Howay

Listening to their joke of a club legend, Niall Quinn, being the key failing. Another bloke they absolutely love despite him being a fucking melt.

The Liverpool fans are doing a phenomenal job cutting their own legs from under them for when they go back to whinging about human rights issues after no nation state takes them over .

Some of them finally being honest.

Aye I’ve got a feeling Isak was bought as a wide forward who can cover the CF rather than primary cover for the CF position. Wilson basically said as much in that podcast he has, as much as I like Wilson I agree we absolutely need cover especially if we do get into Europe as that means at least 6+ games onto our season. I think re CM we’re kind of at a similar point just slightly prioritizing different - I personally think we should just sign both Maddison and a 6 in January as that would give us an exceptional midfield with plenty depth overnight. Maddison is kind of a no brainer signing for us honestly which is why I really hope it happens, he’s the kind of dynamic creative force we really need and he’s not going to get a move to any of the other sides competing for the top 4 (purely out of arrogance imo as there’s no reason Liverpool shouldn’t be in for him), he also covers so many positions in that he can play wide, behind the forward, or that Willock role just advanced of Bruno. I think going forward Joelinton becomes our Milner type player in that he just covers every position from midfield up and with European football having a player like that in our squad is vital. If we could sign Diaby/Trossard, Alvarez/Sangare, and Maddison in January I think we’d be a shoe in for CL football, and I think the football world would throw their collective toys out the pram.

Manquillo is and always was one of the worst players in our squad, his positioning is fucking laughable. He got away with it at times to a degree because others around him were unorganized so his failings didn’t stand out but now we are well drilled he’s basically cost us a goal every time he’s stepped on the pitch under Howe. I agree with Fish on the midfield need tbh, we need Bruno in that 8 role as he’s just so instrumental when he plays there - we only need to improve on Longstaff/Shelvey to improve the 6, someone like Alvarez from Ajax or Sangare from PSV. Maddison could fit in our side over Willock since he tends to operate slightly further forward of Joelinton/Bruno when they play the 8. After that I’d love to see us keep improving the forward 3 with a Trossard/Diaby type signing - while I’ve been among Almirons biggest critics he’s been in sublime form all season and rightfully keeps his spot but that LW position isn’t nailed down - ASM is so injury prone and I’m still not entirely convinced he suits Howe’s set up.

A draw was maybe better but we still have an 8 point gap on Liverpool, they have a game in hand too but they’ve been tending to show up in games like this before dropping points to mid table teams.

It’s also brilliant how they’re confusing people simply hearing of them with supporting them. I get they’re not used to foreign people knowing who the fuck they are but howay man. “Ahhhm Sunderland marra” “ah yes Zis is zat how you say sheeeet team from Netflix yes?” “Wow marra you must be a massive lads fan, reckon we will win tomorrow? I bet you hate the maggy cunts too and they’re all murderers you know, always throw people off buildings and that” “….errrrm yes”

If we manage to keep in the top 4 that accelerates our plan massively. Staggering the job Howe is doing, it’s not even just a good run of form now either this is simply the way we play now. Just what Howe gets out of the players is insane, putting aside the turnaround in Almiron and Joelinton you even look at Longstaff a player who constantly looked slow and unfit under Bruce but now has covered the most ground out of anyone in our squad this season. I think if we are top 4 in January the Saudis will spend big on 2-3 (say Maddison, Diaby, and Alvarez) and then finishing there will open up huge spending potential due to CL money and extra sponsor money.

Felt like we coasted it today. Southampton come out putting in a lot of effort but couldn’t really lay a glove and then for about 15 minutes first half we went up a gear and scored before tapering off into halftime, second half quite similar for me and Southampton tired allowing us to just pick them off. Basically Howe dickslapped that whingy Austrian dog wanker. Just hearing that Hassenbitch is sacked Brilliant that we just dominate games at a canter like today I feel we have plenty energy going into the Chelsea game.

6 wins in 7 with a Chris Wood open play goal

They’re losing at home to Cardiff, I guess that whole back to back promotion shite they were going on about has fallen flat, is it time for them to hound another manager out because of the fan bases delusion?

The time wasting stuff is hilarious tbh, we did it away to Liverpool once we started to tire the same way all others do - we also had it done to us by Villa among others. It’s similar to how Manchester United fans on Twitter keep saying we park the bus which is why our defence is doing so well, despite us creating more and scoring more than pretty much every team in the league . People don’t watch tbh they just regurgitate what they’ve heard, which is why I honestly think we’ve flown under the radar to the level we had and it’s still spoken about like we’re in a purple patch.

Hopefully we smash this lot, bottom half shite like Villa that we should be putting down. Mental to feel this way and it’s taking some getting used to but it’s fucking brilliant. Hopefully that bloke that wanks over spitfire planes that was on here last time we played these no marks is gutted.

Seems it’s finally dawned on them that we are miles better after a year of delusion that they’d still beat us (regarding the post takeover side - mackems have always been deluded besides that), of course now it’s all irrelevant though - much like their club in general I suppose.

Aye, you see this kind of logic applied to bigger players all the time and it’s total bollocks - if the reverse had happened sky would have dragged Burn through the coals but because it was a lightweight player that did it to a big player it’s shrugged off. The amount of times I see our players get fouled but nothing is given simply because they’re bigger/stronger players is absurd - Joelinton for example is kicked and shirt pulled constantly.

The pen was blatant as fuck too, there was also a stone wall pen not given to us in that 5-0 loss to Man City too wasn’t there? The one on Fraser when it was 0-0 or 1-0. Looking at that list you really do forget we just aren’t losing to the majority of teams anymore.

Agreed, as you say it’s a problem in the media not the fan base - he’s right that it’s a disrespect but he’s missed the mark, the disrespect is when it’s Manchester United v Newcastle or Leeds or West Ham etc and the coverage exclusively refers to “United”, at best it’s pandering and at worst it’s disrespectful either way it’s pathetic.

Making more friends . A new bit of mental gymnastics.

The funniest part about the complaints regarding our spending is that we really haven’t started yet . So far it’s been pretty much in line with the rest of the league, we were only the 7th highest spenders this summer for example. It’s going to get really hard for these whinge bags when we secure the sponsorships that allow us to spend how the owners want. I’d love us to go out and get Maddison, Diaby, and Alvarez in January then sit back and watch the collective melt down from the usual groups

It’ll definitely go better for them when we add Diaby, Maddison, and Alvarez in January to the team that made them look Sunday League.

This is a weird feeling but it’s fucking brilliant. The commentator called it a good run of form but it’s been 12 months now basically, this is just how we play - I mean I would say most of that was a bit disjointed by our standards and we still completely fucking dominated the game. Longstaff had a really good game there btw, his form the last 3-4 games has went a bit under the radar. Our back 5 are absurd - we literally just nullified everything the had and made it look like a walk in the park.

Chris wood is so bad absolute silk by Joe and Longstaff

Mind when Villa and Everton fans went on about finishing above us and being better, fastforward to now and so far neither club has managed a shot on target against us this season.
