wormy

Grafitti n'all. Fucking class, that. About the only reason I'm regretting not having it on so far.

If it's not announced at half time today its not happening imo.

That doesn't make any sense. “Subject to” & “pending” are the same fucking thing. Are they not? Might as well have chucked an 'imminently' in there for good measure.

It's settled. We're fucked.

Like fucking clockwork.

Interested in the fact we're so high in the club tradition question in that article as well. Just makes me think lot of our fans happened to be part of the survey tbh.

Fucking hell. Like, does this say more for ASM or the rest of the team?

Omg if u dont like Zlatan u just dont like bants carnt a footballer hav a personality

I have no actual knowledge but you'd guess overseas deals would work in the same way as the UK where teams need to be shown a minimum amount of times?

Reminds me of Greg Davies doing Chris Eubank :lol: Think I need to go back and watch that now.

Just came to post this. Who is this Nixon guy does he have any cred whatsoever. Used to post on here didn't he? So I'm guessing no cred. Thought that was Kristian Heneage or something. This is a Sun journo I think. Getting mixed up.

Was Emre accused of being racist more than once whilst he was at us? I can only remember the Yobo incident. Three times at NUFC. Once at Fener. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emre_Bel%C3%B6zo%C4%9Flu#Controversy

Got caught up in my general awkward feelings for Emre I (wrongly) didn't even delve in to that side of things. We've always had some shit characters at the club, that's for sure.

Emre is a weird one for me. Always had a soft spot for him as a player when I was younger but looking back I don't like that I did. Similar to Dyer's feelings, you have to think there's no smoke without fire. The number of times he was accused whilst with us, and that the Turkish FA thought it clear-cut enough to make him the first player they punished for racism.

I don't know why 'You're a nob you' has got me giggling so much.

Arsenal supporting mate loves him. That's as far as my knowledge goes.

That's fair enough. Glad I passed the Bruce criticism check. Only minutes after providing a sample, too. Hhwhat a service. :lol: There must be another alert other than 'xg', 'fat cunt', 'shite managerial record' and 'useless prick'. Wonder what pinged? Maybe Yorkie's well-reasoned intro is the winner for the Bruce thread. Start every post with it. Maybe something along the lines of; Say what you like about Bruce doing an average to decent job results wise this season, he's a useless fat cunt and I can't wait to see him back in the Champo. See if it sets anything off. Brilliant. Rafa clearly had Almiron on fire end of last season. He got better tactical instructions/details under Rafa than he does under Bruce. Snidey comments when I defend Bruce. Snidey comments when I'm critical of Bruce. What a strange little group. Alreet 'Come Dine with Me' :lol: Someone seems to be getting angry again...... Enjoy the mutual ignore. I hope it makes you very happy. Dear lord what a sad little life, Minhosa. I hope now you will spend it on getting some lessons in grace and decorum because you have all the grace of a reversing dump trunk without any tyres on. Take your ignore and get off my N-O. :lol:

We don't have new owners yet though. Yeah that’s what the discussion is, is this a Ashley is staying decision or not. The club still has to keep going, offering new contracts isn't relevant to the takeover. It isn't in the interests of Ashley/Charnley to lose players they consider assets, when there's still the potential for this deal to later fall through and them have lost said assets. it's amazing how many people think everything stops at a business when a takeover is happening. Tbf it feels like we've been told it pretty much does by Ashley nearly every fakeover. It was often the whole point of the previous fakeovers to stop business being conducted. Can't say I'm surprised if people are concerned that business suddenly seems to be kicking off again. I'm just as concerned as I have been the whole time because I just don't believe we're allowed nice things. An argument could be made that they were fakeovers, sprung up to cease business or astronomically reduce it to undermine Rafa. This however is genuine and is an answer from the PL away to being announced. Business hasn't ceased because there is no real reason for it to. Fully agree with you there. But that doesn't mean I'm surprised that the waters have been muddied for various people in part due to the constant stream of bullshit thrown about by the club for the past thirteen years, especially for those with no involvement in the workings of business takeovers. Which is totally fair as it's hard to separate anything takeover related apart from the failed attempts or PR stunts from Ashley's mates. But when you think about this takeover logically, Manquillo and Carroll signing extensions and a free agent being signed will have zero bearing on this takeover nor does it mean Ashley is expected to still own the club. Ashley probably couldn't care less what's happening at the club as long as he gets his £300m. Agreed. Logically speaking it's nothing to get worked up about. Tbh I was just flippantly defending a group of people I'm not even a part of, and don't even know how many exist. I've got 20 minutes left in the work day and must be getting even more bored as fuck than usual.

You are full on weird you like. As is your relentless defence of Bruce in the teeth of stats, reason and overwhelming opposition from the vast majority. (Aside from Butcher, I cant think of anyone else) No what is weird is the relentless anger that Bruce triggers in you lot. It's fucking weird. If I was saying Bruce was a good manager and I wanted him to stay, then the goon squad would have a point. But I'm not. Clearly post after post, I've said he's not a good manager and we need a new manager next season. How many times do I have to type it to get into your thick skulls? :lol: No ones angry as far as I can see. But you are ‘projecting’ your inner anger onto others here and then saying it’s them who are angry. I just find the energy and time you spend on defending him time after time in the face of such overwhelming odds a bit strange. I’d love to know the real reason for it. Is it because he’s a proper Geordie? Are you related? Personal friend? There’s definitely something at play here. Of course people are angry. Posters hate him. It's not even up for debate. People actively dislike him. Yeah, that's true. No one is denying that. As I posted a few days back, it's an emotional reaction that is as much caused by the circumstances of him becoming our manager than solely him being our manager. Crazy that people should have an emotional reaction over a bloke who came in after a world class manager, is generally a bit of a dick and is only utilising the club and playing the hometown hero card now that it suits him, eh? I find it much weirder that someone who accepts he's shit feels the need to defend his honour every time someone says something derogatory about him in the interest of some sort of 'balance'. It only seems to get truly 'angry' in here when you come in to tell everyone that they can dislike him but only to a certain extent.

Correct. Is there another current PL manager with a worse record than that? Daniel Farke. You asked, I answered. Yeah, I knew when I saw who had answered what sort of answer it would be. So you don't like the correct answer I gave? I think most other posters would have been able to ignore managers who have had less than a single season in the league. Not exactly a fair comparison is it. So it wasn't the type of correct answer you wanted? Well this is painful. Well done on naming a factually correct answer to your interpretation of my question, fucking brownie points for you today. Ok, next question. Are there any established premier league managers, who have managed hundreds of games in the league, waiting anywhere near 10 years to achieve the astounding, almost impossible task of winning 3 games on the bounce? But yeah, I could go and do my own research, because I am actually interested in knowing how Bruce compares to other managers; perhaps if other managers have the same issues winning 3 games in a row I'll change my judgement on Bruce a little, which surely you'd be happy with? I'm not sure comparing him with a manager of a team who were clear favourites for relegation, with less than a full season under his belt does that. Oh, be right back, I'm off to get you a badge for your correct answer. Bruce isn't a good manager. We all know this. He's done okay this season. That's the full story. That isn't anything like what I asked though? Don't worry, I'll go look myself. Why are you bothered? Why are you getting worked up about it. WE ARE SAFE FROM RELEGATION. WE ARE ON 39 POINTS WITH 7 GAMES TO GO. Who gives a fuck about Bruce's previous record? What does that have to do with the present moment? His job was to keep us up, he has done that. End of. Stop shouting please. You're getting very angry over various people's unsurprising dislike of a shit manager who you also happen to think is shit.
