    I love this video. They all seem so. Human. Like they are representing us as individuals. As people. Just giving their all for the club and fans.

    you feel as though you are on the playing field amongst all the action

    someone has pointed out Saudia Airlines got a good shout on the pitch side advertising @ 4.20 onwards

    The feel good factor is the best and highest since I can remember. Better than the Keegan days.

    It feels like we are on the brink.

    I could be wide here, but I think Toney is one of those players that managers like Sir Bobby could easily get the best out of, but which Southgate just couldn't - and that's why (as well as the betting inquiry) Toney isn't going

    Put Toney up front in a defensive minded XI and he may well struggle. Need more "guts n glory" in our national team

    Thing is we have Isak who, to all intents and purposes will become our number 1 striker eventually. Weather that is this season or next. I love Callum Wilson to bits, an exact replica without the sick notes would be ideal. Issue is his injury record is, will be and always has been ****. This will make him number 2 and with Kuol deal wrapped up he could be number 3 pending on international appearances at world cup and work permit.

    Think Kuol is competition for Diaby / Almiron but I get your point.

    I trust Eddie to get the best out of the players he sanctions to be brought in. Just gotta hope he can keep doing his attitude interviews to keep the squad as hungry as it now is

    Kuol is an out and out striker mate.

    Yep, you're right. Dunno where I got the idea he is an inside forward. Dumbass me! <laugh>

    Could still turn out that way in the end, he's only played 13 games or something. Looks like he has decent feet and canny pace with a good eye for how to finish though

    With the way Howe has transformed so many players, he's probably being eyed up as Trippers replacement in a few years!

    Not sure Kuol is an out and out striker, he’s said himself he sees himself as someone who can pick the ball up deep and bring it forward, can play wide or in the middle is what he’s said in interviews. I’d imagine he is in the Sterling mould without the pouncey running technique.

    Every time I’ve seen him he’s been through the middle, quite often with another striker up top and yeah he does come very deep for the ball but kid has bags of pace and close ball control which allows him to burst forward, he looks a handful but it’s been in The A League

    Did no one get the memo from FIFA this morning?

    Next seasons new rule is 13v13 so that’s our problem with Isak and Kuol solved :biggrin:

    I think I’ve spotted the problem
    You have to stand up during the match and start waving them at the ref :biggrin:

    It's still annoying that we should have about 5 more points than we do.

    We need decisions to go in our favour in the second half of the season, they won't.

    That ref tried his best to get Chelsea an equalizer aswell, since when has an off the ball incident like the Burn one been a free kick?

    ****s.
