  1. Because nobody watches us play
  2. Still pics can be very harsh
  3. Great finish with it bobbling
  4. This will surely almost definitely be the most amount of people to ever watch a Bournemouth game?
  5. Fantastic. Traore is outrageous
  6. Think the no crowds could help the more negative managers like Moyes. If West Ham were at home to Wolves normally, the fans would be going mad if they were sitting back this much
  7. Listening to football on the radio is shite anyway IMO
  8. Aye, awful bloke. Guy who walks out on his country days before a world cup lecturing players on commitment and professionalism
  9. Love me some Ever Banega Came on at HT. Last season in la Liga. Didn't know that. Made a crossfield left footed pass at one stage that was crazy
  10. Ter Stegen going up for a corner when drawing was a bit weird
  11. Soft but was never gonna be overturned
  12. Aye. The Dunphy school of punditry Questioning player's character >>>>>> tactical insight
  13. Thought you might have been exaggerating on Maguire but that's hilarious defending
  14. How quickly we forget that they tried to shut up Gary Neville for talking about it a few months ago
  15. Johnny Vegas - Mike Ashley Ross Kemp - Charnley Richard Keys would definitely play himself
  16. Not going to happen but fail to see how that would be amusing ? They will get involved, it’s just that we’ll never get to know about it or the level of their involvement. I’ve also wondered, if PIF as an investment vehicle, were taking over a steelworks or any UK business that employed 1000’s of workers whether those who object to our takeover, on moral grounds, would be making so much noise, I somehow don’t think they would. Football clubs are not like other businesses Don’t get this argument it’s exactly what they are these days. How would them owning a football club, differ from Qatar owning a media network, for example to pedal their soft power ? So when you walk into St. James' Park and roar on the team, there's no difference between that and going into Greggs to buy a sausage roll? Football clubs are for the community, in many cases the only thing which unites a community and the whole city of Newcastle or Sunderland or wherever is defined by the football club. You grow up dreaming of playing for Newcastle, your dad brings you to watch the game every second Saturday, then eventually you bring your own children, and your entire mood in a weekend is based on the result of the game. If Bein went out of business tomorrow nobody would really care, if PSG went out of business tomorrow there would be riots. That’s all very romantic and in an ideal world we’d all like the german model. However, the premier league is all about business, hence why so many people have fallen out of love with it. I get what your saying, but I don’t believe when we talk about the government getting involved, they’ll see it as anything other than a business transaction. Oh aye, agree on the second paragraph. Can't see the government doing anything about it

  19. Was it North Korea who tried to take 2 goalkeepers to the World Cup so they could have an extra outfielder, only to have to nominate some poor striker to be 3rd choice keeper and not be able to play outfield because of the way the rules were? I may have entirely dreamed that up but I'm sure it happened. Not 100% sure it was North Korea but it definitely happened
