Sell him to man u for £50 million

Maybe they could just admit it's all predetermined and we can refer to it as "sports entertainment with a ball".

Are all the bar patrons there waving to get the ambulance's attention for the red faced gentleman who is having a fit? Sorry, in an office so can't have the volume on, not sure if the sound makes the action more obvious.

I am fully behind Eddie. It's a rough patch for sure, but he's learning and developing all the time as we are improving. Never mind the Champions League, he has given me hope which is something I had none of with previous managers for such a long time (excluding Rafa). He has earned the right to grow alongside us and I'm not one for attacking a man who clearly knows his stuff after a bumpy patch. I'm not saying don't criticize certain points of his game plan, that's every football fans right, I'm just saying I'm sticking by him.

Goalkeeper. You have to be part rugby player, basketball player, ballerina and wrestler as well as a footballer. In a pinch you can play a LB at CF as they're both outfield players but it's very rare that an outfield player can successfully go in goal, Kevin Brock's concussion induced heroics notwithstanding.

I would agree, however due to work commitments it got to the point that I'd only be able to listen to the Friday night show for about an hour. Problem was, they ALWAYS had on this unfunny wanker from Hartlepool for half an hour and Slaven humouring the arsehole with quips about sending them some baked goods (I think this Hartlepool bloke was a baker). There was zero football talk and there was never a decent caller on for the last half hour that I could listen to it. Ruined it for me. Kind of went downhill too after the original mackem bloke left and they got in Micky something.

Giving Ruel Fox the number 5 shirt.

I've always reckoned the league fixtures were fixed, I'm now thinking the cup draws might be too. -OR- All football is predetermined for storyline purposes.

Weird when I saw the Blackburn team sheet, I thought I was back in the 90's with some of the names. Really shit game, we seemed to completely lack that spark. We have for a while now but I thought it might be the ideal opportunity to clear the cobwebs and get our mojo back. I reckon there is something off behind the scenes like, the spirit doesn't seem to be as strong. I hope we overcome it as am enjoying the ride and want the players to continue to enjoy playing for us too. Credit to Blackburn like, they did a great job.

Half term mate. Probably been banned from minecraft so getting their entertainment here.

That is a valid point I was looking through case law and statutes without that even occurring to me. Thank you

Been doing some digging on whether we can hire a replacement when someone is put on gardening leave. Couldn't find any case law, but I could see that hiring replacement workers due to an industrial dispute (a strike) is perfectly legal as the employer is entitled to keep their business operational. As gardening leave is a form of industrial dispute, I surmise that we could get a replacement in. I just can't find anything concrete so far without asking someone with legal expertise with direct experience of this happening. As an aside, I hope we rinse the red mancs for millions for doing this. Wish they'd just piss off and be content being a mid table club for a few years, they've had their glory time.

When I was younger I always thought that the higher you get in the league, the less you should be able to spend on players. Not sure I agree with that now.

I don't want him to go. He's part of OUR long term project, not fucking man u's.

Indeed, that's why I was wondering what folks thought his valuation would be. Just curiosity more than anything, regardless of whether anyone paid it. Not trying to be funny or awkward, I am getting my love for football back after the dark years and I'm trying to fill in the gaps in my knowledge by asking the more well informed folks (like yourself) a hypothetical.

Is he not? Well blow me over with a wafted dishcloth, I didn't realise. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

If Joelinton was a man u player, what do you think they'd want for him in transfer fees? IIRC they rated the Scottish footballer at £50 million.

Yeah, what a classy post match interview that was from Emery.

I reckon Klopp is full of shit. He's working everyone, it will gee up the players and supporters to put in herculean efforts to win every game. If it pays off then he will announce he was joking and what a masterstroke it was, if they don't win the league then he will leave. In a couple of years sam allerdyce will say he told him to do it.

If Lascelles and Trippier do get sold, who would we give the captaincy to?

Shit, I didn't know Martin Fulop had passed.

Something just occurred to me about this lot; they seem to have a history of signing the shit brother of good players. Jobe Bellingham, Anton Ferdinand, Lee Howey...

He must feel pretty shit like, completely fucking up two clubs potential progression. Thing is though, after he eventually gets released he wont be able to make anywhere near the money he'll be on atm so I get why he won't just negotiate a mutual termination. Bit shit all round with this. I did get flashbacks to Benito Carbone with those pictures on that link though. Just the hair like, not the ability.

Was just listening to a NUFC youtube channel and one of the listeners commented that the revolving door at Newcastle seems to be only going in one direction. Well, yeah, that's how revolving doors work.

Beamish has done the brick by brick thing on several occasions. No idea what the full story is here, I just thought I'd pop in with a bit of brick by brick trivia. Edit: read the previous pages to catch up. I was clearly just too excited to share what I learned on a school trip once.
