Surely that should be disallowed

A necessary sacrifice if it means Bentaleb never plays for us again

Sterling’s close control is brilliant

Sterling is a class above anyone else on the pitch at the moment

Thought we were done with human rights abusers :'(

Feels different this time

Smalling is a canny defender but we have a good bunch already at the club Why the fuck are these idiots after players that don’t address the actual weaknesses in the team which is primarily, a lack of goals Take the £30m or whatever and sign a proper goalscoring striker you inept cunts

He’s that cheap because he’s utter garbage Why would you use £12m out of a severely limited budget when we’re desperate for a striker?

Coutinho was the best Barca player on the pitch

How Vidal hasn’t been sent off this game is incredible

:lol: Please get another

Coutinho hat-trick please

:lol: Get in Coutinho

How is that not a booking?

Support the team, not the regime

She sounds like she's back tracking & lashing out. Not really. Sounds like she's lost the plot. She already has, if she wanted to buy Newcastle

Her request for fans to now do their part. That's all. There's nothing we can do. Yeah, that bit is puzzling indeed. I can only Guess she hoped it might pressure the premier league into a u-turn. Interesting precedent they have set with this though. Is the reason not just down to PR? Shifts the focus off them and plays right into the boiling ill-will of fans toward the Premier League, engulfs the media's attention in picking apart the fallout too. I seriously doubt she believed the deal could be resurrected, more of a case of not looking totally inept. Surely she'd know though, that eventually, the truth would come out. She could end up looking more silly than just being honest in the first instance. Sure it will, but the momentum from the initial shock-and-awe withdrawal announcement has been somewhat sapped away, wouldn't you agree? The national press have largely moved onto covering the European finals currently going on and transfer sagas. Getting some space away from that time-period still works out better than none at all Plus she (and the other parties) have been able to dictate a relentless PR charm offensive in the meantime, all shaped to discredit the Premier League's objectivity in regards to the process, rather than allowing (much) attention to circulate on the weaknesses in their bid. Consequently, it's led a lot of the fanbase to become completely entrenched behind the viewpoint that NUFC have been victimized, lowering the chances that the same fans would form the opinion that they've actually been let down by the consortium in how they've conducted themselves through the process. Yeah they'd look silly even now, but the blistering fallout isn't as severe Just my take on it anyway

He’s just a troll. Contributes nothing positively on here. Just ignore him Since when does being positive become the de facto barometer for making a contribution? He's far more conductive to the discussion on here than delusional posters who deliberately ignore / misinterpret the events unfolding before them.

PIF aren't going to compromise on the principal matter raised in that letter, hence the rejection of an independent arbitration and eventual withdrawal It's over

Was wondering when we'd get to the stage of fans scamming each other and here we are

Shane Duffy to Celtic apparently, would be a very good signing for them I feel Ajeti has also signed for £5m

The same player Chris Waugh and Caulkin were saying was going to challenge the first-team and given a chance in pre-season only a few days ago Absolutely clueless I do think this is the right move however
