To paraphrase the 90s Sid the Sexist animation: "H'way ya buggars everybody get doon, Monday neet he's signing for the Toon"

I'm not sure why PIF even want to sign off on players. Apart from the 35m/yr allowed loss, all the money being spent is from the club's income not the PIF piggybank. They appointed the CEO - and will appoint his successor - so just let them cook. It's like micromanaging for the sake of it (Eales, Nicks, Howe should all be trusted) but not being able to give the time needed for it.

Pedro will need to elbow his way past Jackson to get into the team. Won't be easy, they are both good at that (Sorry if just got in from a day of driving back from the Pacific coast)

Don't we have an official tie-in with StatsBomb?

Baiting out the Brexiters with that mind

He's been trying to assist Hojlund, rather than Wood.

That's word for word what I was shouting

I also think that if they can't get a work permit, they shouldn't be allowed to be registered. You shouldn't be able to loan them out abroad to get around that. It's almost tantamount to actual ownership of a human, forcing them to work somewhere else.

Please stop. I've now got Nigel Lamont in my mind.

Maybe he can conscientiously object, like Marcelino did against us.

If he'd said Chris Mort, I wouldn't have disagreed about that. Maybe I didn't look too closely, but I liked him from afar.

A venue, not a pub, but the Fire Station looks nice and Brandy Clark is playing there for the second time in 2-3 years.

A horse head more like /s.

On 22 May 2024, Ghisolfi signed with Serie A side Roma as their new sporting director On 10 July 2024, Le Fée signed for Serie A club Roma on a 5-year contract worth €23 million Maybe it was agreed beforehand and there's an interview with him saying their transfer strategy wasn't fit for purpose...

BBC Introducing NE played some clips yesterday including an interview on BBC Breakfast the day after the takeover, and he was saying he was massively hung over as he and Johnny went down to the ground (where Johnny got his sax out on the statue) and someone gave him a load of CANS. He must have turned into a super fan quick. Edit: this was the interview they played:

"Gordon is desperate to go to Liverpool". Never seen him run so fast as to get in on that celebration.

In HAM radio, that's a sure thing.

The Guardian article (which someone here described as click bait ) described how the blind trusts have to be in place by end of March and Testor didn't do that. ManC and ManU met those requirements.

Some decent teams visiting Seattle, but likewise I won't be going or watching. Some sensible reasons and others just because they are corruption friends. Other winners of the MLS Supports Shield get the Nelson Muntz response when they don't also win the playoffs (MLS Cup) who are the declared champions, but FIFA declare Inter Miami are the MLS winners for the purposes of this shit fest. I wonder why.

Me too, but in a different way with Jennifer Love Hewitt. Almost 30 years ago now, which is why I misremembered as it was Neutrogena.

Dion Dublin enters the chat:

Maybe I'm being delusional, but maybe we are forcing other clubs' hands to clear the way for our real targets (won't stop Todd from stock piling though). Eddie said that CL qualification over EL didn't particularly matter.

They aren't even cooking the books this summer (yet). Fifa are giving them a huge wedge for a win four years ago. Same for Inter Miami who won....nothing.
