Yeah, that's me too. Plus I have obligatory support of England and Australia. I kinda think the US should back England this time round. We now have a legit royal hook-up, plus our team is full of mediocre cloggers too. Might have gone that route if Lascelles and/or Shelvey had made the squad, but alas...

Planning to watch some of the World Cup with a friend whose family is from Belgium, so I guess them?

How come ? She's been involved in the sale of one club and never ran one, Ashley has owned one for years She has to have some in depth knowledge re football industry to act as a middleman in the Man City takeover. And the fact that Rafa is her mate adds further credibility. Ashley problem is he didn't have the knowledge beforehand, and he refused to adapt to this industry. He was trying to do his own way by running the club like his SD and failed. And, what's even worse, is the people he wrongly trusted are pure shits. On the other hand, as long as Amanda listens to Rafa, we simply can't fail. Really no downside from my perspective even if Amanda is purely buying for future profits. This is really the one thing that makes me confident that PCP would be better than Ashley. Admittedly, there couldn't be a lower hurdle to clear. But Staveley already being acquainted with Rafa and his public comment about having a second set of January transfer targets would suggest that she's willing to trust his judgment when it comes to the squad and that her group is prepared to spend accordingly.

Pulisic playing on an Allardyce-managed team

All of this. It's weird to wave the flag nowadays with all that's become attached to it. To even need something out of final day of qualifying with all of the resources in the US, with a player as talented as Pulisic in the fold, against the general level of competition in CONCACAF is pretty embarrassing. Definitely feel bad for Yedlin, though.

Somehow we're going to end up with Pardew, aren't we? All the talk about the NFL, etc. I'm happy Klinsmann's gone, but a little scared about what happens next.

You know the Sounders or someone are going to steal it and make it absolutely intolerable.

Well, that was unexpected! http://i.imgur.com/dUcpDQl.gif

we don't win anymore, he's going to make Newcastle great again. Going to do the best deals, we're going to be huge. That deal for Shelvey? Worst deal in history. We're going to get the right people in to do the best deals. Sounds like we're going to bring Messi in and make Barca pay for it.

Playing the long game so that he can eventually start blaming science for his losses again.

And mentioning a couple different times about the first objective being a win on Monday. None of this Pardew "maybe we can scrape one against Morecambe" nonsense.

Probably took one look at the goal Elliot allowed against Stoke and nope octopus-ed away in horror.

From the Sun article: And somehow he could be interested. Worst "pals" ever.
