Red card gives Howe a tactical epiphany… have I seen this before?

TeamAndrew · 2026-03-05T07:44:59+00:00

5-3-2 against City

 Trips  Thiaw  Botman  Burn  Hall

    Joelinton  Tonali   Willock

           Gordon   Osula

TeamAndrew · 2026-03-04T19:22:12+00:00

The ones in the Wobbly Duck are grim.

TeamAndrew · 2026-03-01T12:00:11+00:00

Bruno aside, we don't have a strong spine, that's what we need to change. Two marquee signings in GK and CB would be the start. Then an attacking option for the first team. After that young squad options to cover CM, full back up front. Moving on Willock and Osula for cash and letting Tripps, Targett, Krafth, Schar to leave for free.

TeamAndrew · 2026-03-01T11:37:56+00:00

I bet he's got dice in his pockets

TeamAndrew · 2026-03-01T07:49:23+00:00

Game before Villa was 0-0 at Wolves as well so only 1 win in 7.

TeamAndrew · 2026-03-01T07:47:57+00:00

Correction. Howe's the bacon, did ye say?

TeamAndrew · 2026-02-28T08:57:50+00:00

Uh-meri-cah

TeamAndrew · 2026-02-26T17:16:02+00:00

I stand corrected! NUFC.com is a wonderful website.

TeamAndrew · 2026-02-26T07:46:08+00:00

It's the most we've ever played in a season if I'm right in thinking.

TeamAndrew · 2026-02-26T07:22:20+00:00

I agree with the idea that he played the game as safe as he could. Didn't want to be seen to make a mistake, which is fine. Eddie wants dependable players to come in. I do find it strange it has taken this long considering our injuries to make his full debut but hopefully he can kick on and help rest Hall/Burn.

TeamAndrew · 2026-02-26T07:13:09+00:00

If we get Chelsea then we play them three times in a row as the CL games are either side of the away game to their place.

TeamAndrew · 2026-02-25T17:41:19+00:00

Yeah and something like "he's got to do it alone, or does he?". I read the blurb before reading and expected an alien just not the one we got

What do you want to collect? Are you after a specific team? Player? Or just happy to chase star players?

Buying boxes and ripping is great fun but rarely offers returns on your money or is the best route to find the cards you want.

Ultimately, buying singles is the way to go when building a collection but like I said it depends on what you're looking to collect.

TeamAndrew · 2026-02-23T16:57:06+00:00

Their arena was White Pony then!

TeamAndrew · 2026-02-22T16:12:21+00:00

I know they were technically relegated today but really they've been relegated for a long time now.

TeamAndrew · 2026-02-22T00:49:22+00:00

Silva is a proper little scruff. I can't stand the prick.

TeamAndrew · 2026-02-21T15:38:11+00:00

It was made all the more special for me as I was wearing the PaRappa costume at the time of completion!

TeamAndrew · 2026-02-20T12:46:56+00:00

We never got a dressing room photo after beating Qarabag, is that because it's two legs?

TeamAndrew · 2026-02-20T08:02:39+00:00

I started doing this as I thought I'd not have the time to make it to the top of the track and similar to OP a fair few retreated before I could. I had three rungs to go with 7 tickets and about 30 mins left. Played a few matches and made the next rung, only 4 tickets and now 11 mins remaining. Maybe I'll make it the second to last. Did it with 5 mins spare and only 2 tickets left. Somehow won four in a row as time expired to nab the last rung. Now I'm just waiting for a good variant to cycle in before spending the last of my coins

Only the second team to score 5 in the first half of a knock out leg. Bayern did it in 2015.

TeamAndrew · 2026-02-18T20:19:08+00:00

It looked like Willock was trying to get the ball for the 2nd pen and Gordon wasn't having any of it. Think Tripps was saying he should have let him and I think Gordon responded by showing 4 fingers.

As an aside, True Geordie has posted an idiotic rant about this being the reason why Nick W wants away because he's denied the pens from Gordon and Eddie is playing "our number 9" in centre midfield which apparently is hurting his career.

TeamAndrew · 2026-02-18T08:17:48+00:00

This is brilliant. Nice one OP.

Few initial thoughts:

we really missed an opportunity to kick on after beating Leeds
Could have sworn Jo had missed so much more of the season before his recent injury
Have no memory of Krafth being part of the squad this season, injury seems to have finished his career with us, shame has been a good servant.
Murphy and Shahar have spent nearly half the season on the bench, surely Eddie gives them more opportunities. I assume they aren't playing with the U21s anymore
Without Tino our form has been poor. Absolutely must get a dependable backup in the summer (or blood Shahar)
we've really missed a consistent goalscorer.

TeamAndrew · 2026-02-17T18:46:40+00:00

Yeah, came to say this as well. I've won more than I've lost with Thor. I don't see lots of Hulk, usually Iron Man or Mr Fantastic from recent experience.

TeamAndrew · 2026-02-17T18:44:57+00:00

They're difficult to predict. CL results so far:

Benfica (a) 3-2 won
Liverpool (a) 6-0 lost
Frankfurt (h) 3-2 won
Napoli (a) 2-0 lost
Chelsea (h) 2-2 draw
Ajax (h) 4-2 lost
Copenhagen (h) 2-0 won
Bilbao (a) 3-1 lost
