  1. These past few posts are the main reason I want Austin to sign for NUFC tbf. All the WWE puns and gifs on here would easily be worth the 15m imho.

    Yeah, football contracts are guaranteed over here too. I don't get how it came to this, since it means people can just scratch their balls on the back of a multi-year multi-million contract that has to be paid in full no matter what. I wish I had that in my job too.

    Still can't wrap my head around Carver et al being awarded 8 year contracts back in the time, with no escape clauses.
  4. Just noticed that Spain is playing in this, our first time ever in a WC. We drew against Costa Rica yesterday.
  5. After tying up contract extensions yesterday, our board has quit today as a prerequisite for the election to take place. The exact date will probably be announced this evening. Sadly, after the season we've had, the useless fuckers will be re-elected.
  6. To your mob perhaps, or might he be Reals marquee this year? In fact will they do a marquee this year? I don't think he will go to either. Real Madrid will do marquee, worry not. My bet is one of Verratti, Agüero or Pogba. Maybe even several. There's always DeGea of course for them. Chelsea for Griezzman then maybe, Citeh at a push. Yeah, he's linked with Chelsea, as per usual.

  8. Vietto and Griezmann occupy the same areas in the pitch. I suspect the Frenchman might be off.
  9. Yup. This is my understanding. He was laughed at as England manager and Indon't think anyone takes the Dutch title seriously. He's coming in with a chip on his shoulder. He's got a point to prove. Well, I do. You don't need to rate the remainder of his career, but that was an outstanding achievement for a team like Twente.

    Is Woodman jr. really any good? Honest question.
  11. I like Ayew a lot too. Glad to see him in a league I can follow easily.

    Oh look at me, I rest my drinks on articles about how great we are. No need to cherish the moment, it's just another Tuesday round my way. I knew you would bite

    Blatantly holding out for compo from Crystal Palace.

    I wonder who made the calls this time?
  17. It's the only way; you can't have the previous manager - who very much wanted the job - demoted and made the new guy's assistant. It's an awkward situation for everybody involved. Pay him up and kick him out.
  18. Luís Enrique extends his contract until 2017. Great news.
  19. That and probably because they don't want to be stuck until January with Montoya or Douglas Yeah, that's the right answer. Personally I think this season has been his swan song, but we had little choice given our transfer ban.
  20. I'm gonna hate it so much when he becomes shit/retires. Football won't be the same. It will be like being in your forties and happily married with children, yet unable to forget the time you dated the most beautiful girl in the world.
  21. Yep. I was fearing Bielsa to West Ham, Carver to us and Sunderland to get someone decent. None of those have happened To be honest Bielsa is a manager I would love to have in my league but not managing my team. Amazing personality and playing style, but things seem to unravel rather quickly for him.
  22. Neymar has been instructed to be more selfish. Last year he was always looking for Messi and it didn't work.
  23. Can't say I know anything about him as a manager. Wikipedia doesn't make him look too impressive but it's certainly not the best way to evaluate a manager.
