When he's played off the left he's reminded me of early Gordon. But I've made the Almiron comparison too, just because he looks a little lost up front.

I've slept on it and after careful consideration I've concluded that we're shit. #NUFC

Also, Fernandez-Pardo is not a striker, let's end that now. #NUFC

We look soft in defence, open in midfield and toothless up front. Always going to be some rough results this season but these last 2 away results have been awful. Worrying. #NUFC

4-1 loss at Leeds and 4-1 at Coventry is very fucking worrying. #NUFC

Has there been a rule change where these close ones aren't allowed to play out anymore? There's been at least 3 so far where the game would have normally been allowed to carry on but the ref has flagged every time. Is he a EFL ref who isn't used to VAR? #NUFC

This linesman's definitely got a new flag for his birthday, FFS. #NUFC

Really interested to see the team sheet for tonight since a few injuries have cleared up. Either way the bench should be looking a lot healthier. #NUFC

Supporters should be allowed to support their team. Didn't think this needed to be said.

It's still an integrity issue. We're essentially saying there's a huge asterisk against the league for the last 10-15 years now because of the impact of City over that period.

To the advantage of >£900m more being pumped into the club than should have been available to them. I think the rules need to be torn up and start again but they were the rules at the time and City thought they didn't apply to them.

A points deduction that guarantees relegation is disproportionate to what they've done over such an extended period of time. They've not just broken the rules, they've basically said they don't apply to them and lied repeatedly. They should be expelled and made to apply for league status again.

I'm sure it's applied across all owners regardless of when they assumed ownership. I take your point but it's the semantics of how it's worded in relation to the initial test, i.e. prospective owners take the test then are subject to ongoing annual checks (along with all other existing owners).

Keith Maloney @maloneyk85.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
I read that as prospective owners are assessed as part of the initial check but then annual due diligence will be conducted on existing club directors.

I think it's a recurring check these days, which is why I was wondering what will happen.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but does this City ruling have any impact on the ownership there? I'm sure the fit and proper rules have something that covers breaking regulations within PL so would they be forced to sell potentially?

Totally agree with that. Any punishment should be applied moving forward otherwise it loses impact and is just a case of updating the records.

Aye fair point. I'll accept immediate demotion to league two instead then. 🤣

Nah I reckon we'll see something completely different here tbh. Different rules broken and Chelsea were complying with the PL. I'm surprised they've gone with 114 but now they have I don't see anything but a huge points deduction, or demotion through the leagues (unless the appeal is successful).

Everton were deducted 8 points (in total) for 2 charges. For consistency I'd assume a points deduction of 456.

Might be wrong, but I got the impression it was because we've moved to a more data driven recruitment model and he has been given full autonomy at Wrexham.

If there's a negative to dwell upon, write about and charge people to read, Craig Hope will find it. This team is learning on the job. I think the majority of us are just pleased we got the win, despite the current injury situation and we showed resilience on the back of Monday. #NUFC

You do realise that reposting this stuff is the type of engagement they're after though, right? Totally agree with the sentiment of what you're saying but generally I only see chronicle stuff when you're posting onto the #.

Would hardly consider the 5th game of the season against an unbeaten team "must win". The result will shape the narrative during the international break though, as they tend to do. Win and the start of the season has been good, lose and it doesn't look like the best.

Yeah I totally get that. I think there was more of a plan/patterns of play in the first 2 games where we were set up for countering but that has been missing in the last couple where we've been expected to be more in control.

Keith Maloney @maloneyk85.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
I see and understand the concerns. Our plan of how we're trying to play isn't clear yet but there's been quite a bit of mitigation (especially for Monday where we had several things go against us before and during the game).

Keith Maloney @maloneyk85.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
I get that but I'm also in the very early days camp. Lots of new, young players come with an adjustment period and throw the new manager on top it's going to take a lot of time. The last 2 PL games have been against very settled teams that know what they are trying to do and we're not there yet.

I remember a few weeks ago where it seemed everyone was in agreement that this was going to be a rough, transitional season with ups and downs. We've had one bad result (with some poor performances I'll accept) and suddenly the sky is falling in. #NUFC

Young team that got bullied all over for the first 60-70 mins. Sadly we'll see a bit of that this season. Some bad luck along the way which clearly killed any confidence. Huge response needed on Saturday #NUFC

For those unclear, Dorgu's outstretched leg was playing Haaland onside. Question was whether Enzo was interfering (which I thought he was tbh but this was funnier)
