Guess you never saw Ameobi play then
-
Would be very surprised. Executives get poached by headhunters for different companies every day. At best we get a hefty compensation. At worst we pay him for a year to do nothing, and that doesn't help us or Man U
-
Not quite the same thing there. I'm not saying he owes an apology to anyone but the NUFC managment, but you do hear most of the players saying something in the media one way or another...even if just a standard Chronicle puff piece. The only other player I can recall saying less is Schar

Please be Gerrard, please be Gerrard, please be Gerrard

The total lack of any kind of public comment from him (not his agent) since the ban was announced
-
Never seen anything with as bad luck as this? How about getting taken over by the tightest billionaire in the world, suffering two relegations due to basic incompetence? We've had far worse seasons, and luck has been a factor this season, but shouldn't gloss over some of the obvious mistakes that have been made on and off the pitch. Given our so called style, injuries should be realistically expected so will freely admit we were unlucky with Barnes. Tonalis issues should have been picked up so I don't see that as bad luck...either an oversight or incompetence in due diligence. Bringing in no cover for Isak or Wilson and letting Wood go knowing their records is bordering on stupidity
-
Agree...there will always be someone somewhere who finds fault no matter what he does.
-
He does deserve a second chance, but he's not been exactly forthcoming with with expressing regret or guilt. I dont realistcally see him playing for use again. Fully expect him to be back at Milan by summer, or on Starkiller base killing Han Solo
-
Bad luck used in for a decade in a season?....Clearly haven't been around NUFC for long. We are the MASTERS of "bad luck". A chance for glory comes our way and thers always a monumental f**k up that comes our way.
-
He'll not apologise, and will boast about how he has the best looking garden in the UK
-
No he doesn't deserve the hate...his stupidity has cost him playing for us, while Owen only ever wanted to be fit for England (a bit ironic given his Welsh heritage) and openly admitted he didn't want to be here in the first place. As far as I know Tonali hasn't....yet
-
Prepare to accept that he'll be serving the maximum the fa can can dish out...then Milan will come in with a 10m offer which we'll gratefully accept, then it'll turn out that Kylo has been betting on Milan while suspended and will be banned for eternity. Still beyond belief that someone as highly coveted as Ashworth didn't know about it
-
Unlikely situation, but maybe he's one of those that sees playing football as a job and little else. I doubt it, but if I was told I could take 6-9 months off on full pay I wouldn't be arguing.
-
Southgate was garbage at club level, but has done well with England....admittedly some of this is due to the fact that he's had the choice of the best bunch of English players I've seen in my lifetime. I'd still love to see the disaster he would make at Man U. It would be a thing of beauty for every non-Man U fan
-
As much as I thought (and still do) that Speed was great for us (apart from when he constantly shifted to left wing) I can't actually remember any of his goals. It pains me to say that my lasting memory of him was that sh** show against Marseilles
-
Sounds like Resident Evil or The Last of Us Plus he had time in Spain before so must have picked an inking of the language at least
-
I think it's difficult to argue against Big Jo. He's turned from a poor striker into a beast of a midfielder sort of the reverse to Alan Smith. He did this before Bruno came in, but has looked so much better with the undoubted class he brings to the side. Difficult to argue that Bruno hasn't been as good without Jo there too though
-
This has total balls up written all over it. More injuries, and a team that has flip flops on ready for holidays, and traditional Manager sound bites "there's still a lot to play for"....0-3 And given my record watch us pull in a 6-0 win
-
2032, suspended for 10 years as they co-operated
-
Well we've had a mid-table season with them, so is it just possible we could be over-rating them just a touch. Yes Isak has missed big chunks, but Brunos been pretty consistently available, just hasn't had the same impact this year as last. Not his fault admittedly due to what's been around him, but true greats drag others up to their level
-
It seems a stupid move from them tbh. "We've found our previous owners were dodgy so are reporting them now knowing we can be punished for their transgressions". Looks like they know they're going to get a punishment and are hoping for leniency because they actually reported it. If this Grankowsla (however its spelt) was so in with Abromovich as it sounds, why bring Chelsea into it at all...me smells some shenanigans that people wanted to make look legit
-
Well it wouldn't...ideally it would be great to have both, but if we can move Isak on, gain Toney for less than Isak goes for it improves us. Purely from the standpoint that isak does seem to be injury prone and can't be relied on to be fit for the next game no matter what. As good as he is he won't be seen as the real article till he can spend the majority of the season available and doesn't miss 4 games for every 3 he plays
-
This....and even Sheff Utd I'd be suspect in given that we're NUFC.
-
I'm no flag worshipper or anything, but I don't understand why any designer would change the colours of a national teams flag and try to promote it as something wonderful and revolutionary. Cant imagine there's too many national FAs that would even consider it. Could you see Germany allowing pink stripes between the red, black and gold to show their LGBT tolerance, or Scotland changing their blue to slate grey to reflect their normal weather, or Ireland just displaying a pint of Guinness? Daft idea and is clearly change just for the sake of change

Used to get a pie at the start of the match to keep hands warm until half time by then it had just cooled enough not to strip the skin off your mouth
