I'd drive him there myself for that, at great personal risk too considering I've never even bothered to have a driving lesson.

I think I lost a bit of interest because the fixture list was relentless. You don't really want a game every 3 days unless we're absolutely on fire. When I looked a head and realised there wouldn't be a week break from December to April, that definitely didn't fill me with enthusiasm.

As difficult as you say it is predict - are there any Brazilian players at the moment you think will do really well abroad?

Don't know how many Brazilians have come directly to the PL, but I feel like some of the recent scouting must have been decent. The Wolves midtable pair always look good to me, and Danilo was doing well at Forest I thought. I might be forgetting more that didn't make the grade.

Nice goal from a midfielder #nufc apparently scouting currently

Evertton Araujo (10') | Flamengo 1 x 0 Vitória | Copa do Brasil 2026 – 5th Round (1st Leg)

Assist: De La Cruz

He's a lucky boy because that was an absolutely woeful penalty

Surprising that Brentford are down there, but otherwise being next to Liverpool and City is worrying when they actually do the dominate possession part that should come with less tackles.

Never understood how they managed to pay basically double the market-rate for both of them. Signings that have inflated any discussion around midfielder's transfer fees.

I feel a bit sorry for him, even if he should have known what would happen. So far out of his depth. Clearly only ever an interim despite getting a long contract, and never going to get the respect of a group of players who liked Maresca.

Another Sir Bobby print sale this morning. Ngl quite a good feeling when something you’ve created from scratch ends up framed in someone’s home 👌 #nufc www.etsy.com/listing/4483...

Just feels like he always plays as the guy who absolutely must not give the ball away. Would like to see him have freedom to give it away more while playing forward passes, like Bruno. If the rest of his teammates were more secure in possession, he could be more expressive.

Miley's done well for assists given how much time he spent at right back. Still feel like he doesn't play with enough confidence in midfield, but I suppose he is coming back from injury.

The same, but so different. Absolutely makes sense that Chelsea players wouldn't be motivated to play for such an inexperienced coach. That our lot seem to have stopped playing for the guy who won us a cup last year is more damning of the attitude of our lot.

"Right here, Right now" - a nice nod to big Brighton fan Fatboy Slim

Maybe a "favourites" argument doesn't hold, and Longstaff and Wilson stayed because they couldn't be replaced within PSR limits. That makes sense, for sure. But I'd still like to think the squad transformation will be proactive enough that Murphy doesn't remain the second choice RW.

I'd also add - get rid of "favourites" that have nothing left to contribute to the side. Murphy is the one standing out now. If he's still around, Howe will give him minutes at the expense of the team.

We're a bit obsessed with right footed left wingers in this age bracket. Already bought Sanusi, Mills, Park, Cordero, Martinez over the last couple of years.

You're probably right. I think I've basically been confused each time we've played a back 5 this season if it's meant to be 523 or 532. Willock against PSG also kind of cm, kind of lw. Murphy up front was an interesting choice though!

At Leeds Ramsey was more of a left forward wasn't he, and went off injured at half time? We had a back 5 and he was joining Osula and Murphy in attack

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

We've got better away against Spurs and Chelsea, slight improvement v Man U. But the actually good teams, not so much.

He's done a good job as a striker against weak European opposition, which is Bayern's bread and butter. He could let Kane have a rest as much as Diaz.

Random one, but does a guy called Gibson Yah ever show up in the data? Ex Ajax-youth at Volendam. I think a compilation of his autoplayed for me on YouTube and I was weirdly impressed by his highlights, decent on the ball for a huge bloke who's bouncing people off in the challenge.

I like Shea Charles and Hayden Hackney - might be good value there if either/both Boro and Saints miss out on promotion.

Good points! Bournemouth are doing a great job of adapting to the fact they can't hold onto their best players or managers though.

I don't believe that Howe sees Nick as a midfielder, but now that we've enough midfielders available he's still not getting minutes as a striker which is disappointing.

Shame for me that he bounced back so well from scoring an own goal in the derby, with two against Chelsea, then was phased out.

Wood was another one, but we made our money back and then he ended up one of the best goalscorers in the league.

With Salah gone and Ekitike out next season, Gordon to Liverpool makes a lot of sense.

I kind of want to see it to achieve new levels of hate-watch

For me it's the "X is not just _____, it's _____" construction that exudes AI.
