Anyone watching the goals show? Never really watched it before this season. Apparently it used to be all journos on the panel and it was, in the opinion of some, much better…. It’s not bad tbh, Matt Smith is always ok, Hargreaves & McManaman (meh) and one of those smug posh footy journos who enjoy chuckling at their own cleverness

Man City take the lead in Paris with a goal from Jack Grealish… they appear to be wearing a strip designed by whoever was responsible for this Edit: 0-2 Haaland, obvs…

My mate had Tyler Adams and Joelinton both to get booked on Saturday….there wasn’t an option for “in the same incident!!! 🤯” after their disallowed goal we all put a tenner on a Kluivert hatrick at 8-1 😎

Winning goal somewhat “controversial” 😆

Who was the Irish ITK who made a career out of NUFC tittle tattle after guessing a transfer would happen? .. strap line was “like I say/said”?? can’t remember his name, is he still around or did the daily abuse do him in the end?…

Now fuckin wait a cotton pickin minute there…. he’s apparently selling a couple of players but not replacing them 🤷🏻♂️🤔🤪

Tbh without Covid there’s no Biden term as president. The economy was doing ok and Trump hadn’t started any wars. He’d made a lot of noise which is his MO to distract most people from him putting plans/people (that’s precisely what Musk did last night… he’s not a fascist, he doesn’t worship any nation state, he worships money and his own ego) in place to rob federal government which is his de facto reason for being president. Look out for him selling the federal student loan scheme to a hedge fund and condos in Yellowstone National Park 😑 Covid temporarily fucked Trump 2 but people have short memories (also he apparently only won by about 200k votes across the board, notions of some sort of landslide are bullshit) This time it appears strongly that he’s out for revenge and he’s using his usual mob intimidation/leverage tactics on the tech bros and nation states to achieve it. Then you’ve got the Putin factor, to what extent will he be emboldened? Worse case scenario in the near future for Europe is the threat to the Baltic states/Finland, possibly even Poland as he tries to rebuild the Russian empire bit-by-bit. I’m not pretending to be an economics expert but if he goes through with this tariff bullshit hes going to have massive problems domestically as his financial bullying of natural US allies and trading partners falls apart very quickly. There again, he might settle down after the first year and fuck off and play golf. He didn’t jail Hilary, and he didn’t do a number of other things he threatened to do in 2014-16. That's about the best we can hope for…. but then there’s the campaign for the elections in 2029 which will start in early/mid 2027… that’s when shit will get really interesting/horrifying….

Was 6 Jan 2021 a day for democracy (good or bad) too? …. Trump has hijacked democracy and you’re sat there cheering him on. Well done

Am not watching. Am just looking forward to ICE literally falling to bits trying to keep up with all these new exec orders within the next four weeks

Are they fuck. They’re no better qualified to talk about football and NUFC than any other fucker, and that includes even YOU Kev 🫵🏻😅 There are presenters, who invariably are journos but not always, some of the top ones now seem to have had a famous father who played the game. Lineker and the late Michael Robinson actually made it from the pitch to the top of TV sports presenting without any qualification to their name. That took real ability iyam. Especially for Robinson, who did it in a foreign country. Then there’s the vast hoardes of ex players on call for their opinions, via a playing career of variable ability and success who are, as has been pointed out, mostly fuckin useless. All that is required for most is just the self confidence to do it. To even the most casual viewer their actual content is in a lot of cases irrelevant; it’s got to be, they talk nonsense on fuckin toast. There’s a few I like very much, they’re mostly on 5 live. Pat Nevin, Nedum Onua, Rob Green are all decent. McCoist is by miles the best co commentator, the rest are as mentioned mostly fuckin brutal.

Kelly : AFCB > Newcastle Huijsen : Juve > AFCB Kelly : Newcastle > Juve 🤔

Who’s going to go to Spurs?… that’s what a lot of their fans said after our game there the otter week. Tbh Iraola would fuckin perfect for them and make them a threat but would he get the backing he’ll need under Levy? He just doesn’t spend the money to make them properly challenge

Well, there’s more than one way to skin a rabbit. Folk need to understand that A + B doesn’t necessarily = C. Things change. Perhaps some posters need to touch base with me more often and I’ll get their footballing ducks in a row for them

With the new Tech. Dir. comes a new policy. It’s his train set now. All complaints are now to be addressed to Paul Mitchell…

Struggling to think of a better away performance given the context 1. 9 AFCB players out injured 2. 1230 ko 3. Our form going into the game. Their performance was a one off too tbf, if they’d played like that all season they’d be a lot higher than 6th. Our point down there was fortunate but decent. If we’d won yesterday Howe maybe would’ve rested some at Southampton next weekend. Not sure if he will now…

Ok, I’ll revert to type and say it was mostly Bruno’s fault 😊
-
Try leaving Old Trafford at 3-1 at about quarter past six then finding out you got beat 6-1 at about half ten ☺️🤪 🍺

There’s not been many better away performances since the takeover… I mentioned Huijsen before the game and I don’t think I’ve seen a better defender at 19 in my life. That includes Kevin Scott
