Is her name not actually Karen?

Why is this so difficult for even the simplest to understand? If your're vaccinated, you're less likely to contract the disease (FACT), if you're less likely to contract it(FACT), you're less likely to pass it on (FACT). Benitez puts glasses away

The fact that Palace spent 18m on a player no-one has heard of shows how much we've been battered by MA over the years, or that as a fanbase we are stuck in the early to mid 2000's over how much counts as a lot of money. 6m in 2007 might get a semi-competent defender, 18m at that time gets you one of the better non-elite defenders. I do wonder if there's still a lingering thought/feeling among us that 15 million (Shearer) is what it takes to buy the best, and at the same time why players like Almiron, and Joelinton are such disappointments

Could see Sabic being in or around, given their relatively local ties

Isn't most of their sponsorship only paid if they're successful in winning things? Certain i read that the full 750m from Chevrolet was conditional that they won the league and champions league or finished in the top 4 for the duration? Obviously they'll still get a stupid amount, but without a trophy to show in a few years it is probably a fair bit less.

Wonder how many would refuse vaccinations if Covid had the same symptoms and fatality rate of Ebola?

So essentially the other 13 collectively realised that by stopping our sponsorships they'd be restricting themselves too? Expect a challenge on the fairness of the vote from 5 of the Rich 6 by the end of the day

VAR in principle should be a great thing, but the use of it at the moment is absurd, and just looks like it's a tool to favour the result the PL wants.

Smallpox vaccine says hello. Unvaccinated and un-symptomatic at the minute are essentially Typhoid Marys

Well yes... A vaccinated person is less likely to contract it than an unvaccinated person so by definition will spread it less.

Isn't every area possibly excluding GK a priority at the minute? Sorcery I know, but it might just be possible that we can work on more than one signing at a time now.

We could play 9 at the back and still lose comfortably. Pretty sure Dalglish tried a 9 at the back formation when he was managing us and we went there

It wouldn't be one of the biggest shocks, but it would be the most unpredictable result this year

So what's to stop the PL and the other teams arguing that this is our 'market value"?

Is this the usual point where someone suggests he should play as a defensive midfielder?

I know that's a glib comment but if we tell the truth and say 'nothing' then that essentially makes our sponsorship worthless and therefore unable to claim true market value without massive delays and arguements. Need a calculation on how much SD sponsorship would have been worth if MA had been paying proper value for it. I seem to remember the official figure reported was just over 100K?

Not on transfers....best gauge for them is to take an average of how many places report it rather than who is reporting it. For total reliability the BBC isn't too bad, but they generally only report after the event and anything speculative is labelled as speculative

His shooting was like watching a slow motion replay with all the other players going at normal speed. Weakest kicker i've ever seen turn out for us.

Are we certain these aren't just quotes from us during the last few Bruce matches?

This may be this first time in years where a set of fans actually seems worried about playing us? What's wrong with them?.....even with the Howe improvement they could still probably put 3 or 4 past us with their reserves

De Jong's simply don't work for us. They either get punctured lungs from a light breeze, or can't kick a ball with enough force to get from the penalty spot to the goalkeeper.

Moody Frenchman with delusions of being far more talented than he actually is, always looking for a move or a better contract. Got N'Somnia written all over it. Talent wise he'd be great for our squad....we could get him with a big fat salary, but it would be Owen levels of dis-interest in actually playing for us.

He has a fair point

erghh

Depends if it's snowing in Middlesbrough....or not. If they can field an 11, reserves or not it should not be postponed, or they forfeit by choosing not to play.
