@daveazzopardi cheat code for 10 years - we just had to build a team around him - which we couldn’t quite do. I saw him first match back after WC 1990 a Friendly vs Swansea at the vetch - 2nd half hat trick after coming on at HT. The change after training with top stars for 6 weeks was huge

Frustrates me so much that I never had the pleasure of watching this man play

@henrywinter I think with Trent you need to build the way the team defends especially around him to get the best of out of him. Obviously Tommy tuchel doesn’t think he has the time like a club side to do it - Liverpool were built around Trent and Salah

Still can’t believe that England are going to the World Cup without arguably their best passer. Watching fringe candidates labour at Wembley highlights even more the nonsense of Alexander-Arnold’s omission. He’s a game-changing option from the bench. If you have pace out wide in Gordon/Rashford and Saka/Madueke/Bowen and want to launch a quick counter, TAA can deliver. If England are in a shoutout, he can deliver. Risk/reward. #ENG

@RobertACoe @OllieHolt22 It was a mix of B&C team vs their A team

@OllieHolt22 England would have lost this game in a knockout tie in extra time. All the momentum was with Uruguay in the final few minutes. Most players fluffed their auditions. Toothless up front and fragile at back. Players too nice also, should have surrounded ref after Foden foul

'When you play against Ugarte and Valverde,' Tuchel says, ' you see the level.'

@domihough @WestHam_Central Especially when we (Wolves) have no pressure at all and are on our best form of the season (still nothing to write home about tbf) that first goal is so important in this one

@WestHam_Central That next home game against Wolves is going to be unbearable...not sure I can take it. A real must-win!! I am going to be a nervous wreck throughout that one. Why do we put ourselves through this type of agony...🙏🤞⚒️

Morning after thoughts? How do we get out of this? 7 to go.

@TouchlineX Liverpool 14 wins, Rayo 7 wins

🚨 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪: Rayo Vallecano have lost 10 games in La Liga and are 13th in the league. Meanwhile Liverpool have also lost 10 games in the Premier League and are still 5th in the league.

@Jaack Brentford v Burnley

Football fans… Picture this… it’s Super Sunday… you’re hungover… You turn the football on. Premier league clash. 5:30pm. What is the WORST feasible fixture you’d hate to see? Which two clubs?

@catyler84 Got to agree - how are we 30points behind that shower goodness knows

Everton are 7th.. If that doesn’t tell you this has been the biggest fuck up season for #wwfc nothing will.. Yet the Fosun Clappers still seem to be out in force..

@henrywinter @Declancarr96 His job is to win a major tournament if he doesn’t think Trent can be part of his team set up then so be it . Next manager might make Trent captain who knows - that’s football

@Declancarr96 bemusing, Declan. Just don't understand it.

Tuchel’s an absolute joker. He’s going to leave England’s best creative player at home for the World Cup…

@BrummieTricky Old Viktor thinking about his bonus - purely on staying up

Same manager who was “begging” for our support last week btw, has just done that. A disgrace to the club and to the badge. Chucking in the towel in a R16 European tie? SACK HIM #nffc

@chimaobi_saint They are mid table team - with injuries who have played the most games in top 5 leagues in Europe - 2nd half was horrendous but 3/4 of the tie were close. And remember they played in the league in another tight game plus didn’t Chelsea beat Barca in the league phase

🚨🎙️Gary Neville on what happened to Newcastle: "I’m sitting here in absolute shock. We spend every single week talking about the 'intensity' of the Premier League, the 'physicality' of our game, and how it’s the elite standard of world football. Last night, Barcelona didn't just beat a Premier League team; they humiliated the entire English top flight. "We call this the 'best league in the world,' but last night Barcelona treated a top-four English side like a training cone. Seven goals? It’s a humiliation. It’s a shame for our game. You can’t talk about 'EPL intensity' when you’re being carved open like a Sunday League team. Barca are simply on another planet."

@henrywinter I suppose though given there are 2 dominant teams in Spain they have the best kids from all over Spain?

8 of the 16 players Barcelona used last night were nurtured fully, or partly, by the club. That breeds togetherness and identity. Whether for reasons of financial necessity or club culture, more English clubs need to re-assess the balance between recruitment and development. 1/2

@WilliamGibb2 @tobyasky @Oladele_awo Not sure the point tbh - Barca have better players than Newcastle regardless what they paid for them

@jayster990 @tobyasky @Oladele_awo How much did Newcastle pay for the squad they have 400m , Barca have a brilliant academy. There is your answer . Newcastle bought a squad 4 times Barca squad. Tourist league throwing money at dumplings why England will win no international honours

6 English teams in the Round of 16. 4 are out. Barcelona 8-3 Newcastle PSG 8-2 Chelsea Real Madrid 5-1 Atletico Madrid 7-5 Tottenham Only one English team will potentially progress, which is Arsenal, and it’s because they’re playing Sporting (no disrespect to sporting). PSG will likely progress ( these are my predictions). Let’s be honest, the football played in England has declined this season. Teams have refused to play, there’s too much money involved in the league, people are too careful to play football now. Lots of time wasting, lots of dark arts football, throw ins, set pieces are the order of the day. Little or no brilliance. These are things I think have affected them. What do you think?

@tobyasky @Oladele_awo No it’s not - that’s what they bought them for not their asset value - Barcas team is valued much higher than Newcastle

@Oladele_awo Yes, you can…but don’t forget Newcastle’s squad is worth 4 times that of Barca. £90m to £400m. This is not the Barca of old you know, they’re more or less broke. The game could have gone any way.

@molineuxmusings Yes we’ve been down since end November- they are trying to build momentum for next season by not continually losing

Why haven’t we gone to a back 4 in the last 10? The back three allowed them safe possession. Brentford were done at 2-2 and I’m sorry, but draws mean nothing except for maintaining a sense of competitiveness about the end of our season. Am I being unreasonable?

@MrRyanLeister How is Angel a yellow card for block tackle and that full back who scored didn’t get one for the pull back

#BREWOL Even by the relentlessly low standards of Stuart Attwell, that was bad. The fact he’s top flight match official shines a light on how poor the level is in the Premier League. Another truly inconsistent, incompetent & pathetic display.

@YasWWFC Good signing for the championship

Deary me

@BrummieTricky The damage he did at Wolves is untold. Ironically I think he will take you down as well

Vitor 1 win in 7 No wins in 6 including 4 defeats He was appointed for a instant manager bounce. Haven’t got it, doesn’t matter if we have 4 managers or 5. #nffc

Offer Thomas Frank an absolute wedge to keep us up as a bonus, pragmatic managers are no good to the “big clubs” look at Nuno at spurs. Offer him £250,000 per win and 5m to keep us up. Something huge he can’t turn down and make it incentive based. #nffc

@theawayfans As if Leicester, Boro and Fulham have more than Wolves 😆

Clubs ranked on size, sent in by a follower… 🤔

@molineuxmusings Am I right that Viktor has only won 1 game

Thursday nights in Europe ain’t for everyone.

@TheAthleticFC @TimSpiers Or they just had a bad week - which can happen

Europe 16-6 England. For the Premier League elite, two days of chastening Champions League results were a reminder that, while it is club football’s financial power, it is far from dominant on the field. Unless its relentless schedule is eased, it’s hard to see that changing. 📝 @TimSpiers nytimes.com/athletic/71096…
