It doesn't matter how many times the point gets laboured, the transformation of some key underperformers Eddie Howe inherited - Joelinton, Schar, Fraser, Shelvey & Willock - is phenomenal.

Sorry to unnecessarily rant, but this sort of headline infuriates me. It is so disrespectful.
"Sloppy United" could refer to Sheffield United, who actually won the game.
When two Uniteds are playing, the "United" moniker should be dropped.

Wonderful generosity from

fans, raising £16,000 for the NUFC Fans Food Bank via

£11,000 donated yesterday from more than 1,000 fans.
At a time when so many desperately need help, it will go a long way. Far better than spending £14.95 on a single PL game.

Just when you thought Mike Ashley couldn't get any more infuriating, he talks about "dark forces" being the reason why

Still trying to comprehend just how good Callum Wilson was yesterday.
