That’s the cityitus coming out, we all get it from time to time

Nothing wrong with being vigilant. Human nature to relax when you do well. That is when you need self motivation, and god captain, and coach. And vigilant fans to tell the players who read this topic what to do.

I actually prefer scraped wins. The aftermath of 7-0 could easily be a performance of arrogance.

Yeah I do as well, wouldn’t mind a 5-0 though against Newcastle and a 4-0 against Brentford, the piss boiling would be something to behold..

If God is our captain….everything is sorted.

I wonder if a name has been attached. "Although accused of sports washing, in reality, it is more about the naked commercial interests of the investors, emulating the American sports franchise model" derby should be accurate enough.

Well his son plays for us so we're halfway there!

Updated it, I think it was a rest before any discomfort kicked it:

With the glut of games coming up, I would rest Bernardo on Sunday.

I can see this being another rout for us. These are useless and if we play like last night, well I think I’ll go for Toon 0 The Mighty Blues 4.

They’ll park the bus make very hard Howe had principles in how his teams plays football passing attacking principles then last season at his last club went to parking the bus and that got him the sack.

How do you pick a team for this?
Walker,Cancelo Jesus and Stirling in contention but we played so we'll last night it's harsh to drop anyone.
I'd play the team we had at utd

 

[Semper aggressus]

Will be much tougher than last night’s game. Geordies will play like Wolves did I reckon, they’ll be shitting themselves after seeing us last night and just park the bus hoping Saint-Maximin gets one chance on the break.

To avoid that we must absolutely go at them right from the off, hopefully get an early goal then keep bettering them. Need to carry on putting chances away. Strongest available team for this one.
