  1. True. I'll just have to accept he actually has some ability to joke/troll us regardless if it doesn't really suit him. Credit where credit is due, there are now plenty on twitter whose piss is boiling once more
  2. When I first read this I thought it was a meme/joke comment from someone else not sure whether to appreciate the bants or dislike him even more. Help I'm confused
  3. Beaky take the handbrake off his Nissan Micra? Chance would be a fine thing! Our Jack is like an Aston Martin... Classy, fast, very expensive and partial to a few naughty donuts
  4. I still can't believe we managed to keep him. An absolute masterstroke by Dean and the owners And look where we are now! I can't remember the last time I looked forward to the next match without fear of the opposition. This season could be a big turning point in our history. Maybe even getting back to somewhere near where we were with Martin O'Neil except in vastly better financial shape!
  5. Yeah do you reckon Gareth congratulated the Villa boys on a nice win?! He'll probably make them train on their own as punishment
  6. What was his injury?! Must have been serious to be out for so long!
  7. We all want to see him bossing for England but at the same time not picking up an injury! It's a nightmare lol. Would be good if that Iceland game was cancelled!
  8. Our second most important signing after Jack. He's been outstanding! I love his can do attitude and European ambitions. I think the only thing that could stop us having a shot at top 6 is depth of the squad and the way Dean is reluctant to use subs will see us have injury concerns I fear.
  9. Arsenal defenders were terrified! Like a rabbit in the headlights. Every game he's getting stronger and more confident. There really isn't much opposition managers can do, you kick him and concede fouls... you don't kick him and you get skinned! Amazing to watch at the moment.
  10. Targett was brilliant last night. Really stepped up this season and looks more focussed and determined. Better players means better shape and I think this has taken the pressure off his side a bit.
  11. To be honest at about 70 mins I was thinking Nakamba should come on for Ross as I thought he was crocked! But then he was still bombing around lol
  12. He worked so hard today and kind of dictated the pace of the game. Slowed it down or pushed forward when needed. Always in the thick of it!
  13. Jack was never slow but my word he's upped his pace this season. He's also shooting more and was very unlucky not to have scored 2 tonight. That volley was heading in no doubt in my mind! When Southgate insinuates he lacks pace and athleticism what actual narcotics is he on?!
  14. Bit early to judge Ross I think guys. Early days.
  15. Harry is spot on and we all knew it. Southgate was gutted when Jack put in a MOTM performance. That's why he couldn't talk about it.
  16. I don't think there is a big problem with fitness necessarily although that side can always be improved. The main problem is that we've lost control of the last two games and whatever tactic Dean set out at the start was either flawed or not carried out by the players. So when the goals start flying in its headless chicken mode and when that happens you cease to be efficient with your energy. You've lost control it looks bad. Somehow Dean needs to learn how to regain control and composure when things go wrong.
  17. Yes Of course, all very well fixing the situation when we've practically lost the game but the team needs to be setup right from the kick off. Can't repeat same mistakes going forward. Then there's silly things such as defensive mismatches putting Meatball on the big guy. These details are important and the players need to know what the crack is in those types of situations.
  18. We've had a very decent start to the season despite today's disappointing result. We reduced the goal deficit at least which was important and something to take into the next game against Arsenal. Southampton scored 3 superb goals and that's pretty unfortunate for us so I actually don't feel too bitter about the result. Onwards and upwards
  19. Our slow starts really wind me up. Dean needs to do a better job preparing/firing the players up for kick off. I know the players shouldn't need it but it is Dean's responsibility to send them out there to give 110% from the off, and if that isn't happening damn well shout and scream at the team and let them know it! Don't want to see him stand there muttering to himself.
  20. Like the fact that on a few occasions today he was looking to shoot early. The keeper did not expect that shot at the end did he lol
  21. Typical that Southampton keeper was on fire today as Trez could have bagged a couple! He had a very good second half.
  22. I think Traore started to give Trez a rest more than anything. Was unlucky to get injured so the wait goes on to fully evaluate him. Get well soon Traore!
  23. I think Dean could have got Davis on earlier but all ifs and buts now. As long as the team can bounce back.
  24. Meatball was sluggish tonight probably made to look worse by the pace of Leeds. Think Dean could have used subs much more wisely tonight.
