The injuries just seem to be down to luck and timing. Maybe Murphy shouldn't have played but dislocated shoulders can take a long time to limit the likelihood of it reoccurring. Id like to hope that in a couple of months when we start getting these lads back that we will be stronger in the latter half. Some are not fatigue injuries, just one offs but they're all occuring together. We just have to roll with it.

Crazy game. Spurs should have had this won in the first 10 minutes. Chelsea have been shite but able to over power 9 men basically racing each other in a sprint from the half way line.

Steady, the spies will be sending that to the FA to complain we had 2 in the technical area.

Well, if he doesn't get fined by the FA for that, then they can't fine any player for criticising the ref in interviews. The refereeing was embarrassing, it was a tight match and the goal could have been ruled out for going out and we might have accepted it. The problem is the technology isn't good enough to make these decisions without an element of doubt.

Such a hard won victory that. Dug in, patched up and still came through. Lascelles, Schar, Joelinton and Trippier for me were absolute rocks.

Ah fuck poor Murph

Gordon not been quite at it today. Not been as sharp and not quite as aware of his options..

Neville dying for Arsenal to get one over on us after the midweek game.

This ref is shit. He's lost it already and given them a huge advantage by booking several of ours.

Great to see. Strong line up and some options off the bench. Willock should be a great option later in the game to stretch them.

It's bewildering. They're absolutely dreadful and are 6 points above where they should be. You only have to see the state of their GD to get an idea of what they're doing.

We've missed a ball carrier. Joelinton is capable of doing so but Willocks game is all about marauding forward causing problems for the opposition. In my opinion, at the moment Willock being fit is more important than Tonali being available. That may change next year but for little Joe, being fit again is a massive plus for us.

Can we not drop Tino in at right back, Trips in left side and give us more options at CB with Burn, Lascelles and Schar? Tino and Hall being able to play as wing backs also gives us options further up the pitch. These lads are ripe and ready.

Absolute fucking baller. Deserves every right to be a starter on either side.

That far east Asian character was a picture. He looked like he has jizzed himself under the desk for the 3rd..the white lads looked like a bunch of accountants trying to look like cool football fans......

On paper that NUFC side should probably beat that side we put out last night. It was fairly solid in defence as I remember (settling down after we were comically known for our leaky back line) tenacity in midfield from Tiote and Cabaye. Remy was a decent goal machine although Ben Arfa was either just coming back from injury, rest of being lazy as I didn't rate Gouffran at all. Cisse obviously off the boil at that point after his 1st year with us.

As long as it keeps you away from going to the match.

If, and it's still a big if, we beat Chelsea, I reckon we will end up drawing Liverpool away. I hope West Ham beat them, we end up with a tie against Everton at home in the Semi and then it's all on the bus and train from the North East down to London for Newcastle Boro final.

Fuck me I'm eating humble pie after that. Bravo indeed.

Eddie giving the old boys a warm up before Arsenal. Making them taste that sweet fucking victory.

Lovely stuff

Fuckinghell

Agree. It's one of the first games in the new era where I've had so few expectations before the game that I can actually enjoy it, even against these cunts.

Given our squad state, it's not the worst side but that defence needs to prove all of us wrong. It's great to see Longy getting the armband on his 150th appearance

If we're still talking about jacked up juicers, it's important to look at the time frame between these transformations. While they all look to be an attainable athletic physique. You need to weight train to achieve them so any amount of cardio is not suddenly going to grow you muscle. Hard, consistent work will build muscle. Those like Goretzka and Bale have taken place over such a short space of time though and gained so much lean mass that they look suspicious. HGH, TRT, Peptides etc Ronaldo seems to have developed his physique over years of training so I do think he is natty.
