Bruce and Craig hope need to settle their differences. The back page of the mail[above] tells only half the story. On page 98 of the same paper, under headline toxic toon [skull & crossbones inserted in the word toxic] Craig Hope dismantles your club, not the most balanced article, but one that...

Read the article in the Mail, not disputing the facts but hasn't Craig Hope an agenda with NUFC ,and in particular with Bruce? I may be wrong but I read somewhere that Bruce had banned Craig from ST James Park for negative reporting, perhaps this would account for the colourful account of what...

Morning lads, Caught the extended highlights whilst waiting for the tennis. Firstly you were not as bad as the score line suggests, Ronaldo will not have scored two messier goals, courtesy of your keeper, those two howlers would have embarrassed a Sunday pub side. Secondly, use Joelintons...

He is 30 now and is playing like the guy we paid the big bucks for. This is solely down to Silva, a manager who was inauspicious at Watford, Hull and Everton, yet seems to have hit the ground running, but more importantly he has retained the contracted players from last season and added...

You make a good point. We have two players who underperformed under Parker, Jean Seri is showing why we paid 25 mil for him , he is playing the role that Kante does for Chelsea. Mitro last season was a brooding presence, however under new management he is a revelation, scoring goals and, more...

Thanks for the reply to my Krafh question, some tongue in cheek, others succinct and to the point . Time was when missing out on a deal would result in much grinding of the teeth. Not now, we have enough strength in depth to cover this position in what is as poor a championship as I can...

Bit of info please lads, Krafh - is this guy any good? It appears that we made an offer for him but he blanked us He appears to have played one game this season and a sub for the rest. he says that he wants to stay in the prem, and as he is on 58k a week I am not surprised, we would not have...

How many will O'Brien Run? Hope he looks after Bolshoi Ballet - not a 12 furlong horse . for me the ideal race would be the Juddomonte at York- flat speed track should be right up his street

The jockeys that rode winners said on interview that the ground was good to soft. It was not! It took Haggas, on explaining the withdrawal of Mohaafeth, to come up with a true definition of the going which he described as Dead. There in no resilience in dead ground, and it is no surprise that...

Varian had not a clue, his least fancied horse finished fourth Zeyadaah his most fancied horse second to last ,Teona in-between. It is also worth noting that O'Brien suggested on interview that Snowfall needed top of the ground. What happened? Snowfall routed the field by 16 lengths, on soft...

Absolute nonsense! For a trainer who learned his trade under the late Michael Jarvis he would have realised that there was no need to make ends meet by laying a horse out to execute a betting coup. His owners include Shadwell stud, Chevley park Stud, Obaid Maktoum, and king power racing. These...

When O'Brien goes into a Derby 'mob handed' it usually means that he has no idea of his best horse. Wings of Eagles 40/1 and Serpentine 25/1 are recent examples. Bolshoi Ballet has a plum draw[9] and the fact that he has withdrawn his remaining entries suggests that he believes Bolshoi is the...

Haven't posted for a while and, after watching the trials at Chester and York I saw nothing to suggest that there was a Derby winner lurking anywhere. As far as taking notice of what trainers have to say there are just two who attract my attention and they are John Gosden and Roger Varian, and...

Worse! for a player of his size he should be able to impose himself on the game. He is bone idle - you already have one in Shelvey, why would you want two?
