He started in place of Tiote. And, for the record, we were losing 1-0 before they had their second player dismissed. So yeah, he tore apart 9 man Stoke. I'm sure there are better games to make the point you're making. Weird thing to pull him up on tbh

The article says that Pardew didn’t play him because Colo said the whole team would refuse to play if he put Ben Arfa in the 11, because apparently he wasn’t a team player. Fuck that, I’d have built my whole team around Ben Arfa and benched Colo. He wanted to leave anyway. Edit: And also fuck Pardew.

There were rumours at the time that Colo and Shola had turned on him. I went right off Colo about then.

You should be banned from this forum for playing people feelings constantly. Eh? I’m one of the least of members who play people’s feelings and when I do spout s****, as tiresome as it may be, the older members will know at least not to take anything seriously enough and nor should anyone else. Anyway, if it doesn’t go through soon, I predict another takeover saga in January! I know you since your Hitzfeld for toon campaign. I use to respect you a lot but I think you lost the plot. This takeover really twists our hearts and feelings like no other. No one knows when it could or not end in anyway or another. So better not wind people up and get reaction you know better. Get a grip of yourself man. This bloke (the judge) is a complete asshole and wind up merchant. As he says, just put on ignore or block. I personally love to see him squirm when he is massively wrong (most of the time). Ask him any question on NUFC and he is stumped. Mackem through and through. What you got planned this weekend mate?

Come on man, we don’t need this kind of stuff any more.

Hoofing isn’t just when you are under pressure. Hoofing is a PFM staple tactic of ‘hoof it up to the big lad’ when you don’t have any other tactics or subtlety.

Absolutely

Adam Armstrong?? Much lolz

That shit ain’t funny He should really hold on to his info and tell everyone that he knew about it after it's happened. I see what you did there

Buy? With actual money? Can’t see that happening. Will be a loan if anything. Wonder what Joselu is up to?

And the circus rumbles on

Virgins tbh

such bullshit

May as well bring Pardew, Kinnear, Wise and Dekka back and be done with it. Maybe drill another bore hole and rename the stadium. Honestly couldn’t give a fuck any more. Oh and stick another dead pigeon in there to rot for another 3 years while they’re at it. Show replays on a 23’ monitor nailed up on one of the stands. Fucks sake.

Okkkkkkkk

It’s so crazy how we’ve twice missed out on being the richest club in the PL Hopefully lightning does strike 3 times

Man City really should have their approval rescinded in light of the PL's about turn with Newcastle. By all means the bin Zayeds can continue to own the club, just don't allow City to play in the Premier. If PIF try and mirror the city model, taking piracy out of the equation it would be very difficult for them to justify blocking it on ownership structure alone. I wouldn’t be surprised if they working on something like this now, or changing percentages. I think PIF have long forgotten about Newcastle. As Mark Douglas has confirmed they’ll be back like a shot if the deal can proceed. Isn't the ball in their court though? It'll therefore only proceed if they actively do something. As far as I can see, the PL have concluded that MBS has ultimate control and influence over PIF so they wanted him to go through the O&D test. As de facto head of state of Saudi Arabia he understandably didn’t want to go through that as its not befitting of a monarch to be put to a test. The result is an impasse and PIF withdrew. Nothing will happen unless either the PL or MBS change their stance. Which they won’t.

I think ‘knocking the door down‘ is just Bruce and Charners staring at the phone and going ‘You ring him‘ ‘No, you ring him!’

Ooooooooh excited

No. PCP had nothing to do with BZG

At least Reuters still knows how to do proper investigative journalism. The state of our journalists man..

Yeah and maybe they can find a cure for Covid 19 once they’re finished with your list. Fucking hell.

Where’s Luuk de Jong?

There is no way MBS will subject himself to the PL’s O&D test. It’ll be an insult to him and there’s no way he will subject himself to a test he could fail. Too much loss of face.

If we’re not getting PIF then I’d give Redball a go too. Much better option than any of these vapour consortia like Mauriss and Chopra’s bunch of clowns.
