TRon

I was on there after the takeover, the user name was Alan D'ohliver, couldn't get the TRon one to work. It was good catching up tbh. Still need Ayatollah Hermione to turn up, that was the stupidest and yet most brilliant username I've come across in ages.

That username always made me laugh. Then again it helped having the avatar with the daft sponge as well. Get it sorted.

He'll be close to orgasm as he's writing that.

Agree, I'm not a fan of signing players who would rather be somewhere else. Think I'd prefer to go for Alli personally, at least he wants to come.

Alex was still there, used to post on here as well, really good poster. Hope he finds his way over here.

Yeah, it came in handy when I wasn't able to post here, always felt a bit guilty using them as back up and then leaving as soon as time was served. Some really good posters.

We should be tbh, this is the one I want above every other signing.

Yeah I disagree on Longstaff as well, might have to watch the second half again at some point to see what he done. With Joelinton out the DM position has become even more urgent. Supposedly Joe's stats in 42 mins on the field were equivalent to Shelvey's over the full 90 mins.

If that's their thinking then not much we can do about it, but they aren't going to stop us by refusing to sell Lingard. We'll just buy someone else. I can understand them trying to hobble us by forcing some rule changes, but that's the only way of stopping us. We've got all the money, our rise is inevitable. Refusing to sell us Lingard strikes me as a bit like pissing in the wind.

Howe's view on Willock which I agree with. Is he good enough? Not really, but he does have the ability to cover ground and compete with high energy teams like Leeds. I hope this is also an insight into Howe's thinking regarding midfield. We haven't been linked with many central midfielders, but some journalists are saying we definitely want one in this window.

Yes I could understand that if we were West Ham or Spurs, but we aren't competing for a top 4 place.

The Glazers don't strike me as the type who will overlook raking in some cash.

Howe himself will probably get binned off before his nephew if he's bad at his job.

How the fuck would you know that?

I actually complained about this back in the days when we still had the Pink published on a Saturday night, and email had just become a thing. I got published and John Gibson replied "Meoww!" It's our club crest you fucking cretin!

Just like they did with our badge. I mean get a life.

Which one came first? Because we certainly weren't a shit football team when we played Peyter Reid's Sunderland.

I'm still convinced we were the first ones to start the "cheer up Peyter Reid" song and the Man U fans pinched it and used it for Alan Shearer.

And he's only 25, Lingard is 29.

Don't know how true it is, but there's some opinion that we've swung more towards Alli from Lingard because Jesse is non-committal, whereas Dele seems quite keen on a move to Newcastle. That's quite big for me, while I think Lingard is more what we need, I only want players who want to be here.

Love Bryan Gil's look. I bet he paints abstract art pieces in his spare time.

It's starting to look like the Chelsea at the start of the season. Conte is probably thinking wtf was I thinking coming here.

Fair enough, I do have issues in general with his lack of teamwork, he could probably learn a bit from Joelinton in that regard.

Fair enough, we know what it's like to lose hope in your football club so I won't pester you about it any longer.

Wow.
