Arteta's long suffering jellied eels v Eddie's Stottie fuelled northern raiders (- Gemmill + Trips, massive net gain tbh)

I've always said look at GD for a guide to how good a side is. Compare ours with theirs (ManU, Spurs). I'll be gutted if we don't get 4th now. Not only tonight did we end Arsenal's 100% at the Emirates, we are the only team they haven't scored against as well. The story of NIFC so far this year is our defence is the best any of us have ever seen. 

top 4 is most definitely on and I think we’re more than good enough to do it. We were the 4th best side in 2022, so why not? The positive thing is even if we slip to 6th it will be a successful season. We can play with a freedom and lack of fear that some of the other clubs in the top 6-7 don’t enjoy.

Plus less games as we're not in Europe, though winning both domestic trophies may take its toll on us. 👍

Flipping IPTV crashed around 67 minutes. When it came back on I was left with a message to say it had expired on 2nd December  

 

Finally got up and running for the last 2 minutes of injury time.

 

You can’t not be happy with a point tonight, but I think we made it harder for ourselves than it needed to be with our poor / sloppy forward play.

 

Did I also hear Howe say that the current plan is not to buy anyone this window?

I thought he was but taking the piss tbh. 
 

What Arteta really needed was Chris Wood coming off the bench

Also, I feel as though Bruno has lost his pre World Cup sparkle. Just looks a little bit off to me. Maybe it’s the new baby keeping him up.

He said there were no imminent plans to sign players but that that could change across the month - he was surely just playing it with a straight bat.

I thought he said they would assess things and take their time........but he's hardly going to say we're about to spunk £100M is he

No not at all, just looks a tad off his very very high standards of late.

[aimaad22 4082]

He was immense at Leceister. I didn't watch the Leeds game. Today was always going to be difficult for midfield and primarily about containment. Can't wait to see what he can do with a higher quality midfield around him/

Never mind a decent point away at Arsenal, I got the real prize..

Howe is a seasoned operator who is not going to give anything unnecessary away unlike previous managers who try to placate fans by talking about bringing in two or three new faces. In each cases there's likely plenty going on under the water, but Howe gives little away which only strengthens our position.

It's against the spirit of the game to defend against your opposition's best players. I expect we'll be fined heavily for it and Howe may cop a suspension.

He could have brought on his £25m full back, £35m attacking mid, or his other £18m midfielder that were all on the bench. But aye poor little underfunded Arsenal.

Also I'm not going to take lectures about shit

housing from a team who include Dixon, Winterburn, Adams, Bould and Keown among its recent "legends".

Were they watching a different game? There’s no doubt we played it physical, maybe time wasted (away from home to the title hopefuls btw), but they absolutely cannot say they weren’t equal in the shit house department. Saka literally pretended to be hit in the face on at least two occasions, Gabriel did the same. They also can’t be fucking serious with the “hand ball”  it’s not even worth discussing football with people that actually think that should have been a pen, fucking idiots man. Then again like I said earlier Arsenal are probably the least knowledgeable fan base when it comes to football in my experience meeting them so it makes sense.

This is parody though, right? Fair play, he's hooked a few.
