Was just thinking it was disappointing that neebody has reported him striding up Pink Lane yet

writing to Amnesty in an effort to get Sting to speak out man magnificent

ok Perhaps Jones has just told him to look actively disinterested for the last few weeks, or perhaps Bruce was actually a better manager than we all gave him credit for I've got a fucking team full of Matt Ritchies, I don't need any more

And to be fair to Jones, Carver actually claimed to be a manager (and claimed at least once to be the best in the Premier, as I recall).

I can't feel a lot of love for a lad who apparently only wanted to play for Steve Bruce in all honesty

Lad has got one of those youthful faces destined to be ruined by the pressures of the job. After a couple of seasons of misery and toil you'll see a picture of him c.2021 and think, 'mind, he's aged since he's had this job'. Like Tony Blair.

Occam's Razor suggests it's probably best to go with "because it's not actually concluded yet"

Was going to post pretty much exactly that I'm happy enough with Howe though, SAF seal of approval/kiss of death or not

His name doesn't fit in songs very well

Still could be, just maybe not by February next year

Can't argue with any of this really. If you'd offered me Howe instead of Bruce a month ago I would have been happy to roll that particular dice, even in the context of Ashley's ownership.

Can't wait for the first person to say they don't want to work for us because Saudi Arabia You can sense it coming

Aye, that's how I read it too. Personally speaking, if you gave me a choice of (a) an embarrassing winter of multiple managerial rejections leading to a dream ticket combo of Roy Hodgson and Joe Kinnear relegating us and the Saudis quietly selling us in the summer vs (b) Mike Ashley and Steve Bruce being here in perpetuity, I would still have been considering the positives of (a)

He must've been reading RTG

Obviously hardballing for £14m a year salary rather than the paltry £7m being bandied about I think I'll just wait and see what transpires media had us closing in on Fonseca as well just days ago

But still a proper comedy humping, all the same

Link? Love reading stuff that makes me irrationally angry

Were Roma second bottom and utter fucking dogshit though

More 'not good enough in every other regard' really

Looks amazing but I have the same misgiving as KI; we're really not in a position which allows us the luxury of experimenting with an aggressive possession style featuring personnel that don't appear suited to it. I'd be happy to see it tried of course, but it'd be canny risky with our prize collection of journeymen and cloggers

If the £8m was contingent on him saying nowt to his pressman besties for a day or two then I guess it could have been kept quiet

He looks like he's thinking about the right way to ask how long a game of football goes on for

Aye, that's what I meant

Well I understand that much I just wonder if there's a real disadvantage to a less lucrative sponsor (but still presumably loads better than our current incumbents) but just let them advertise their primary but maybe banned one for nowt
