HawK

Imagine trying to find a space on that coffee table for a pizza.

I always remember him being ace but can't actually remember at what :-D Similar to Ritchie, but more guile and creativity when it came to forward passing? He was a really good striker of the ball, the Ritchie comparison is good but I think Ritchie's more like a scrapper, even on the ball it doesn't look clean and tidy. Benayoun to me always looked silky smooth with the ball at his feet, slower paced, but just a natural footballer.

Depends how well the books have been kept and if they add up. If everything is ship shape and accountable then her accounts should have a pretty straight forward job. If they find discrepancies then these will have to be investigated and Ashley answer their questions. Could be a while, we just don't know. FY2020 then for us

we were in for him as well before he went to West Ham IIRC

An agreement where sensitive data is handed over that is embargoed from public view under a legal agreement that you do not disclose it outside of the parties involved. This response seems deftly aligned to the level of the question being asked

Wasn't he our joint top scorer that season Shearer was out?

Would have expected at least a semblance of some cursive lettering. Rubbed out 'sleep' to replace with '+ daddy's sleep' too, probably just survived a domestic off that.

Rafa could win the CL with Newcastle, and there'd still be a fair few who'd complain about the style in which it was won. Keegan could finish in the Euro places every season and everyone would be ecstatic

Agree to this, was shocked when we didn't get at least a yellow on a couple of occasions.

His finishing has always been a strength of his, but he just isn't in the right areas enough to show that imo.

Manquillo did Ok, but I think someone else should have also come out to help close down once he was being worked towards the edge of the area. One feint or drop of the shoulder and it's a shot at the goal, I believe PL defenders should know this. No defender wants to be left 1-1 vs any PL striker imo.

Just goes to show how differently people view things. And fwiw thinking someone's not good enough or has made a mistake doesn't automatically equal hate. I just think if one attacker has the ball for that long in the 'danger area' so to speak, and is allowed a shot as well, it shows a lack of defensive nous to properly remove the striking opportunity. It's hardly like they were caught out.

First goal was defence's fault all day long Don't understand the hate towards Elliot

The more I see of Wright and Shearer together, the more I think they could be on to something. Love the banter/chemistry they seem to have.

Wouldn't be the first player that hasn't looked like a world-beater that Rafa's apparently turned around, not even at this club. Probably the same way Villa fans feel about Clark.

I didn't, he had an obligation to buy after a set amount of games. Not just an option but an OBLIGATION, there was absolutely no way it was going to end any other way. I understand people are rightfully pessimistic about this club but in this particularly case there was no reason to be. Eh? Don't you remember how Jonas was treat with his games played mandatory contract extension clause? Ashley prevented him from being selected.

I do, a few had the idea, seemed sound at the time CB and Kluivert looked great together in literally the 1 or 2 games they actually started together.

Full body orgasm, anyone else?

I don't think we've ever had a replacement lined up for any player we've ever sold, at least in my memory. I think it's one of those things that 'other clubs do'

Individually it could be argued he's third best but when taking into account his leadership and effect on the rest of the side he's the best. I'd absolutely love to see Rafa try a 3-5-2, we've definitely got the players for it. Clarke, Lejenue, Lascelles at the back, Yedlin on the right bombing up and down and wor Geordie Pau- nevermind Still, I think we're a natural left wing-back away from having a really decent starting 11 in that formation. Shelvey sitting deep and playing the quarter back, with Merino and Hayden cleaning up. 2 up top, Jos/Mitro + Gayle.

He should be getting extra sessions for himself. Was going to say the same. Get some training in on knowing what to do with the ball before you get it, like pretty much every midfielder and striker in the Premier League is at least somewhat capable of to a degree.

This. Shearer was respected but probably never went after his own players. Dyer/Bowyer happened on his watch.. Two best captains in the PL over last few decades have been Keane and Vieira, different styles off the pitch but both true leaders on it. Lascelles seems to be more of the Keane type in taking on people. How many titles did Man Utd win off the back of those players being terrified of messing up? Towards the end of Keegans reign as manager we went on a 7 match winless run during which after one game Shearer called out Ginola in the changing room resulting in Ginola having Shearer by the throat up against the changing room wall. I'd believe that, I can imagine Ginola being quite a psycho.

Id write to him every day! Underpants in the mail?

The investigation could not happen as they could not examine the documents they seized. The fact that we have tried to stop them having access does not bode well in my opinion, if there was nothing to hide why launch the challenge. This might not end well It might mean that Mike is keener to walk away though. .... or any potential investor Any potential investor will be completely innocent though. Anything happening here will be against individuals.
