Fuck it, I'm getting drink tonight.

I've already told my boss last summer that I don't care where I am or what I'm doing, or what time of day it is, if this takeover goes through I'm immediately going for a pint, and I'll deal with the consequences later.

Michael Knighton was trying to take over Man U, and when he got very close he appeared on the pitch in their strip before a match, juggling footballs and smacking them into the net. Michael Knighton is not and never has been Man U owner.

Yeah, because that's proof a takeover is done...

5 big clubs, plus Spurs.

The heat death of the universe will happen in days - Just quite a lot of them.

This is exactly where I am. I refuse to even contemplate it being approved until it actually is. Until then, it's off and never happening. There is no middle ground.

Don't do this to me.

If KSA have done this as part of a $1bn arbitration case initiated by BeIN, it hardly sounds like a voluntary softening of their stance. Therefore I'd doubt if there'll be much of a knock-on impact to the takeover.

We didn't give their keeper many saves to make either, so not exactly sure what he's whining about. BBC says they had 3 shots on target to our 2. Yet again, for about the 100th game in a row, the opposition had more possession than us.

Thirty years? I think you're underestimating Brexit - We've already got the scarce food and little to no hope.

Surely even Ashley can see how alarmingly fast we're going backwards under cabbage head? We're plummeting like a rock and it's not going to get any better if we stick with him. Which is what pisses me off when media people compare our last two managers' records... Rafa took over a shit team and made them gradually better, Bruce has taken over a good team and made them gradually worse. To then say "but they did about the same overall" completely ignores the respective trajectories of their tenures.

Must be why the takeover has sailed through. Thanks for explaining it.

I've been saying it for 2 years, but they don't need evidence. Read the PL's own rules, they just need reasonable suspicion.

He's now spending 5 minutes talking about how he needs to speed up.

PL are late because they're running round all the cashpoints trying to max out their daily withdrawal limit for a bung.

They won't announce a delay on Wednesday. Instead there'll be a delay announcing the delay, and the delay will be delayed until later.

According to Google, no. https://www.google.com/search?q=newcastle+v+bournemouth&rlz=1C1CHBF_en-GBGR965GR965&oq=newcastle+v+bournemouth&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30l9.3234j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#sie=m;/g/11hyk2h_v4;2;/m/02_tc;dt;fp;1;; We had 45% possession that night, and 12 shots on goal to their 12. They had more passes, and better passing accuracy than us too.

Has anyone got any stats on how often we've had more than 50% possession in a game since Bruce took over? I can't recall ever seeing it, in any match. I can't even remember what it's like to outplay another team.

I think it has recently become the leading cause of death in the UK, so it's not really surprising so many are affected. I suppose it is inevitable - you keep finding treatments for other things like heart disease and cancer, and this is all that's left to take you. It's a horrible disease though, and despite my flippant comments on the last page I obviously wish JK and his family all the best through this.

I very, VERY deliberately said "probably".

On the plus side. it probably puts an end to any possibility of us re-hiring him.

Quite the reverse: The PL are very determined to fuck hundreds of thousands of us in the arse.

Got to factor in too that for assists he's playing balls into Joelinton. Can you imagine if he could pass to someone who could shoot competently?

ASM so far ahead of the rest of our side its embarrassing. Joelinton so far behind the rest of our side its embarrassing.
