Fuck, don't say it out loud Holden, the superstitious lot will be after you.

Not sure what you want here Gemma. It's all conjecture and we know fuck all about the goings on behind closed doors. You seem to have a thing for Mitchell, I have no idea about him other than that shitty interview he did that put Eddie's nose out of joint. Vaudeville villain? As I said I'm just being devil's advocate. Question for you seeing you're ITK, do you really think EH will be happy about selling/losing three or four first team squad players in January, with no replacements, when they are on the cusp of finishing in a European places and still in two cup competitions?

Again Scotty you are correct but it is usually the structure before the manager is hired, not the gaffer first then a DoF and then another DoF, all the while neither "seemingly" contributing much to the playing squad. PIF will be having expectations, what they are we obviously don't know but there will be most likely some level of Europe for next season.

Ratcliffe would probably drive him to a new club and let him go for free if he could get the almost 400k a week of the wage bill.

Nothing to do with the fans. Mitchell will have instilled himself into the position of dealing with the PIF and making sure EH just get on with training and managing. It's that typical middle management cunt v worker.

Yes, get that but doubt he feels that his boyhood club is the same place anymore. You just know EH wouldn't be keen on a "star" signing, he wants workers who are happy to quietly and determined go about their jobs.

But that's not how it works, the first one blamed is the manager, especially when they aren't the DOF's "man".

It would be nice to see what EH is able to get out of Rashford, if he could get him to buy in, could you imagine?

Playing devil's advocate, surely it's fine to work towards players that are here/part of the setup for the next 4 or 5 years and the club can take their chance by weakening the squad by selling Kelly, Miggy, Targett or Longstaff but the league is extremely tight from fourth to tenth and with a few key injuries it's not inconceivable that we will struggle for bodies and could finish out of the European places again. Nothing is guaranteed. And you would think without Europe again, the next level of player we hope the club are after, plus the ones we want to keep, becomes less likely. It's still a squad game, even if some aren't up to the level we'd like.

If that's the case we need to go all Chelsea and hire a few playing consultants, like maybe Lautaro Martinez, Florian Wirtz and Rodrygo to help with our RW problem, just to ensure that the infrastructure is fit for purpose!

No that was me, Wolfgang just thinks all Australians play egg ball of some sort! 😉 How weird is it watching those crowdless covid lockdown matches now? Bet none of them ever get featured as a "classic" match from the past. BTW see you Miggy, thanks for the effort and dedication you gave for NUFC, you copped way more grief than you ever deserved, enjoy your time back with Atlanta (and be careful of those immagration czars).

Been watching most of St Pauli's games this season and enjoying the fact that in the Bundesliga after a 50-50 challenge, you don't have one or both players rolling around like they have just had their fanny amputated with a rusty steel can trying to get an opposition player booked. Fuck all play acting is refreshing.

At least we know what Lego Head is refining his tactics for now!

@PaddockLad or anyone else, have you seen Barry Adamson recently? Any good? He's doing a show here end of March and not sure if I should go?

It's a shame Anderson's first league goal wasn't for his hometown club but nice he finally got one.

The spitfire shaggers surely know they are already down, so we may as well throw them an offering for Dibling now. Perfect opportunity for Levy to make some of the ridiculous amount we got from them for Sisoko back, so no thanks. Chelsea will be having a fire sale, so better value to be had there. And if Kelly isn't even trusted to be used as a sub against his old club, may as well move him on now.

Probably because our lot looked like they were all pushing full wheelbarrows uphill at a construction site.

It was, we will. They all looked off from the start, even Sandro took a while to get up to speed. I don't think Bruno likes losing the toss and having to run uphill second half.

So the mud is still stuck in your jap's?

You watched the game yet? Or you still trying to get the cucumber out of your eye?

Fuck all else we can do. @Andrew [/toontastic] mate, appears there is no point discussing anything.

Well, you dress like Ty, so there is that. I don't disagree CMP but it was obvious young Lewis was in trouble from very early on and if EH cannot utilise a player he has signed twice, who surely would love to get on over his former employer, then...it's disappointing. And yes, I think quite a few in various match threads did make comment that it would be smart to get some of our mainstays off earlier and rested. btw like a man who spent the day being rubbed and tugged without a happy ending, having his champagne piped up his arse and his high tea sandwiches rested on his eyes, has no place claiming he knows anything about football, every.
