Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum's dad was apparently interested in buying the club in 2008 but was put off by the £480m asking price. Even though they're vastly wealthy, they'll not be willing to just pay anything to get the deal done. Not indicating any of the above is true, but the Dubai royal family have clearly been looking to buy a premier league club for a while, and have reportedly been interested in us in the past. iirc he was put off by Ashley and his arsehole ways, don't think price was the issue. Another thing to add, the names on that list don't strike me as the kind of people that would share things, they'd want it all. Whoever sent that text just googled a few rich people from the middle east and cobbled them together without much thought.

Rafa wanted 20 points by the end of the year didn't he? A win against Brighton has us on 21 and denies them points which would be canny.

It's clearly nonsense, if those are the investors they would not care about the valuation or any clauses. They would pay whatever is needed to get the deal done, it's loose change for them.

Fully expect us to lose BUT the with today win take the edge off it, the Brighton game is the big one.

That's a canny finish, fair play to him

Maguire with a late equaliser, Mourinho's face is a picture

Hahaha, get in

Surely keeper has to do better

Ah right, I have Match Choice on record which is 30 mins highlights. If there was a GOTD I reckon ours would have been picked. There is a GOTD on Tuesday, the description says it's a best match from Saturday BUT reckon it will be one from Tuesday.

There isn't a GOTD on today from what I can see?

I hope so, want to enjoy the full 90 minutes. Just checked, there isn't a Game of the Day on today ?

So contact (foul) was originally made outside of the area then? It's not based on where the first contact was made, if it continues into the box it's a pen I need to see it again BUT I'm confident we wouldn't get that

I hope so, want to enjoy the full 90 minutes.

YES YES YES YES YES GET IN GET IN

Is it over?

What's going on? ?

Please just finish

Massive 5 minutes this, going to feel absolutely sick if we concede now

Didn't understand the sub, a few years ago he was great at holding the ball and winning free kicks, can't do that anymore. Should have been Murphy or Aarons

Yep, we need to employ the tactics that others do against us. Get players to go to the other side of the pitch then sub them off

Home side losing by a goal. Probably a good 5 minutes added on. It's definitely going to be 4-5 mins added time even if it's not justified

If/When West Ham equalise does that put us back into the bottom three?

Time is not even moving forward, this is going to feel like hours ??

I'd rather Murphy came on instead of Perez, think pace on the counter is what we need

Should bring Aarons/Murphy on for the counter attack
