Yes please. My opinion is based on Football Manager.

We'll miss him like a hole in the lung

Embarrassing for spurs they just can't win at Wembley. It's gonna be a long season.

I wasn't too surprised with his impressive performance today, looks capable of getting 10-15 goals this season.

west ham play the first three games away from a home that isn't really home. They're in a real mess all because of the decisions karen brady made.

De Boer wants to make palace a footballing team, with the last 2 managers being pardew & allerdyce he's gonna need a small miracle.

Every Newcastle fan should watch the interview the whole thing was an apology for everything that has gone before & everything that will go wrong in the future. It's a half hour excuse, while all but putting the club up for sale.

this is exactly where i am at the moment.

Anyone think this is goodbye, a chance to tell his truth, a final say in his own words underlining the narrative of the last ten years, telling us all about...The Mike Ashley legacy

I feel sorry for Rafa mike & his minions won't open the chequebook for new players & the ones he does have let everyone down. What must be going through Rafa's head right now?

If there is one thing that really annoys me in this game it's a thick footballer. How the hell did he start as captain lose the armband at half time? Then he tops it off by getting a red card all in the first game, what a cretin.

We would have gotten at least a point today, thanks for nothing Jonjo.

So our beloved owner chooses the first day of the season to tell us he can't compete that he's just a poor multi billionaire & make an excuse for the season going awry before we've even started, because he doesn't have a manager to do that for him anymore. For the record we have never asked for mike's billions just what we're owed as a club, unfortunately mike see's the clubs money as his own. Mike listen up, after 10 years it's time to piss or get off the pot.

Renato Sanches wants to leave Bayern

Perfect time to sell NUFC. SD & "Selfridges of sport" is the new master plan.

Rafa said he looked at Josh as well. We will have to wait for him, not too long I hope.

No point doing pressers. With Rafa's Q&A in a couple of weeks I would expect some real progress by then. I doubt he will want to be bombarded with the kind of questions that have been lingering for the last few weeks & months.

It's not only are incoming transfers that are glacial but there are hardly any outgoings, a few loans and that's it. What is happening?

while i'm obviously not saying you're right this scenario would explain a lot aye It's the only explanation that makes sense (if anything makes sense in ashley owned era). Tend to agree. Even by Ashley's standards meeting Rafa 2 months ago and coming to an agreement then purposefully going out of his way to renege on that agreement seems a stretch to me. Either there's something in this theory or they've shat their pants at the prices in the market big time and are trying to adjust. Imo. It would explain why no incoming player has his own thread, that's when I know it's serious. Also Rafa hasn't said a word this pre season is he patiently waiting for new investment?

Same here. What is going on at our club?

My personal favourite #MikeAshley on Jeff Blue: "you think that liar is more reliable than me?"

Fit and proper person?

Anyone think the lack of movement on this front is down to due diligence/transfer embargo?

Typical ashley promote from within. Yes sir, thank you sir, grateful just to have the job sir.
