Aye, the two televised games at 5.30 on a Saturday thing is a new development.

Ta.

Grew up on 3pm Saturday , can’t keep up with the it could be any day or time thing.

The premier league would hold an emergency meeting and create a rule stating we had change our name to Liverpool, wear red shirts and play at Anfield.

Why is our game on Sunday a 5.30 kick off?

He was an amazing player.

Never forget watching him run rings round Gazza at SJP.

Innovative manager with Swindon too.

Bit dull on co-comms, but better than most.

I’d describe it as a shocking decision, but there’s nothing shocking about this level of bullshit from the officials anymore.

Arsenal are most boring team on the planet.

City games are always dull.

Will probably hate watch the game in France.

And Murphy tends to give the ball away stupidly 2-3 times a game when he starts.

Glad I’m not a football manager.

Looks like (after a lot of fiddling) Howe has decided to go back to the tried and tested pace & press up front for what’s left of the season.

Not sure what to make of that really, pragmatic probably sums it up.

Big decisions to be made in the summer re player trading.

Makes sense.

Individual decision making has been a problem all season.

You talking about that over hit cross field pass?

Kind of felt like the turning point for me.

Will have been said many times tonight, but Hall is growing into a world class player.

Won’t be long before the client media start shit stirring.

He played well against them in the league phase too.

Shame his decision making is a bit pokey.

Decent shout. No player improves without proper game time.

Game management is one of those naff football cliches that get chucked about with abandon - sounds knowledgeable but doesn’t really mean much.

10.03.2026 22:38 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 2 πŸ“Œ 0

He’s been excellent in recent games.

The game management meltdown is blx.

Sitting back invites pressure, going forward leaves space - either way there’s always a chance of conceding.

The outcome owes more to execution than tactics.

10.03.2026 22:23 πŸ‘ 4 πŸ” 2 πŸ’¬ 2 πŸ“Œ 0

Be more space in behind at the Nou Camp - all to play for.

Beating Barca and the ref may be problematic.

Supporters could probably do with a break too, been an intense and not very enjoyable season so far.

PSV at home.

The defence has been a bit jittery this season, but also not very settled due to all the injuries.

Actually you do.

Without an accurate understanding of NUFC’s financial position relative to other clubs, any conclusion as to how much they should be spending on wages is ill informed guesswork.

07.03.2026 22:54 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Other clubs do all those things to.

You got some figures for this season to share with us?

07.03.2026 22:43 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

What is our wage bill and what should it be?

In the absence of evidence that proves a correlation between independent events it shows jack shit.

Do try and keep up.

100%

He goes to kick the ball and is pushed to the ground so he can’t.

07.03.2026 20:53 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

Perhaps he has been instructed to stay forward, we have been looking to him as an attacking out ball.

Managerial battle of wills, who blinks first kind of thing?

07.03.2026 20:51 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 2 πŸ“Œ 0

That’s a foul on Hall that prevented him β€˜cutting’ the cross out.

He certainly is.

Most of the BBC political reporters are a disgrace, more concerned with pushing their personal agendas than reporting facts.

Repeatedly (and incorrectly) presenting fiscal drag as a tax rise being a point in case.

Commentators often mention how high up the away supporters are at SJP, but never the thousands of the home fans who also sit in L7.

Lazy cliches.

The drinks breaks are a set period and the ads have to stop 30 seconds before they end, or something like that.

What they are doing is establishing the principle of having ads during the game.

Think there were in-game ads in the rugby recently?

Direction of travel is clear.
