Maybe his finger slipped multiple times? How can we prove it didn’t???

Gordon is a one-dimensional hit and run merchant, and an absolutely repulsive piece of shit to boot. No thanks.

Sitting on your arse at the back-end of your career on £45k a week, versus playing every game for £15k a week. Very, very few of us would choose the latter regardless of how comfortable we were financially. And I do think that’s the sort of wage disparity a lot of our shite are looking at right now.

We’ve been good for about 4 months of the past decade. Let’s see if we can manage to go a calendar year without embarrassing ourselves before suggesting we’re a bigger draw than a team we haven’t finished above of for 25 years.

Bruno appears to me to be very much a natural leader and someone who thrives as the emotional focal point of a team.

"How will I displace Jonjo Shelvey?" "Very fucking easily"

Adam Armstrong was a machine at England youth level.

Rice signed a new contract at the end of 2018 when he was an established first team player. Obviously he’s not on £3k a week

Are you actually from the area? I genuinely cannot fathom how a local could countenance that sort of cultural vandalism. Makes me sick in fact.

That old canard. That’s just them trying to stiff you of an extra week’s increased wages.

Potential issue with his cardiac screening apparently. Club getting a second opinion. (from my mate who’s a doctor at the Nuffield, and who definitely exists)

“in principle” - ominous. Sounds like Waugh’s worries might be justified?

Chris Waugh just on TalkSport there saying he’s heard there’s been a “hold-up” in completing this on the player’s end. Wtf.

There is zero chance that Lascelles is anything other than cover for injuries going forward.

There’s no such thing. FFP does not care about whether you pay a transfer free up front or over 100 years - it makes absolutely no difference to your profit and loss. The only thing that matters is the contractual value of the transfer fee.

“ooh we have football friends and the mackems don’t!” - grow up lads yeah.

Looked good in an extremely manic Bielsa side. Awful for England - offered zero protection or control during the Euros (and yeah I know we still shithoused our way to the final). Not close to good enough technically or in his reading of the game to make an impact at City. 17 appearances, 7 as sub written all over him for next season.

Horrific business from City. Phillips isn’t close to good enough for them (not that it matters financially). And yes I do know better than Pep in this instance.

If we don’t go north of £150m this summer it’s PIF out for me (lyk). They’re happy to spunk $100m dollars a piece on signing no-mark golfers but not their Premier League team?

If he’s spat in Howe’s face and threatened to “chin his kids”, I just can’t see him not being sold this summer tbh.

He’s not being brought in to “push Dubs”. He’ll be our immediate no. 1 and will remain that way unless/until he goes through an absolutely horrific patch of form.

Are we going to get blown out of the water by Forest this summer? Pretty worrying IMO.

Plenty of prominent sportspeople did play in Apartheid South Africa though.

Unironically don’t want this guy anymore. Hammy-merchant at 19? No thanks.

I feel like there’s a third, more-likely option here.
