Way I see it, we're averaging 2 points per game. If we can keep that up we should be fine. I think that applies to yourselves or anyone else looking to get top 4 btw.

And if the football TH serves up is as good as it has been, it'll be an enjoyable ride. It's been a long time since I enjoyed watching us play this much. We still lack a number 9 to really finish off our performances but it's still better than anything we've watched in a decade.

Can understand exactly what your saying. As much as there is a bit of a false narrative that we play **** football (we honestly don't) and we're overly defensive (we're not) its been enjoyable watching us play again for the first time in I don't know how long.

Yeah we ****house it against the bigger teams a bit if we have something to hold out for, but let's be honest - when someone's subs bench consists of Javier Manquillo, Jamal Lascelles, Jamal Lewis, Matt Ritchie, Jacob Murphy, Ryan Fraser and Loris Karius you have to ask if there is any wonder?

You lack a CF too. Makes all the difference. Until then you have to do what you can to get the points. No doubt though it's why you've drawn so many games. Can only rely on Almiron and Joelinton up to a point.

It's the exact reason, we now have Isak coming back (missed yesterday due to concussion protocol) and Callum Wilson so hopefully can nurse the 2 of them through to the end of the season. Prior to that we've had games with only Chris Wood able to play and then having to chuck a midfielder or winger on as a striker.

How the hell we've getting £15m for him without selling to a Saudi Club is nuts

Just seen the leeds defeat. They really should be winning those two games in hand they had over us.
But as another fan said to me, if Yank Lampard doesn’t win the both, leeds are in trouble.

After Haarlands piss poor imitation of a footballer today is it too early to call him Scandi Carrol...?

Haaland is a goal pig…a white Scandinavian Darren Bent

brings **** all else to a team

called it before a ball was kicked this season

oh yes he will get you a hatrick in a 5-0 rout or grab a brace in a 4-0 win

but he won’t get many winners

that’s why fake club #2 suffering imo

all the magical midgets are looking for the big oaf instead of finishing the moves off themselves…like they always have done…in other words…

lol

Not even any of your areas. You both took a wild guess and were out by miles. Typical Labour voter arrogance.

Better luck next time.


1935 Jarrow election results.

Labour 20,324 - 53.1%
Conservatives 17,974 - 46.1%

The Conservatives won the 1931 election for Jarrow.

Oh was referring to the government of the overall country at the time, think it was a coalition of sorts.

Spurly fuming cos Spurs just gifted title to the Goons.

Fcking Haaland indeed. Spoofer **** let them down.

Bet he wishes they'd sold Kane to City two years ago!

Between them and Cheverton I can see this being the start of the end of FFP as we know it currently.

There will be threats of an almighty court case. PL will drop their arse and have to abandon the whole thing.

Yep all on appeal.

Non-story imo until we actually see significant action taken.

Isn't this the response to the European CAS case that threw it out 4 years ago from the PL?
