@marksandspencer @AldiUK And don’t give me that revenue bollox as that’s not even fit for purpose as each area of the country has different attractions and prices like London is more expensive than the north east so therefore generates more revenue by default so how that a fair comparison? #NUFC

[Ian Strong @MrStrong__]

I get that players want to play in the CL and win things but what gets me is wanting that after the season of not being good enough to get there in the first place.

As for winning things, that’s not guaranteed. Look at Isak, went and Liverpool didn’t win anything.

I mean in what other industries do you see owner of a business not being allow to spend what they want on their business. It would like @marksandspencer telling @AldiUK what they can and can’t sell. 🙄 ok bad example, sorry, but you get what I mean #NUFC

[Ian Strong @MrStrong__]

@marksandspencer @AldiUK Just scared of a bit of competition against clubs who have been able to do what they want for years I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️ eh? @premierleague #NUFC

[Ian Strong @MrStrong__]

I know I can talk about trophies etc as we’ve only got 1 in the last 70 years bla bla

But if we were afforded the privilege to be able to spend with no restrictions, that only came in after take over, funny that eh?, we would be in that position #NUFC

Arsenal’s last league title was, what, 22yrs ago. Might be another 22 before the next one.

But even if there’s consistency, like a Man City, are players really content and a sense of achievement of getting their medals and trophies for being bit part player? #NUFC

It would just be typical too that we go and beat Arsenal next week the struggle to get 2 points from the 4 games after that #NUFC

[Ian Strong @MrStrong__]

Some of these players, who want to win things and play champions league? If you were good enough we wouldn’t be in the position we’re in, regardless of formations and tactics, you’re supposed to be fucking super stars. Pfft. I could do better and I’m over 40 with dodgy legs #NUFC

[Ian Strong @MrStrong__]

Shocking you’ve got to have a membership like.

[Ian Strong @MrStrong__]

I’m not saying that’s what I would want either. If it did happen he’d only be here a couple of seasons at most which is pointless. Maybe 10yrs ago but it’s something I’ve always thought would happen #NUFC

[Ian Strong @MrStrong__]

I’m not Howe out but I do believe that his tenure will be dictated by how well England do at the World Cup and if Tuchel stays on. I’ve also said, going back 15-20yrs ago that I believe at some point Mourinho will be manager.

Absolutely disgusting 2nd half. It’s every game now! Half arsed, shite play #NUFC

[Ian Strong @MrStrong__]

I’m struggling to understand that 2nd half. After playing so well in the 1st leg and decent in the 1st half. What happened at half time? Did they all bang their heads and get concussed and forget how to play football? #NUFC

[Ian Strong @MrStrong__]

@UtdRobert Was only to existing season ticket holders, and got snapped up straightaway sooo… yeah, a non argument

[Ian Strong @MrStrong__]

Always gets me that we play well one game then the next is like they’ve never met each other

We need that consistency for the rest of the season

No complaints, it was a pen, yes the whistle should’ve went well before that but we need to keep our heads to see games out #NUFC

[Ian Strong @MrStrong__]

Thoroughly deserved that. Everyone worked so hard and even harder after that ridiculous sending off. Again though, shocking officiating. #NUFC

[Ian Strong @MrStrong__]

I kw EVE parked the bus and the officiating again was disgraceful but we were far too slow in attacking and moving the ball around. Taking far too many touches and turning away from goal. Lack of basics. 1 mind on Barca? Want to play UCL? League form needs to improve #NUFC

[Ian Strong @MrStrong__]

The fact Willock was near the half way line and still had to cut in with then 3 spurs players around him, I don’t think his forehead gained any advantage there. #NUFC

[Ian Strong @MrStrong__]

We’re just far too open at the back. Misplaced passes. Trying to play through players. Not taking a shot from outside the box. Nothings clicking. No confidence. No hope. We need to get back to how we used to play and not complain about the amount of game. #NUFC
