Going through to arbitration could simply be the PLs way out of this. They 'can't' wave it through due to pressures from the big They 'can't' wave it through without a change in proposed ownership structure to save face They 'can't' block the takeover based on the D&O test rules that applied at the time of the submission. They don't actually want to block Saudi involvement in the league due to the money on offer Arbitration says there is no grounds to block it, PL shrug and say they have no choice but to let it through

McClaren was just 100% the wrong person at the wrong time. The club was poison when he came in and he just isn't the personality to turn anything around Pardew rode waves and then got too big for his boots and tried to be too clever far too often. Other than Rafa and Keegan no manager that we've had under Ashley would have taken his squad to 5th place though. Carver, he was just Pardew's turd that wouldn't flush. Bruce actually came in with the team in the best shape of any of Ashley's managers - other than maybe Allardyce So you have Rafa, Keegan, Hughton who were qualified successes (as successful as could be under the regime but potential to have done better if circumstances allowed) Big gap to Pardew Gap to Kinnear Swamp feeders of Carver, Allardyce and McLaren Bruce

Absolutely not. She seems a good pundit - nailed our performance and lack of nounce vs Brentford but her gender should not afford any greater protection than for any pundit. Maybe some leeway for her being new, but that's it. Leeds are wrong in this btw, but just because it is petty and unnecessary, but as it came after thrashing a Fat Sam team they get a pass

Nah, we didn't get within 2 meters of any of them.

Is think the lack of a crowd has helped Darlow, would be interesting to see if he keeps up the same level of performance with 50000 people ready to groan at every slight misstep

I think we all knew even without Brummies warning.

Feel for the back 3 plus Darlow shipping 7 plus, all likeable lads

All of these gems and not one of the obvious Bruceball Or 25 shots 25 shots part deux 25 shots part tois Etc

Luckily Aguero will only be the bench, he can't do that much damage with just 45 mins....

I'm not on twitter but I hope there is one reply simply saying They're

Hope he hasn't done the updates on his ps5 in advance and spends all Christmas day in front of a download screen

Out

Tackle (and no I don't mean having his 'tackle' out on show, of course he could do that). Definition of a forwards tackle every time he went for the ball

Bergkamp for me, loved him as a player

(a) Love that shirt, its pretty close to the 95 one for me (b) How soft were those 2 red card? © How didn't Campbell see red when giving away the penalty? I'd had my eye socket fractured playing football at Uni that day, a little groggy watching it but then pulled a cracking little Irish bird the same night so overall a very good day

Mitrovic last minute winner

Can’t it’s a Friday feeling sorry What the fuck is in that candy bar? Chocolate

You're asking the PL to choose between the interests of the "big 6" and Debenhams. Masters is a Rocha John Rocha sort of guy

So who would be caretaker if/when he gets the old Spanish archer? Ramage? Shola (lol)?

Surely Man City must be worse off? One place above us

Shhiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttttttt. Did you see that. Would love it for a real commentator to let their guard down like that

Another wonderful stat - 7 points worse off this year in the games we've played (vs last years scores). Only Sheff Utd have a worse record

CH updates were useful in the early stages, but there is usually a delay in things being published online so I would expect anything significant to be out in the media before CH reflects it
