Sho Time

He's competent in comparison to someone like Sels or Jak Alnwick, but really isn't inspiring any confidence. He's too erratic to be relied upon but unfortunately he's our best option right now.

He's shit. Makes routine saves look spectacular, incompetent at catching the ball first time and looks like Mats Sels gave him lessons on how to palm the ball back into the danger area. Can't wait till Dubs is back. Darlow is probably about Pickford level.

I enjoy watching them. Think the only dross in there is WBA, Fulham, Sheff Utd, Burnley & us. +West Ham - I think they will go down this season with WBA and Fulham.

Can't even fucking head a ball nowadays. Absolute waste.

Don't get the 'play him in his position' stuff. He's played behind the striker before with Carroll and was awful. Bruce doesn't play the same kind of football as what was played at Hoffenheim when he was there - different players, different league. Sticking him in a position he's more familiar with helps nobody unless we're going to play to his strengths which clearly Hoffenheim did.

Weeeeewwwww James

Trossard is a cracking player. Really good strike that.

Seen Neymar has accused Alvaro Gonzales of racially abusing him hence his reaction in the game last night. I genuinely think he's full of shit tbh, if that was the case why wouldn't he kick off and go berserk to the player/referee in the moment, instead he was just trying to get some sly digs in and trying to justify it now he's been caught. He's an absolute fucking shithouse.

And player development. Actually scratch that, people would have you believe he single-handedly developed Harry Maguire and Andy Robertson... 2 players in a 22 year career. That I think he managed for 1 season? 2 max?

Utterly stupid. However I will take the 'advantage' that is available to every other player.

Coz he’s a really good journalist and also your post isn’t even all that accurate. He was told it was close by his source and if we believe AS they (the buyers) were told it was close until something changed within the PL. How caulkin gets shit for reporting what he’s told by probably staveley herself I’ve no idea. buyers get fucked over by the PL who have given the info to Caulkin direct, now all of a sudden George is no longer credible.

This is critical to their vision 2030. Not a chance that if this is revived PIF aren't the majority shareholders.

Record breaker against Pompey for sure. Atmosphere was unbelievable.

Paisley city top is class, kinda get the comment saying it looks like a coronavirus tribute mind.

What would happen if we were relegated and then were no longer subject to the PL O&D tests? Could PIF theoretically then takeover with the EFL as the governing body and then should we be promoted, there's fuck all the PL can do about it?

Sensible post but one key flaw to your reasoning, they don’t have the confidence to stand by their determination, because if they did they would have rejected it. I'd be getting in to uneducated guesses to explain it but maybe if SA agreed to legally broadcast BeIn for the agreed contract period in MENA, compensated whoever needed compensated for the previous however many years of piracy and shut everything down and fell in line with what is currently law, they'd potentially have allowed it. Because then the ties to the state wouldn't also come with the crimes. Saudis said nah, pulled out. Saudi Arabia have stolen from the PL. We all know it. However there's absolutely nothing to prove it. Saudi's compensating BeIN would be almost an admission of guilt. As was pointed out, if the PL were confident in their rationale they would have rejected the takeover outright.

IIRC looks like the kit we had when McClaren was in charge. Hello relegation next season.

They had some right players too...Tristan, Mackaay, Luque, Naybet, Arriaga, Barriaga , Missed out valeron and rivaldo Jorge Andrade and Colo as well.

God knows what I think about this. All I know is if it doesn't happen just ban my account for life and fuck what has become of NUFC, fuck the Premier League and fuck football. I'll be out for good and I won't look back.

Tuesday 4th August it's done.

Let's just shut up and stop melting our brains trying to make sense of this; just wait for it to happen or not before we go radge either way.

The difference could be that during this loan spell we have the option to buy for £6m, considering how well he's played it could be a steal. If we go in for him later chances are there is more competition and that price agreement is void so could end up costing a lot more. It's also the reason we signed HBA when he had such a serious injury.

I'm not as brave as Yorkie, but I am as stupid, so I put a fiver on.

I think Van Dijk has to be considered. TAA could possibly be in a few years too.
