@coopsmj @heyarnoldb It got a like from me!!

@heyarnoldb @Spudwilson1 no idea why, but you came to mind when I saw this 😂

Me when the wife asks to show her the last time I backed a winner...

@lee_ryder UEFA darlings

Either both are penalties are neither are. That's it. #nufc

@LukeEdwardsTele Class player but I don’t think our league brings out the best of him. Learn the lesson, identify replacements now, get him gone early and we go again

@LukeEdwardsTele IMO International football should be about genuine connection and pride. Representing a country is an honour, not a technicality. It should mean something deeper than pragmatism, paperwork or a distant family link.

🚨EXCLUSIVE Scotland ramp up bid for Harvey Barnes to play for them at World Cup 🤔 And why I think it makes sense for him to say yes #nufc #scotland #worldcup telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…

@Al_inDK @TheChelseaForum He does sound like one of my spec emails 😆

@TheChelseaForum He is ChatGPT in human form

🚨🎙️ | Liam Rosenior “Let me be very clear. “I didn’t come to Chelsea to ‘compete’. I came to set a standard, and the first results are already showing what happens when the standard is non-negotiable.” “You’ve seen the momentum. You’ve seen the control. You’ve seen the calm when games get tight. That isn’t ‘form’. That’s identity.” “We’re not chasing chaos. We’re building authority, territory, pressure, patience, and the mentality to keep knocking until the moment breaks.” “People will watch the scoreline and miss the story. But inside this building we measure performance, repeatability, and discipline. And right now, the group is buying in.” “Pressure? Good. That’s the job. At Chelsea, you don’t ask for time, you earn it with work, with wins, and with progress you can’t ignore.” #CFC

@FBAwayDays @LukeTruin - happened to me twice when I was a youngster first playing with men!

Absolutely disgusting scenes at the weekend as a player from Welsh Club Treaddur Bay elbowed a player from Porthmadog FC with so much force, it knocked him out cold. 🤯 He shouldn’t be allowed to ever play the game again. 😤 Horrific! 😡

@SkySports_Keith Which journalist asked the question?

🚨 Eddie Howe asked to respond to claims there is a lack of a Plan B with regards to substitutions (referring to ‘onslaught’ from Burnley during second half in midweek): 🗣️ “An onslaught on…(who)? Against us? Have you seen the stats of the game? You must’ve been watching a different game then. There was no onslaught. Yes there were moments in both ways (for both teams), and if it was an onslaught I would give my opinion would say it was. 🗣️ “But with Plan Bs, it’s always difficult. If you have too many Plan Bs it means your Plan A is flawed and your players are thinking what’s next rather than trying to deliver Plan A to the best of their ability. 🗣️ “We have lots of ways of playing, but within the structure and the principles of what we believe in. I see countless managers asked about Plan Bs, but you have to be careful. We have a very strong plan for every situation, we just need to deliver it better.” #NUFC

@SMPR1990 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Takes a brave man to hold his nerve, but he will be rewarded

@Al_inDK I’ve raged at many penalties not given to us over the years but I’m honestly not at that one today.

🤣🤣 what absolute nonsense

@henrywinter Bang on the money, as always @henrywinter

Jude Bellingham, some thoughts. Crazy that this has to be emphasised again but here we go again. Bellingham will be a vital player for England at the World Cup. Mad that this has to be spelled out again. Bellingham is England’s reigning Player of the Year, voted Player of the Match in their last game, in their five-man leadership group, rescued England at Euro 2024, closes on a half-century of caps at 22 and will soon pass Colin ‘Nijinsky’ Bell, Sir Geoff Hurst and Glenn Hoddle on the England appearance list. While a teenager, Bellingham was named Bundesliga Player of the Season at Borussia Dortmund. He now starts for Real Madrid with Kylian Mbappe, has won La Liga and the Champions League and been named La Liga Player of the Year. We should be proud that English football has produced a special talent (hat tip to Birmingham City) who’s gone abroad and now stars for the biggest club in the world. Bellingham shines in a Real spotlight that can feel like a real searchlight to some. For clubs and country, Bellingham embraces pressure in challenging games. He’s going to be a hugely important player for England at the World Cup because he’s gifted, possesses a big-game mentality, and, also like Harry Kane, will have enjoyed a winter break so should be fresher. I’ve been fortunate to cover England at 15 tournaments. I’ve seen pile-ons on Barnes, Gascoigne, Beckham, Rooney, Sterling and Rashford, when objective criticism crosses the line into hounding. It’s happening with Bellingham. It’s a myth that Bellingham is simply about himself. Any fair-minded observer can see the work he does out of possession, tracking back, tackling, covering for others. He contributes to the collective. I’ve never spoken to Bellingham. He avoids the England writers but broadcast colleagues speak highly of his helpfulness. I don’t know his family or advisers but I do know that he’s 22, still maturing, that everything he does gets scrutinised and he will inevitably learn it’s pointless arguing with officials but that’s also part of his desperation to win. Bellingham demands high standards of himself and others. That has to be good if England are to progress far at the World Cup. He has a competitive edge that England need. It’s one of his great strengths, that mindset. So, some perspective and balance is required here. Bellingham wants to play. He expressed momentary frustration when realising he was being subbed against Albania. He showed respect to the assist-makers and goalscorers (as Kane emphasised by posting a post-goal pic of the pair), to the man replacing him (his friend Morgan Rogers) and to Thomas Tuchel, who calls him “a special talent”. Rogers has done well for Tuchel but doesn’t have the track record of dominating big games like Bellingham. Respected media colleagues from other countries think it’s madness there’s even a debate about possibly leaving Bellingham behind. Tuchel has a key role to play here, as I’m sure experienced heads at the FA will be quietly mentioning. He’s surely aware that Bellingham must be feeling hounded by some headlines, and that is not a healthy situation for him, for England or Tuchel himself. What Tuchel, England and the FA don’t need is tension festering for four months, seeping into the March camp, and Bellingham reporting feeling like there’s a target on his back. Anyone with any experience of following England knows that such situations harm the team’s prospects. Tuchel needs to go to Madrid and speak with Bellingham. Speak with, not to. Be supportive. And then publicly remind the doubters how important Bellingham is to England, perhaps through a few words via the FA website, reflecting on 2025, and looking forward to what could be a momentous 2026. Because for England to have a momentous 2026, they need Jude Bellingham. It’s foolish to think otherwise. #ENG

@FrazFletcher Trippier, at some stage

Who is the next big manager? What person do you think will become the next elite coach?

@CraigHope_DM We’re not taking enough risks in possession - switching play or playing through press. We’ll get it right, always start slow and losing our main striker has amplified this.

Newcastle have been behind for less than an hour across 6 PL games (only Palace can better that) but they're 15th with one victory What does that tell you? It's not working in attack. They're still searching for a new way to win games Woltemade is both the problem (that's not a criticism) & the solution. He's the only player to score in his 3 PL games so needs to start, but the team is not functioning around him. They're very good players, they need to adapt quicker than what they have

@coopsmj @MsiDouglas 😆 the sad thing is I didn’t go out on a Friday night (rarely), my laziness was much more deep rooted than a hangover. Plus I had people like you to run, I just do the sexy stuff

@Spudwilson1 @MsiDouglas Our movement & running resembles you c.2010 ie ploddy and lethargic at best. Wonder if they’ve been to Moko and Vipers too?
