I find social media completely cringeworthy in relation to sports/football.

If it’s not one of those poorly put together graphics of someone who has passed away, it’s a fake quote attributed to someone, Sky’s media circus or something as crap as the above.

You also get the loons like Stifler on social media with bizarre opinions about decisions, referees and VAR after every single tackle/card/goal.

Aye some on here just can’t resist digging around for negatives.

Sorry. Can’t be realistic in the proper takeover thread now either

It’ll end up like RAWK soon. Banned unless you stand in the street ringing a bell bellowing ‘good times are coming’.

Had forgot NDM was representing Derby in their case too. Seems he isn’t bulletproof after all.

According to some he is unbeatable and would only take on a case if he was guaranteed to win.

Maybe his bread tweets were in relation to Derby.

Weird of the world’s greatest manager to make such a tactical blunder subbing Rashford on while defending a corner today.

Sky got their work cut out finding something to hype up on the final day at this rate. Race for the Europa Conference League spot?

I still think CL will go down to the final day. Leicester won’t beat Chelsea and I suspect Liverpool will win their next two. 

Depends how much fight Tottenham want to give Leicester on the final day as to who will end up getting it.

It was launched well over a month ago, right? 3 April I think. So the majority of the reoccurring monthly payments would’ve already come out as most of the 60k was pledged really quickly.

A recent increase of 20k seems to suggest there isn’t many monthly subscribers and a majority of the initial were one-offs.

Good takeover news will possibly reduce the appetite lower than it already was too. 

I bet the other teams fighting for the top four are delighted to see that Man Utd team.

Ridiculous they’re put in a position where they have three games in six days. Even more ridiculous that two of those three games are incredibly important to the opposing teams.

I love how he’s making a point based on the thoughts of a very small minority 

It’s also a moot point. We have a much better and balanced team than Fulham and should have comfortably finished above them.

Even though I think he’s crap and he’s just relegated Fulham - I’d still take Parker over Bruce. I’d at least be able to have hope Parker would improve, rather than knowing Bruce has always been, and always will be, shit.

Parker relegated with West Ham = baffling Player of the Year award

Should we expect Manager of the Year this time?

 

Wouldn’t surprise me how much some people have creamed over him. He’s been garbage.

Struggled to get them promoted last season despite having the best team in the league and they’ve barely threatened to get safe at any point this season.

Plays sexy football though. So he’s the next best thing. He’s being linked with the Tottenham job ffs

Keith did somebody mention Keith ? 
 

 

 

Keith’s tweets are worded almost identical to a Whitley Mag or Manor Park post. They’re also usually very quickly posted too, almost like they’re always online at the same time.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence mind...

Anyway. Now the season is over. All abroad the takeover bus.

So depressing to know we’ll be going through all of this crap again.

One barrier down, six hundred and forty seven to go.

Roll on the good times.

Should it not be: ‘Random football thoughts thread’?

That’s a random thought for you.

Are people now more confident of the takeover after the recent news?

I can't say i am.

I won’t be until there is something concrete that suggests the PL are willing to move. Ashley forcing through a court battle doesn’t suggest that at all.

All of the pro-PL journalists still seem to infer the PL are happy where they are too.

I’m pleased it appears cogs are still turning, but I just don’t see a scenario where the PL back down or they’ve left themselves open to be ripped a new one in court.

I sincerely hope it goes through. I can’t deal with another season of Bruce or Ashley.

Mad that we were sat here this time last year actually believing we were days away from an announcement.

It's essentially just dividing realism vs optimism, really. Such as the transfer thread vs twitter bullshit thread - this so the one thread doesn't get filled with stuff people don't want to read. It's not hard to understand. Outlandishly positive things go in here and people who wish to discuss those things have free reign. More realistic/toned-down stuff go in the main thread. A tweet daying Bruce is close to signing Haaland doesn't go in the realistic transfers thread, to put it like that, but there's room for that tweet somewhere on the forum - and that's what has always made this forum great.

The issue some have though... is if we had 5-10 posters relentlessly posting that they’ve purchased Haaland shirts and how we’re going to win the league based on those unrealistic rumours,  we’d look like right twats.

That’s the equivalent of this thread and what is posted in here. Everything people criticise RTG for, is in here  

Although I do get it and will try to keep my thoughts in the right thread from now on.

Pereira is a class little player. Someone in the PL is obviously going to pick him up. Love it to be us. It won't be though.

Depends if he’s available for 5% of his actual value, doesn’t want a competitive wage and wants to try and win the 17th trophy defending his own six yard box.

Not that he'll get any criticism from the media

 

“Impossible job after forrin Bilic left the team in a mess.”

”Should have brought him in sooner.”

I still can’t quite believe they’ve been this shit  Hull went down as a complete basket case, spent fuck all and came straight back up as Champions.

I didn’t realise Wilson is 29. How is he that old? I suppose he’s unlikely to get a bigger move at this age, isn’t he?

Such a weird career considering how good he actually is.

The most sense spoken in this thread. I’m loving the positive noises recently but some people will literally believe anything if it backs up their positivity bias 

Some of the same ‘positive’ people were saying it was good news PIF pulled out formally. It’s all a bluff, they said...

Mike Ashley could sign an indefinite contract for NUFC to remain in his grubby hands until football ends and we’d have people telling us it’s part of Keith’s strategy

This thread is very RTG at times.

I didn’t realise Everton still have an outside chance of CL. Three very winnable games left and then Man City final day, who will inevitably be more interested in the CL final.

4 wins would get them onto 67. Depends if Leicester can get 2 wins from their final 3 tough games.

West Ham should get 3/3 now too. That’d put them on 67 too  

But then Liverpool still have a decent shout, especially if they beat Man Utd on Thursday. 3 wins and a draw would put them on 67  

Literally no idea who will end up getting it.

Sterling’s yellow today was worse than Schar’s red the other week. Sterling won’t be banned retrospectively and Schar’s wasn’t overturned. It’s just bizarre.
