He’s been playing for Burnley, so Steve won’t have to worry about any technical nonsense like ball control or passing.

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.

This seems to me the obvious response to the morality argument when questioned by the press. Say it's fair enough if the premier league and it's members are going to put down a marker and be an ethical league going forward, no longer dealing with human rights abusers and companies owned by human rights abusers. But that's not going to happen is it? Wraith didn't even really criticise the premier league, even when talking to a presenter that didn't seem to understand the basics, and then gave the Saudi's the "great bunch of lads" treatment.

I’ve never listened to Wraith before, he’s really not very good. He’s just been defending the Saudi state, number 1 rule should be to avoid doing that.

For me it comes down to whether it has resulted in less bad decisions, and I think the answer is clearly yes it has. The problem is the same incompetents that failed to officiate games before VAR are in charge of it. Giving up on it after one season would be a big step backwards IMO.

I suppose that means he finally put 5 minutes aside to google the man and his company.

I reckon if you became a regular at The Den they'd think you're an undercover guardian journalist.

I’ve nothing but disdain for people that are still going to give the club their money.

Wait they aren't real? Only the emails from heffers are real unfortunately.

I hope people don’t actually get sucked in by talk of other bidders. It’s about as convincing as an email from a random Russian model looking for a husband.

On the bright side this means I’m not going to be sucked back into caring about this rigged sport. Watch that conman Mauriss takeover and turn Newcastle into a lower league club.

Surely clubs change their management structure every now and then, do they always have to run it through a long check by the premier league?

Not sure how Everton squeezed into that little group.

Refs had a disaster there.

Grealish is possibly the worst diver I’ve ever seen, he makes Arjen Robben look sturdy.

The world will be a fun place when China is the dominant superpower.

Oooh Gary is not happy with Pogba. Souness will be doing cartwheels.

What a nothing season. I can’t even take pleasure in seeing Villa get relegated.

The crowd is demanding even when there’s no fucking crowd. I think Souness’ time here gave him PTSD.

A contender for one of the worst games I’ve ever seen.

That was barely identifiable as football.

Fucking hell. De Gea has had some drop off over the last couple of years.

Yeah he should’ve blocked that.

Lovely fuck up from Van Dijk.

It’s another example of why Bruce isn’t suited to being manager after a takeover, if he thinks expectations are high now (when really nothing is expected of him), how will he handle being expected to push up the table? Rafa has the opposite mentality, he WANTED higher expectations.
