Civil servant by day, theatre runner by night (and some of the day, but don't tell the civil service)
Utterly bemused by the tactics today. If someone like Pardew or McClaren had done that we'd be screaming for the sack.

Howe has credit in the bank but that was just awful #nufc
Full-time: #SAFC 1-0 #NUFC

Abject from #NUFC - & effects of this defeat could linger for Howe.

The negative set-up left #NUFC toothless & they never really looked like scoring.

Woltemade's own goal was bizarre & ultimately decisive.

Very disappointing all round.

For all Howe's comments about understanding the importance of this game, the way he's set the team up show he really doesn't.

Unforgivable to be so passive #nufc

Totally fed up with the Nick Pope is a nice guy brigade.

He's a shit shit goalkeeper

Murphy simply does not have the ability or nouse to play out from the back.

But he keeps trying to and giving it away #nufc

- Woltemarde isnt a striker. His goals so far have been blind luck
- Howe is incapable of rotating a squad when we're in Europe
- His in game management is atrocious and slow
- Pope is shit

That is all

Totally on Eddie Howe that one. We got away with one and didn’t with another.

Long, long season ahead. #nufc

Slow slow Howe again #nufc

Films: We need to hack a keycard, obtained by seducing one of the guards. We then need to drop in from the skylight after jumping from a plane, and dodge all of the lasers and traps, carefully switching the jewels for fakes that weigh the same to avoid tripping the alarm.

Then explain why the Government is still on that billionaire’s social network.
Keir Starmer tells his Cabinet that scenes of police under attack at a march "led by a convicted criminal and egged on by a foreign billionaire calling for violence" sent "a chill through the spines" of British people.
