening to Rodgers whinge about Man City getting a pen saying there was no contact after the way he acted about the pen Maddison “won” against us is brilliant.

Good to know - I’ve never seen Botman or Diego Carlos before so it’s good to have some reference to what they’re like. I’ve heard Ake is still of interest, so that sounds better than Diego Carlos? Similarly I’ve never seen Sangare so same boat as yourself on that one.

They’re going to end up with 5 games in hand by January. Would be quite satisfying if we beat Everton and after Everton inevitably improve in January they smash Burnley. Maybe this is legitimate from Burnley, but the game getting called off for the pitch conditions was complete bollocks.

From what I’ve heard (take it or leave it I’m not itk, it’s from someone who knows someone type of deal here), Sven Botman is our number 1 target, with Diego Carlos from Sevilla the second CB target. They want both, but Botman is by far their most desired target. I’ve also heard the Trippier deal is close, the Longstaff - Digne swap, and Ibrahim Sangare from PSV are other deals. In addition - there was very little appetite from the higher ups to engage in business with the lower PL sides (or PL sides at all for that matter) due to the “welcome” the consortium has received so its a we will take our money elsewhere situation. The swap I mentioned before was more a cheeky attempt as they (via the scout team) see it as mugging Everton off if we get Digne for Longstaff. Again take it or leave it all just what I’ve heard, but I’ve personally been disregarding a lot of these links to players like Tarkowski etc.

It’s the thought that counts.

Grown men doing that on presumably their day off. “for fuck sake Colin you said you’d take lal mick to diggerland” ”I just had to mak my video with bazza where we banged that Maggie cunt to rights, al tak him to the Alsatian buggy races outside the bridges, he always loves that”

These are the same sort of accounts that were/are linking us to raiding Burnley for Tarkowski and Mee, which if you think about it for even one second makes absolutely fucking no sense. We’d need to offer an absolutely staggering amount of money, since selling their starting CB pairing would essentially resign them to relegation, for two very average (at best) CBs, or what’s more likely is we sign players from the continent.

I always think what makes things like that worse is that he’s had every opportunity to watch that back numerous times as he was putting it together and realize how fucking bad it is and relegate it to his bin, but somehow after all his watches of it he’s went nope I’ll upload that to YouTube.

Burnsie Agree with KD that they could perhaps be looking at keepers, think it’s fair to say we can rule Sam Johnstone out as a target now.

I heard the deal was off as he wanted £225k a week and our side weren’t keen to disrupt the wage structure to that level across the side yet.

Still bitter he made such a monumental tit of himself over the Emenolo thing. We’ve got years of him crying about us to look forward to.

We’re after a Brazilian CB from Sevilla too. APPARENTLY.

The amount of smugness in that tweet btw . Look forward to people like him whinging and crying when we are actually decent. Easy to kick a team when they’re down.

To be fair, seeing as the last two times the club has been sold it’s been once for nothing down only future parachute payments, and then again for a totally not fake sale to a bloke who might one day inherit some of daddy’s money, and another suitor was a man who lives under a bridge, I think it’s harsh of Crook Town to assume they need that £710.49 more than sunderland.

A break in the league would suit us now tbh. If it’s 3-4 weeks, we could bring in some players and bed them in a bit, additionally the melts around us that had fixtures called off will have even more of a crunch time to fit them in.
