This is why the quality players we have will always want to leave for "elite" clubs

Gotta love that Pope kick for the throw in #nufc

How many players are they going to be allowed to sign before the result of their charges? #mcfc #nufc

Totally not worth the extra time and injuries #nufc #facup

Hands up I was just screaming at Bruno for the shit pass to Miley #nufc

Nobody should be surprised at Michael Salisbury's ineptitude #nufc

Eddie Howe can't manage multiple games a week. Presumably Thiaw showed signs of fatigue in training. He's hung Thiaw out to dry there and confidence will be shot #nufc
This is where you need proactive subs. Cut losses and give him a break

Just a few more facts needed. Any minute now we’ll have enough facts.

It's sooooooo boring now #nufc
Looks close to offside from the flick on. But still another long throw where we’ve been soft in the second phase. #nufc
Laurent scores for Burnley.

Anyone else think Botman wants out and doing it in a more conventional "I am injured" way as opposed to strike like Isak? #nufc

Struggling to see the benefit of bringing Wissa into a side on 65 mins when all set up to play for Woltemade. Our two strikers play massively different games and don't see how it's part of a coherent plan
December 26, 2025 at 10:05 PM
Waiting usual 70 mins to make subs would be unforgivable on current performance #nufc

Pope saves that

Even by my low expectations for Kemi Badenoch ‘violence against women and girls is something done by immigrants and nobody else’ has shocked me.
Dog-whistle and factually incorrect. Ladies, raise your hand if you were sexually assaulted by a boy at school? I’d wager this or a family member is most women’s first experience of sexual violence

Utterly bemused by the tactics today. If someone like Pardew or McClaren had done that we'd be screaming for the sack.

Howe has credit in the bank but that was just awful #nufc
Full-time: #SAFC 1-0 #NUFC

Abject from #NUFC - & effects of this defeat could linger for Howe.

The negative set-up left #NUFC toothless & they never really looked like scoring.

Woltemade's own goal was bizarre & ultimately decisive.

Very disappointing all round.

For all Howe's comments about understanding the importance of this game, the way he's set the team up show he really doesn't.

Unforgivable to be so passive #nufc

Loving all the folks who called for Pope to be dropped piling on Ramsdale this evening #nufc
December 2, 2025 at 10:30 PM
Right. Rest everyone #nufc

Totally fed up with the Nick Pope is a nice guy brigade.

He's a shit shit goalkeeper

Murphy simply does not have the ability or nouse to play out from the back.

But he keeps trying to and giving it away #nufc
