Worse than Riviere. There, I said it.

Joelinton man, christ

Cheat. RIP.

Surely Man City must be worse off? One place above us We're only 1 place below Man City? Good job Bruce. You'd have taken that after 9 games at the start of the season like

It took for post 18 in this thread for someone to suggest that the football team you support has little to no bearing on your ability to perform well at work.

Had forgotten about Bentaleb. Was absolute shite like.

I'm tired of joining the dots. I'm tired of the hints, winks and nudges for nothing to happen. Im fucking bored of the cryptic messages. They should all keep their mouths shut unless something really is happening. They know fine well people are hanging on their every word and its both irresponsible and unprofessional to infer things that potentially aren't true.

Plenty of that goes on like. Probably not acceptable in 2020 and he'll get a ban like that Rugby bloke did. Not really as out of the ordinary as that exaggerated tweet is suggesting.

Wasn't it all a ploy to get Rooney the money he wanted and financially struggling Everton the fee they wanted? Freddy Shepherd was best man at Rooney agents' (Paul Stretford) wedding and Im sure Rooney and Shepherd himself ended up being close.

Are the PL able to reject arbitration? If not, how long would the process be likely to take, are we talking months or years here? Didnt they already offer independent arbitration that would have taken 2 years or so?

In a way, its fair annoying seeing the club pursue this with such drive. If Mike Ashley had only displayed this amount of tenacity and vigour when it came to running the club he supposedly supported all his life then the last decade may not have been so dire. Its basically the only thing I've ever seen the club under MA put any of the required effort in to in order to be successful.

Luke Edwards is a fucking doyle but I must say, I've rarely disagreed with anything Sean has posted in this thread like. It seems like anyone who is not 'glass half full' regarding any takeover is tarred as not wanting it to happen. Thats certainly not the case for me but I don't think we're anywhere near this happening. The latest efforts do seem like Mike Ashley is trying to desperately find some shaky ground on why the takeover was rejected allowing PIF to find a way back in. It seems the PL are confident in their lack of approval though.

Its not working out because Bruce is absolutely fucking clueless thats why. He's one of our best players clearly. He'll be off and it'll suit both parties. He can go and play for a side that isnt just about defending and trying to fluke a goal on the break and it'll free up a space for Bruce to bring in some clogger more suited to his turgid 'brand' of football.

He's got me blocked. Whats he prattling on about now?

I'm here too. I don't think what Luke Edwards has posted on here under his most recent guise is particularly wrong like. There's a small chance some meaningful progress is being made in the background but we've yet to see any real evidence of that outside of a few ITK's passing on what they've heard with the best of intentions. I think anyone believing that this deal is anywhere near being concluded is deluding themselves though. Not sure how you know that, as we are all 'hearing nothing', which is how it should be. The deal is just as likely to be agreed tomorrow as it is in December or March. The news, when it comes, will come out-of-the-blue. Or it wont come at all, which is by far the most likely scenario given how its played out so far.

Don't hear much from him these days, I'd forgotten how much of a wanker he was.

That list includes people who've led sides to multiple cup finals, not sure they're all the worst in history. Marcelo Lippi who has won 5 league titles, a Champions League and a World cup amongst other things is the 11th worst manager of all time apparently. Five of ours made the list.

He's our best player but he's not a No10. He's at his best on the left/right of a front 3 behind a lone striker. If we play 532 there's no real position for him as the wingbacks get forward a lot more, yet he's too good to leave out.

The Nigel Person one was the strangest like. Such a bizzare bloke
