    He probably means quite a lot of it. He didn't mention the club hierarchy, whoever that is right now, but it was they who clearly shafted him .

    In what way is it "food for thought"? What is it that this Saudi moron is asking us to give serious consideration to? What are we supposed to do with it afterwards?

    Love a bit of revisionism - Isak is ****e, Isak is a snake, Isak was never as good as we were making out, Wissa is better, Isak wasn't trying....

    He left. Accept it. Move on.

    Agree. Cant help feeling that the use of the word 'Toon' makes them sound incredibly childish and/or thick as ****.

    They are actually all backing it up I. The comments as well.

    One of them has tagged FIFA, UEFA AND PGMOL

    They are actually terrifying.

    Most of them are half chances at best on the volley.

    Edwards should be very careful. Even for a low level and little known reporter, his words will be noticed when he is saying this stuff.

    He is accusing, or suggesting that someone at that club is accusing, Isak of throwing games.

    He would be very wise to row back from that position now.

    That's newspapers now. No copy editors, especially for very low level reporters.

    They are a pathetic bunch! If they were saying this at the end of last season or after any of these misses fair enough, but to say it now when he has left them to move to a better club is unbelievably bitter! It's them all over and happily this will be another episode of them showing the rest of the footballing world what we have always known, they are a pathetic bunch of spoilt children with ideas well above their station who throws a tantrum in the aisle of the supermarket when told they can't have a pack of Haribo before tea!

    Amazing isn't it? The delusion is so strong, it's like you've stepped into an alternate reality.

    But what's really worrying and scary is that because they live in a self deluded bubble they only hear the same voices saying the same things, so they believe it. Deep down they know it's not true, but they can't accept it so they believe crap like this and as they don't hear any dissenting voices from their side they eventually convince themselves it's true. Facts don't matter, just keep shouting your delusion because you know the majority on your side will back your story because they want to believe it rather than accept the truth. As the only ones saying anything to the opposite are fans from other clubs, it's then easy for them to stretch the delusion further and say it's the "cartel" or the "establishment" that are against them, reinforcing their delusional behaviour.

    The herd moves in one direction with one voice. It doesn't matter if it's the wrong direction. Anyone in the herd saying something that doesn't conform to the accepted view is drowned or forced out. Safety in numbers and ignorance is bliss. No time for introspection or accepting mistakes or dealing with uncomfortable truths. Just ignore the bits you don't like. Few in the herd will speak out because they all want to belong, they all want to be seen as the most passionate, they want the glory of belonging. Anyone bringing facts, truths, or dares challenge the orthodoxy of magpie superiority is the enemy, anyone who dares to leave is a traitor. The outsider undermining them, the "establishment" holding them back, the "cartel" cheating them from their rightful place at the top and winning trophies, jealous because of their passion and the magnificence of the magpie horde that should be admired and loved by all. Just like Stalinist Russia, China under Mao, Nazi Germany under Hitler, the mags are a cult where it's easier to believe the narrative because so few of your own challenge it than to accept that in reality you're not that big, not that successful, not that popular, not that good and that there's bigger, better, more successful and more popular out there.

    I’m putting money on Wissa scoring( probably first 10 mins) on his debut. The cruelty of life will give them the opportunity to revel and bang on with “ we told you he was better than Isak “

    His perspective of English football is based entirely on playing at NUFC so he needs to adapt

    It'll be like taking in a feral child and teaching him basic manners like not punching a horse or smashing up your town centre after a defeat by the red and white wizards

    Sky sports, the national papers, local press etc have blown more smoke than Monkton Cokeworks up their collective backsides resulting in a permanent state of delusion and at times pure cringe.

    Isakgate has given LFC fans a glimpse into Magtopia and it's absolutely blown them away.

    I'm honestly wondering if he's serving out his notice for redundancy - he's acting like he has nothing to lose.

    He's gone way off the map while lapping up all the short-term attention being crackers provides.
