They worked really well together at the end of last season didn't they? Ah that explains it. You have to have a boss midfield nowadays to get away with 2 strikers for any length of time.

Terrible decision to play both Adams and Ings as a pair. Gives them nowt in the creative department.

Quite like that song. My dirty little secret.

Piss poor match this.

Doesnt matter how shit the mistake is, provided the ref has the balls to change their mind.

They thought they would piss the championship. :lol:

Tony Pulis is embarrassing. Says Chris Wilder is just as good as Bielsa and that West Ham are only poor because of Pellegrini's transfers not Moyes management. Pure gammon.

Let's be honest. Hes incredibly injury prone. I suspect even Rafa would have run out of patience.

Hes literally our only decent defensive midfield player. He would great alongside someone like Cabaye who could pull the strings.

We will get a couple of million when we sell him. Theres nothing more to it.

Is going to sign a new deal too. Dat ambition.

Yeah. I don't get the 6 years at all. I wonder if we give out longer contracts for lower weekly wages. MA sees it as protecting his assets, so he can sell them, rather than them leaving for nothing. What he hasnt learned, is that in the cases of players like Henry Saivet, it costs him a shit ton of wages.

Spot on. Still annoyed at that Kane tackle.

Big fan of Flo. Hopefully he can have a good season with Alaves without getting injured. Bruce getting rid of our ball playing centre backs I see.

Masters just looks like a thoroughbred slimy fucker. Hes got Tory cunt written all over him. Surprised him and Staveley dont get on.

:lol: fucking does.

MA is looking for the receipts as we speak, in the hope he can return them. Hope the cunt has to pay postage.

Whoever it is, is from the NE. I've seen some tweets with Geordie twang in them. I doubt they are close to Ashley given how much piss taking he has done. Stuff that even someone like Ashley would find insulting. They are very funny though and have got a few things correct, by pure chance I suspect.

Theres no conspiracy here either. The PL rightly dont want state actors owning football clubs. If the Saudis want to have their hands in a football club it needs to be through an independent body or a wealthy individual. Just take PIF out of the equation and replace it with someone not related to the Royal family or part of the government. I'm sure there is a list of people in SA prepared to be a puppet for them.

I dont really see the complication. PL wanted more details on the Saudis, which they felt they didnt need to give as they had already answered a bunch of questions. This left the situation in Limbo (hence the borefest over the summer). Staveley and Co decided to play a game of bluff by claiming to withdraw from the deal. This was merely an attempt to put pressure on the PL by bringing stuff out in the open. Negotiations have still been ongoing but unsuccessfully. MA decides to through his own spanner in the works by claiming it was rejected and hoying some accusations about. (Not like him to be flexible with the truth). PL say it hasnt been formally rejected, therefore it remains at an impasse. Neither side will budge. It will have to be done without PIF for now, or not at all.

Ashley wont contest it. He would rather sell it for a reduced price to some moron who could be waved through, than put time and effort into a law suit.

If Staveley had any sense, she would offer MA to take control of the club by buying 65% or whatever is the controlling stake. She can then hang the carrot of keeping his advertising for another year or so while her, the Reubens and PIF (if they are still interested) can work out a way forward. The best part for MA is that someone is willing to invest in the club while he can still flog his tat (temporarily).

Just remind yourself of who's in the dugout. Helps. Aye it's like having the former girlfriends mother in the dugout.

Aye kick off time has changed and it's on Sky.
