It can't go on like this though, can it?............

Bruno Fernandes creates a lot of chances. Amad and Bryan Mbeumo have chipped in too. None of them are playing. We need to get stuck into these and be positive, nothing to be frightened of imo.

another dreadful performance. ramsey looks way off it. elanga likewise. so short of ideas in the final third. in desperate need of some creativity, guile and craft. we're too direct throughout the team. without hall and bruno we'd be so far up shit creek. #nufc

For sure - though Romero's first was a very good header, Pope is normally in the right place for that to just hit him. He'd have punched the cross for the second goal into orbit too. Think we might just have to accept that this is going to be a frustrating season.

I love Burn but he’s starting to become an absolute liability. Between him Ramsdale, they cost us that game. Spurs utterly atrocious, yet more points dropped and it’s a habit that is becoming a farce.

brilliant this, thanks george. i was at st james' when he scored that last-second winner against chelsea in the depths of the bruce era. one of my favourite footballing memories.

what a guy

🚨 emergency substack 🚨

isn't he two-footed? think i remember reading a piece about it - would happily take that though i do wonder for the £ if he has the vision/technical ability to help us break down low blocks in the manner we seem to struggle

i really fancy we'd have had a crack at kulusevski before his knee exploded and/or spurs won UEL

Noni Madueke said to be on the market now... would he factor into the equation? Seems like the sort of player Howe would like on that side... strong ball-carrier, high volume shot-taker etc

Not this one. Not his finest season this year but a full summer off and a Champions League stage to impress next year, he’ll be back as a fan favourite before long

can't see all of our business being done in the premier league though, particularly after the mitchell comments when he arrived at the club. two of delap/mbuemo/ramsay would be nice and then a couple of 'out of the blue' signings from beyond #NUFC

the jacob ramsay links make a lot of sense to me - screams of being an eddie howe player and would add some much-needed depth to a midfield that looks way short when one of the big three is missing #NUFC

‘You Can’t Lick a Badger Twice’: Google Failures Highlight a Fundamental AI Flaw Google’s AI Overviews feature credible-sounding explanations for completely made-up idioms.

What does the expression “a loose dog won't surf” mean?

Absolutely nothing. But if you type that into Google, AI Overviews will not only confirm that your gibberish is a real saying, it will also tell you what it means and how it was derived. Oh AI...

Think it’s still tight until we get the other side of Villa & Chelsea

mr beast tweet reads: I have a pilot living in a $2,500,000 private jet and if he doesn’t leave for 100 days he keeps it, a cop/criminal in a jail and if they don’t leave for 100 days they win $500,000, and someone living in a gym until he loses 100 pounds for $500,000. Can’t wait to upload these 🥰

mr beast talking about the human lives he has trapped in simultaneous simulations with "cant wait to upload these" is why black mirror can never be as good as it used to be

never ever thought I’d cry at a football match but delighted to report that I wept like a baby after the final whistle. the best day of my life. #NUFC

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

😔

It's not an assumption to suggest Dubravka is less active off his line than Pope, it's the reality. Dubravka has performed 130 actions outside his area since 2017-18, Pope has performed 377 at an average distance much further from his own touchline (16.3 yards vs 12.1)

i would like to retract this statement

i've had a few days to calm down and think about it, and i've decided we're going to win the carabao cup. big jo/lil jo left hand side, run it back. willock can cook against trent. #NUFC

Let’s be frank, we’ve been absolutely shit for weeks. No sign of it improving yet. Full clear out and squad refresh needed this summer. I’m done with some of these players. #NUFC

so many of this team’s issues stem from a lack of pace at the back. even in possession, our lack of speed moving the ball and/or being in position to receive a pass causes us so many issues in build up #NUFC
