  1. Aye. Best of a bad bunch. Was never a threat. As terrible as ever, just happened he was most involved, or basically only player involved in their half. Aye. Looked okay because he was naturally more involved because we we're playing absolutely shit opposition. Even then he barely threatened.
  2. Its funny the way some people are unwavering in their positivity. The club lose a high court case and it absolutely, must be part of a grand strategy, and losing a high court case is exactly what they wanted. That might be the case, or De Marco et al. may have genuinely wanted to remove him as a chair.
  3. This is the key, always has been. MBS chairman, deal with state owned companies, .gov address and a board made up of ministers but not a separate entity to KSA. Alright, good luck proving that.
  4. Since when can you switch international allegiance when already capped? Edit: Since last year apparently https://www.forbes.com/sites/steveprice/2020/09/19/fifa-eligibility-rule-change-offers-world-cup-hopes-for-one-cap-wonders/?sh=6730e9eb511e
  5. His position is clearly untenable.
  6. Biggest game of the season thus far. Absolutely need a win. A draw is bad. A loss is a disaster.
  7. Great that like, love stories like this. Long for the days of Europe again. Only ever managed to do that Bruges away trip which was tremendous, I think a load of folk from on here went over too. When we qualified under Roeder I think it was taken for granted somewhat. I dont think many would have thought we'd only qualify once more. The Palermo victory under Roeder was great. Injuries forcing im to start Krul and Luque up top on his own, while they were near the top of Serie A iirc. What a result.
  8. Its a bloke called Burnsie who is frankly, not all there. Has multiple twitter accounts which all interact with each other pretending to be individuals. He probably has several accounts on here too.
  9. Manager during the period I first properly started going to games off my own accord, always a special time. Nice tribute from Pearson. RIP.
  10. We're fucked. Watching them now, I think Fulham have turned the corner like. 9.
  11. Not technically a pundit but I don't mind Jonathan Pearce like
  12. They'll score from a cross. So obvious. Our full backs are so bad.
  13. Krafth is so substandard like. Just not up to it.
  14. Probably the thickest player ever to play for us. Incredible quotes.
  15. Not to start going around in circles again but the takeover was never rejected. That's the whole issue with this sorry saga. The PL have allowed this to drag on by not laying their own laws down and putting an end to it. I keep saying the same thing to some of the knackers on here. The Premier League neither rejected or accepted the takeover. They did f#ck all. That's the whole point of Ashley taking them to task. Because Masters and his mates REFUSED to make a decision without any given reason. Who says thats even the process? I think, in order to approve the sale the PL asked PIF to provide 'XYZ' in relation to MBS and PIF and PIF failed to do so. As such, the sale was never approved, but as the PL didnt receive 'XYZ' they didn't have grounds to reject it either. As far as I can see, despite bluster, buyer confidence and loads of bread, the situation hasn't changed one single bit in about a year. Until PIF can demonstrate that they're a separate entity from KSA the sale will remain unapproved. Whether De Marco can go some way to prove that, remains to be seen. He'll need to be a miracle worker to be able to deny what seems very much blatant.
  16. This is as dead as a dodo, despite what the mentalists on here say. PIF is not a separate entity to KSA. MBS is the fucking chairman for fucks sake. Thats the grounds on which the takeover has been rejected and thats the grounds on which the takeover will continue to not be approved. EDIT: fwiw, I find absolutely no joy in this whatsoever as NUFC are as good as dead without it.
  17. I dont trust Ben Jacobs one bit. I dont think he's got any inside information and most of what he says is conjecture, opinion and already released information. He's blatantly seen an opportunity to raise his profile and he's going to wring it out until its dry.
  18. Then why do people keep saying this in the first place? News by Christmas, positive developments in January, should hear positive news at the end of February/start of March, now no wait, it wont be until Summer. Im sure folk coming out with this have the best of intentions, whether thats ITKs or journalists, but its hardly surprising when these dates sail by with barely a mention of any news people start calling bullshit. I'm sure everyone by this point fully appreciates how complex and drawn out these things are like.
