That ain’t a knife

Scientifically correct

Great work Mark. In all the turmoil of the summer gone it’s easy to forget the club are still at the early stages of a long journey. This behind the scenes data revolution and training ground news are the building blocks needs to ensure our short term success continues to grow

Was actually 4 centre backs when we conceded those set pieces. I’m still trying to get over that fact 😭

He definitely made a few mistakes but I think overall most of what he did was excellent. He needs pitch time and those mistakes will iron out. Feels like he has been around a long time so it’s easy to forget he’s a bairn still

Weird. I thought Miley was the best player on the pitch by a distance first half. He ran the show, moved the ball quickly and off both feet. A few mistakes but how many times does Bruno get caught out ? It happens -especially when trying to play at pace. He’s not played much either

Yeah he’s very good at just popping the little pass around the corner. Moves the ball quickly and two footed. I’ve seen some negative posts about him lately but was in the ground last night and he was the best player on the pitch by a long way first half. Hopefully he kicks on

Lewis Miley was excellent in the first half tonight. Ran the game. His passing is excellent off both feet given his age. A couple of mistakes but very encouraging. Great to see osula get a couple but still think he looks better from wide rather than CF . Good option though and loads of fun

Id be staggered if woltemade is anywhere near starting 11 given we have arsenal on Sunday.

Dunno why. They could’ve had him playing for them if they didn’t keep appointing shite managers

Pffft 30 mins gone and he hasn’t even looked like scoring. Pony

Anfield about to come to the realisation that Isak has been carried by Jacob Murphy at NUFC and they’ve massively over paid

Grifters

Smart recruitment - striking while the iron is hot. Presumably the uptake is through the roof. Surely all the flag shaggers and roundabout decorators are desperate to go and fight for ‘their’ country.

Fingers crossed for a Quinny tribute act in that case

We going Micky Quinn or Jon Dahl Tomasson?

Ramsey made 46 appearances in all comps last season

Alcaraz unplayable tonight. So good

Around about the same time as the stadium announcement 👍

Yup. It’s not even close

Should have plenty of room to strengthen in January if we need to. Feel like we lack a dribbler but maybe woltemessi can help with that. Let’s see how we get on against low blocks - still not convinced we have all the tools for that

Well that puts the Wissa overpay into perspective.

A devastating blow given I’ve just booked flights to cologne for nufc match there. I’m sure he would’ve continued his excellent work

Villa have been scrambling around all summer for deals they can do rather than deals they want to do. PSR has well and truly gripped - just like it did NUFC. At least the isak sale puts that on the horizon for a while and gives us the option to strengthen in Jan if we need to. Need a striker now tho

I’d like to think that too. Just doubt it - I think he’s given up something but am sceptical he’s given up anywhere near everything based on the way it’s being communicated

At this point I’ll happily take either. I’ve never been down on Jackson - either is a good outcome for me. My only emotion would be relief

I suspect the former. He’s given up something to dress the deal up for both Liverpool and Newcastle but I’m betting he and his agent are still coining a fair chunk of change from the transfer. I don’t mind him leaving but he’s shouldn’t get paid anything to do so given his conduct

What I’m confused about is if Isak has given up his loyalty bonus entitlement to facilitate the transfer - why didn’t he just hand a transfer request in?

Today’s going to be a long day. NUFC have to get a striker in. Hard season if we don’t

Fair enough. I like Miley. Think his weight of pass is excellent. He’s clearly trusted to receive the ball in tight spaces by his teammates which says a lot. If he stays fit he should get a lot of minutes this season and Id expect him to push on. We will see

Longstaff was a great servant and made the most of what he had. Miley’s technical and passing level is echelons above Sean’s. He’s got a chance of being a really good player - he’s still very young for a CM. Lack of pace is main concern but he has improved physically for sure
