Figures 1-0 Football

I’d imagine he’s dropped a massive clanger and asked his source if the Sky story is true, to which they have said yes (meaning a bid made) and he’s incorrectly presumed that the source was verifying the full story, including the price.

The only part being discredited is the value of the bid, probably in line with what Minosha has said. Ashley will have no doubt leaked it to try and put pressure on PCP to increase the offer. There will be some negotiations over this week but I’m confident it’ll get done.

They’ll no doubt twist it to ‘be careful what you wish for, you might get the Venky’s’ sort of shit.

Been out and bought loads of Radox. I’m having a posh one.

Sky also say that Staveley is expected to give Rafa ‘substantial’ transfer funds. They also say that Ashley will probably want a few quid more, but overall it’s a positive noise.

Sky reporting on their article that the money behind the deal is partly Staveley’s and partly her ‘major Middle East investors’.

If Ashley had no intention of selling at around the price that they have bid, not only would it have already been rejected but it would have been outlined early on what sort of figure he was looking for. With maybe a bit of negotiation, this is clearly happening like.

The Krug has been put in the fridge.

Wonder if it's the club that's leaked this then, to try and smoke out anyone else interested? That shit paper was right?!?!

The atmosphere on Saturday might have just moved up a notch or two.

Not sure if this is actually true, cant see it mentioned on the takeover tracker at all.

Who’s this Thomas Clements pissing on our bonfire? Fake news, shit account.

Genuinely cant speak fucking hell.

oh fuck me

I know what you mean, but as TCD said - you’d expect to get at least one chance of a tap-in or something in 24 matches. Berahino missed a penalty during this spell too, I could probably whack a penalty in. During the 24 matches I would probably touch the ball about 10 times, but one of them would surely be in a decent position somewhere. Definitely think this should to put to the test now like

Excellent, just in time for a new manager bounce against us. Yay.

2,159 is 24 full matches I genuinely think I’d score a PL goal if I played up front for 24 matches. A bizarre story - was fantastic in that season but sadly, like Dave said, it looks like another player who got too big for his boots.

WBA next.

Ashley is lowered into the camp by a harness for the campmates to feast on, like the goat on Jurassic Park.

You get 5 a day, vote away.

I hope there is a task where Khan gets to knock him out.
