F A cup home against Sunderland.

{Ed025's Note - tough one that GB..

08 Dec 2025 19:13:47
It is that mate.

{Ed025's Note - it will be interesting to see what sort of side Moyes puts out for this one?..

08 Dec 2025 19:16:08
Well let’s hope DM takes it seriously. No european football, this is our only chance of a trophy. Can’t put out a weakened team against Sunderland.

{Ed025's Note - dont bank on it Swinners..

08 Dec 2025 19:40:33
Yep guess that means putting out a weaker team has gone out the window now.

{Ed025's Note - i think that is in abeyance BMD..

08 Dec 2025 10:35:08
What's everyone's else thoughts on taking a punt on kobbie mainoo, was an up and coming star at one point, I personally think he could be a good fit for us.

{Ed025's Note - im not sure on Kobbie Pasty, he has really regressed and does not seem to have the best attitude mate..

08 Dec 2025 12:40:52
Personally, I think most of his issues can be blamed at Amorim. I reckon he would be quality for us, but we'd be about 20th in the queue for him.

More likely he'll go to Napoli or somewhere and absolutely fly out there.

{Ed025's Note - you could well be right Alex..

08 Dec 2025 16:42:30
I liked the lad when he first turned up. Maybe a combination of different managers has had an adverse effect on him. I mean just look at KDH, I know a few on here we’re not keen on his signing at first. Mainoo could become another KDH and a long term replacement for Gana.

08 Dec 2025 17:39:52
Different club different attitudes, would go for him.

08 Dec 2025 17:40:49
Yeah takes longer by ferry and train.

08 Dec 2025 17:48:42
Not for us. As for KDH, personally always liked him, I must have missed the posts from those not keen. Of those I knew/know nothing about, Dibling stands out, I fear that even when Ndiaye goes to Afcon Dibling will still be second choice to McNeil.

Watched McNeil, it was like treading water compared to the rest, slowed the game down. He didn't do much wrong, perhaps that is what Moyes sees.

08 Dec 2025 19:02:48
McNeil sits back and supports the fullback, but his lack of pace limits him going forward.
Obviously you missed the comments about him not being good enough for Chelsea and would be too much of a gamble etc.


Can’t comment on Dibling because I’ve hardly seen the lad play in blue. Though from what I’ve seen from highlights from his Southampton days the lad has a lot of ability and likes to run at defences.

Well done all round - manager including. Couldn’t knock anyone - good times!

07 Dec 2025 20:13:34
How times change a couple of weeks ago when we got beaten by Newcastle, any mention that we might possibly beat either Chelsea or Arsenal was looked on by a couple as absolute madness, some now are saying on here we can beat one or the other and draw maybe even maybe 4 points well how about all 6 points just imagine the commentators, times are a changing COYB.

07 Dec 2025 21:22:40
Not getting carried away.

08 Dec 2025 07:26:59
If we cam lose 1-4 at home to Newcastle then we can lose to both of these, I'd be happy with 3point s against Chelsea not sure we will get much out of arsenal.

08 Dec 2025 17:47:06
We never win at Chelsea and Arsenal will be just as tough. Not expecting anything tbh. But then I expected nothing at Old Trafford lol.

{Ed025's Note - Chelsea have not been great lately Ace and i really believe we could get a result there, Arsenal i expect to be really tough but we are at home mate so im not ruling out us getting something there either..

07 Dec 2025 19:07:01
Wonder if Dyche has changed the story yet.

07 Dec 2025 19:01:51
That is the side that should continue I bet though Alcaraz will be benched so Gueye can come in.

07 Dec 2025 20:32:28
Good shout that, but I might be tempted to play Gueye in place of Garner against Chelsea to ensure Garner is available for the Arsenal game. He's just 1 booking away from a suspension.
Tough call though.

07 Dec 2025 21:23:12
Good call.

08 Dec 2025 14:02:16
No think we have more chance of beating Chelsea than Arsenal. I would move him back to right back for the Chelsea game, he’s pretty strong there.

{Ed025's Note - im with you BMD..

Would have thought better from Sean Dyche yesterday, griping about our finances then moaning about Tarks and then the ref was to blame, sour grapes.

