WTF is this shithead of a post?

I sense an agenda here. Are you Frimpong’s agent or something?

@Milanista you are one of the most respected non-NUFC fans on here fwiw

He is going to be my second pick on FPL this season after Trippier

Hope he does better than the last Valentino L

you can only go as low as what competitors would offer instead.

It’s because selling Targett for £15m only improves our FFP position by £3m

they would be involved in collating medical records to send to the purchasing club

As others have said it is likely that we will be downflating the media reporting of the fee as it will clearly be a controversial sale in the eyes of the rest of the league, so bare that in mind when whinging about the price.

Assume Ritchie must have been injured?

Interested to find out what went on between Howe and Fraser as there is no way Lewis should still be this far up the pecking order, and yet because of the issue with Fraser, here we are.

What’s up with Kuol was hoping we’d see him at some point.

Hopefully in addition to the £40m or whatever we have some silly performance clause or % of next sale clause

To be perfectly honest, in world football today, Barnes is the closest player in terms of the style of play and ability to Laurent Robert.

no because Ashley had banked a large amount of transfer profit in those 12 months and only reinvested a fraction

For those who are ASM critics and I am one of those, I don’t think any of us don’t appreciate that he was a major part of us staying in this division for three years. we are going to have to sell to progress and he is the best balance between providing money and not losing a great player. Could be Bruno or Isak next season going to have to get used to it. part of our problem is I don’t think we have sold a key player and improved the squad with the funds since 1996.

Twitter could just be copying what I said on the forum a couple of days ago to be fair

She was always so welcoming to you that I swear if you had asked her if she had a younger sister/cousin then you would be related to Ketsbaia by now

nah the way this thread is going, NE5 and HTL are going to return to the forum and relaunch the Board Wars in this thread. Strap in.

would have loved to have seen the introductions in the directors box: ”I am Scotland’s top living goal scorer” ”I played for Scotland at the World Cup” ”I am Head of Georgian FA” ”I am Georgian Foreign Secretary” “I once contacted the Georgia manager’s wife on behalf of an online forum to establish his interest in the NUFC manager job” ”and I’m his Dad”

yes he does get criticised as he is probably just outside of our 11 best players. fans have however played the ‘loves the club’ card as a reason to support Longstaff and Mitrovic. I’ve rarely seen that card played for Murphy despite the fact that I’ve seen more photos of child Murphy in an NUFC strip than the Longstaffs, Dummett and Mitrovic combined.

yes he was judged on performances. But despite being at a similar level, he needed to perform better than particular peers (e.g Longstaff and Mitrovic) to be liked the same as them.

Racism isn’t just about abuse, it’s about how we treat players. Still happens today as players like Sterling will attest to. The most common racism today is that many of us are guilty of holding certain players to a higher standard before we accept them and like them. I think some attitudes towards Murphy in particular have been inwardly racist.

In my opinion there was a lot of casual racism / unconscious bias when it came to both Dyer and Bramble which meant that people saw some issues that weren’t really there.

This is my memory of Bramble, seems to differ from what I’ve read. Following a return from injury: Game 1 - Bit rusty, few hairy moments, did OK Game 2 - Solid enough Game 3 - Nearly cost us there Game 4 - That was a horrible clanger Game 5 - OMG Titfuck Bumble WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??? Game 6 - Solid enough Game 7 - Really good game Game 8 - tremendous Game 9 - injured injury meant he wouldn’t usually get to games 7 or 8. Robson and Souness are the worst managers he could have, I seem to recall he did well for Roeder. he could have been a world beater - I think Howe would have got him to that point.
