It might be because for the last 20 years I’ve followed sports sagas in the US, but Isak’s attempts at disruption come across as amateur hour to me. Vague, unsubstantiated innuendo is so common infantile. Just come out with names and reasons or stfu and get on with it. Yawn #nufc

Are #nufc basically Arsenal of last year? Really solid across the board but lacking a striker?
And, every team has a striker or two. Why do we only hear the same half dozen names? Hope they’re taking a collective breath and make a push over the next couple of weeks.
Feeling positive. Can’t explain!

Did Bruno seem off today #nufc? Might have been Onana’s physicality, but his touch - and more his energy if a pass was a little away from him - looked way off his usual standard.
Happy otherwise . Would have liked subs earlier, but a point at Villa is likely to be a strong result all season

Saw the 2nd half of the U21 4-3 win for #nufc. Points 1. Relentless pace. 2. Tackle timing was terrible! Crunching for Yellow! 3. Slick up front, clear playing out style from the back focused on the wings. 4. Sanussi does not like to cross. 5. Weakest in central midfield. Led to some jail breaks.

Tremendous stop from #nufc U21 Goalie Harrison in the 95th minute to keep the lead. Down super fast to his left. Shakey defending

#nufc 4-3 now. Header round the back from a free kick from Heffernan

And 2. Yasir getting involved is really interesting. Look at any sporting investment they’ve made, and they typically play By the rules until someone tries to shut them out. The PGA tried it, and they’ve never been the same. The humiliation of rejection will spur a response. Hope it’s massive.

Two observations for #nufc right now. 1. The move to a grass field for the women’s team is actually a statement of intent. The wsl is going to require it, and this is a statement of intent rather than some sort of capitulation as some would have you believe.

The thing that gets to me now about #nufc lack of signings is this: each position they’re trying to fill outside of GK does not require an A+ player to lift the squad strength. Right CB, second striker, and a central MF, a B/B+ player lifts the squad. So be tactical, not dreamers.

The Longstaff #nufc goodbyes got me. Thought it would be easy, but holy hell, he’s so clearly a Mag through and through. Best of luck Sean, we probably didn’t appreciate you enough.
July 18, 2025 at 11:14 PM
Why are #nufc fans surprised Liverpool like Isak? Isn’t that the point? Have a great squad and teams will want what you have? I mean they can suck an egg, but we should get used to this kind of thing.

Hey #nufc, if Ekitike is coming in - and I like this - who’s leaving? There’s got to be a big name semi-balancing this out if we’re to do anything else? Longstaff and Willock won’t be enough surely?
July 14, 2025 at 6:00 PM
Well well. #nufc, I finally let my anxiety get to me and low and behold, an agreement on a 1st team player. Well played you sly ………
July 7, 2025 at 8:27 PM
Starting to feel anxiety #nufc. Total club silence on anything outside of kits is an interesting choice.
Give us something to talk about? Anything? People leaving doesn’t count!
July 7, 2025 at 5:29 PM
#nufc Women’s team comment: we released 12, 2 or 3 teams will go up this year, where are those signings? Prime opportunity here.
June 29, 2025 at 7:55 PM
#nufc Men’s team comment. Thank you Chelsea for killing the Pedro saga quickly so we can move along.
June 29, 2025 at 7:53 PM
#nufc signing Seung-Soo is being touted in several reputable places. Might be real? Fascinating how that fits into squad building or if he’s another immediate loanee.
June 23, 2025 at 5:38 PM
American sport is hilarious. Hockey refs allow fights that are legit assault charges while baseball allows umps to be totalitarian dictators based solely on feelings. #nufc football is so relaxing even when your team is doing f all

The Athletic says #nufc is watching Chevalier. Really good long ball passer, great shot stopper. 4 inches shorter than Trafford. They seem of much the same mold, anyone have a preference and why?
June 10, 2025 at 11:46 AM
Sad to see Frank going to Spurs. He’s brilliant, and Spurs automatically improve.
June 9, 2025 at 2:53 PM
Seems like Howe is gearing up #nufc to be formation flexible. 3-5-2 is probable given the minor success this season, but I wonder if good old 4-4-2 might be tried in preseason? Really interesting to see how he tries to evolve the squad
June 7, 2025 at 5:15 PM
Does anyone have any insight into what #nufc see this season for Alex Murphy? Always liked him, and the loan at Bolton went pretty well.
June 5, 2025 at 1:53 PM
The #nufc women’s team with a ruthless cut today. Hard to not feel like it is harsh, but judging by the volume and level of player let go, there is a major overhaul occurring and WSL or bust this season.
Will we see the same level of culling on the men’s side? Would need big names to match it
May 30, 2025 at 9:31 PM
I want to see #nufc agree outgoing deals asap. I. Don’t want to be looking at Squad hangers on in July having a decent pre season and hearing they can make a difference given the number of games. Make the refresh happen!!
