I’d love a few more ‘behind the scenes’ videos from the AOL.
Club content is superb but even I wonder what goes on in that training complex to have Xhaka and ex PSG/CL player Mukiele so utterly bonded and loving our club so soon.
There’s something magical being weaved off the park, we said it last season, was obvious and it was ‘young lads making their way, big crowds growing together’
It’s continued with players who have played for elite clubs on the CL, they’ve bonded with the players we brought out of Championship an it’s such a tight, formed and united group it’s just stunning how we continue to weave it together.
When a tough run comes that’s going to be the difference maker.
I know we are a big part of it. We discussed pre season that wish to carry the positive energy from the stands of the last year and we’ve done it, but there’s something fundamentally deeper within the club that’s making this happen.
It’s amazing to see, and endless injection of pride and I dunno if it’s Reg, the Uber app coaching staff, Granit presence…
Whatever it is it’s superb. The speed players are settling and the improvements in players is all part of it.
I do want to mention Wilson again, Scraps more, uses his body more, back to goal and using ball more.
How many games las season when he only had 5-6 touches in game, now he’s so involved.
Geertruida looked very tidy, things didn’t quite come off for Traore but the effort and work rate was at that levels
What a time to follow the lads.
We were ‘going down with 10 points’, now we’ve had ‘6 easy games’. Keep the ignorance coming please.
Beautiful times lads, many of us on this forum are north of 40 and we’ve been through it. Some of the younger lads haven’t seen good times at the top level at all.
Drink it in, continue to support. Enjoy it.

I haven't seen a single commentator or pudnit who isn't saying the free kick was harsh, strange or a combination of such! MOTD Shearer reckons it was harsh to.givr the free kick and harsher still yellow card as there was contact! And the commentstor said it was a strange one!
There was no contact whatsoever and the lad went down holding his leg like he took a knock! Not only that they went down without minimal contact multiple times before that its clearly a tactic they have as it wasn't just one player and it was a single incident.
I think the only thing that could make it odd is that in that position they are often ignored and told to get up and get on with it! If its in the opposition box it might be given but just outside your own box will be ignored more often than not. That however doesn't make it harsh etc... its ****ing obvious he was diving i.e breaking the rules and he got punished for it. **** all unfair or harsh about it.

I think there’s a bit of contact on one of the angles he actually kicks through Hume.
Ref pulled him for the theatrics and as a result of them having already had a couple of dives that were not booked.
I personally say that’s immense credit to the ref, they didn’t dive so much after, job done by him.

Thought the Ref was fairly decent overall, but was a bit worried when he'd booked 2 of our lads early doors, Granite needs to be careful for the next few games as well.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, and I'll use Man Utd as an example as I live down here, but who on God's earth is in their scouting department? Talking about our keeper and defence specifically, how did we get these lads? Pay rises all round. Best defence I've seen.
Can't wait for next week. Hopefully Amorim still in a job.

you’d think the players have played together for 6 seasons not 6 games way they’ve gelled so quickly
& people were moaning about not giving the players who got us promoted a chance
tell you what no way would the team that got us promoted be 4th in the table after 6 games
Still up a height after last night, cant wait for next weeks game, the pace we have going forward along with the long passing from the back will give Man Utd serious problems.
How good was the spine of the team yesterday, such quality players but also a work ethic that is different class.
Rigg stepped into Diarra's role comfortably and didnt look out of place at all, he will settle even more as he plays more games.

Think if we win there we end him.
He is shockingly bad. He’s very likeable but he is so far out of his depth.
Look at their squad and that’s a squad that should be winning a lot of games. The fact he ‘can’t watch’ in certain situations is shocking mentality for such a huge club.
As good as Pickford for me. As good a keeper all round too. Certainly the best we’ve had in a long time.
I read a man united forum yesterday there’s genuinely worried about playing us at home, imagine someone told you that after that sheff wed game under Dodds
Same could be said about Ange. I like him. He’s a sore loser, but likeable bloke. Just not very good

Just watched MOTD and getting him for less than half of Petrovic is insanity.
Roeeeeeeeeefs
Agree, however he needs minutes. There was a point probably in the 90th ish minute when he went down the wing, lost the ball and the effort he was trying to get back. His legs looked shot. He'll get better and better but match fitness doesn't come from odd bit-part appearances. I did think he looked and played well, some quality touches. But Also in that Vein, Brobbey looked a beast and also won some great duels. Happy times Man!!!!
It was a free kick in a fairly innocuous position, the way some are going on is like it was on the edge of the D …
… conceding from there is down to Forest, not the referee.

Aye. Appalling defending, Omar couldn’t believe his luck.
9/4 4th favourites now! Burnley, Wolves, West Ham are the favouritesI wonder if the bookies have moved us off the bottom yet
