08.02.2026 15:49 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It was disruptive but our opponents last night lost their two strikers and manager in the summer, if NUFC reckon they are a top club they need to be able to cope with losing a good player. Howe also need to know how to train his team when they have two game each week. If he canโt we need to find
08.02.2026 15:49 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 3 ๐ 0March doesnโt look great mind. We have resurgent Man U at SJP, away to Chelsea and then we welcome the Mackems to SJP. Lose that last one mind and that is one fucking absolutely shite season. As usual I am not sure we can win any of those March games- then it is squeaky bum time ๐ฌ

08.02.2026 09:54 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Not sure who the replacement is. That is the owners to answer. What I do know is from watching the team is that currently that team and that manager are not a good combo, something has to give. EH doesnโt seem to have an answer to get the best out of these lads and it is a lot cheaper to get a
08.02.2026 09:54 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Agree, when saw those Feb fixtures- all bar 1 away I knew it would be โswim or sinkโ time and it looks like we are sinking.I am not even sure getting to last 16 CL is worth it,other than the money is would bring in. We need about 10 points on the board to prevent a relegation battle, that priority.

08.02.2026 09:36 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0These next 4 games will be telling. We say Spurs are shit at home, but West Ham hadnโt won for 10plus games u until Dr. Newcastle arrived. Our away from is atrocious. I was at Anfield. It was so so bad. Quarabag may be our best chance but after losing at Spurs and likely Villa confidence will
08.02.2026 09:36 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0The semi finals against Arsenal last season and this years against Man City are like light and dark arenโt they? we have regressed so far it is something even me, being a half empty type of guy, didnโt predict it would be this bad.
08.02.2026 09:33 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0And I think PIF will want a top
draw European player in, I hear the current Benfica manager is quite amoured with us. Not saying he is best answer to this tho. Next 4 away (!!) game will IMO tell us whether this is a long or quick goodbye. I could see EH resign is we lose all 4.
It is clear this team and thus manager and coaching staff do not work together anymore so one needs to give, and doubt there is money to replace a whole team especially as EH wasted the best part of a quarter of a ยฃbillion in the summer. My prediction is that EH will go,
08.02.2026 09:27 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0On the pitch tells something different- our away form is atrocious, and even SJP is gash now- that performance last night one of the worst in EH tenure, which follows quick off one of the worst the other week against Villa, and we laboured for 3 hours to beat Bโmouth in the cup.
08.02.2026 09:27 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I think a lot of our best players will want out. Odds on Tonali and Tino will be off in the summer, itโs not the boos that will push them out itโs the lack of wins- no European football, and lack of ambition from the owners. Yeah the CEO harps on about being best in just 4 years but performance
08.02.2026 09:27 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0โIโm not doing my job well enoughโ - Anyone reckon EH could resign if the next 4 away games go the way most away games go and we lose. We could be 13th if Bโton win 2moro and if Spurs win Tues only 1point off 14th. Lose to Villa next Sat and itโs all but over isnโt it? Would he resign? #NUFC

He will always be a legend at NUFC but people need to realise this team and this manager canโt go on like this. One need to give. The next 4 games will Be telling but surely a replacement is
07.02.2026 22:26 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 1 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0battle (I donโt think we will, reckon we will get at least 40ish points, probably 50ish) but the season is done and no Europe next season. The rebuild is then needed in the summer, but what is that rebuild ? a new manager or a total dismantling of this team but with Howe still at the helm.
07.02.2026 22:23 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I could see us losing all 4. Maybe a win in Baku. Definitely a loss down at London, Birmingham and Manchester, then the season, apart from a few CL games (and no chance of winning it) that is the season over before the winter is even ended. We have got to hope we donโt get dragged into a relegation
07.02.2026 22:23 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I honestly can not see one team in the PL we are guaranteed to beat. We couldnโt even get past Wolves and had to go to penalties against Bโmouth the other week. The fortress that was SJP has been breached which is a huge concern. We were so poor tonight.
07.02.2026 21:43 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Of money. Jury out whether Ramsey is worth the money we paid too. Deep down I feel Woltemade may come good- he is just young, and Thiaw worth what we paid. The PL proven strategy lies at EH door though doesnโt it? Despite all our best players came from abroad he went and spent ยฃ50m+ on Wissa ๐คฏ
07.02.2026 21:36 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Indeed, the whole Isak debacle was incompetent boardroom- as soon as Lpool was interested and Isak was interested it should have just happened. Think we thought Elitike was the prepared thing but when Lpool came askingโฆ. The PL proven strategy was to me the disaster- Elanga and Wissa- total waste
07.02.2026 21:36 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0I think questions need to be asked of management both owners and manager when ยฃ250m was spent in the summer and we are so gash. There isnโt one team in the PL currently that i think we are odds
on to beat. We couldnโt even beat Wolves FFS. Dr NUFC will no doubt turn up at Spurs on Tuesday.
Fair enough, I imagine theyโre off the day after a game so am sure they can go out and let some steam off. Did they fly back from Liverpool? Cos itโs a 3+ drive on the motorway.
07.02.2026 20:56 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Think if Iโd just been bossed around at home to Brentford Iโd be in the ale too. He will be in his Vermont penthouse maybe tonight? Or maybe he doesnโt need that anymore now his wife has left him but then again you wouldnโt bring some lass to your own place would you?
07.02.2026 20:52 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Someone would need to have a convo and see whether the person is interested, regardless they need to be working on a possible replacement in mind.
07.02.2026 20:50 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Thought he was just a glorified scouter? You could bring someone in until end of season.
07.02.2026 20:46 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I would say only reason to get rid now would be if weโre at risk of relegation. However, owners/ board need to be looking now and have someone in mind/ have discussions with before May comes.
07.02.2026 20:44 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0By this time next week the whole season is over apart from a few CL play off games. There is zero chance we will beat Villa at their place. Lose at Spurs Tuesday and next Saturday and the writing has got to be in the wall for wor Eddie.
07.02.2026 19:56 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0PIF take forever to make a decision so doubt itโll be something imminent. If he is sacked mid season who coaches the team? It wonโt be his best pal will it? It took PIF a year to find a new CEO!
