Howay

Fantastic performance that, we rode our luck early doors and relied on some good saves by Darlow then they got an utter bollocks penalty. From that penalty we controlled the game as Brighton gave us space to try and counter attack us, our lot defended the counter well. The first goal was spawny as fuck but deserved, the second goal was quality though and honestly I think fully deserved too as we were the better team overall imo. I gave Dummett a lot of grief for his passing but he had Knockaert in his back pocket all game and the horrible little cheat couldn't do anything to the point Brighton took him off.

Feels like a bit too late for that sub tbh, we had a prolonged spell of control and we didn't capitalize on it by bringing a striker on.

Aye howay Rafa man, what on Earth is he doing? we're desperate for a change here and honestly have been since half time.

Nice to see Clark dragged over in the box by Baldock and the ref just lets them continue the attack.

Aye ana you did, was just doubling on your earlier point.

Aye that was what I was thinking, if he shifted it right the keeper was in absolute no mans land and he would have had empty net to aim at.

Got a lad out on loan who would have finished that tbh.

2nd yellow for Knockaert please.

That was fucking disgusting by Gouffran

They've went into full on counter attack mode here like, we need to score soon or they'll catch us when we get increasingly desperate.

Is it just me or does Diame seem to hoy his hand up like he's trying to catch the ball every time it's lumped his way?

Erm I'd love to hear how on Earth that wasn't a foul on Atsu.

It's always good to have the pundits talk sense and be on your side when it's clear like that, the thing is though I'm fucking sick to the back teeth of watching absolutely ridiculous fucking decisions being given against us. I'd say it's simply down to the shit standard of ref but the issue with that is we've had next to no dodgy decisions go in favor of us (an offside goal is about all I remember) yet regularly dominate possession and hold the ball in dangerous areas, so statistically surely we'd get a fair few given our way with how regularly they're given against us.

Thought the first half was fairly balanced, they dominated the opening and then we controlled the end of the half. The typical characters are ruining any good move that comes their way as usual. The referee has yet again completely fucked us over in this shit fucking league. Shame for Atsu with that chance, it's the sort of one you'd prefer to fall to Ritchie who would have probably placed it into the top corner but maybe I'm being harsh on Atsu, Atsu did have a good half mind despite his often dreadful first touch.

Honestly man the bloke doesn't know how to kick a ball. It's like watching a bairn play when he goes to take a cross, he literally stares at the ball, takes a little hop to make sure he arrives on his correct foot and then it's always just spooned anyway and becomes a shit lob or dribbles along the deck. Talentless man, exactly the sort of player that will play for NUFC for 10 year when better players come in have a rough start and are shipped out.

I have absolutely no idea how anyone that works in football could watch Dummett and Colback every game and think they didn't need replaced. How the fuck is Lazaar possibly worse than Dummett?

Darlow keeping us in it here like, the players need to get off the bus.

It looked like everyone assumed it was a foul on Darlow.

Darlow having a good game today mind

Knockaert is a right little prick

Tell you what mind Shelvey is a complete fucking knacker. The replay of him having a bit of a dig at Knockaert ffs, we desperately need to buy someone that can create so we don't just rely on a bloke that takes less winding up than Bellamy.

What on Earth is a pen given for there? They were both at it there like

Another good save from wor Karl

Good save by Karl there like, Sels should take note of how he punched it away from onrushing players

Gouff up top and we've lumped it up top 3 times already, do the players know he's up front .
