Edit: Oh, Giggs, sorry

Skim frothy scum off the top of all the domestic leagues, put them in a cringy plastic wankfest nobody cares about, then everyone reverts to watching actual grudge matches between clubs where nobody's got over a shit someone took in a dressing room 8 years ago.

I hope he's given a gypsy curse where it always feels like there's a hair in his mouth even when there's not.

I hope he steps on a lego.

Meslier's voice does not match his face

Nothing says you're definitely an actual toon fan and not a mackem on the windup than adding "the toon fan" after your name.

Probably a better use of your time than watching our matches, don't blame you.

There were some complaints about shoddy sweatshirts etc, but the problem with the kits seemed to be some people were accidentally sent the yet-to-be-released "pro" version, which was to be identical to match-worn, and so people were comparing their tops to their mate and feeling like they'd got a shoddy batch.

Iranian state TV channel cut away from live coverage of Tottenham v Manchester United more than A HUNDRED times 'to avoid showing the bare legs of the female assistant referee' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9470453/Iranian-state-TV-cut-away-Tottenham-vs-Manchester-United-100-times-female-referee.html

Don't accept this idea Ashley wouldn't lie about the store closures being due to what the "new owners" want. If he can convince staff it's not his decision then they're not going to eb able to argue about it or take legal action.

Missed this at the time, but one of Grimsby's players was sent off for headbutting a teammate as they walked off for half time at the weekend

OK, firstly please be civil to each other, even if someone's not being optimistic in an optimistic thread. Away Mag's getting a warning - but not a suspension - for that post that was rightly pointed out as being pretty uncivil. All I can suggest is if you're not of the optimistic persuasion but still read this thread, if someone posts a tweet or a comment that you want to reply to and say it's meaningless nonsnse born out of deluded blind optimism, or teasing of fans for the sake of twitter engagement, copy it into the normal takeover thread and discuss it there as depressingly/realistically as you want.

Talk on the Facebook comments is that his wife made some complaint about the treatment of the young'uns - including their own son - stuff about bullying or bad medical/health advice, and as a result he was placed on leave. As usually with Facebook comments, may be entirely made up.

A former Premier League match official tells The Independent referees dislike VAR as much as players and fans, following another weekend of confusion and controversy https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/tottenham/var-son-heung-min-manchester-united-b1829884.html?utm_content=Echobox&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook#Echobox=1618215879

If it's a good idea but based on the assumption fans will be on board, but fans think it's a waste of time, it's a bad idea unfortunately.

I swear I didn't know that's what it would actually be

Got my email asking me to renew my membership yesterday, good timing for them between them announcing they were going to announce something and them revealing what it is. As I signed up when they made it a quid and thought I might as well, I imagine most of their memberships are running out at exactly the same time... .Nobidy is really expecting anything of any actual consequence are they? Not even the usually deranged #nufc twitter are getting excited. I think the most radical thing I'd expect from our mild mannered Trust is that they're going to 'back' the idea of fan ownership, without any means of actually making it happen.

I put 3 quid on and it's paid out 50 quid cos the Gundogan part was voided.

Gundo benched unfortunately

Spurs to win both halves and have most corners in each half at 25/1 seems like free money.

Someone do the April Fool of the takeover being completed and get it out the way pls.
