:lol: That is so fucking Pardew

Seen the quotes. The man has a disease Bring them in

Aye, I thought that was a great one personally.

'arry, can you not tell by the bag?

There was an informative if not particularly decisive article by some football analyst who use the sale of Southampton as one of the several barometers by which he valued our club. If you were to use them, though, I'd say an offer of 250-300m seems to be where we should be looking, although with the threat of HMRC and Relegation, I'd not be surprised if a bidder might be offering less than that. I think it would be a fairly reasonable stance as well. Fuck knows if Southampton were value for money though .

This. Entitlement is not the right word mind Agree, but I’m feeling lazy. The general point is right — they owe us nothing and their offers are not indicative of anything that would happen if they did own us in the future. This is a business transaction. Here, it's the right word for what I'm trying to say... I feel like statements like: Are pretty entitled, like they owe us something. Entitlement is feeling like you have a 'right' to something or that you are owed, right? Seems the right word to me. Ashley, in buying a club of our stature, owes us (the fans, the city, the region) a competitively run club. His time here has, in terms of progress made, been a disaster. A takeover from someone willing to run the club in the right way would be a corrective to the penny-pinching, corrosive, and at times downright offensive (changing the name of the stadium, the huge SD advert on the Gallowgate roof, etc.) way the club has been run in recent years. We *are* owed more than we're getting - for the continued level of support under his manky stewardship if nothing else. Aye fair enough, totally irrelevant seen as we're discussing PCP and what they owe us...which is obviously the sum total of fuck all. In what way can a failed bid do us more harm than good? If there are other people willing to buy us, they'll buy us. In all other situations, Mike Ashley still controls the club and he still doesn't give us money to spend in Jan. PCP owe us nothing they can take as long as they like. Should they just spunk an extra 50 million over the odds, to Mike Ashley of all people, because a business they have no investment in might go under/get relegated? I hope we get sold in time for the transfer window too, it's just not their fault their valuation of the club is different to Ashley's.

There's a canny amount of entitlement in this tread. Why should they just stump up another 50m if they don't think it's worth it? What if the investment group don't want to invest that extra vast amount of money in the club due to the fact we've a decent chance of getting relegated? Until they buy the club, they don't owe us anything and they have no responsibility. Ashley, as ever, is the person in the position to fuck us over.

Is he saying Southgate doesn't get many games to manage so his sample size is small, not to his detriment. Similarly he (Silva) is a young manager and obviously doesn't have such a large track record to bullshit some stats out of. I don't know?

Fucking YES! I can't believe Allardyce is still on about this shit with a chip on his shoulder. He got fired from his last job for being crooked ffs, nowt to do with his nationality.

Toon Toon Chocolate?

Should have used this to prove me wrong about the quality of the league...

:lol:

used some nice skill to beat a player on at least 3 occasions yesterday, which is about as much as I've seen any of our other wingers do in their entire premiership careers, tbh. Final ball seems to be a bit shite but I'm sure he's got it in him. Needs to play more, not less.

Aye, undoubtedly, I think because there's really only a distinction between top half and bottom half in the league, there are going to be times where 2 or 3 losses in a row will have you in a precarious position. I suppose in these instances it will be as much about 'bottle' and staying calm and sticking to tactics as it will about skill levels of individual teams. I think Rafa will have us well drilled enough to get us out of those positions.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm not sure how that shows the quality of the league is low. Everyone taking points off each other suggests a competitive league. Whether they're all shite or all good is another matter, really.

The Holy Trinity The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.

Aye, in all honesty, I'd love to get bought out, but if Ashley fucks it up I'm 75% sure I'd be hoping to lose Rafa instantly, get relegated and lose Ashley 200 million. We'd still be playing football and we'd be rid of that fat cunt forever, at least. I wonder if he'd sell, after his asset loses that much money maybe he'd have to stay to build it up again? haha, fuck. Maybe I don't hope for that...

I can’t believe gray has scored. He’s unbelievably one of the worst players on The pitch...

We’re clearly worse with 2 up front. Don’t have the centre midfield for it.

Murphy probably been brightest alongside shelves. Our CM is invisible, nonetheless. We never have the ball for more than 10 seconds per move, and never retain it.

Football fan in 'being reactionary fool' shocker

Why? He's never played in a top league before? It's the definition of being out of your league.

She definitely said black, like.
