People say that dominating possession by utilising the likes of Zinchenko and TAA as inverted full/wing backs is a stroke of tactical genius. Sure Guardiola and the rest are good coaches, but I was using IWBs back in 2019 on Football Manager. Tactical genius, ahead of my time.

"It’s brewed in The UK. It’s made in the same place as Carling. The little fella with the waistcoat is just part of the con, it’s not even Spanish. It’s not from Madrid. It’s bullshit."

Never expected this from Sargent. Ever. Very disappointing if this is how he leaves #ncfc

Live shot of Greta's flotilla steaming towards Iran to save the people

If you claim to support human rights yet can’t bring yourself to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty in Iran, you’ve revealed yourself. You don’t give a damn about people being oppressed and brutalised so long as it’s being done by the enemies of your enemies.

Jeremy Corbyn has not posted *once* about the uprising in Iran. This is a man who has worked for Iranian state TV. Disgusting. Also only silence from Zack Polanski, Zarah Sultana and the rest of the craven virtue signallers. Their shame could not be clearer. Free Iran!

Iranians have gathered outside the BBC to protest its lack of #IranProtests coverage. “Ayatollah BBC!” They chant. https://t.co/b9na9HfVKF

Ah the game’s well and truly gone if we’re giving fouls, let alone yellow cards, for that Palhinha challenge. Pathetic

Liam Delay really is a scumbag. What a nasty piece of work.

Such an annoying, unnecessary result. Stoke absolutely bang average, but somehow we were worse. Could well have been Liam Manning in the dugout for that performance today #ncfc

And there’s no one I’d rather, than Jovon Makama, we’ve got super Jovon #ncfc

not surprised Christmas television ratings were so low - how can linear TV possibly compete with something like a 4-min compilation of Lewis Dunk chesting the ball back to the goalkeeper? https://t.co/xFoPk558NT

has* ffs 🤦🏻‍♂️

Tony Springett had turned into prime Lionel Messi. It’s a Christmas miracle #ncfc

Chrisene likewise. Looks like he’s playing at half speed. Crikey #ncfc

Slimane has been non-existent. Kvistgaarden or Marcondes on for him soon in the second half please big Phil #ncfc

People losing their mind over us rotating/resting players like Wright when we’ll have played 5 games in 15 days over the festive period is wild #ncfc
