Edwards knew and knows fuck all man, the bloke is just a relentless fucking joy-leech. We've done this a million times but trying to say that Edwards was/is better informed than someone Caulkin is laughable. 

Caulkin was sold down the river last summer by Staveley and looked a bit silly by the end of it.

Edwards did know about the collapse last summer, that’s not disputable.  His general journalism is complete bollocks, but he got that right. 

My point (repeated again because you’ve clearly not listened), is that Edwards and Jacobs have PL sources and have maintained a fairly negative opinion throughout. If those people become positive, it’s highly likely to be good news.

Listening to them is therefore more worthwhile than someone like Kennedy, who has relentlessly listened to the same people who have been positive throughout.

I absolutely doubt that.

 

Anyone who thinks Ben Jacobs and Luke Edwards are top of the ”ITK list” regarding the takeover are either a troll or has mental issues.

Not sure I’ve ever said that. What I have said is they have much better sources than most people. In addition to the fact they were the two reporters who highlighted the issues with the takeover last summer, before anyone else knew.

I’ve also said as they are both more on the negative side (in terms of thinking it’ll go through), if they were to change that opinion it’d certainly be worth listening to as they must’ve heard something substantial to change it.

If you’re incredibly wrong about my take on that, I suppose you’ve got no hope of understanding what I’d like to see happen.

PS - mental health issues aren’t something to make light of. It makes you look a bit of an idiot.

Some poor sod is going to come home from a hard days work later and decide to have a look on the forum and see there's been loads of new posts on the takeover thread, get a bit excited, only to discover 30 minutes later (which he/she will never get back) of reading through all the posts realise it just the usual crew having there weekly spat. Same old bullshit constantly 

People wouldn’t have to same discussions if people didn’t continue to post bullshit rumours, Twitter drivel and photos from De Marco analysed to the nth degree.

There’s a separate thread for that. 
 

People got all high and mighty about the other thread and relentlessly whinged on about anyone who went into there with any sense/realism. Now everyone stopped going into that thread to engage with them, it seems they post it all in here and whinge about the same thing.

I spent the game watching Mueller for the most part.

 

Absolutely facinating watching him just drift around, looking for space.

 

Obviously he didnt have the best of games but I'm sure he'll come good.

He’s one of my favourite players, love him. Would’ve loved him to come to the PL at some point, although never know what team he’d fit into.

Haha. Wow. I look forward to the end of you Fantail Breeze, Joe Linton, Judge Holden or whatever you’re called when this takeover goes through.

Why would I go anywhere? I’d be delighted for the takeover to go through.

Ability does though.

Absolutely. I don’t doubt those involved have confidence in their ability to succeed - but the PL and their team also have confidence in their ability too.

A bit like I have confidence in my ability to have sex with Ariana Grande… doesn’t mean it’s going to happen.

Confidence has never been an issue - confidence from De Marco/Ashley/Bruce’s brother/Bruce’s sister in law/my friend’s neighbour’s cat is no different to Staveley’s confidence last summer.

Confidence doesn’t secure a takeover.

Just rewound it back. The RB is leaning forward and his foot is behind Ronaldo.

Won’t believe it until you show me a photo of drawing lines on your TV.

Honestly bottled it. At least look confident. 

Looks like Petr Cech & Luke Chadwick’s love child.

Was that not offside?

Yeah. Fucking shite being right next to that group. Gonna be a minging draw, whoever we get. 

I think one of the three will fuck it up, potentially Germany, and Hungary will pip them to third place.

I think Glitter, Savile and Harris were pals, too.

Left this thread unattended and look whats happened! 

Dubravka 

Poland gonna struggle to qualify, despite how easy it should be to

Can’t see them beating Spain - Sweden their only hope and praying three points will do it.

Edit - nah, three points won’t do it as Slovakia will be ahead on head-to-head even without another win. Need to hope Sweden somehow buggar it up.

First.

I'm pissed off at deciding to sit out Holland v Ukraine

I turned the fucker off at 2-0, expecting that to be the end of it

You couldn't be more right about that, and there were lots of excellent posts put to him which came from that place; I don't think banning that bloke for the umpteenth time equates to sweeping anything under the carpet. 

We should have a prize for who can identify his next account the fastest  He’ll be on his six attempt.

Yeah wasn't it Villa in the 1-1 monsoon game? 

 

Mad that they weren't going to sack McClaren.

That’s the one. Would’ve put us 2-0 up ffs.

Remi Garde’s Aston Villa  

Was it de Jong who missed a similar header for us at home? Can remember the exact moment but can’t recall the player or the opposition

It was at the Leazes end.

I don't think there's any chance he can continue at the top level. Doesn't those who survive sudden cardiac arrest get a pacemaker due to the likelyhood of it happening again? 

Only if it leads to a diagnosis, I thought? And I saw a quote earlier that said his test results have all came back perfectly fine.

No idea though, I’m sure someone much smarter than me will clarify.

Not sure how I’d feel playing again if that happened - you’d be in constant fear of a repeat.

Exactly the sort of signing we’d make under Ashley.

One of the Dutch defenders looks like he might go down a bit easily.

You’d at least need to buy him a drink first.

Thought Mings was our best player btw. Philips very good too of course. 

Agree. Shame @CalmintheChaos is now banned - he was livid about those two even being in the squad  

People underestimate performances like that. Croatia were awful, but because of how well we controlled them.

That was a fine display. Limit your opposition to zero chances and you’re likely to win.
