it's like fucking rag week in here at the minute like

I think after the likes of Pardew, Kinnear, McClaren, Bruce, Carver etc. I'd be elated with any ambitious and well thought through appointment who got the job on merit, be it Rafa or someone else.

Kept thinking the deal was announced and it had crashed the forum

Alex Bruce should be willing it to happen, when his fat headed da gets the tin tack and pitches up at some lower league nobody team he'll have a contract and a spot at centre half nailed down.

Heart says Rafa, head says Poch. There's a small bit of devil in me that is saying Mourinho too, even though I know it would end in tears after a few seasons.

one gold star to Disco.

Imagine Brucie given the Saudi millions. £70m double swoop for James Chester and Ahmed Elmohamady.

Which player has played for four different Premier League winning clubs but has never won the title himself?

Hope his plane gets ambushed by angry fans at Newcastle Airport as he leaves. "There he is, seat 3F"

I'd love to see what Rafa could do with us given a "long blanket" like.

Hope the big guy returns if/when the party starts Yeah me too. It'd be nice to see Dave back as well.

Post-lockdown, I'd like to see thousands of fans wearing tea-towels and Mandy masks converge upon St James Park on a sunny day, erect a giant Sports Direct emblazoned wicker man containing effigies of Ashley, Charnley, Pardew, Bruce, Wise, Kinnear and every other awful cunt we've suffered, and set light to it whilst the Saudi national anthem plays in the background.

"Formal announcement due" fucking hell don't

Please, please let this be the one.

Anyone able to post the Telegraph article in full?

Not sure I'd be comfortable with Voldemort being involved tbh. He plays centre mid, has done for a few years now.

People will have forgotten about him within a few months if the takeover happens and he gets rightly punted. He'll crawl back to another mid table Championship job where he belongs and that will be that.

Aye, what he failed to realise was that being a cunt to your staff every minute of the day will inevitably have them clock-watching and refusing to go "above and beyond" one iota.

...but Glenn Roeder is still Easyjetting over to Holland to watch Dirk Kuyt

Two words - Chris Feather.

It would be peak Ashley to finally allow the takeover to happen but at a time when we can't go out to celebrate it.

Had £5 on. Reinvested £5 of that on Falcao first at 5/1.

He was a bellend. I remember he tried to mock the away fans once cos they didn’t sell out. It was proper tacky. He said "did you lot come in a fucking taxi" to the Pompey fans didn't he?

Had his house ransaaced.
