The world being truly rotten is still no reason to be cheering on the head of a murderous misogynist homophobic state visit, same as with those racist edl types i don't want hate to be welcome in st James park

...but how did they know he'd get a yellow card? Yes he is entitled to presumption of innocence so will wait but some people aren;t understanding why this is so bad

why not go full hog if queens funeral is a measure of great bloke and invite the grand prince of noncing prince andrew to st james park while we're at it then?

I suspect this shit goes on all the time. Paqueta may be the unfortunate stooge who actually takes a fall for it

Sigh, id find mbs at a match pretty horrible tbh.

As much as Howe loves his bright young English talent, Bruno and Joelinton are the beating hearts of this team. Their attitude is absolutely Howe's philosophy made manifest on the pitch, full of positivity but also hard nosed laser focused when needs to be. No selfishness.

Grealish is really good like. Gordon has looked really promising from preseason but still has to prove (not to knock, I hope he will) reliable end product. The talk about him being that level is a liiiittle premature but all signs are positive right now.

In fairness for off the pitch stuff only heard good things about Richarlison

If he can be proven he deliberately took a yellow card for bets then get him out the game. Toney wasn't accused of betting on own matches was he? Thats one thing, basially rigging matches even a little bit, no place for it. I mean still kinda silly racism gets less of a ban but can't have any tolerance for it.

TBH think Chelsea will be ok this season, will have some very good patches but the youth of the team will probably mean some poor showings too.

It's definitely reputation laundering tbh, and also an investment. I don't think they give a shit what a lot of people on the internet think, it's more just moving the dial on what is 'normal', so now they have us, it doesn't seem so strange them buying loads of golf stuff, and then when they buy lots of golf stuff "well we can't object to that since it's already happened to Newcastle" etc and is just a lever into further investment, so it works in terms of financial investment and also to help their reputation in terms of gaining more influence over UK and beyond. If some fanboys decide to start loving all things Saudi Arabia no harm there, and the flack they receive doesn't really affect them much. My feelings on the takeover have been posted endlessly before, I don't really understand why fans feel the need to go to bat for our owners online and the like, a lot of the criticisms are completely valid, and I would be critical if another club had been bought by them. I look forward to the day that sport as a whole is owned by and run for fans, but that day is a long long long way off if it ever happens, (it won't).

He was steadily improving last season and looked pretty handy. I would expect any price for a player with a long time left on contract to be rather inflated. West Ham may have every reason to believe his second season is going to be much better than his first and don't want to lose out on the added value that would bring.

When was the last buyback clause that actually got activated (at least a high profile one)? Seems pretty rare. Hopefully it's for an extortionate amount. Regardless I don't doubt should he get bought back one day we'll just sign someone else. I think everyone has this Ashley era anxiety about losing players as if it's the old days when a sale meant no players for a position for 2 seasons

Indeed seems pretty reasonable considering the crazy prices there are

Will be funny if he stays and retires here

Fucking love our squad such good vibes

With a bit more time I am more open to this view, but I thought Wijnaldum did the bare minimum for us. In reality it was disfunction from top to bottom but I was really excited when he signed and that Norwich game aside never seemed like all that much.

Yeah that's weird, however you imagine they are telling everyone one by one they are about to sign a different player and then they'll see what name leaks

If he isn't sure if a midfielder or full back he could be one of the in trend ones that come into midfield then

Who knows with all the stuff around it, that tape was disgusting, if it was edited why is he still with her? I'd want that tape proven fabricated in a court of law of that was phony. Terrible message, terrible lack of consequences all round and most of all i hope the poor woman is ok.

Both sissoko and wijnaldum seemed to down tools very quickly. It felt particularly with gini he very rarely showed his quality and still got his dream move to champions League while we went down. I have more time for sissoko since he did a more reasonable stint and put in some good performances but that season we went down the squad was perfectly capable of being midtable if half of them had given a damn

Get in bring in Sunday!

fucking old trafford reffing lol one of the most clear cut penalties you will ever see

I thought they had changed it so ffp amortization could only go over 5 years maximum

I mean considering the contortions we are doing to fit within ffp we should be completely with them, it's just Liverpool ffs...
