aye be fucking madness to sell him At any price? How much is the minimum you'd sell him for? Not trying to be obstinate here but the guy has had, what, 10 games of top-flight football? Fwiw I really like him as a player, I just think we'd be mad to not consider selling him for over 30 million. It's not about raw numbers but the abdication of hope that such a move represents. Being unable or unwilling to hold on to the rare good talent that comes from an Academy like ours - whether or not it should be a rare thing is another conversation - is perfectly in line with the Ashley protocol.

Don't do this to me, tuttosport.

I don't half care about whether or not it's "fair" or "disrespectful" but after a point I just don't find it entertaining. edit: happened in the CL a few years back here too, said as much then. Real Madrid or Barca or someone absolutely mauling FC Eastern European Minnows. Just not a heart racing spectacle to see teams thoroughly outclassed to that point.

Needs to hire the team of WH staffers who dumb down Trump's daily briefings to 2 or 3 plain-speak bullet points for him to process.

Get it sorted you twats

I'd guess the guaranteed CL qualification if his target is European competition. It would be an amazing thing to win it with them tbf. I don't really think that's it, but it's the easiest justification that comes to mind if he really does go there.

I wonder what happens. should I turn in this winning powerball ticket or take the mystery box???

Liverpool running a train on Barca has made my week.

Must be off somewhere nice

I just remember them - weirdly, of all fans - being aggressively antagonistic towards us during our decline in the Souness years and into Ashley's reign, as they themselves were in ascendancy. It's tapered off a bit in the last few years but I'm still pissed. Others probably have other reasons, I just hold grudges. tbh though I hate today's snide antics and shit play of Bournemouth even more and wish we could vote to have them swap league places with Fulham.

Yeah I don't know why Rafa would drag it out, knowing the coalition of absolute arseholes he's been working with. Announce early so he can immediately move on to something else with time to think+plan+buy in the summer. It also gives whatever hopeless shrub they replace him with a lot more time to let the realization of the shitfest they've walked into settle in before the season starts.

It's absolutely going to happen again

Disagree, they should find a way to draw.

Burnley? Yeah, anti-football at best. City. I knew who you meant. But Burnley are fucking pointless. Horrible team. They have a right to be beating the shower in front of them tbh but I really,really thoroughly detest City.

God how i fucking hate these

Saying? talking about wanting to sign Rondon, to the effect of "...the issue the hierarchy might have with it is they want to sign players under 26. But if your manager wants him, why don't you get him? Rafa this week saying 'if you want a manger who's happy with 15th find someone else.' He wants to build things here and has shown a lot of patience." basically no parroting of Mike's side of things.

Arlo White and Lee Dixon giving fair commentary on the Rafa/Mike bullshit NBC Sports.

:lol: colo and ba played out of their skin, we bought half the french national squad on the cheap, had a grizzled gypsy woman enchant the woodwork with gopher blood oh and everyone else was also a bit shit that year. All Pardew. *fadeaway* swoosh Nothing but fret.

The entirety of his managerial career before and after indicates it was a fluke, no idea why others bring it up like it was just an average season for him.
