King certainly. Quality defender.

One of my favourite ever non-Newcastle players, despite the fact that he always destroyed us.

"The Saudi takeover of NUFC no longer exists as a going concern. Ashley is pursuing damages on the grounds of restraint of trade. No-one should give a shit whether he gets what he wants on that front." IMTTS said no. Think this statement proves he is, as suspected, full of shit. He wont be seen round these parts for a while. He'll double-down, don't worry about that.

Excellent news that all sides are still pushing for the takeover. Depressing news that it's obvious the PL are still determined to prevent it.

Quote from the Premier League:

This is huge in the sense that it's going to be made public though, although I don't see it helping the actual takeover happen.

All Saudi has to do is reinstate BeIN and we can all get on with our lives And settle a couple of massive court cases. And pay a shed load of compensation. Otherwise, yay.

Arbitration being headed up by someone who basically works hand in hand with the premier league? It's maybe not the killer blow but the knife is pretty deep right now.

How I read it too. Couldn't make it up

I think whoever signs Haaland are likely to be favourites (between City and Chelsea I mean). I guess if Man United buy him and Sancho, and a better keeper and centreback they might challenge too.

Even samptime29[/member] has seen the light this season. I doubt there are many left, and if they are it's just them refusing to admit they were wrong.

Atsu at right back. Sorted.

Ashley Cole was MILES better than Robertson. Evra was better than him too. Robertson's at Baines/Bridge levels for me. Impressive stats but can look absolutely bang average.

Robertson? Robertson? Really? ROBERTSON?

I'm sure it'll be closer but Man City look on a different planet to everyone else.

Not a chance unless Man City form a breakaway league on their own.

Lampard got £2m by comparison.

How about favourite (not best) non-Newcastle 11?

Robinho? Boateng? Di Maria?

Hatem

KDB?

I’d have Bergkamp in instead of Henry but it’s close. Lampard in for Scholes too.

What?

Just need a Liverpool loss and that's a great night of football.

Spurs have been awful since half time
