Think this is third summer in a row we've been told of a big squad refresh

Look forward to no signing until early August

Think there's more to come out on Gordon not starting. Shearer was fuming on Comms. Sounds like was him saying couldn't play

Still finished 1-1 mate. Still conceded late again. Still missed so many chances due to being fucked by the Swede and signing second rate replacements

Agreed. The lack of decent striker is hard to swallow. What could have been. I keep hoping Eddie is deliberately resting Wissa while getting him match smart. Not sure that's it though

If that was the other way round, they'd have passed it around at the back and kept the ball for last 4 mins

I am done with this season. It was fucked by Paul Mitchell and co in the summer and we've been trying to make the best of it since.

It just needs to be over #nufc

Its irrelevant if we manage game better

10.03.2026 22:05 ๐Ÿ‘ 1 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Nope. It's sucked the life out the tie. Look at players after. We did same last time in UCL against Milan. Amateur hour

10.03.2026 22:03 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

They broke from that free kick, Willock hauled their player back. Free kick, results in pen.

10.03.2026 22:01 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Howe literally urged Burn forward for the free kick in 93rd minute. So so amateur

Piss poor game management. Blame the ref if you like but it's all on us #nufc

Brace for VAR

Almost tempted to say Wissa as at least he knows what to do when those balls come in the box

Elanga is constantly on his heels. Just bizarre given his pace and their high line #nufc

10.03.2026 20:24 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Still on bench, which is just bizarre

10.03.2026 18:58 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Think Wissa is done.

ยฃ55m. "Biggest game of the season"

Gordon unwell

Still benched #nufc

Unwell

Shit

Agreed.

If they could also remember they present the news and not an entertainment programme that would be grand as well

You had me at CW and lost me at Luke Edwards.

Absolutely and the appalling appointment of Mitchell.

Our success or failure over coming years will be down to how well DH can navigate PIF and get enough ยฃยฃ out of them to grow club.

They ain't gonna do it themselves. Staveley was brilliant at it (she was awful at navigating PSR though)

Agreed but current exec team been in place for less than a season. We need to see a coherent transfer strategy this summer (along with infrastructure progress). We're starting again, but from a higher floor than when takeover went through.

115 charges.

Considering TV companies and commentators love giving stats, that one seems to get little airing

We all know how this ends #nufc

Damning on Wissa #nufc

Love to know what Botman has done wrong.

Defence is terrible and still can't get a game #nufc

Honestly the collective national level of disdain for Brits living in Dubai on all my social media platforms today really is bringing the UK together as one in a way that's hard to achieve in the modern era.

We play well when Howe gets a week on the training ground.

That's what will happen next season and then we'll be back to here.
