Right, apologies for those who have no interest, but after a year's enforced hiatus, it's time for the return of my annual #NUFC #FM26 🧵

It starts (as always) with an awful shot of my new avatar. My buzzcut and seethrough specs don't really lend themselves to the character creation options.
I bought Kenan Yıldız on #fm26 and boy was that a fun thing to do.

A selling point for VAR… #nufc
"Should be good this, there's no VAR today"

Love how that's a selling point #NUFC

Why not simply beat low blocks each week with a thunderbastard?

Makes you think.

Full-time: #AVFC 1-3 #NUFC

Even with baffling decisions going against them, #NUFC find a way to make it back-to-back away wins & only a 5th on road this season.

3 shots on target, 3 goals, but huge #FACup triumph & #NUFC advance.

56 games mininmum now across 25-26.

Heh. They all count the same. Torres with the assist for big Nick there as the toon fans sing “cheerio” to the departing Villa fans. #nufc

Sannnnddddyyyyyyy.

I really shout at the telly, but a “f*** you ref” came out of my gob.

Amazing hit. Stepping up while Bruno is out. #nufc
2-1! Tonali with a screamer!

Wasn’t even a difficult decision. So far inside the box. Shocking

Fuck me. VAR is so much better than this. #nufc

Really tests your blood pressure having to accept both of these decisions inside a week. #NUFC

Bizot red card. Wipes out Murphy when #NUFC are clear through on goal, breaking in numbers from an #AVFC corner.

So that should be Red too. Not been the offside or pen incident. VAR isn’t perfect but it’s fairer #nufc

I might miss the start of the game due, but if it is indeed 4231 again that - to me - is cool.

For crapness of the Brentford result, we actually did well for that second half as we chased the game. Interested in seeing it in a less emotionally charged game state. #nufc

Early soundings are that Yoane Wissa misses out due to a "knock" & that Sven Botman is rested, but waiting for Eddie Howe to do his pre-match interviews.

⛅ Something bordering upon sunshine at Villa Park, which is a novelty. It's actually not raining. 😱

⚫⚪ #NUFC take on #AVFC in the #FACup 4th round, looking to advance in a competition they can realistically win (but do they want extra games?). 🏆
