Big test now couldn’t break down the fucking wombles a couple of weeks ago never mind this lot.

Get more out of Barnes bringing him on though if we need a goal, completely ineffective starting and poor defensively, think Howe’s made right call.

Barnes is an impact sub he’s been far from impressive when starting right move.

Name a good right sided forward available that’s the problem and was in the summer, we either unearth someone from the continent, or we’ll end up going for someone like Dibling.

Downtrodden, small time I mean we might be a few things, but in relation to them those comments are laughable.

It’s certainly not the most spectacular stadium but if we are looking at building in Leazes Park for example and need to convince planners, it shows how a 70k stadium doesn’t need to be a towering monstrosity, I’m sure the Saudi’s would be more than happy to camouflage with it green paint as well.

If we were relocating to Castle Leazes and wanted the building to blend into it’s surroundings better, the SOFI Stadium design in LA would be a good blueprint of a modern stadium. Think a more landmark building towering over the City appeals to me though.

Prefer the Vikings stadium myself big fan of the glass window at one end to frame part of the City’s landscape, could work well for us in a future rebuild.

Remember when we bought him he’d apparently ran rings around David Dunn in the U21’s for Portugal, Dunn was being hyped massively at the time, as you say 8 million was a lot then and was quite an exciting signing at the time.

This would certainly seem to be an opportune moment to drop a new sponsorship deal on the PL’s doorstep, I’m not sure they’d know where to fucking start. I could see any re-writing of the rules taking months, could they really just put sponsorship deals on hold and would they be legally confident of rejecting any when their rules have been deemed unlawful.

The whole trip was brilliant think Ajax were playing Inter the night before in Amsterdam, some right characters from days gone by followed us over there was a great away following 3k Mags all up for it.

Looking more tricky than a few quick amendments, city have them on the ropes.

Aye, was a few people tumbling over seats when the winner went in that night. Think it’s the goals where you truly lose it like Kelly against Portsmouth and any goal against the unwashed when you remember what it’s all about. Back on topic though Viana had such a cultured left foot, real shame he couldn’t get to grips with PL.

I prefer to remember him for this probably the greatest NUFC away trip for those of us lucky to be there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0wf-DR_A6U&pp=ygUPRmV5ZXJub29yZCBudWZj

Needs to start justifying it if he’s the highest earner, gone off the boil since getting involved with England, very Rob Lee vibes who was never the same player after England. Roy Keane called it right last night, if he wants to be a top player needs to start putting away chances.

I’m sure the club would be willing to divulge this information if they thought it would bring the PL to a CAT, we’ve already supported the Man City case and I’m sure they’d be quite happy to see fines and bans handed down to rival clubs and directors for breaching competition rules.

Nobody ever mentioned a Barcelona style sporting club, what’s the daft cunt going in about the Falcons and Eagles for, it’s almost like he wants to put a negative slant on everything. In 5 years time if there’s no progress on infrastructure projects then criticism will be valid, but everything is pointing towards huge investment in the stadium project that we could only have dreamed of 3 years ago.

I’d imagine there’s already highly paid Barristers working on standing for an external party to bring the PL to a CAT.

Matt Slater who regularly quotes PL sources in these matters, would imagine this is the line the PL have fed him.

This is the key City are already threatening to hold them to account with more legal action, also the evidence gathered here by NUFC of collective lobbying and anti competitive measures against us is huge. I’m not sure if PIF have the appetite to go after the PL currently, however think we’ll test this period of uncertainty with a new sponsorship deal, lawyers such as De Marco will also be advising club of the strength of evidence revealed. There’s also the long shot of an outside party launching a CAT case against the PL if they can show financial loss due to their anti competitive behaviour, would be sweet if NUFC and MCFC supporters joined forces to do just that and bring the house down completely.

Pretty damning from Blue Moon - Having ploughed through all 175 pages I think the worst element of this whole saga is the contempt shown to City over the sponsorship deals at First Abu Dhabi Bank, Emirates Palace, and Etihad. If you read the incredible volume of correspondence it is clear that the PL and their financial people dragged their feet and put obstacle after obstacle in City's way. The Etihad deal was dragged out for almost 12 months. The PL told City it was "above market value" but refused to discuss how they arrived at their figures. City were told they couldnt see the comparison with other deals on the database. The Judges slammed this despicable behaviour. These three delayed deals have probably cost City tens of millions of pounds. The PL didn't respond to letters and emails from City repeatedly. This was just pure obstruction driven by bad faith. No wonder City sued them. Just think about it. Three firms who want to invest in a business in North West England are obstructed at every opportunity. A total disgrace. No one has reported on this properly. There are pages and pages of the PL and its financial people just taking the piss out of City. It's in the link below starting at section 441. https://resources.premierleague.com/premierleague/document/2024/10/07/898efab9-9f51-449b-a393-1a0c05b48824/Manchester-City-and-Premier-League-Partial-Final-Award-071024.pdf
