  1. We've done alright out of poor old Newcastle, I wonder who we will sell at 3x the going rate to rich new Newcastle. Not a club whose recruitment is particularly shrewd, barring Saint-Maximin.
  2. Kabak appears to have the attributes required of a cdm and would allow us to play a more attacking shape. It's not a square peg into a round hole. He looks far better on the ball than Amadou for instance.
  3. Will settle for a solo run/goal from the halfway line against the gooners
  4. That in itself is fairly irrelevant given the starting 11 is completely different.
  5. I think the one thing we haven't really learnt from last time around, and Watford and Brentford already had in their squads was that we're are physically too small as a team. When confidence is low and passes started going astray we were not competing physically. Normann changes that a bit. I'd also be keen to see kabak in a cdm role, not sure if he's done it before, with Normann operating further into the middle of the park.
  6. St benedicts Street City side of Dereham Road had a few good pubs, not been since lockdown though. The X bells and the plough. Plus some nice places to eat down there.
  7. I agree, anyone who still thinks we're going to win the league is a barnpot
  8. Aarons, Normann (on limited evidence), Giannoulis (in a back 5), Cantwell, Pukki Both Sargent and Tzolis look a bit wet behind the ears at the moment but can see the quality is there. Same to a lesser extent with Rashica. Krul would have had a shout before this season.
  9. Other than Giannoulis in for Williams, I think it's about as good as we've got. Perhaps a case for Gilmour instead of Kenny. PLM looked good on Tues and deserves a start. We just need to make sure that Gibson isn't taking the ball from Krul under pressure. Neither are assured enough in that left corner.
  10. Had a poor night definitely but some of the comments about someone who is only 20 are plain ridiculous. Farke should have taken him off at 60mins and perhaps saved some of this bile. At that age a couple of bad touches early on can upset a half, if it continues then the whole game is a write off. He was up against Konate, a first team player, and gomez another player who would likely play in most prem backlines. If nothing else it was a lesson for him against some World level defenders.
  11. I think Normann tiring was pretty pivotal in the game. He of course was implicated in their 2nd, and had he been on the pitch and fully fit probably would have been where Kenny was for the 3rd. We were out muscled. Billy gave his best but sissoko was kicking his a45e. He should have gone down more but we got very little protection from the ref. Josh king bullied max too. They won the physical battles everywhere except near Normann, kazak and Sargent. Cleverley and their other cm were streetwise, bought fouls to break up play. Otherwise it was an even game with periods of play swinging in each team's favour. When we were ticking, there was 15 mins when we should have scored to take the lead. had them under all sorts of pressure and Watford resorted to the hoof. It isn't all doom and gloom. But it does feel like it.
  12. I think the league in general is stronger which will make it more difficult, but still possible. In other words I have no doubt we are in with a shout but need others to have a meltdown. I'm thinking Newcastle, Southampton, Brentford, Watford, Burnley, Palace and wolves will be in and around us.
  13. Jollis according to radio Norfolk last night. Took me longer than it should to realise it wasn't Bournemouth who had scored.
  14. A question I've always wanted the answer to but never had the motivation to seek the answer for. Thanks for asking. Shame about the answer though.
  15. I wonder if Vinnie Jones and John Fashanu are available on a free?
  16. Arsenal big enough and in need enough to be linked with anyone with two legs and a pulse. Reality is they will waste a shed load on some overpriced muppet due to their name rather than overall ability. Would have preferred EB to have gone there though, wholly more palatable for some reason.
  17. Does anyone remember the same ref having a total mare at carra a few years ago? I might have the wrong guy, but someone matching this bloke's description definitely didn't know what he was doing and the Barclay let him know. He may not like us.
  18. Haha. Sorry. Obviously not part of the clique. Who'd have thought it, an abusive faceless bully trolling because they can't afford to move out of their mother's house and meet a significant other. I'll be in the River End Saturday. But not on here again. Sweep the dorito crumbs off your belly, pack your keyboard away and go and meet someone who doesn't require pre-payment. All the best though hey.
  19. That did not look good. For anyone who didn't just see Max limp off the u21 game. It didn't look good.
  20. Gees! We beat a very poor Newcastle 3-1, following week a decent Newcastle turn up and beat Spurs away. It's football. We'll probably spank Man City in response.
