  1. Skybet have. I've been paid out £20 already.
  2. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-grealish-cash-newcastle-20045418 Grealish, Cash, Watkins, Traore & El Ghazi all missed training today according to this.
  3. Better than Loic for me, better attitude and more likeable. Seems to enjoy himself. Demba on top, of course. Remy was such a weird player. Had so much ability but just seems to have been forgotten as a PL player, not even sure if he achieved that much in France considering how highly regarded he was at one point. I never really trusted him after he turned us down to go to QPR, and think that will always colour my view of him. Just seemed to lack any real ambition. So weird he chose QPR given he genuinely had a team full of French lads who could help him settle, not saying they would have all been mates mind you. Feel like I read they heavily recruited him too. He probably was sold the same pitch - sign for QPR or Newcastle with the view that you will leave within a year or two to a bigger club. So he chose the money and London over Newcastle. Me & my son were talking about this yesterday. I definitely recall reading, at the time, that he'd agreed to join us. Redknapp then went to France to try and change his mind and get him to sign for QPR. He was, apparently, offered 10k, 20k, then 30k more, all of which he declined, before being offered double what we were offering him, supposedly 80k, and a get out of jail free card, free to leave if they got relegated.
  4. I watched a few videos on youtube, purely because I know very little about him and can't ever recall seeing him play. He certainly looks like what you have described above. Box to box, can press, tackle, pass, likes to run with the ball, etc. The goal he scored against Liverpool reminded me a bit of the one Hamman scored for us against against Juve.
  5. RLC for NUFC ? Unconfirmed reports circulating on Saturday night claimed that Newcastle were looking to secure a loan deal for Chelsea's Ruben Loftus-Cheek. The 24 year-old England international midfielder is predicted to make a temporary departure from Stamford Bridge in the coming days. Playing just 61 competitive minutes so far this season for Chelsea, London-born Loftus-Cheek last scored a Premier League goal in May 2019.
  6. I'm exactly the same. Watched very little football last season and I don't think I've ever seen this kid play. The only positive sign, in my eyes, is that the Premier league champions wanted to sign him. Yeah he'd have been back up to Robertson but Klopp must have seen something he liked in Lewis. I'd much rather we signed good prospects than some of the crap we're used to. Same with Wilson. Yeah he probably is better than what we have, doesn't take much, but I'd rather we signed Watkins, a young player on the up than one on the decline.
  7. He's definitely been no worse than Benteleb.
  8. If fans are still locked out will we see a repeat of the end of this season where every match is available to watch on tv ?
  9. Lived in Carlisle the majority of my life and every time Leeds played here their was agro. 30 odd years ago, walking through the town centre, in my teens, to meet my gf and I got a load of abuse of a group of their knob head lunatics, most of who were probably 40 plus. One of them decided to launch a pint glass at my head. Needless to say I've hated the fookers ever since.
  10. Are Chelsea playing in next seasons kit?
  11. Apparently Leicester want him to replace Chilwell.
  12. I signed up yesterday for bt sports large screen through ee. It was free for 3 months, think it's £15 a month after that. Got the xbox app which I'll be waiting games on rather than casting on the phone.
  13. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/kylian-mbappe-will-cost-40m-21892017 French-German politician Daniel Cohn-Bendit believes there will be massive changes to the transfer market when sport returns after the coronavirus outbreak subsides A former member of the European Parliament has predicted that football players will be worth a fraction of their former values due to the coronavirus pandemic. Daniel Cohn-Bendit, a member of French political party Europe Ecology - The Greens, believes superstars such as Kylian Mbappe could be worth as little as €40m (£35m) after the outbreak subsides. The Paris Saint-Germain star is arguably the most valuable player in world football and has been linked with a £250m move to Liverpool or Real Madrid. So, if Cohn-Bendit’s prediction is correct, Mbappe will be worth a staggering £215m less than this valuation, losing 86% of his value. And the French-German politician predicts further changes to the Beautiful Game, including the introduction of a salary cap “This crisis will clean up the irrationality of professional sport. It’s like there was a nuclear attack and it had to be rebuilt, but on other grounds,” Cohn-Bendit told French newspaper Ouest-France. “Tomorrow, Mbappe will cost at most €35-40m and no longer €200m. And who can buy him? “There will be de facto regulation. Going even further on a salary cap could be necessary. It is a reorganisation that goes not only through the players' salaries, but also through the right to images and publicity. “We have to break the system of managers, of those who do business.” Cohn-Bendit believes these sweeping changes would improve sport and help it return to its core values ahead of the Tokyo Olympics - which have been postponed until next summer - and the Paris games in 2024. “A little more sobriety is enough for me,” he added. “A little more sobriety and a little more equality would be a good start. Footballers will not play worse if they are paid less. “Whenever there is a referendum on the Olympic Games, people always say 'no'. Today, people watch the Olympics but don't want that at home. “It is necessary to rethink the gigantism of the Olympic Games and to return to more simplicity. How? I don’t know. It depends on us, the fans.”

  15. What's my name? I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that lol.
  16. Based on purely watching YouTube videos, both look better than Joelinton.
  17. Does any website show stats for tackles made & by who during the game? Got a bet on with sky but for some reason no player stats option for that game, man u vs psg, on the app in play.
  18. It's in dollars so it's roughly £30k
  19. Ssn breaking news that we've enquired about Mangala.
  20. Goes up to £20 on matchday. Thought it might. Cheers mate ?
  21. Does anyone know if it's a tenner on the door against Forest?
  22. If we don't go out and sign a proficient cam/no 10 I really hope Rafa doesn't stick with this formation. Would rather play 442 or 433 than rely on someone who's not good enough behind the lone striker.