{Ed025's Note - absolutely GB..

07 Dec 2025 13:13:27
Yeah, not sure the joke about finances was well judged. Anyway, we sent him away with his tail between his legs so all good as far as I’m concerned.

07 Dec 2025 14:19:55
Agree sour grapes.

07 Dec 2025 14:21:14
The whiny tw@t always tried to blame others for his shortcomings. I never expected anything less from his interview.

07 Dec 2025 16:48:35
I agree comet he done a great job keeping us up during bad times an fair play but the wining and the blame absolutely annoys me his tactics was poor during his time the ffp an finance's was always his excuse let's not forgot moshiri was awol at the time Jake obrien wasn't premier league ready according to him which now is laughable got a mate of mine whose a forest fan told him youse have a good team but he will not play the style that youse would like but look he's moved on we have certainly moved on been taking over by a chairman who actually cares an not listen to 3rd party advisors we are currently 5th an we have a cracking stadium UTFT.

07 Dec 2025 17:50:21
I never got why he blamed points deduction, all the ownership stuff, and finances when his job was to win games and get points. Stuff everything else. But it was always his go to when summerising a defeat.

07 Dec 2025 18:54:26
Moyes got a far better tune out of the same squad after January.

07 Dec 2025 22:04:49
Totally agree JB.

07 Dec 2025 12:45:11
Young Harrison came on with 20mins to go and scored the equaliser. PNE fans already saying he's to good for that league. Hopefully see a lot more of him in a blue shirt next season.

07 Dec 2025 12:49:46
Been saying that for ages get him on our bench.

07 Dec 2025 13:13:47
I'd bring him back in January if there is a clause in the contract to do so mate. We're going to need some reinforcements in the midfield and that would save us some money in the market to spend on full backs and forwards.

07 Dec 2025 13:14:33
Feels like the right decision to let him go on loan though, he’ll come back with more experience at a good level and with confidence, great addition to boost the squad when we’re in Europe next year.

07 Dec 2025 15:33:28
I think we are going to have a cracking player in young Armstrong I think he could be special.

07 Dec 2025 15:43:20
Sorry GB, why bring him back? Let him play a lot of football this season and develop. Or sit on the bench here? Gana, Garner, Tim, Dewsbury-hall, Alcaraz Rohl would be competing for a place with him. He has a great chance to grow as a player and a man.

07 Dec 2025 16:36:09
I know mate not sure if we can recall him anyway.

07 Dec 2025 12:18:53
Well two difficult games ahead of us. Chelsea away and Arsenal at home. I see no reason why we cannot at least pick up a draw at Chelsea. They lost against Leeds and drew with Bournemouth. The also have a Champions League game on Tuesday. We also will have Ndiaye and Gueye available.


Arsenal can also be beaten as Villa showed yesterday, but with a weakened side this game will be much more difficult. A draw would be a great result. So I will go for four points, a win at Chelsea and a draw at home to Arsenal. Am I sounding more like GB every day?

{Ed025's Note - absolutely Mike.. :)

07 Dec 2025 12:41:19
Hi mate yep that’s the spirit we have a good Team spirit going on at the moment and the lads are playing well, these so called top teams will not relish playing us at all, bring it on with these next two then lots of very winnable games coming up.

07 Dec 2025 13:15:11
Have to go for it, take it to them. We won’t win every game, but we’re definitely on the right track.

07 Dec 2025 14:46:32
Said anyone give me two draws for those games rip their arm off. Two superb sides, we are not quite there yet. May get to Arsenal game but may be better staying away, we don't have a good record watching them.

07 Dec 2025 15:28:54
Think two points out of these games would be huge. However Chelsea playing in Europe so you never know could Nick that one. But would be happy with two from both.

07 Dec 2025 16:37:03
Chelsea are also very poor lately.

07 Dec 2025 19:03:42
Really.

07 Dec 2025 19:22:00
I disagree Mike. I think it’ll be a draw at Chelsea and 3 points against Arsenal… one can dream of fortress BMD.

However, I’d take 2 points then beating Burnley, Brentford, Forest and Wolves! We could be safe by the end of Jan… imagine that….
