[Gemmill 49703]

Craig Hope is usually the TF journo friend. I wonder if he's been bumped for posh boy Henry.

I'd tell him to make all of his demands and then divide the lot by fucking two, cos he's only got one working leg. 

 Which has provided about 5 assists in 7 seasons

He's clearly a Tory Party member and Hope is a Lib Dem

Does our season stand or fall on getting him out the club then? 

[Ayatollah Hermione 14642]

Get Maxi to put a word in with Mourinho and get Miggy to Turkey

[strawb 4635]

If I was South American, where the lasses are mint and the drink/drugs/food/general lifestyle are class for a wealthy young man, would I fuck accept a move to Saudi just to make it easier for us to sign my replacement.

Depends on what you think fall means here. Finishing 5th or 6th? Not a disaster by any means of course but at this stage you'd think we now need to target CL places and trophy challenges to keep the likes of Isak, Bruno, Gordon. RW is the position most in need of upgrading. So in that context yes it's absolutely very important we get rid of him

Aye but after a couple of years he’d have earned enough money to buy Paraguay.

Hmmm…. there’s a lot in what you say but if we finish top 4 we’ll have had a very good season. There are a million different variables though supplied by maybe 7 other clubs all looking at the same thing. We could sell him and get a far better player in and sign Guehi and still finish 5th. At that point you’re suggesting our three best players will be (rightly) assessing their options. 
 

For me keeping our best players fit for 85/90% of the season is far more important than upgrading Miggy. Although  am not objecting in any way to his departure and a better player coming in to replace him. It’s the deplorable fuckin bitterness some are displaying as if he is the key to next season. I really don’t think he is. Especially as he didn’t finish as a starter last season and he won’t start in front of Murphy this season. It’s frankly irrational and unneeded negativity before the season starts 

[aimaad22 4659]

If you're talking about Nufc twitter then there's little rationality to be expected there right? 

 

But I think there's also many who're just looking forward to the next natural upgrade in the squad, and have nothing personal against Miggy. I wouldn't take the comments in match threads too seriously either in the heat of things etc etc and tbf he is one of those players who can be VERY frustrating to watch. We've been over this at various points last season. There's the other side of it too, some like to defend him just because he puts his head down and has a maniacal running style. Meh.

 

Imagine someone of the quality of Barnes or Gordon on the right wing. Yeah you can't say that alone is what will make or break the season but it will definitely play a big part so naturally people are concerned. Again just ignore the Twitter numpties though eh?

even if he's sold before I get my next springer spaniel I'd still be very tempted to call it miggy.

love the way he runs about like a lunatic in circles with no real purpose whilst at the same time managing to look so very, very happy.

top lad, loved his purple patch with us, admire him for not wanting to be fucked off to saudi and genuinely wish him all the best in whatever the future holds for him, including if it's immediately here.

If we cannot buy another player without selling Miggy then it's a bit pump.  But I don't share he same view as aimaad with the So in that context yes it's absolutely very important we get rid of him.  We need a squad and he does a job.  Getting shut of him without an upgrade isn't wise at all.  He's frustrating as fuck at times, but that doesn't me we ship out when someone sniffs him.  It needs to be sensible and for a fair price.

Two legged if it’s called miggy. Dogs have two right feet.

[Kid Dynamite 7605]

Just been reminded by twitter that Fraser, Hayden and Targett are probably costing the club £200k per in wages 🤯

[Gemmill 49703]

Lads, deactivate your twitter accounts. If it's not the far right arranging riots, it's reactionary dickheads posting on the NUFC hashtag. 

 

You're being radicalised. You're one election cycle away from voting Reform. 

[Gemmill 49703]

I'm waiting for someone to mention their "legitimate concerns" about the club's performance in this transfer window.

I deleted it months ago as I was sick of seeing people divided over everything. It's an absolute cess-pit of opinion and the turds float right to the top.

Tell you what Brighton have spent some brass

Did mine a couple of days ago. I never bothered with NUFC twitter anyway, but Musk has completely broken it now. The funny thing is that he appears to be being sent loopy by his own algorithm. 

[Kid Dynamite 7605]

I'll delete it after the transfer window...

It’s not just Twitter though. The same types who drummed Sir Bobby out of the club with their poisonous fuckin bullshit are still there at SJP. One sits next to me and one sits in front of me. Fuck knows what pleasure they get from the game because all they do is bleat and moan on like geriatric sheep with a nasty case of fuckin ringworm. Nothing is ever good enough and near perfection is critiqued as if it’s something we are all entitled to. As I said the other day, if we don’t beat Southampton convincingly it’s going to set a fuckin miserable tone for the season..

You need to get up in their grill and tell them what's what. Turn that jock accent up to 11 and grab them by the throat so your frilly cuffs are tickling their earlobes and tell them fucking what's what. Do it this weekend before the rot sets in.

No I’ll leave that to the utter fuckin psycho who sits next door but one. I’ve seen him attack fellow NUFC fans twice since 2010/11. One time was when some young shaver was telling him where Rafa was going wrong after Huddersfield beat us at home at the start of our last championship season… he seems to like us though
