I just watched the highlights of the S’land game - they look depressingly competent in a chaotic sort of way, and they are rough as fuck

Off to see the boy Fender in Boston tonight. Interested to see what an American audience make of his brand of music (and accent). Will report back once I recover.

Anyone know of a bar to watch Thursdays game in Portland, Maine?

Quick question - who is the Toons penalty taker now that he who shall not be named has left?

Jim Ratcliffe sitting in the stands looking all the world like someone who knows his name is in the Epstein Files

Man U resorting to the “Stick Harry on to grab a set piece goal” tactic. Got to do better than that surely?

I think Man U may have broken Sesko already😳

So all the fuss last year about Isak, when it was really all about Murphy😎

Sub-header in Guardian “10 Things to look out for this Weekend”… “Wilson key after latest Füllkrug setback” Boy, they are in trouble this year!

Spent the last couple of days wandering around the great city of Chicago. If the government is interested, it feels safe, friendly and very livable. No need to send in the National Guard, Chicago is doing just fine.

Well, that went swimmingly😳

Oh, anyone care to take a guess who dropped Bowen from their FF team this week😔

Well that was grim.

I hate to be “that miserable twat” but I can see Leeds nicking this.

On the evidence of this game we should have sold Bruno and kept Longstaff

Early switch to full court press

Bring Elanga on to stretch the defense, give Bruno a kick up the arse, and teach Tonali to beat the first defender off dead balls. Do that and all will be well.

Kuilvert not starting for Bournemouth. How about a late, cheeky bid for loan with option?

Watching Spurs v Bournemouth. Spurs are all over the place, should be 3-0 down.

Make it all stop. I have reached the level of paranoia that when the IKEA ad comes on TalkShite I think it is a subliminal message in support of Isak to Liverpool😳

Delap just done his hamstring v Fulham - incoming Chelsea bid for Isak?

Genuine question… Who would settle for selling Isak to Barca, even if he scores a hat-trick against us in the CL?

Is Burnley anywhere near Milan?

I just realized that there are now 2 Thunderbird puppets in charge of Premier League teams.

That Mayenda for Sunderland is pretty swift. A bit of a headless chicken vibe, but serious pace.

Trafford playing out from the back👀

This one totally out of left field, but if we can get a first choice CF in, how about (drum roll) Jamie Vardy to fill the Wilson roll for one season. I will shut up now and await reactions.

Fuck it, I am done with this shite. Sell Isak’s contract to the WE Foodbank to sell for charity. Sign Mitrovic for free, and bring in a crash test dummy as backup. We will finish top 10 and then rebuilt in an organized manner next summer. I am 67 and can deal with a wasted year.

Pleasing degree of common sense and understanding being exhibited by #NUFC fans this morning at the news of the Wissa price hike. Keep up the good work lads and lasses. I imagine the deal still gets done, somewhere in the low/mid 50m area unless we pull a rabbit out of another hat soon.

Nice to see the new improved Man U resorting to the “let’s hoy Harry Maguire on the grab us a scrappy set piece goal” tactic😀

Chris Wood doing Chris Wood things.

Early days I know, but this Brentford team are hanging on big time. Looks like it’s going to be a long season for them.

Chris Wood doing Chris Wood things.

Trafford’s distribution with his feet set up that goal for Haaland. Wonder if City would swap Haaland for Isak?

Fair play Sunderland. That’s a decent performance for first up back in the big league. I feel dirty saying that, but credit where due, against a pretty shite team though.

My master stroke of putting Jarod Bowen captain in Fantasy Footy is looking a little sad right now😬

Seems that the adrenalin may be wearing off at the Stadium of Shite - West Ham getting on top now

That was pretty slick by S’land. Good save.

Doesn’t seem fair that Villa are above us in the table after that😉

Let’s be honest, we would all have taken a point before the game, and what happened just reflects what we already know, that we need a striker. Pleased that the team appears together and committed.

I have only seen bits of the game, but it made me smile. Footy back at SJP, b&w shirts in the crowd, and the players reminding us that even though Isak is not out there, they are still bloody good footballers. Fuck Isak, the Mags are our team and they are back😎

Why can’t Adidas have the imagination of whoever designed Whitby Town’s new Dracula themed away kit?

Question to all you out there with better knowledge of the internal running of #nufc than I have … if Eddie is now in charge of recruitment, and preseason training has started, how the hell is he meant to find time to do both?

Just discovered this one for the first time in Provence, Southern France. A nice brew but I couldn’t drink much of it - it’s pretty solid!

Just had a grim thought… we may miss out and Lloyd Kelly may be playing CL footy next season

Iran’s Supreme Leader comments on Trump’s trip

Leroy Sane to #NUFC - discuss

#CPFC 👏👏👏👏

Outstanding wrestling and general shithousery between Hojlund and Colwill at set pieces. Colwill’s shirt came off at one stage.

I know it might be a controversial (and potentially very stupid) view, but I think there is a player in Hojlund just waiting to get out and he could be a very good buy for someone willing to take a chance, and provide some serious TLC.
