  1. Ben Jacobs says Almiron to Al Shabab.
  2. Surely it won't be announced until 1 July at the earliest - a quick google shows whilst the window slammed open on 14 June 2023 this is for domestic transfers only - international transfers from 1 July 2023. Edit - Serie A window remains slammed shut until 1 July as well. Don't run your transfer baths for another *8* days. Apologies if I've misinterpreted anything - happy to be corrected.
  3. Honestly, I don't think it's a bad lineup considering the opponents. Gordon and Miggy will be pressing with high energy. This isn't the game for ASM, who I think would be frustrating, if he started. Maybe against tired legs he can come on as a sub and contribute. Wilson might be out of form, but I think he's just a bit tougher than Isak and obviously more experienced against City. Lascelles is a straight swap, we'll see how he gets on. I'm relatively confident, tbh. Wouldn't be surprised if we nicked a result, but expect a draw, or a loss by a small margin. Watch it be 5-0 now I've said that.
  4. I'll just leave this here. Capt Steak Bakes features heavily. Great twitter acct by the way.
  5. Not sure what happened for you on Sunday, but I managed to stay top when everything finished updating. Had a lucky few weeks. Edit - just realised there's more than one forum league. But... why? Edit 2 - I'd be 7th in the newer one. That's deflating. Well done on 1001!
  6. Late goal for Liverpool & a _very_ late one for Brighton.
  7. I saw this on the r/NUFC subreddit. I'm on mobile and just copy-pasting, so god knows what the formatting will be like. Anyway - it's Bournemouth fan u/machdel talking about Howe's transfers. Did a quick search. Sorry if Giggs.
  8. Would be delighted. I am concerned that we just don't have the midfield or defence for that, even if Schär is used. Wish we still had Lejeune. If he peddles himself to us hopefully players buy into him quickly and some results can be scraped before essential recruitment in January.
  9. Funny this week! Wor Mandy's face is spot on! He has dipped overall. I remember creasing in the early days - some more recent strips haven't been laugh out loud, for sure. Last week seemed, well, a bit Guardian-y, as if his editor encouraged him heavily. Even if that isn't the case, he's well within his rights to put something like that up, even if he over-egged the pudding, so to speak.
  10. When we got beat off Derby - quite easily - in the only game they won that season, eventually getting relegated with a grand total of 11 points. I was sat behind the goal when Kenny Miller scored. Got back to my car to find I'd got a parking ticket. A relatively early low point in the Ashely regime. Largely downhill from there on in.
  11. There's no way it'll be tomorrow - it is KSA's holy day. It's today or Sunday/Monday.
  12. Yes, I've heard it's lovely ...
  13. Saudi plane has just landed in Monaco, hasn't it?
  14. Someone on the r/NUFC subreddit says his mate did it on the side of "an abandoned building in Durham countryside" and then posted it to FB alongside the King Curtis video.
  15. A Twitter random. Ignore. He's employed at a place that has previously acted for Staveley in a court case. Not that this means he is in any way ITK, but he works with people who possibly may know more than some others. Whether he's hinting at stuff he's heard which is just "office gossip", I don't know. He hasn't made his employment public, and he hasn't said why he's saying this, or how he would be aware of any of this. But as a random Chelsea fan account, he doesn't fit the profile of your standard Twitter ITK (i.e. not in any way ITK, just passing off hundreds of made up bits of bullshit as you-heard-it-here-first "facts"). In my opinion, it's unlikely he or his sources have the inside track on whether we'll be sold. But it's certain that he has a professional involvement with people who have directly acted for Staveley in a legal capacity. What he is saying is interesting, and he shouldn't be dismissed as yet another Twitter attention seeker. But whether what he is passing on actually transpires, or just turns out to be chambers gossip - who knows. Only time will tell.
  16. If it is through ARAMCO we will experience the same problems as PIF because ARAMCO is owned 100% by the Saudi government. It's listed on the Saudi stock exchange now. Most valuable company in the world I believe. I assume the Saudi Government own a large % of it but presumably not all as it can be publically traded. I got the impression that his Aramco comment was more in relation to getting around FFP with them as Man City style sponsors, rather than outright purchasers/replacing PIF. I think that is his own interpretation in response to someone else mentioning it would take time to build a good team even in the event of a takeover because of FFP.
  17. He hasn't been doxxed, and I don't think it would be easy to replicate this as I haven't been that explicit regarding the method. I'll edit anyway. Jeez...
  18. Edited post. So... I found out through some internet sleuthing, that the owner of this Twitter account works in a barrister's chambers with connections to Amanda Staveley. There's definitely a reason the person behind this Twitter account would potentially have heard something. Whether this stems from careless conjecture/office gossip, or comes from Staveley's confidence (which seems to be a driving force for rumours), or is completely fabricated... who knows. But, given the lad's employer/colleagues, there's is definitely the potential for him to have heard something very few others would have heard, which makes me feel somewhat more positive and optimistic. Feel free to dismiss or get ludicrously excited - it's up to you. I'm going to bed, as this kept me up longer than I really wanted it to.
  19. That's a hell of a spot like Gyles Brandreth would be proud. Only bettered by the Virginia Bottomley one tbh Surely the David Ginola anagram is in there with a shout as well? Vagina Dildo...
