It's not beyond the realms of possibility that NUFC did in fact try to get the case adjourned because they fancied their chances in the CAT case more, or indeed wanted to get certain info in the public domain ahead of it. My take is that the Saudis would have walked if that news had come out of the blue yesterday. Also, knowing what a big man-baby Ashley is, why haven't we seen a toys out of the pram statement from him that usually follows him not getting his own way? There's more to this than meets the eye in my opinion.

Or when you compare what either manager inherited.

He literally said the place was full of arseholes, not sure what he expected? As for the players he let go, none of them have proven themselves as PL players as yet, so it's a bit early to talk about mistakes being made. Also, to claim Rafa spent 'big money' is pretty fucking ridiculous as we were buying well below PL average prices at all times.

Looks like that percentage has gone up a bit. Big money signings ??

It's much more prevalent at England games in my opinion. SJP used to be horrific back in the 70's/80's but can honestly say, witnessed very little of that sort of nonsesnse as an ST holder in the Milburn for 25 years. Not to say it didn't happen full stop.

Exactly. I've been to quite a few England games and at every single one, I've hated the xenophobic jingosism and outright racism I've witnessed from a sizeable minority of fans. It's fucking toxic and one of the reasons I can never get behind the national team 100% in all honesty, although Southgate and the players have made me feel a sense of pride which I haven't felt for a long time. You still get nazi salutes, xenophobic and racist chanting, booing the knee and this general arrogance that we're better than other countries. I don't know why people are in anyway shocked or surprised that this manifests itself on social media. We will never rid ourselves of this problem if we can't admit there is one.

Okay, so that's one you can possibly discount. Loads of others including videos. If you want to believe this is some sort of stitch up job on innocent England fans, you crack on fella.

Look up racist on Twitter, plenty of stuff there when you wade through. Videos, tweets, Snapchat stuff...fill your boots. I think Mr Andrew Bone and Henry Williams to name but two will be probably be out of a job because of it. Which is great news.

You think English fans abusing their own black players hasn't been an issue for the last 40 years? Dear me.

Really?

Do you not think he deserves the chance to continue to develop as England manger, after a World Cup semi and a Euros final?

Aye, feeling pretty numb this morning and definitely another missed opportunity as in Russia. Definitely been lifted by the overwhelming response to the racism and the hypocrisy of the government to it though. I honestly feel like Southgate & his players have made a lot of people question the narrative.

My dream would be for England to win it, have an audience with the Queen but then publicly refuse an invite to Downing Street on principle. We can but dream.

Reminds me of one of Sid's designer t-shirts.

Fucking horrendous. The thick stripes on the home one make it look like a football top for a baby/toddler.

Good strike but keeper should stop something that close to him imho. Phillips is chasing shadows at the minute as well.

Richard, is that you?

Was going to post the very same question. I'm guessing you're still waiting for an answer to this?

You think GB News is a credible news channel.....and I am the one with no perception and understanding of the world?? Fucking hell pal, surely you're not being serious? ???

Great? ?? it's a right wing soap box owned by foreign investors that doesn't actually do any rolling news at all. Viewing figures have halved, advertisers want nothing to do with it and Neil has bailed out already. It's jingosistic horseshit for the hard of thinking, the televisual equivalent of the Sun.

Wow. Incredibly professional.....I wouldn't fancy playing us.

Ashley starting to get a taste of the sense of frustration and hopelessness we've felt after 14 years of his ownership. Fuck him.

Dear me.

Balls. This is like seeing an ex-lass you still adore marry some utter cunt from your old school. Hope he proves them wrong but fear he's on a hiding to nothing there. Will be interesting to see how he does with some decent backing mind.

Swimming against the tide etc.
