Arteta's long suffering jellied eels v Eddie's Stottie fuelled northern raiders (- Gemmill + Trips, massive net gain tbh)

[Craig 6308]

So that’s every team played once and we’ve lost only once. Cheated at fucking Anfield.

 

And we’re the only team to prevent Arsenal scoring.

 

absolutely fantastic result for us.

A point and clean sheet away to the league leaders, and still the best defence in the division, I call that a

Can see arsenal bottling it, which would be nice given Arteta was doing his best to make Klopp look like a decent bloke

I am not sure a clean sheet and draw warranted Meenzer's abdication. But have given it a shot, suspect I'll be one and done.

Credit on the start of thread. Might not have been a win but it still feels good.

[Craig 6308]

Right onto the important stuff. Sweepstake on when Lampard is sacked? I’m going 9:30 tomorrow

All things considered, I think we’re the best performing north east team this season 

 

I'd be worried about playing the Mackems on their day if this is the way we play.

 

[MMXXVIII 1042]

Great point. What I took from this was the system Howe is gonna take us right fucking up there, the hurdle is the personnel executing it. Need a stellar ball winner type in midfield.

[trophyshy 6434]

Has Toonpack done enough for the big job?  
 

Does he want it anyway?
 

Can his retinas survive?  
 

Tune in next time to find out.

Watch arsenal lose a few now. They’ve got spurs and Man City coming up 

 

We could do with Arsenal and Man City putting the rest of the Big 6 to the sword for the remainder of the season just to help our top 4 dreams out a bit.

a set of highly winnable fixtures coming up climaxing with the revenge mission at home against Clippity Klopp

Crystal Palace(a)

That will have dented their confidence a bit tbh, just when they thought they were over the masterclass that saw them finish fifth.

The London Gunners failed to get into our end zone in all four quarters tonight. WHOO!

Man City for the title. I can see Arsenal folding. Looking forward to playing them again at sjp towards the end of the season when their arse has gone. I wouldn’t be surprised if we we beat them on aggregate. 

[Craig 6308]

6* (* SIX) consecutive clean sheets!!!! 

what the fuck has happened to Newcastle United?

17 pages for our match thread on here.......RTG had 32 pages......but hey they aren't obsessed with us 🤣

I honestly never felt like they'd score after the first few minutes of chaos. Sign the next Batty and the difference will be massive.

Except for a few shaky moments, Burn was quality up against Saka tonight. Willock worked his balls off to stop Odegaard and Trippier was his usual imperious self against Martinelli. Hopefully, by the time Palace rolls around, Isak is back and we’ve got a new central midfielder to ease some of the pressure and game time on this bunch. 

[Chaser 1055]

2 more wins and we're safe lads. 

[wykikitoon 16728]

The sooner we're not putting on the likes of Murphy the better.

Remember when divvys were saying Howe couldn't organise a defence?
