Saw this on LinkedIn from some sad mackem: What do you know, the whole thing is about Newcastle and based on a Newcastle song sad fucking freaks. Hope they get dicked tomorrow.

Nah, can’t see it.

Manchester United’s total debt, including around £300M owing on transfers, is now in excess of £1BN. Although the club is set to generate up to £160M this year from day-to-day activities, it means there will still be a 6th consecutive year of losses = £450M. (MailSport)

Did he get banned in the end or was that a fever dream?

Disagree personally, we’ve already progressed without selling our best players. We’ve gone from relegation threatened to CL and we’re about 48 hours away from potential CL football again. We’re going to have a quality amount of money to spend this summer window. There’s absolutely no need for us to sell from a “progressing as a club” perspective. The idea that we could use this money to find two Tino’s is extremely fanciful. We could easily spend it all and end up further behind where we are now

I did, but some makem player I’ve never heard of has cut his head off

Why do you think they’ll play like that? I can see the total opposite happening. They’ll all have their holidays booked for Monday morning, they can’t move in the table, players injured, a SJP absolutely rampant along with players coming at them 100 miles an hour. I imagine they’d rather be anywhere else than SJP on Sunday. Suppose we’ll find out.

It's not a criticism of us, we've had an amazing season. I would much rather have our season than the one Spurs have had. But it just feels wrong that they could end up in the CL despite being more in danger of relegation than qualifying through performance.

Bloody hell. Now that is freak behaviour.

Match is now advertised on Premier Sports 1 on Sky , Channel 412( not sure if just Ireland only)

eh do you know Sam Fender?

Wouldn't really mind either outcome tomorrow, I can see why people would want nothing but misery for them based on some of the posts shared in here from RTG and social media, however I'm not sure either of those places are an entirely fair representation of their fans. For me the derby day dread/anticipation does add something to the football season; albeit not as much as in previous years, as it's certainly been replaced by the anticipation of the high stakes games we play nowadays challenging at the top end of the league. Actually, I foresee us having to play them away in an early Saturday kick-off after playing Real Madrid away on the Wednesday and I'd rather not.

It makes sense when you have a series of unequal tournaments. It's basically a winner take all promotion system. And the CL winner gets the biggest bag of money, access to the CL, UEFA Super Cup, and now also the Club World Cup.

He's very good but that's an insane fee. He's young and he could be there for years but that's got to be a risk going for that big a fee

Not that I’m aware of And actually I played against him on FIFA and he was Sunderland and I was Newcastle. True story

Grew up in the infamous south London cages. It shows in his play

Isak the best/worst example of this. Early on. Fans and the media were making out like £70-80m would be enough

Eddie Koeman and the invisible PL trophy

Oh cool.

Thanks for the insight.

The only reason we are talking about this is because supposedly City like him. I'm sure they do, but that doesn't mean he wants to go, or that we will agree to sell him unless it's for outrageous money.

This is how we grow as a club. Hard to stomach but it's the stark reality. We have to grow our overall squad value by buying low and selling high. You can't just keep adding top quality players every summer, that's not how it works unless you're Real Madrid with few exceptions. If he goes for a decent fee, job done, we reinvest with hopefully money to get 2 future Tinos. If he stays, we reap the rewards of a player with huge potential and his value is only going to go up you'd think. It's not an exact science and it won't always work, but it's pretty much the only way we can catch up. No emotion either way on this one, I don't think we're going to be taken for mugs, the sale of Kelly has given me confidence in how we're going to manage the departures and the business side of transfers going forwards.

Aye @Andy out iyam. Woke nonsense this.

Not sure it obviously makes sense for a tournament winner to get access to the competition above it. I think it makes more sense for the winner to gain access to the same competition in order to defend their title without having to re-qualify. Also for the CL, there is no tournament above it, so the CL winner has to just get access to the CL again, and then the Europa winner does too, it's kind of asymmetrical.
