HawK

Rafa and the Sheikh sitting next to each other outlining their plans for the next 5 years? Rafa saying goodbye and to wish us luck.

"Although it was earlier reported that we interpreted the Eid Mubarak message as meaning the takeover was being finalized and that it was intended to mean 'It will be like Christmas for you fans', we can now reveal it is actually a separate festival entirely, not related to Christmas, and we can confirm that it does not actually fall on Christmas day either."

Why? How does that benefit Ashley? It's about patterns of behaviour. Hes quashed Staveley (who was genuine), and Kenyon (who he was mates with), why wouldnt he have dumped these lot by now. He will be inundated with questions, he could have responded at any time and hasn't. Not until after the story had served its purpose How much more of the next 30 days can this occupy fans so we stop putting pressure on not renewing Benitez's contract. Bishop's played a blinder.

How much do you think Bishop pays the potential suitor each time, 4,5m seems decent compensation to be linked with buying us. E.g. all previously linked parties.

The makems doing as good as job as they can themselves, in more ways than one, tbh.

Asian girl randomly dancing on the right.

Why is everyone called Dembele now.

Hamann was the best in my memory, before he spouted 'oohh i'm homesick', before moving to fucking Liverpool.

No, sorry. I wasn't holding any vitally pertinent information close to my chest waiting until someone asked me if I had any.

Rafa refusing to take signed napkins as written agreements...

If he's still interested in a project, you couldn't get further away from that goal than Celtic.

Wow, one match with Stiffler and HTT is gone.

I'd like to trust in Rafa's integrity, if he stays it will be for the right reasons. He's smart enough to not be dicked about and to make sure to get things in writing. So if he stays I'd be quite a bit more invested than I am now, until the inevitable constructive dismissal tribunal which will make for great reading.

... was signed 1000 days ago, today.

Bit more reaction from him on the goal : https://www.premierleague.com/news/1088126

Trying to figure out which South Park character Squires' depiction of Solskjær reminds me of....

The crux of this is since we've got Lejeune and Schar who are both more than capable of playing a quality long pass or long ball, Shelvey is surplus to requirements and a luxury player. He doesn't bring anything else to the table. Push him further forward and you take away the one thing he can do. If our first choice central defence included players like Dummett and Lascelles then there's an argument for him to play, but they're not, so there isn't.

Magoal difference

Was going to mention Carl Cort in terms of his availability. Went to check WiKi and saw he's Ruben Loftus-Cheek's half-brother?!

Always better when they leave out unnecessary politics. I liked the grammatical correction in the penultimate frame, he couldn't be bothered to erase the remaining 3 words so just changed 'they' to 'it' and left a ruddy great space

Was too young to see any of Romario, but from that video I can confidently say he shoots like Messi and dribbles like Kerlon. The stutters and momentum reversals around the box and keeper remind me of Beardsley tbh
