It may be that he puts the plans in place for others to follow. As another tweet thread someone posted says, maybe it's that he likes the establishment of it all more than the actual seeing it through. Like me on Football Manager. Bloody love building my squad that first summer but the season starts and my assistant gets delegated every damn thing.

I'm going to be fucking devastated if they find a reason to add a further ban on top. I know I'm getting myself worked up over a hypothetical but I'm so excited at the thought of him boosting the ranks next season with a year under his belt to have hopefully settled in a bit and get the weight of this gambling shit off his shoulders.

People turning their noses up to any European football continues to bewilder me.

Tbf they only had to finish ahead of Celtic to get this Europa League berth. I dare say we'd still be in Europe ourselves if we had that route.

Ban yourself. Disgrace.

It's fate.

Hodgson is a strange one for me. I've got a lot of time for someone who has managed to continue in the game for so long, but I'm not the one that has to endure the dour style and who am I to judge Palace fans for wanting better? Just like anyone telling us to be careful what we wished for under the copious amount of dicksplashes we've faced. The problem is whenever Palace try to transition in to something more interesting they appear destined to fall to shit from it. Best of luck to 'em on this latest attempt.

Same. Or I just completely forgot. Ironically for all of Woy's gems in there the moment I cracked up is the deadpan 'I don't think they'll want that' from the interviewer.

For the love of fuck let's not do this again.

Cheers guys now we can't afford any new players.

If we don't build a provision in for that then it's our own fault. I'd imagine there'll be agreements in place that he can't start utilising NUFC-based research, targets etc. Of course if he's such a snake that he's been compiling his own research out of NUFC's sight ready for the jump then there's not much we can do. But I'd expect the club to take him and Man U to the cleaners if talk of existing NUFC targets start getting targeted by Man U.

Wasn't there a game or tournament in the US once where they had a shoot out which rather than penalties, were one on ones? Bring those in.

Yeah found an old article and re-reading you're right. Seems the May agreement was to cut that gardening leave short.

I think we reached an agreement in May 2022 and he was on gardening leave for like 6 months. So I think he's barely been officially working for us a year before he's seemingly had his head turned.

Ugh. I think the worst thing is the Man U fans stroking themselves silly over being 'back' in the comments.

I don't care outside of it being something that could unsettle short-term plans at the club. I have nothing particularly positive or negative to say because I don't really know what exactly he's been responsible for up to this point. Ultimately I just hope part of his job since arriving along with others has been future proofing the club, contingencies, continuity etc so that this exact scenario doesn't suddenly send everything up the spout. All the best in your future endeavours. Both with Man U and the next 'long term project' you'll seemingly jump ship for in another 2 or 3 years.

Why do I find the thought of Shearer saying 'giving a woman one' so wrong?

As if this story couldn't get any worse, Edwards trots along to stick his vino-soaked oar in.

More tedious than an MBappe 'will he won't he' transfer saga, this.

That's pretty mad.

How late is this match going to go on. Seems the officials can't even sort their comms out.

This half time analysis is quite refreshing, giving Cech time to actually go in to a bit of detail.

Cheery one, you. If it makes you feel any better, as a few others have noted, we're 5 points off our points total at this stage last season which isnt that much of a drop considering the circumstances of this season. Even if we kept up the pace of last season and sourced those five points from somewhere we'd jump a stonking.. one spot in the table and still be five points behind Villa who have a game in hand in 4th. It's as much teams have improved as it is us 'dropping behind' this season.

Didn't realise just how far the top 5 had pulled ahead tbh.

It's attitudes like this that mean we can't include questions in civil discourse.
