I take it, it made him Grumpy

We were perfectly fine in what was basically a training game played in second gear.

Pasta ball to the chef and they'll chip it in.

Or maybe just keep him - that gets my vote.

Good enough, ideally not, but given the circumstances totally understandable. (Don't forget the small matter of a(nother) cup semi final, last 16 of the CL and 5th Round of FA cup).

He's just turned 24, he's 2-3 years from his peak, give him time, he's one hell of a talent.

Patience is a virtue.

I think this season's is lush and tbh I quite like the rumoured new one. That said if they keep paying us loads of dosh they can send us out in black polkadots for me 😉

Better safe than sorry, but probably no sweat either way !

Erm, some are, some aren't, in fairness. Speaking as a Green Bay Packers fan (your cheesetrees?) of 40+ years, never been met with anything but kindness/respect by US Packers fans from the days when my takes on their game were utterly shit tbh and have you seen the takes of some of our own lot 😉 !!!

Would Shearer have given the ball away ?? Nominated pen taker takes the pens IMO.

Within a year of me retiring we won a cup so there's a lot to be said for this retirement lark 👍

Time is exactly all that was needed IMO, It's been taking longer because of the number of games v time available for training/getting Eddie fit.

Been excited since we signed him tbh. Nothing's changed for me. He's an exceptional prospect.

Nope, it was a red all day long, left the ground (therefore out of control) nowhere near the ball and takes the man, red anywhere on the pitch IMO.

No injuries and no extra time is all I care about tonight tbh. #NUFC

Started and finished the move, very nice, great run after his first pass too.

The originally financially doped club, which eveyone glosses over/conveniently forgets. Hated them since 1974, Sunlun are a mere iritation by comparison.

Post from a message board discussing transfers last summer for NUFC

I wrote this the other day as a counter to comments that our summer window was a waste of money/disaster and to try and give context as I saw it.

(Rude words included 😁)

Based on the recent performances from the "bad buys" it appears all that it takes is a bit of time. #NUFC

Ramsay/Miley - we have cover and we could add more with the £££'s, no worries from me.

45 years this year for me, Fred West would have done less time !!!!
