Hidden value - his gams will add at least £500k to his transfer price when we sell him. #ncfc

They probably think Stacey got a concussion because he didn’t do enough Wordles. #ncfc

The replays looked really bad - he got bumped sideways with his foot planted and had no way to adjust to the force. I feel terrible for him. #ncfc

There’s a reason why some courts used to insist that their functionaries be eunuchs.

PC told the media that the whole thing was on him, that Jurasek wasn’t recovered enough from his illness amd he shouldn’t have put him in. That may just be him protecting his player, but it’s what he said.

There’s been an overall lack of fitness. I’d guess they haven’t shown what PC is looking for in training? Bad beeps?

We do seem to have some attacking quality on the bench today, at least.

From what PC has said in interviews so far, I think he’s basing a lot of his choices on who’s fit enough to press and work the way he wants is to out of possession. He also may want to rotate for freshness because of how hard he demands they work. #ncfc

Plenty of targets up front for Stacey to hit with crosses…

Has Wright started since then?

Just looked at some coverage of Saints’ search. The interim manager, Tonda Eckert, has won his first 2 matches in charge and there’s a rumor that the owners will give him 3 more matches before deciding whether to make him permanent or replace him.

First time I’ve heard this cover - it’s awesome!

Although of course, despite Artie Fufkin’s insistence, that event’s failure was NOT his fault at all! Mainly it was down to the band and to Sir Dennis Eton-Hogg.

Haha for a second I thought you’d written “Marcondes/Sinani” and I was VERY confused about what year it was 😅😅

I assume Clement I will go with a 4-2-3-1. KMc at LB (no one else is healthy), Darling & 1 of the 3 right-footers at CB, Fisher RB, interesting choices at CM (Wright likely to pair with…?), Josh up front, MK at 10, & then…Forson/Jurasek/Oscar S/Makama? Sounds like he’ll stress pressing? #ncfc

I dunno, JHT and LM were both very much employed, under contract, and very highly thought of when we hired them.

I do have a job, but not in football. And I must confess I’m a bit of a bargain where football gaffers are concerned. #ncfc

Roberts and the other SCOTUS Republicans also gutted the ACA’s Medicaid expansion for absolutely absurd reasons.

…will be angry and unhappy in any Championship season where #ncfc isn’t winning every match 3-0 with 60% possession.
November 16, 2025 at 5:44 PM
Not surprising at all. Similarly, if Knapper had stuck with Wilshere for this season, a big section of the fanbase would have called it was a lazy appointment & more of the #ncfc “insiders club”.

As much as fans say they just want an identifiable style & hard work, a big chunk of our fanbase….
