Re: The Matt Ritchie transfer thread (IN TALKS)

Would rather Townsend, or preferably both but good signing.

Re: Team for the Championship

For the record I hope that Armstrong gets a good string of appearances I'm just not pinning my hopes on an unproven player. Don't really wanna repeat the mistakes of last season.

Re: Team for the Championship

Why would you not start Perez ahead of Armstrong? One has done it in the PL and looked very good the other has had a decent half season in league 1. How can you say Perez has done it and Armstrong has had a decent half season? Armstrong scored 20 in 1 season, Perez hasn't managed that in 2 years. I...

Re: FA Cup Final - Crystal Palace vs Manchester Utd - 21/05/16

Can I just say how unspeakably delighted I am that this happened to Pardew. I could not have imagined a better way for that slimy cronut to lose a cup final. Also: *allegedly* according to a guy I know who runs social media accounts for a few players (mostly Liverpool, including Coutinho, and ex pr...

Re: NUFC Minor/Untrusted Transfer Rumours (Summer 16/17)

Lot of hate for Sissoko clouding peoples judgement on him. There's a reason he's sought after and why he's in every single French squad. £6m player <laugh> be serious.

Re: Approach to the Championship

If we can take near to what we payed for Shelvey I'd take it. He's looked poor since joining. Is slow, constantly trying ridiculous passes and is far too lazy.

Re: Approach to the Championship

Would be amazed if Armstrong is our leading striker and quite frankly he shouldn't be. 1 season in League 1 does not make him ready to lead the line for us. Luckily it's a long season and there's plenty games he'll get a chance in. Need to see what players leave soon but I already assume Janmaat, Si...

Re: NUFC v Wba match day thread.

Tiote today showed why he should start every game whilst he's still here. Was brilliant in the Man Utd game and whatever other game he played recently (West Ham?) and again today. Townsend was ok but is going to massively frustrate me watching him I can already tell. Aarons did well after a daft fou...

Re: Tottenham vs Newcastle Utd - 13/12/15

Proper centre forward play by Mitro. Should've had 2 tho and game could've been put to bed. Sissoko a threat throughout. Thought Gini was poor first 60 mins but improved when he came in side. Wonder if there's any chance of him moving inside and playing Thauvin out wide?

Re: Pass completion vs Liverpool

I read that as BB talking about this game, in which it was poor. To comment on your statement, it's probably because he plays every minute when he's available and sees more of the ball than anyone else, a sheer 'weight of numbers' thing. Any half competent footballer can pass a ball 3 yards sideway...

Re: Pass completion vs Liverpool

Just what I thought when watching the game. Didn't think we were particularly good at all. Organised maybe but we were the better of 2 poor teams on the day. But as a counter point to my other post, a team can also play well without necessarily having an amazing passing percentage, if they manage t...

Re: NUFC Transfer rumours - winter edition Jan 2016

Wasn't Monk being hailed a hero at the start of the season when Ayew and Gomis were banging them in? Yeah but all football fans are incredibly fickle <ok> If we won 5 in a row most of our fans would be wanking over McClaren. Hate to say things like that about other teams when fans of other clubs we...

Re: Newcastle Utd vs Liverpool - 06/12/15

Thought even though we won we didn't look particularly good yesterday. Couldn't keep the ball in midfield, final ball wasn't good enough on too many occasions. Colback was poor and Dummet still looks out his depth, everything is last ditch. De Jong looked decent if not a bit weak at times and sloppy...

I don't think Mbabu showed anything to be particularly excited about. Everything he did was last ditch which because it was a one off game he gets away with but he isn't a lb.

Centre mid still huge problem area. Been neglected for far too long now, got bodies in there really lack quality.
