Maybe NUFC have just beaten all hope and optimism out of me over the last 38 years but I can't shake this horrible feeling we're going to mess it up. Logically and objectively I know we're likely to make it but this club has a habit of breaking your heart in new and unexpected ways.
Great piece from TF but I wouldn't say Rafa is 'on another level' to SBR. Different styles I think but i'd put Robson up there with Rafa in the top tier.
I've also been itching to see us play with two up top at points this season simply because we don't really have anyone who can do a decent job in the #10 role. We could easily keep the same formation (ish) and have Mitro or the Murph playing off Gayle.
Not booking the full transfer fees this season does allow us to make a loss which we can carry over to decrease our tax bill for the next few years iirc.
Hey, it's my birthday the day after! What are the chances?
About 1 in 365, iirc.
1 in 133,225 isn't it? 1 in 365 for each of their birthdays to fall on any one day and 1 in (365 x 365) for them to be consecutive.
wasnt Marco hinting last night,( not sure only heard it in background) that they could go into administration, and fall further down the leagues?
Does that £20m include the new TV deal?
Maybe they just thought he'd get the shit kicked out of him in this league. There'd be a public inquiry, coroner's reports etc, bits of Dutch bloke all over the pitch that'd be a nightmare to clean up. Best send him to the football equivalent of drama camp for a season.
