HawK

Thought he was an class above, tbh.

On just the specific issue of who should decide the starting time of the meeting.

This is almost the exact same problem I have with Dummett. He may not be making obvious mistakes but the constant hesitation and unwillingness to go beyond halfway or overlap absolutely kills any attacking momentum. His speed wouldn't be so much of an issue if he wasn't the very definition of a head-down player in my opinion (talking about Ritchie).

No of course not, Rafa had less to work with materially was my point. Water to wine etc.

Rafa had to lead the line with a £1.5m attacking midfielder from Tenerife and a laon striker from the championship. Bruce had had £56m spent on just two players to replace them. An inconvenient fact that never gets mentioned by pundits. Let alone Almiron was still acclimatising to real football.

Keiron Dyer's fake sprayed-on hair :lol:

Makes Hart look like Buffon

He's useless, but not hatable. He's just a regular bloke trying his best with his hometown club. If it had the layering of shit and arrogance that Pardew served up on a daily basis, or the sheer embarrassment of anything Kinnear or Carver said in press conferences, or the lack-of-caring attitude of McClaren, i.e. he always seemed to walk away or get sacked very early into contracts, especially in the Championship, I'd be inclined to loathe him more. All I feel is apathy, this is our true limbo. A place where fans can't openly criticise a manager who's obviously out of his depth, catapulted into a position with a club he had no right being near (very Pardew-esque in that regard mind). At best Bruce is just irrelevant, at least it should help focus the fanbase amongst the casuals onto the real issues here, i.e. the ownership of the club.

Thank you for taking on the outrage among us forum Yanks Ameritoon[/member] , tbh I never even thought of it that way, though now you point it out, it does seem like an angry American has written it . I had just found it hard to fathom that most people who follow the Premier League would forget about him, then bowlingcrofty[/member] turns up and disproves my entire rant-driven point

Unpopular opinion alert. Switched off from these, made the mistake of clicking the link for the latest one. '...forget that Christian Pulisic even existed'. Really? The most talented American kid of the past 20 years, possibly of all time, who signed for Chelsea. Closed tab at that point. Who does he think his audience is, exactly? Maybe Squires forgot he existed whilst trying to balance the political direction of the newspaper with football whilst dealing with the inconvenient truth that the wealth that built the company that pays him was largely generated from the backs of cotton pickers. I'm sure some of the frames are comedic in isolation, but after he burst onto the scene with a very authentic, purely football-driven approach (which was pretty much universally heralded), it quickly seemed to become yet another propaganda vehicle for the newspaper's larger agenda with football being the setting, rather than the subject.

Literally the first couple of news conferences in FM, you learn that the best answer about tactical set ups before a game is the one about 'I'm not prepared to discuss tactical gameplans in public before a game'. Seems Brucie never learnt this.

My interpretation of things is: Barclays Bank was on the verge of financial collapse during the GFC; Staveley asserts she put together a consortium of investors to purchase shares in Barclays Bank and thereby provide Barclay's with a large chunk of money so they wouldn't collapse (i.e. to recapitalise the bank) and that Staveley was promised fees/commissions for putting the deal together; Barclays Bank asserts Staveley was not part of the consortium of investors and was only a bit player (e.g. an advisor) and was therefor not entitled to the fees/commissions that Staveley is claiming; Barclay's Bank has not paid Staveley what she believes she is owed; and Staveley is suing Barclay's Bank to get the money she believes she is entitled to (noting that the value of that amount has been inflated by other costs accrued during the non-payment period). This is as short as I can make it whilst being as technically correct as I can be in simple-ish language. Thanks, makes sense. Does the investment capital align with our current buyers, or are they a separate entity ?

Can anyone provide me a 1 line summary of what this course case is about and why Stavely's giving evidence? Is it related to Barclays?

Last time she was reminding me of May Carlton. Now she's got a touch of the Kim Wexlers. Not in a million years, man! More Jocelyn Wildenstein tbh

Aduriz > Joaquin, in my book at least.

That doesn't really concern me. North East football is tragic, and has been for a while. Hope Sunderland can sort themselves out. Whatever we think of them they shouldn't be toiling in Division 3. The mismanagement there has been a disgrace really. Agreed. Did say, right at the start when they went down to L1, that I felt sorry for them. It's not their fault that it's their lot in life to be born in Sunderland, to grow up in that mag-hating culture. I don't get the 'what it would be like if situations were reversed' posts, like that justifies kicking them while they're fighting for their existence. It's very small-minded imho /tinhat. Be the bigger person here. Sunderland, trying to compete in the highest leagues, with us, is the most satisfying time to be a Newcastle fan.

ty m8, on to pornhub without further ado

Muto wasn't cheap. Looked decent to me most times he played, to be honest.

Aye, this one: https://www.flightradar24.com/GLF5/2489d389 Gonna check it again in a while and see where it's going. I'm watching it like a hawk. Literally can't take my eyes of it. Changed my computer monitors to dual screen. That's not how we watch things. Generally we're a lot further away from our target than you are.

Pop them on 4chan with a link for us please

Yep. Definitely not getting ahead of yourself there. If this doesn't come off, I'm f***ing off into e-hiding given the sheer amount of s*** NUFC fans will get on every single online platform going. This is the positive-optimism thread, so I have the right to be optimist in this thread. Wonder if they can throw in VvD and Mane too? Lets not getting ahead of ourselves here, ok Unintentionally the funniest post I've read in a long while

What are fans of other football clubs talking about on their forums? At least we have the takeover to discuss. Everton fans are talking about our takeover a lot and, my word, they absolutely fucking hate us. If it goes through then, with the Mackems out of the picture, we have a new enemy. In fact their board members on Grand Old Team are uncannily similar to those on RTG. Bitter doesnt even come close. Fits perfectly imo, they're the Sunderland of Merseyside. Will never be as big or successful as the other club there. Attracts a certain sort of fan.

Fck me, the lockdown has really diluted the gene pool on this forum

I'd place a smaller wager that there are a few are. Not everyone is a level-headed, rational person who wouldn't latch on to anything to drum up support for a good societal lynching. Mr Keys would be first on my list
