I can't get over the weight machine being used as a dance prop Tony Adams is too giddy for me, Clive.

Will the FA Cup have an impact on gameweeks? Seem cheated with this unlimited transfers stuff - had all my chips still to play in anticipation of 3/4 double gameweeks pre lockdown The only midweeks free from PL action immediately follow the FA Cup, so the games in hand will probably be played later in that same Gameweek. And yeah, I'm not a fan of the unlimited transfers either.

Greg[/member] is a legend so I'm not having a go..... but I really wonder what has gone wrong (if anything) since this day of supreme confidence

So much pessimism from that ok article

Loving this festival of football. Hook the stadiums up with a soundboard, whack a mural over the seats. Boom.

"We're considering this" just sounds like customer service bullshit tbh, the type of thing said before no

Fair play to Chelsea there. Wow.

It's a shame to lose a homegrown lad for pennies but, as a player, he's 4th/5th choice in one of our weakest positions. Hopefully it doesn't become an Mbabu.

It does feel like every week, the updates are going backwards. That Caulkin reply doesn't fill you with confidence tbh.

Fuck this thread and fuck this takeover.

Chapter Two released tomorrow.

Messi, Cristiano and Ronaldo are definitely the top three. After that.... any mix of Ronaldinho, Iniesta, Rivaldo etc. Zidane too, although I feel he was overrated because he showed up in a few big games, whilst Mbappe will soon be up there amongst the elite.

Midhat was the source btw

I've been told that it's imminent. Take that for what it's worth.

Is he into golf or nightclubs?

I'm still curious about what happened two Wednesdays ago. An announcement sounded imminent.

The Athletic did a recent piece on Beckham vs Greece and there's a backstory to why Nikopolidis didn't save that final free kick (Beckham had 8 shots that day). In the reverse fixture, Beckham confused him by scoring a free kick at the near post. It made Nikopolidis look silly, he was dropped for a few games yet recalled for this match. But that day's previous seven free kicks, plus the goal in Greece, were compared to cricket - a bowler toying with a batsman, creating doubt, then beating him with his classic ball. Therefore Nikopolidis took a step to the wrong side instead of anticipating the classic Beckham strike.

'Lie to Me' was a good show. They shouldn't have cancelled it.

Man Utd v Sheff Utd too?!?!?!

Feel a bit better compared to last night. I guess it makes sense that Saudi Arabia will bid as part of this agreement - another rich club for PL, plus they get a bidding war between the Saudis and Qataris. Maybe our lot can snitch on the inevitable Qatari attempt at piracy.

Chronicle: Premier League chiefs are not believed to have contacted Newcastle United's would-be owners to alert them of any complications regarding their takeover proposal. It is understood that the process with the Premier League remains in the latter stages and Amanda Staveley, the Reuben brothers and Saudia Arabia's Public Investment Fund are still hoping for approval. Fresh reports on Tuesday suggested that a 123-page document from the World Trade Organisation detailing links with the Saudia Arabia's government and pirate service beoutQ came into play this month. But top-flight bosses have been well briefed of all the factors surrounding the bid from the get-go, and as reported by the Chronicle last week, no red flags have emerged from the relevant criteria of the owner's and director's test which is still ongoing. The process is thought to be at the closing stages but the Premier League must consider every angle of the takeover.

Jordan Pickford and his small arms arriving at the golf club. I bet that's fun

Cheers for that Not sure whether to feel good, bad or nothing about it

That's where I'm at Like when you really don't want to give bad news and don't know how to do it.

Even if a completed takeover 'wouldnt be a surprise' or is still 'likely'....... that feels a long way back from where we were. Because we've basically been told for the last week that it's all done. I'm worried for the first time
