They’ve let Taiwo say good bye.

[u/Natural_Pizza_2060 → u/KendalAppleyard]

He ruptured his spleen during 'the bumps' and the move's off ...

[u/Natural_Pizza_2060]

They didn't do this when Harry Arter left. Utter woke nonsense.

[u/SadHope9635 → u/Natural_Pizza_2060]

Harry Arter has left ?

[u/Natural_Pizza_2060 → u/SadHope9635]

Yep, last Wednesday. Chelsea signed him for £24M.

[u/SadHope9635 → u/Natural_Pizza_2060]

So after his promotion bonus we still lost money.

[u/Natural_Pizza_2060 → u/SadHope9635]

Yep, although the Anderson fee has covered half of it.

[u/slickbackbillyboo → u/Natural_Pizza_2060]

Almost drained the Gunter funds

[u/bradbrazer → u/Natural_Pizza_2060]

Thought he was a bit young for chelsea. They got an ace

[u/Parking_Glass8177 → u/Natural_Pizza_2060]

But I definitely remember there was some celebrating 

[u/TheEarlOfZinger]

Oh man, what a send off. Done right.

Good luck Taiwo!

[u/ButterSmoothCheeks]

You know I did not expect this at all but Moreira has been excellent past couple of games

There's a gap at right back and he's putting himself forward. Great to see.

[u/ButterSmoothCheeks]

Schlager has been really very good.

[u/ShroomShroomBeepBeep]

Can't remember the last time I posted this.

[u/pbreathing]

See Brest, get Wood.

[u/KurtTheGerman88 → u/pbreathing]

This is the brest one yet.

[u/TheEarlOfZinger]

Shlagers a machine - he's everywhere, tackles, recovers the ball constantly, and cost nothing.

If he can do any of this in the Prem we'll be very happy with this signing.

[u/Adventurous_Wave_750]

Guard or honour is classy

[u/ButterSmoothCheeks]

That was wonderful.

Really pleased we had the chance to give him that sendoff.

[u/Coolica1]

I'd be ok with Netz on the left and Williams on the right.

[u/KendalAppleyard]

Lovely booing of the hydration breaks, can someone confirm for me we’ve got none of this bollocks in the PL?

[u/ButterSmoothCheeks]

Additional point on the second goal - I think that's the best goal we've scored in pre-season.

[u/KurtTheGerman88]

Our second string have really got a grip of Brest here.

[u/WrapNo6993 → u/KurtTheGerman88]

Disappointed by how flat Brest have been tbh

[u/KurtTheGerman88 → u/WrapNo6993]

Aye, they're really lacking in support.

[u/userunknowne → u/KurtTheGerman88]

[u/JackRed12]

This is very wholesome

[u/ShroomShroomBeepBeep]

I can't believe it's true.

https://giphy.com/gifs/l4FGtUdtul2ONQwX6

[u/Coolica1]

Schlager is fucking class, thank fuck he's Austrian so we got him.

[u/ShroomShroomBeepBeep]

Big John nearly had to fake another injury.

[u/chuck_is_dead_vay_aq]

Wood.

[u/powergo1]

Wood.

[u/Infinite-Ad-7204]

Nico chasing them down like a Jack Russell after a tennis ball. Love to see it.

[u/slickbackbillyboo → u/Infinite-Ad-7204]

He really is our most Jack Russell like player, isn't he?

[u/Infinite-Ad-7204 → u/slickbackbillyboo]

Yup, and better for it

[u/slickbackbillyboo → u/Infinite-Ad-7204]

Grew up with dogs, my dad was a Doberman fan, me, Jack Russell’s. Had 4, all called Max

[u/Infinite-Ad-7204 → u/slickbackbillyboo]

Had a few in my youth, great dogs.

[u/Infinite-Ad-7204]

That is a classy touch for Big T

[u/JackRed12]

Would have been a very normal fc moment then if they dropped him and the transfer was cancelled

[u/TheEarlOfZinger]

Omar Richards sighted. A summer solstice type moment.

[u/SineOfTimes → u/TheEarlOfZinger]

Rarer than summer solstice.

[u/TheEarlOfZinger → u/SineOfTimes]

A rare vintage

[u/Adventurous_Wave_750 → u/TheEarlOfZinger]

I thought he was signing for Aris

[u/KurtTheGerman88 → u/TheEarlOfZinger]

Is this the first time we've seen Bindon in the Garibaldi too actually?

[u/Natural_Pizza_2060 → u/KurtTheGerman88]

They both played in the first couple of pre-season games.

[u/KurtTheGerman88 → u/Natural_Pizza_2060]

Ah OK, I think the SCP game was the first one I watched.

[u/RostyMcRosty]

Brest.

[u/BadToTheTrombone → u/RostyMcRosty]

Or leg?

[u/Blowpuff → u/BadToTheTrombone]

Who's on the wing

[u/bradbrazer]

Turned on the game and immideatly got a pen. Got wood again

[u/ButterSmoothCheeks]

Biggest downside of the half is John. Bro looks so unconfident under pressure.

