If the PL block this deal, heads will roll.

Said all along I'll not believe this is happening until it's done.

I was there for Keegan's return as manager against Bolton, and even though the match was shit the atmosphere was unreal, especially at the start and before kickoff. If this goes through, it'll be like that again, I'm sure.

I swear that every day that passes moves the completion date 2 days further away. Even Sisyphus would have gone "Nah, this is just getting silly" by now.

Fucking hell, what time's that? Does he expect #cans?

That's exactly where I'm at. I cannot enjoy any of this until it is confirmed. Which is a shame because I'm DESPERATE to enjoy it. I want to crack open a few beers and do cheesy shit like play Local Hero at an inappropriate volume and watch YouTube clips of our best moments, welcoming my long lost club back to my heart, but I just cannot yet because the fall if it fell through would be too great. And I'll admit, this waiting is fucking killing me.

They played well together but created nothing for the strikers. 2 great athletes who could bomb up and down all day and put a shift it, but when it came to getting the ball to anyone else it just wasn't happening.

Fixed Well, yeah. There is that.

Here that goal against wolves was fuckin tremendous, was still rising as it hit the net, I reckon it could have feasibly left the atmosphere. Let's not rewrite history. He scored 12 goals in 205 appearances for us. In his whole career, he managed just 19 goals in 454 matches. His crossing was awful too. I loved his passion, his industry, and his running with the ball, but his end product was fucking woeful.

Loved Jonas as a person and for his workrate, but fucking hell he was abysmal at crossing and shooting.

So the takeover's broken down and we have to get the bus from Four Lane Ends?

Photoshopped some WhatsApp messages he said he'd exchanged with someone close to the buyers in a previous takeover. Once you spotted how badly they were photoshopped, the whole thing was farcical. Problem is, everyone was too tits-gone with the takeover talk to even notice. I reckon with hindsight Odin expected everyone to just laugh at how (probably) deliberately bad his photoshops were, but when nobody did he had to double-down.

You're not helping.

This May or next?

Yeah, the Bin Zayed one never reached this stage. I'm still supremely confident this will fall flat on its face because we're not allowed nice things, but this is the furthest a bid has ever gotten.

Nah, but it's fine through BeOUT. Crystal clear.

If they announce the takeover as complete, I suspect everyone will.

It's gonna go wrong quickly if everyone doesn't mute their microphones until they actually want/need to speak.

Don't even follow them or view their tweets. Just ignore their existence entirely. See also Hopkins, Katie.

Generally I'd agree with point 6, but if this takeover is announced early morning, I absolutely will be having cans for breakfast.

Hopefully nobody, until it actually goes through. Otherwise we run the risk of looking incredibly stupid.

I'd have absolutely no problem with starting at 7 if I woke up to an announcement. None whatsoever. In fact I hope it does get announced early one morning just to see how many people are committed to the celebratory piss up To be fair, despite my protestations, if this goes through I'm starting immediately, irrespective of the time of day.

Always glad when I wake up and it's not announced, because I'm not sure I could start drinking this early!

Sure I read they do fuck all on Fridays n'al. Lazy bastards. To be brutally honest, it's almost impossible to get anyone to work on any day of the week out there. If you send them for a 15 minute break, you need to GPS tag first them because they could be gone for hours. But officially, their days off are Friday and Saturday. Friday is their holy day, and there's not a hope in hell of getting any of them to do anything then. Think about if you asked someone to work Christmas Day in the UK, but have that mentality 52 times a year. Saturday they're a bit more relaxed. Sunday to Thursday are a normal working days.

The passage of time without good news, and our own unmatched ability to repeatedly snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?
