Of course we start going on a run of some sort now. Martin Dubravkas going down easy to annoy a portuguese bloke Mags vs Anges great attacking side who have actually scored less than us whatevers.

Mourinho used to be such an engaging character. Plus when he first turned up in this country and nearly put Ferguson and Wenger in a loony bin, it was tremendous.

Tottenham’s run in is brutal: they’ve still got to play arsenal, Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea. 
 

We couldn’t catch them, could we?

Villa also have Arsenal,  Chelsea, Liverpool.

 

I think if we didn't have the injuries, we may have been able to do it.

I looked up “North East Heating Trades League”, just to see if it actually exists. 
 

Only hit, from 2021…

I went to an A-League game tonight (the Sydney Derby) and on the way home spotted a fella wearing a current toon top which I complimented him on. He was going to watch the game at a bar in the city (invited me to come) and was watching the game on his phone. In the approximately five minute interaction we scored twice causing us both to proclaim the other as our lucky charm. You're all welcome.

[Ayatollah Hermione 13760]

Would be bad news if they relegated us to the North East Heating Trades league and that would mean two derbies a season again

It is. Honestly think we will win something. A dip this season was inevitable despite the injuries, essentially like second season syndrome you get when promoted clubs do well then get relegation form. Or when we cam 3rd in 93-94, dropped to sixth, and then would have won it in 96 if it were not for that Bardolph cunt.

Next season we are stronger, more experienced, and have less game pressure. Bring it on.

Had to watch on delay after going out for dinner. 

 

Spurs.

 

What a performance. Our best for a long long time. And crazy given the makeshift defence and complete change of system.

 

The whole side was fantastic. But special credit to Anderson for me. Playing out of position. He had a wonderful game. He brings massive energy to the press. I really like him as a player and there's certainly a future for him with us as a squad player for at least a few seasons to come. Hopefully he can grab a PL goal kick on because he has goals in him as we saw during the pre-season games last year.

 

Isak is showing his class now each and every week. He is an amazing finisher. Gordon and Bruno both had nice games too. And Barnes who is showing his value. We have some serious players in this team. I really hope we don't have to sell any of the big names because if we can add a few players in the next window without losing anyone next season is going to be seriously entertaining. (It will be anyway, but it'd be great to go forward in terms of squad improvement without losing either Isak or Bruno. It'd be a shame if either left before we win something.)

 

And perhaps most pleasing is that Howe absolutely used a Plan B today of massive proportions (for him at least) and boy did it pay off spectacularly. That bodes well for the future as well.

 

And another clean sheet! We look a mean defence again all of a sudden with Burn in at CB.

Considering injuries, I think that is the best performance of the season. Take that bed wetters, we know who you are.

I really think there is a player in Anderson. Lascelles was saying he is really strong as well which is showing.

 

Bar the obvious Gordon, Schar and Isak, I thought Krafu was class today as well. BDB was class. In fact EVERYONE was class bar Ciggy who was below par as usual. 😂

our front three was the best it’s been all season. I like Gordon on the left but we surely have to start with those three now when everybody is fit.

 

Isak is ice cold in front of goal. He’ll get 20 plus goals in the PL, which is amazing considering all the games he’s missed through injury  - 10, I think? What a striker we have man, we have to hold onto him. he hasn’t even been at his best this season because of all the injuries.

 

100% agreed about Anderson. He was so unfortunate with his injury as he would have had loads of chances this season.  I’m interested to see how he gets on in the rest of the season. It was great to see someone pressing aggressively from midfield. We’ve missed that aggression and physicality since Joelinton’s been out

Krafu

This is now his official Marvel name. 

[wykikitoon 19801]

Krafth under Howe has been decent. Today again.  Which, still makes me scratch my head why he wasnt used more to take some pressure off Trippier earlier.

[Ayatollah Hermione 13760]

Thought Krafth struggled in the last two/three outings but sometimes you need a run of games to get settled and get going. If Livramento is fit going into Palace, he has to play but today’s performance by Krafth shows that these fringe players need time to get up to speed. He’s, at worst, solid and if he went somewhere and played every week, he’d probably do well

[Ayatollah Hermione 13760]

Also, Howe obviously kept all this lot fit and raring to go all season because he knew the injuries would pile up in the running. Great use of the squad IMO and TBH
