Plays like a half-cut Shola.

Fuck off, you horrible greedy deformed gusset rustler.

Steve Bruce will see his own knob before we see a goal

Makes Joselu look like Sibierski

Aye, they’re fucked

You just knaa Big Jows gonna lose it

Two false 10s mate

Joelinton is a lazy disinterested shniffle piffler.

500 games. Sleeves. Dust. Pant pant, lick lick.

I agree. It should be televised from the centre circle with chairs and a big table.

Dare I say I'd almost prefer it that way? One season of pure unstoppable momentum while the suits get to work on bringing Darsley Park into the 21st century..

I'm now pessimistic about this deal. When the patter was that KSA were about to sort out the Bein issues I was fairly confident. Now that we're doing plan B and it's acknowledged that we might lose, I can't see us not losing. From the logical and legal persepctives I'm sure we have a great chance. NUFCically we have no chance. All this stuff about the deal being dead right now is bollocks though. Amanda wants to buy and Mike wants to sell. They'll try. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see KSA buy another British club a couple of years down the line without a hitch. "The sale of Manchester United was given the green light after Mohammed bin Salman hand wrote a letter to the Premier League using the sacred ink of Mecca ensuring that he has nothing to do with PIF."

:lol: And how did you mitigate your losses? By keeping Steve Bruce in my employ and signing no one in the January window. "Steve's one of the best managers in the league. He's managed over 500 games and he guided us to a mid-table finish the previous season. I would love to have spent in the January window but I'm feeling the crunch which is why I wanted to sell the club when I did." I've no idea how or if you argue about onfield matters in court but I wouldn't be surprised to Ashley vs The PL going through the courts.

If we do win the case but get relegated the value will drop say £100m.now my thinking but not sure if possible is that Ashley could still sell to PIF for £200m and claim loss of earnings of £100m against the Premier League? Maybe this is why he won't sack Bruce as he knows he'll get his £300m anyway even if we get relegated. Could be a bit far fetched but I think he would have a good case as they acted against the rules Again, I wouldn't mind hearing an informed legal opinion on this. A lot of people on here have laughed at the idea of Mike being able to claim compensation when we get relegated (and sold) but I don't think anyone really knows. If he had a deal in place that met the criteria for a sale and was denied the sale by unjust means, a compo claim doesn't sound beyond the realms of possibility to me. It would be a dream scenario as well by the way. Sitting back with our filthy oil billions as we watch Ashley and the PL fight it out.

I'd love to know what's going on with the Staffs. It's sickening watching this fat odious knacker ruin two local lads' careers. Surely they'll have made their mouths go to someone somewhere.

Much better with Dummett in.

Villa are gash without Grealish's imput. If I were a cabbage I'd stick Matty Lonstaff on him and just tell him to follow him everywhere. When did man-marking go out of fashion by the way? It used to be all the rage. I've been man marked before (what with me being a sort of Grealish-Gascoigne type myself ) and it always used to get on my tits. Just having someone violate your f***ing space like that even when there's nowt happening is off-putting.

Agree with all the s*** Edwards gets. But can we stop insulting people for being bald all the time on here? See it all the time. I'm not bald but I know people that are and it's not something people can help. There's plenty of reasons to have a go at people like Edwards and Charnley etc. Being bald isn't one of them. Not much to comb through there.

Doesn't it all hinge on that separation now though? Piracy is only an issue because of KSA, if separation is proven then piracy goes away. If the piracy situation is resolved, then it still needs MBS etc to submit to the O&D tests which they refuse to do. Practicing US lawyer, B-more mag, said no, it doesn't hinge on that. Go back to the takeover thread and check out his commentary on the legal patter. It's all over my head to be honest. Thinking up names to call Steve Bruce is more my level.

I'm not sure I can see the beautiful juxtaposition. Am I missing some esoteric reference or something? I only ask because I happen to know Alan Coleman.

Defeats only hurt me when it feels like the club is going somewhere (Keegan, Sir Bob and sort of Rafa). Under normal circumstances I'm numb to the pain. Losing in the UEFA Cup semi final to Marseille was awful. I was praying Bobby would rest Woodgate and keep him fresh for the game. He played him and he inevitably got injured. And then Drogba took the piss out of Andy O'Brien. The most painful game in anyone's memory though must be losing to Man U 1-0 in 1996. We absolutely fucking caned them but couldn't score. We did the same again a few months later and won 5-0. Rotten luck.

No. Not once. His goals against Oxford and Palace were both scuffs.

"Quietly confident" was the phrase he used in his first press conference over in China.

Doesn’t matter what they want it’s what is legally correct. We will just have to wait and see as none of us know, however I will say if they were so sure on their legal stand why didn’t they just reject it initially. The thing is, legally or not, if there's enough corruption at the top it won't matter, who's going to stop them from doing whatever they want? Grease the palm of the right person and the PL can do whatever they want. I agree with this, although the buyers will be doing a fair bit palm-greasing of their own too. The world is corrupt beyond what most people can imagine. When you're talking about people with this much power and influence - CEOs, lawmakers, kings, billion dollar industries - there'll be dirty money flying about in all directions.
