  1. 10 years is a long time, from that first page to being so loved
  2. Just goes to show how poor Bruce was that people are appreciating players actually training
  3. She's literally the Messi/Ronaldo of women's football. Real privilege to have her at the club! Scores every week
  4. Absolute outsider opinion and someone who's from a racial minority here. I've spent years in the UAE, which is a more liberal Saudi Arabia. And I wasn't the only one. Nor is there any shortage of Brits in Saudi Arabia. Now Saudi themselves commit a lot of human rights violations and in a way, the country is a cesspool of human right abuses, but.... if we see nothing wrong with Brits going there for a job, or rich Saudi kids coming here either to live in a liberal country or to go back and stay in Saudi, why is it wrong if they invest in a football club? They're allowed to buy homes in London, they're allowed to send their kids to British Unis. Hell, Sheikh Muhammad (Ruler of Dubai) owns more acres of land in Britain than there are in many small towns in Britain. I say this with regards to City as well, people are honestly a bit too uptight on these things. Britain is rich because it colonised half the world and committed human right abuses centuries ago. I have no contrition for this as it happened, and none of us living now decided to colonise the world. But it's why Britain is rich, and is the source of the Queen's wealth, for example. But if the Crown decided to own a team, say Prince Williams bought out Aston Villa, the only uproar would be about the cost to the taxpayer, and none about the source of the wealth. Chelsea's wealth is not attacked in the same way, even though what Russian oligarchs do to gain their wealth is well known. It smacks of exploiting anti-Arab and anti-Muslim sentiment at times. How come oil money is bad but other money is good? Other examples include Lewis Hamilton racing for AMG Petronas Mercedes. Search how many Petronas have killed. No one brings this up. But people will attack Lewis Hamilton for appearing in a video sponsored by Aramco. Massive double standards. Honestly, I don't think I'd like to be owned by morally black owners. But..... all owners are at least morally grey and yet the only ones people really seem to care about are those who plan to invest and those who happen to be non-British and non-American.
  5. Didn't realise she was that good looking tbh
  6. I think he can do well. It was always a curious signing because Fraser was the creative player in a team that kept the ball, rather than an explosive player you'd need for counter attacking. If Howe implements the same style he did at Bournemouth and he goes through an attitude correction, he's a solid player
  7. He is a tidy player, can see him turning around the opinion of a lot of fans under Howe
  8. I don't support Newcastle (Arsenal fan) but my friend had a ticket free with his dad away and I saw Cabaye bang in a free kick with Steven Taylor (I think) just dancing around the keeper before it.
  9. Emenalo is also the one who oversaw their youth signings and those have been very, very good. Newcastle should also look to run a system like that
  10. Tbf, the results are good, but I'd keep in mind, we have played 2 big teams and been utterly humiliated by both (Chelsea and City). Spurs have been dreadful this season, so I'm not counting them. We were lucky against Leicester, but will credit Arteta for getting Ramsdale in who saved us in that game. Similar story against Brighton who dominated us for large parts. I will be highly surprised if we're near top 4, come the end of the season
  11. I'll be honest, I like the signings, and we're recently getting results too after the 8th place last season, but the football is utterly soul draining, to the point I'd rather not watch games at times. He's won more in those 100 games because those include easy European ties in the Europa League to farmers. Still, the results are good right now, but I highly doubt they're sustainable, we have been under the pump in many games (Could have easily drawn today, Auba missed pen aside). I think we're due a bad run but I have to give the team credit for being a lot harder to play against at least. Too bad it's also much harder to watch
  12. Imo Moyes was always the best of the solid British bunch because he was more up to date with the times and tried to play a more attacking style of football than the more dour types. United broke him, but his Everton team were solidly upper midtable. I don't think he's near the top tier though, because of his complete inability to win trophies.
  13. Shocked you have Tets that high. Most boring manager in the league with an atrocious style of football while supposedly playing front foot attacking football
