And they talk about not taking retrospective action when there are countless examples of them doing so in the past. They haven't got a leg to stand on with this.
I actually like going to Shearer's when I'm over. Sam Jacks seems to be the best spot though. Hopefully they don't close Shearer's permanently to extend the club shop or put a Sports Direct in.

Same thing happened to AC for a while there. Probably down to an aging squad and just the stature of the league now. The world's best mostly go to Spain, England or to massively rich clubs who will pay them a fortune.
fwiw, they are in a very similar league position to last season, which suggests they're of similar quality.
Bale has improved immensely though and they have a real star there now. If they had a top class centre forward they'd be up there.
