Still think that curry night was the sealing of the deal, like. It fits too well with everything we know about how Ashley does business. With the amount of journalists that reported the 'agreement' at the same time, there's no way that wasn't put out by the club. Assuming Rafa's line of not knowing how much he has to spend is to attempt to protect us from being fleeced during negotiations.

What did he say? Gave it a good go, and if Perez had better finishing we could easily have got a point. Said there was a few things to be positive about from that performance, and Stelling said the same a couple of times. It does suggest if we can get a couple of players in January, especially a striker, the rest of the team could rally. Thanks. Sounds like we're doomed elsewhere on here. People spitting their dummies out needlessly imo. It's the sort of mentality we need to cut out if we want to stay up. Negativity at this stage only breeds further negativity and we'll implode. The sentiment is right, but it's pretty difficult to find positives during this kind of run. Especially when it's not entirely down to abject performances, but rather a blindingly obvious gulf in quality. Just makes it difficult to see how it can be turned around. Other than buying what we need, obviously. Aye, I appreciate that, and I'm not sticking my head in the sand pretending everything is alright, cause it clearly isn't. I just think some people need to look at things a bit more objectively than just through Black and White eyes after a run of slightly more difficult fixtures. I mean, at the start of the season I wouldn't have necessarily expected much (if anything) from games vs Everton, Man United, Chelsea and Arsenal. Even then Leicester you'd maybe expect a point at home. As the season has progressed a point at home to Watford and away to Burnley would have been okay too I reckon. The most annoying result has been vs Bournemouth in this latest run of games because even a point away at West Brom isn't terrible (so long as we beat them at home). Yeah, I agree. For me, its frustration more than anything. One win in amongst this run and we're sitting quite happily in mid table. The teams around us suddenly finding form has only amplified the concern. Just have to hope that we do move quickly in January, and that we're not cut adrift by the time we do. Stating the obvious, but a win at West Ham could potentially be season saving.

We're going to need a pretty good second half of the season to feel in any way comfortable, like. Can't really believe that we're in this position after the early season promise of a well organised, hard to beat, if technically poor side. Lascelle's injury has really fucked us.

MORE?!

Here we, here we, here we fucking go!

Nobody is going to do this.

Can't help but feel £250m is a bit of a low ball offer, really. There's a lot of additional investment required, obviously, but I'm not sure that price is the going rate for an historical, if not established, Premier League club.

When he wrote a book with Rafa's not inconsiderable input. Oh so it's like Balague's reliable because he wrote a book thing then No. Not at all.

Anyone tried to buy tickets for the City game today? Site seems to be buggered.

Aye just found it there, cheers.

Assume that's part of a longer interview? Can't remember having seen it before.

It's going to be very cold.

Well don't post it then!! Sake, man.

My chest hurts.

Get it up ye.

Surely he's just listed everything that's supposedly happening. Then said what's actually happening (i.e. Nobody really knows). How I read it anyway.

It's all just too far out in the open. Makes me feel very uneasy considering what we've been used to in terms of communication.

What is wrong with the internet?

Bit weird.

I like it.

Have you ever watched Mrs Brown's Boys?

People credit Keith Bishop with far too much, man.

Bit early to say that her 'contacts' won't be shithouses mind. We know fuck all about her, or who she represents, at this point. It's all promising, though.

Amazing what a couple of wins does.
