@itvfootball It’s incredible that England have played Iceland 500 times. Surely, the fixture organisers can show a little more ambition.

England women will honour a landmark milestone in their storied history when they play their 500th international against Iceland 🇮🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 The team will wear a bespoke Lionesses Nike Limited Edition 500th Anniversary Game Pre-Match Top. Inspired by the original Women’s FA logo in tribute to the team’s early pioneers, the commemorative top will be worn during the warm-up against Iceland.

@BasilTheGreat Perhaps time to make the state pension means tested and refer to it as a benefit. You could increase payments to those who genuinely need it and still save billions by removing it from people who don’t need it.

🚨BREAKING: For the FIRST TIME in British History the UK WELFARE BILL now exceeds INCOME TAX This is insane Keir Starmer is driving us off a cliff Income Tax revenue - £331 BILLION Benefits & welfare - £333 BILLION

@IanSeers @OasisArchives He’s thrown a copper kettle and over a pub, what have you done?

Noel Gallagher played a rare electric version of “Slide Away” at the King’s Head Pub in Santa Monica, USA (1998)

Legend. One of our best ever signings.

@paul_blenky @premierleague Very sustainable… 🤔

Breaking news, the @premierleague is rigged, corrupt af. #NUFC

@Bob_Helpful What’s the numbers on flapping at crosses or limply pushing the ball back into scoring positions for the opposition?

Ramsdale vs Pope. Reality is probably neither are good enough to be a starting keeper for a team with ambitions of getting into Europe. The £25m price tag for Ramsdale would be poor use of limited funds #nufc

@NUFCThreatLevel It’s abhorrent behaviour. People are fucking sick.

It’s irresponsible to be posting updates on Kevin Keegan without solid proof they’ve actually come from the man himself. I’ve seen that Facebook post doing the rounds. This isn’t the time to be first with ‘the news’. #NUFC

@tfalex1892 He wasn’t on the pitch when we scored the winners against Fulham or Leeds but for balance, he went off at 1-0 against Arsenal.

His last game there was Leeds at home. Before that point when he started home games as a striker, we’d lost once, in the 96th minute v Arsenal. Might be a simplistic was of looking at it - but it feels like we’ve torched the season for some reason, when things were working well!

League games at SJP this season Woltemade starting up front: 9 games - 20 points Anyone else up front: 7 games - 6 points Was it really not working (at SJP) to such a degree? Surely worth getting him back there for the rest of the season?

@PeteGravesTV Probably have the same impact he had on us with Spurs but with a higher ceiling because of SCR.

One final thought. And listen, I appreciate all the replies. Helps me gauge online fan opinion. If the "Eddie out" crew get their wish. Do you think he'd struggle to find another job? Or quickly pop up at one of our rivals? He's the best English manager by a mile.

@IvXv @CraigHope_DM That’s a really interesting view. The lack of width may be misleading but nobody playing in the middle lane of the pitch speaks volumes.

@CraigHope_DM Played as a 10, and yet somehow was one of the deepest lying players… make it make sense.

For those who have replied asking “did you watch the game? Woltemade was not No.10” Woltemade WAS No.10! Eddie Howe spoke afterwards about using him as a 10 & changing the shape I mean, wasn’t this obvious just by watching the game?

@CraigHope_DM Which year was he referring to?

⚫️ Eddie Howe on Sunderland defeat 🗣️ "This was very, very painful. But it was most painful for our supporters, and it’s them I think about now. There is no excuse, when you have not performed & have not delivered. We have not done our jobs well enough. I understand the reaction at the end of the game. My first thought as a leader is to front up & absorb it. You can use whatever word you want, I won’t challenge it. The only thing we can do is come back stronger from it. 🗣️ "Our technical delivery was off today. We missed three midfielders who would have given us control. It left us unbalanced. The game became transitional & we made it too much like they wanted it. We lost control in the second half. 🗣️ "They were two poor goals to concede but that’s not a one-off for us. We have defended poorly since the turn of the year"

@MsiDouglas But he’s too stubborn to do anything about it. Shoe horning players into positions and playing a way they’re not capable of. The result hurts more than others, but we’ve been that poor all season.

Eddie Howe: "Very, very painful. Most of all painful for our supporters and they're the ones I think about now. I've got very little to use as an excuse. Once you haven't performed and you know how much the game means you have to accept the criticism. "I understand the reaction at the end of the game." "I'm fully committed (to the job). I'm disappointed in myself and my delivery over the last week." #nufc

“We press in a way that allows the opposition’s defender to carry the ball forwards under no pressure & play an unopposed pass to put an unmarked forward through on goal & square it to the forward we couldn’t be arsed to track for a tap in.”

@FelixLongbrook @SkySportsNews While ignoring James’ rugby tackle on Thiaw in the box at a corner too that would have made it 2-0 and game over.

@SkySportsNews Palmer stood on Woltemade's foot.

"There is nothing with that huddle that is disrespectful to the opposition" Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior reacts to the bizarre moment referee Paul Tierney was caught in the middle of his players' huddle before the Premier League game against Newcastle 🎙️

@eight_b No way the ref is chalking that one off. Great finish

“The goal scorer…number 12…The Ref!”

@Kevg1083 Plays like he’s waiting on a hip replacement.

25 mins we were good and at it! Rest of game shite and it’s on Howe! Players out of position, subs with zero impact and abject 2nd half showing! Has Wissa had 2 knee replacements? Runs like he has and touched the ball 3 times! He’s shit

Someone needs to check on Peter Bankes @FA_PGMOL, he’ll be distraught that Man Utd haven’t won.

@Regista10_ Have you thought about “supporting” another team?

Things that have nowt to do with Nick Woltemade: Nick Pope dropping clangers Tripps legs have gone Thiaw burn out Burn offers nowt with the ball Willock fuckin diabolical Bruno injured Miley injured Tonali still not the same player Murphy coward footballer Elanga one of the worst wingers in the PL, worse than Obertan Gordon only arsed for the big games, selfish little scrag Wissa has been a total disgrace, lazy, unfit, uninterested bastard Barnes utter shite unless he scores Eddie Howe being found out as a mid table, smug, naive, unadapatable manager who manipulates the media, locks onto favourites in the dressing room & happy to chuck others under the bus. Others like Nick Woltemade. #nufc

@OasisArchives @NoelGallagher Is that not James “Little James” Kerr?
