Fun fact for the Eddie out brigade: if we get another win against Qarabag at home and/ or one more win in the UCL this season, he will have won more UCL proper games than any other English manager. How do you like them apples #nufc

Elanga wasn't terrible and showed some signs that he's starting to get up to speed with the way we play.

The fact that I'm agreeing with even though we were in the alcohol free Doug Ellis upper tier says a lot. Me and the boy went fucking mental every time we scored and I'd only had two pints. #nufc

I wonder if any of our less than charitable and unbroadcastable chanting about the lino made it onto the BBC coverage?

I am reminded of the late, great Douglas Adams:

Dispassionately, the draw or the home win suits us best as it keeps the chase for Europe tight. I'm not hoping for the latter though. Hell will freeze over before I want the pondscum to win #nufc

No, and he shouldn't.

Alex Ferguson had a patchy start to his first 3-4 Man U seasons but went on to become the PL's greatest ever manager (and yes, I am choosing him over Pep 'Spendthrift' Guardiola.)

Our run in isn't that tricky and I could see us putting a decent sequence of wins together.

I agree with 99% of this.

I take issue with writing the season off. We're in a bad patch that is a combination of workload, injuries to key players (and the associated lack of depth) and a cluster of fixtures against difficult opponents.

With Tino and Joelinton back, our run in isn't that tricky.

For Wissa not to show up against his old club (especially bearing in mind the manner of his departure) tells you everything you need to know about what kind of player we've wazzed ยฃ50+ million on.

Been the same all season. Howe's system requires all 10 outfield players to have 8/10 min performances or else it doesn't work. Far too many games where 2-3 have been 5 or 6/10 at best. Murphy, Wissa and Woltemade today.

Wait! We had fizz this season? When was this? I must have missed it.

The attendance at the Etihad was a disgrace tonight, #NUFC fans would be absolutely clamouring for those tickets for a semi-final, or indeed any game at SJP. Shameful club propped up by investments made before the shady PSR rules were brought in specifically to fuck the likes of us and #AVFC

Gordon will be fine. Just didn't want to be seen on the end of a drubbing in case the England manager was watching.

05.02.2026 07:42 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

100% bottled it and didn't want to risk being seen on the end of a howking by the England manager.

Citeh was embarrassingly empty. Entire tier shut because they couldn't sell it and empty seats everywhere. PSR is a joke when this 'massive' club is so poorly supported that it can't sell its ground for a semi-final. They don't deserve the success that's been bought for them.

05.02.2026 07:39 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 4    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

100%. Need rid in the summer. Just disappears unless the England manager is watching.

And yet we can't be higher than 7th or 8th in the wage table unless we're higher than 7th or 8th in the revenue table.

Computer still says no.

In our last three games against the current European Champions, we've managed to draw twice at their home and thrash them 4-1 at SJP. Just let that sink in for a minute, then decide whether we need to change the head coach #nufc #eddiehowesblackandwhitearmy

My big question is why we aren't using this (and every) window to pick up 2-3 17/18 year olds from lower divisions or the continent that the scouts have earmarked as talent to either develop into the first team over time and/ or flip for profit. That should be the model.

Despite the fitness aspect (which is overstated) I actually think Hooper is one of the fairer refs we get. Taylor, Salisbury and Gillet are beyond hopeless.

Trump is on an absolutely clear and obvious isolationist mission to demonstrate that his US has zero interest in maintaining its obligations under multilateral international treaties to which the US is a signatory.

Totally agree with your take. It was kind of the purest version of the game. I'm so happy they stuck with it and formed a proper traitors alliance which they stuck with to the end. Both had to endure the possibility that the other might turn them over but stuck to it. Brilliant #thetraitors

I don't believe it needs a makeover at all. The secret traitor gimmick didn't work at all for me. What was nice was the pure human drama of the ''will they, won't they" dilemma the traitors faced and their ultimate decision to trust each other. Winning format, don't change.
