Colos Short and Curlies

The first meeting with Fraser would be interesting

Probably why we didn't win

Makes you wistful for the halcyon Pardew days

There was one in USA 94 involving Brazil where Keegan was co-commentating and slightly downplayed an obvious assault. We've had our share of poor fouls - was it Barton against Everton the season we went down? But the absolute worst

Probably the right place for this.. We've just had 3 debutants scoring, 2 in one game. Is Cisse the last debutant to score for us? and when was the last time we had 2 debut goals in one game? I'm guessing we are going back to Keegan's first stint if not earlier?

Mma is Caulkin, convinced of it

If I was a journalist in Saudi I'd probably limit my tweets as well tbf

It's the sort of thing that nobody everybody likes to see

The 5th place season he and Tiote regularly controlled games over a 3 man midfield

I guess the Lukaku and Stones sales will help with FFP rules

So essentially 21m disappeared in to the void of a balance sheet despite the physical assets still being on the books Technically disappeared off the balance sheet

Take away the £20m bit and the last few ages could be a copy and paste from when we signed Ba

Wrong or right, that write off was definitely used as an accounting trick to hide how much should have been available It was a pretty poor trick then as it was 100% out in the open, mentioned in the release of the accounts and clearly referenced as such. It's not a particularly complicated treatment either so not something to use to bamboozle people

Not linking this to PIF still being in discussions behind the scenes but how serious are the Saudis into getting into Football? I can see them hitting problems in France due to PSG's owners, Germany is a no go and how receptive would the Spanish FA be to someone breaking up the Barca/Real duopoly? This really leaves the Premier League as the best route for them so could it be that there will be some form of an offshoot of PIF being put together in the background who will then come back in for us or another club? Edit, Italy obviously are a route that I forgot about when coming up with this hypothesis!

Now come on, people are Bounty put on weight for a Galaxy of Reisens while they've had some TimeOut due to lockdown, really Mars our reputation when everyone Snickers over photos like these. Aye. It's no Picnic being the size of a Double Decker. Body fascism. If we're handing out insults for being fat, let's have a go at him. Look at him! At least start on him, then move onto Brucie... Still a better look than his jeans

I'd still love Mitrovic back here. And what an inch perfect pass by Merino for the first goal

Just imagine the joy Shearer must have felt when that free kick went in

Fuck me, another 17 weeks stalemate! Or Masters going Fuck This, get Stavely back through the door and get this done

Skim read that as Trevor Nelson taking us over

More of a trio with Colo

Hancock is

I've a chance of hospitality with either of them so bring it on afaic

So takeover is still on, Poch has apparently turned us down. Rafa is coming back, I can feel it in my bones/r

Or they have heard something to suggest the PL are about to pass it and are putting out noise in an attempt to derail

Surely if the PL act on political pressure then they are in direct conflict with FIFA and UEFA who prohibit any political involvement in football? There's just so many what ifs for both sides of the decision so the PL really do need to take their checklist and go through each question as it's written and we either tick the box or we don't. Anything else just leads to court