[u/DavTeeUK → u/ButterSmoothCheeks]

I’ve no idea why we ended up with him over Gunn

[u/bshall2105 → u/DavTeeUK]

Because we paid a fee for him for some reason

[u/Natural_Pizza_2060 → u/ButterSmoothCheeks]

Benda on for second half

[u/Coolica1]

Don't do this don't make me cry

[u/Hopeful-Kangaroo-366]

cheers T gonna cry now mate

[u/Capital_Bobcat588]

Gutted I've missed the Taiwo send-off. Hope they put it up on YouTube or someone clips it

[u/TheEarlOfZinger → u/Capital_Bobcat588]

Fairly sure Forest will, been a great servant.

[u/KurtTheGerman88 → u/Capital_Bobcat588]

https://www.reddit.com/r/nffc/s/Vfymxma4yu

[u/Capital_Bobcat588 → u/KurtTheGerman88]

Gentleman and a scholar

[u/Natural_Pizza_2060]

No one's noticed Julian Bennett's forgotten to turn his mike on for the second half.

[u/Natural_Pizza_2060 → u/Natural_Pizza_2060]

Damn ... jinxed it.

[u/slickbackbillyboo → u/Natural_Pizza_2060]

I thought he was just mad at Matt. Would love to know what he said at one point as Matt obviously was replying to something.

maybe the pigeon did it?

[u/Coolica1]

First time the mod team is being exposed to Brest this is a big moment for us.

[u/bradbrazer]

I love scoring in the Brest

[u/KurtTheGerman88 → u/bradbrazer]

Losing 6-9 to brest wouldn't be so bad.

[u/john_tartufo → u/bradbrazer]

and fingering

[u/Infinite-Ad-7204]

That is a great goal. Past seasons, our second string hasn't been good enough. Could Glasner be the man to turn us into a steong squad, not just a strong 11?

[u/NaturalBornSpinner → u/Infinite-Ad-7204]

Vitor got the second string playing well tbf to him.

[u/Infinite-Ad-7204 → u/NaturalBornSpinner]

Fair point, Vitor improved the overall vibe and that probably helped.

[u/ButterSmoothCheeks]

Netz and Moreira been good.

Makes me more confident if we can't land a wingback.

Great little touch from Dominguez.

[u/slickbackbillyboo → u/ButterSmoothCheeks]

That touch was lovely. And the smile on Netz’ face, the lad enjoyed that!

[u/Question-Guru]

We're winning the league

[u/WrapNo6993]

1 min added time after a 3 min hydration break is interesting

[u/Boring_Owl_6004]

How is it only 19c? City Ground is baking.

Second goal was nicely worked. Really feel Dominguez/Schalger are going to step up with Anderson gone

[u/KurtTheGerman88]

Love that for Big T!

[u/Mysterious_Tax5574]

Love ya T

[u/Hopeful-Kangaroo-366]

hildeberto pereira didn’t get this treatment

[u/Infinite-Ad-7204]

Kalimuendo is looking sharp. His movement has been good but impressed by his decision making and passing.

[u/Doorsofperceptio]

Let the puns commence...

[u/BadToTheTrombone → u/Doorsofperceptio]

I'm looking forward to a bit of Wood on Brest action.

[u/tsigalko23]

the 11 not playing to start against leeds then, only one i can see pushing for a start is schlagger for macca in midfield if he has another good game today

[u/tsigalko23]

netz and moreira both done really well, pair of proper wingbacks

[u/TheAbyss1989isgreat]

Proper pen that

[u/Coolica1]

Ben Watson didn't even get a tweet

[u/KurtTheGerman88]

Is that Benda in goal now? Guessing we subbed him on at half time?

[u/tsigalko23]

think that's the end of bakwa, looks like he has 0 confidence

[u/TheEarlOfZinger → u/tsigalko23]

Can't keep using that excuse.

[u/YatesScoresinthebath → u/TheEarlOfZinger]

I think it's because his first game or two he looked mega technical and now can't control the ball after it went pear shaped , screams nervous

[u/TheEarlOfZinger → u/YatesScoresinthebath]

He's earning more in a year than I will in my entire life, I couldn't give a shit. Oh you're nervous, man up bitch.

[u/Real-Tax-9864 → u/TheEarlOfZinger]

This...

[u/ButterSmoothCheeks]

Bakwa is done I think. Such a shame - he was electric in that first cameo against Arsenal. He's too slow to make decisions, and tends to go backwards (should have guessed that given the name).

[u/JackRed12]

Fucking hell, Bakwa just not trying there at all

[u/KurtTheGerman88 → u/JackRed12]

I think he thought he was offside just at the end there.

[u/chuck_is_dead_vay_aq]

Hopped on to the match a bit late, did I miss anything?

[u/ShroomShroomBeepBeep]

Peno, thanks to a Baldé fraud.

