  1. Isn't that some bizarre half-loan half purchase deal as well? Who would we even buy him from, I don't even http://i.imgur.com/YEArG.jpg
  2. Needs to have a "Why Always Me?" t-shirt ready for the next time a camera pans to him.

    In what world do you live where a stadium name change correlates to the success of a football club? You already know the answer to that, don't you? If the club increases its income and it spends the money wisely, you increase the chances of success on the field. I worry about how naive you'd have to be to think this will increase our income by a single penny. And this is the divide, those supporting the move/not too bothered/accept it as the future believe the money will go into the team. I don't believe it for a second but I also won't get frothing mad about it. It sucks and if there was a realistic way to get Ashley to NOT DO THIS I would be all about supporting that effort. And,questions of whether NUFC will see any money aside, I DO sadly think this is the way it's headed and none will be spared, except maybe Barça and any other fan owned club. Does anyone really think the Glazers wouldn't rename OT to the Peniswrinkle Pagoda if someone waved enough cash, fans be damned?

    Would buy and wear one ironically if it read "Sports Direct.com logo @ front of shirt"
  9. Goal.com put out a bosman list from the prem. http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/premier-league/2011/11/07/2728705/premier-league-bosman-list-dimitar-berbatov-didier-drogba expect us to be linked with at least 65% of them.
  10. Upon sobriety I think we should actually deploy two highly defensive banks of five, as outlined in the following formation: http://i.imgur.com/IyBwL.png

    9 teams out of position +/- 3 places in his table. You don't have to be perfect but be close man. Still it's only 11 games. Want to revisit this after 19.

  18. doesnt that contradict itself ? Not necessarily. If it's possible to construct (and I believe it is) a single example in the course of play for an outfield player to, say, have their arm outstretched inside the penalty area - an "unnatural" position for an arm - and have it make incidental (non-deliberate) contact with a ball, then we have to admit that "natural" vs "unnatural" positioning of an arm cannot be used to determine whether or not it's a penalty. That is the way the rule stands now. Intent only - was it ball to hand or hand to ball.
  19. "Natural Position" means nothing and is s**** made up by pundits. You don't find it anywhere in the LOAF and the only decision a ref has to make is whether the handling was deliberate, not whether the position of the persons hands at the time they touched the ball is "natural".
