I love your optimism mate.

I think we're going to end up around the same place as usual.

We need a cm or two, but Wilson and max are dangerous players and when they play we're fine...im fingers crossed we get Willock on loan again
 
Turns out Wrighty took exception to a few of our numpties hurling anti-Irish abuse at Roy Keane who was on the commentary podium with Wrighty and Emile Heskey ... respect to Wrighty he was spot on ... those twats are not representative of what has been (and continues to be) built at LCFC.
Agree, a bunch of morons - same as all clubs have, unfortunately. In his case, there are plenty of other valid terms of abuse which could have been shouted/sung, without having to revert to racism, so no excuse for that.
I must admit to shouting "FFS!" when I turned on the TV and saw him in the commentary team though, a kind of Jeremy Clarkson of football commentators, but without the intended humour. <laugh>
 
Lukaku going to Chelsea makes them genuine title contenders, he’ll score at least 1 in 2 same as he’s always done.
I had them down as the biggest challengers without Lukaku. Tuchel makes them so hard to beat. They're still 5/1 now.

If you keep Wilson fit he'll probably score enough to keep you up, again tbh. Without him I think you'll struggle.

Have you made many signings in this window?

No mate, but willock has been left out the Arsenal squad today and it comes just after I heard we'd bid 22 million... I'll be surprised if that's true, but storirs floating around its 25 million.

If we have max Wilson willock and Almiron it really gives us a dangerous counter as all 4 are rapid...

I think we're OK tbh and since Jones came in we were the 10th best performing side.. It was essentially half last season..


Football is what it is for most fans.. Ie fruitless, but if you've got a few exciting fwd players and have a go it's all you can ask

Bruce does get it right going forward its always his defence he struggles with which is strange considering he was a centre half. He had Bent, Gyan and Welbeck upfront for us and we were sound then. Never controlled games because of his tactics but we always scored goals with his teams.

It'll be interesting to see how Willock does with a full season because that was a right purple patch he showed and now he needs to prove it wasn't a flash in the pan.

I think Jones is a good coach and we've got a solid bunch of defenders from the rafa days.

Willock won't score like that run, but there's no way he isn't better than the Longstaffs Hayden or Hendrick and, he's box to box, so goals aren't really all he's about.

We'll see l believe it when I see it, but I don't know where this 25 million has come from because the clubs skint and unlike most clubs our owner doesn't like to push the boat out.
 
Watching the Spuds v Arsenal friendly

Dull as fkin dishwater. Both sides look gash
 
Left out of the squad today. Apparently
Arteta is going to ‘address’ that and explain to the media why….


I don't think nufc has the money and I think Arsenal is his club in his heart, so I don't hold too much hope