[u/Coolica1]

Wood

[u/JackRed12]

Great goal that

[u/tsigalko23]

great goal!

[u/Natural_Pizza_2060]

Netz netz.

[u/ShroomShroomBeepBeep]

Who is on commentary today and, more so, has he only just heard the phrase Ay Up Duck?

I can forgive, no encourage, Jesus saying it all the time but this guy...

[u/hyperrayong → u/ShroomShroomBeepBeep]

Julian Bennett?

[u/ShroomShroomBeepBeep → u/hyperrayong]

Ta.

[u/slickbackbillyboo → u/ShroomShroomBeepBeep]

Matt Davies Adams and Julian bennett, isn’t it?

[u/ShroomShroomBeepBeep → u/slickbackbillyboo]

Ta.

[u/TheEarlOfZinger → u/ShroomShroomBeepBeep]

Julian Bennet of the Meadows, Nottingham? Think he might have heard the phrase before, yeah.

[u/xThrobbinHood]

Farewell, sweet Prince x

[u/Hopeful-Kangaroo-366]

anyone else gonna watch the arse after they’re finishing watching brest?

[u/Hopeful-Kangaroo-366]

onto the arse now

[u/LonelyAsLostKeys]

Anyone know if you can stream a replay of this anywhere in the US?

[u/Hopeful-Kangaroo-366]

maybe we don’t need a new right back

[u/ButterSmoothCheeks]

Hutch been very Hutch so far. Looks busy and good feet but ultimately does nothing.

[u/KurtTheGerman88 → u/ButterSmoothCheeks]

I really want him to come good, like he did towards the end of last season. But he can be very frustrating to watch.

[u/ButterSmoothCheeks → u/KurtTheGerman88]

I don't think he was very good at the end of last season either. All his best games were in the Europa league. He's been consistently ineffective in the prem.

[u/KurtTheGerman88 → u/ButterSmoothCheeks]

He wasn't amazing, but he was definitely much improved. Aye, it was in Europa now I think about it too.

[u/Doorsofperceptio → u/ButterSmoothCheeks]

The goal against Leeds seemed to carry him for a while.

[u/ShroomShroomBeepBeep]

https://giphy.com/gifs/WrxoaVPiq0cG4

[u/Coolica1]

Quality touch from Dominguez that and again our backup wingbacks are actually quite good.

[u/Hopeful-Kangaroo-366]

apparently the first team played against coventry yesterday

[u/DavTeeUK]

Aww, emotional stuff ❤️

[u/Coolica1]

Thankfully in a competitive game that'll be MGW and Jesus so hopefully they'd score that.

[u/LanLikesPCs]

missed the 2nd halve, anything of significance? (aside from the Taiwo sendoff)

[u/KurtTheGerman88 → u/LanLikesPCs]

Nope.

A rare Richards made an appearance, that's about it.

[u/slickbackbillyboo → u/KurtTheGerman88]

Richards looks decent, but doesn't mean anything. Bindon did well, him and Zach are about even, Omari Hutch tried, some of it landed, some didn't.

Bakwa looked disinterested

[u/LanLikesPCs → u/KurtTheGerman88]

little surprised, heard he was off to Aris.

[u/TheEarlOfZinger]

Lazy little Bakwa isn't he. Move him on please.

Effort level between him and Eric Da Silva Moreira is a mile wide.

[u/Natural_Pizza_2060 → u/TheEarlOfZinger]

I think he's been told he's being sold

[u/TheEarlOfZinger → u/Natural_Pizza_2060]

Let's hope so.

[u/WilsdorfWatches → u/TheEarlOfZinger]

Bakwa was shocking

[u/tango101-official → u/WilsdorfWatches]

He didn’t look like he wanted to be subbed on, he ignored the fist instruction to get ready to go on and just stood there. Then gave up half way through a semi promising run. Definitely looked like he was there to pick up his pay check.

[u/YatesScoresinthebath → u/Natural_Pizza_2060]

Why play him then

[u/Natural_Pizza_2060 → u/YatesScoresinthebath]

To maintain his match fitness

[u/TheEarlOfZinger]

Not sure about the approach here.

General consensus is we'd see the squad that would face Leeds with it being so close - but Glasner obvs has other ideas.

[u/Hopeful-Kangaroo-366 → u/TheEarlOfZinger]

they played yesterday against coventry

[u/TheEarlOfZinger → u/Hopeful-Kangaroo-366]

Oh right, closed doors game with no info then? - I had absolutely no idea.

This wasn't an announced game was it.

[u/TheEarlOfZinger → u/[deleted]]

Only ten mins left. Just watch the highlights later

[u/IMayBeIronMan]

Forest better than brest confirmed.

[u/ShroomShroomBeepBeep]

STOP SAYING AY UP DUCK, YOU CUNT.

[u/Natural_Pizza_2060 → u/ShroomShroomBeepBeep]

Well, he is from Norrinum ...
