Supporters could probably do with a break too, been an intense and not very enjoyable season so far.

PSV at home.

The defence has been a bit jittery this season, but also not very settled due to all the injuries.

Actually you do.

Without an accurate understanding of NUFC’s financial position relative to other clubs, any conclusion as to how much they should be spending on wages is ill informed guesswork.

Other clubs do all those things to.

You got some figures for this season to share with us?

What is our wage bill and what should it be?

In the absence of evidence that proves a correlation between independent events it shows jack shit.

Do try and keep up.

100%

He goes to kick the ball and is pushed to the ground so he can’t.

Perhaps he has been instructed to stay forward, we have been looking to him as an attacking out ball.

Managerial battle of wills, who blinks first kind of thing?

That’s a foul on Hall that prevented him ‘cutting’ the cross out.

He certainly is.

Most of the BBC political reporters are a disgrace, more concerned with pushing their personal agendas than reporting facts.

Repeatedly (and incorrectly) presenting fiscal drag as a tax rise being a point in case.

Commentators often mention how high up the away supporters are at SJP, but never the thousands of the home fans who also sit in L7.

Lazy cliches.

The drinks breaks are a set period and the ads have to stop 30 seconds before they end, or something like that.

What they are doing is establishing the principle of having ads during the game.

Think there were in-game ads in the rugby recently?

Direction of travel is clear.

FIFA to have ad breaks during hydration breaks in the WC.

Thin end of the edge, be ads during VAR reviews next, then when subs are made etc.

At some point the people who run football are going to make it unwatchable.

Handball, offside, VAR - is football too complicated? From handball, to offside and VAR, it has become difficult for supporters to follow what is going on with football.

The main reason football has become too complicated is the constant reinterpretation of the laws to justify giving certain teams favourable decisions.

Yellow card for throws ins not taken where the ball went out of play.

Corners. Ball considered to be in play when the ref blows the whistle to restart play, not when the ball is kicked - thereby making grappling in the box a foul.

When players dive to win a pen there’s always a bit theatrics, chucking their arms out, rolling around, squealing etc.

JR lost his balance after nearly being wiped out by the keeper.

Nope.

Another one of the FA’s random rules.

Should go back to having amateur refs.

No point paying these clowns £180k to do a worse job than a geography teacher will do for nowt.

Beggars belief.

If they are going to send a player off for diving they have to be 100% sure that’s what happened, and there is no way he could be certain he didn’t just fall over.

The immature joy of drawing a ‘comedy’ willy on things never leaves you - frosty car windows are the best

Osula is definitely better down the right.

#NUFC

Possibly, but we’re not alone - the standard of referring in the PL is dog shit.

A proper referee probably wouldn’t have booked anyone.

Unfortunately the PGMOL largely employ fuckwits.

I can live we the season we are having, but can’t accept a refereeing performance like that - card happy incompetent arsehole.

Only a few weeks since the officiating shit show at Villa Park.

The PGMOL are a disgrace.

#NUFC

They did absolutely nothing all game.

They’ll go back down next season.

Amazing salary for a job that requires no skills, qualifications or experience.

Should be paid the minimum wage.

Hard to pick a starting eleven atm so went with three principles.

Pope in poor form and Ramsdale has better distribution.

Trips needs a rest.

May as well give our new forward line a chance to gel.

#NUFC

One after we beat MU, which we will.

Disagree.

If our form doesn’t pick up soon we will be on the edge of the relegation scrap, at which point the pressure kicks in.

It’s unlikely but we need to get some points on the board sooner rather than later.
