FLUMPO235

Came here after talksport stirring the pot just now. Trying to think neutrally which is the best job. I still think it’s us based on ownership, ambition and potential. I still think manure are a hell of a pull and one of if not the biggest club in the world. But with the glazers it’s just not got the potential. if it was Man City or Real Madrid I would be worried. But whoever we lose now, we know our top team will go out of their way to find the replacement. Not search the sports direct/casino staff list.

Does he have enough followers for Tony bellew to challenge him to a fight in a pub car park and broadcast it on rumble?

Not so sure, he’s gone from being very quiet to suddenly popping up on podcasts and this obvious attention seeking post. Tagging piers Morgan feels like he’s wanting an invite. Smacks a bit of he’s bored and fancies a bit of attention. he’s painfully not as smart as he thinks he is, but this feels like he knows what’s he’s doing to stir up some PR.

Actually this isn’t football related, but… Garry busey and Boris

Finally prices I can live with

Blimey, how much did they weigh?

Retro replicas down to £20 on castore club shop, limited sizes be quick!

Anyone else find the current 50% off training gear just puts it at the price it probably should be?! im aware im not taking into account inflation and me being an old man at heart. But I do wonder if they would sell more with a lower margin, than less at a higher margin. And therefore be better off selling at the lower prices overall. Or maybe they sell loads at full price anyway and I’m just tight. Also I know they are actually cheaper than Tottenham training gear, but their prices are mental.

Any chance legal counsel may have advised all his uk electronic devices were expertly wiped and all electronic traces removed when the Italian stuff kicked off? maybe I’ve seen too many films…. If it is proven his has broken the rules here then although I don’t like it as it impacts us, I think he has to do his punishment. Rules are rules.

Wow, thought there might be one or two who had a warped view of Ashley and us on that linked forum…. They deserve everything they get if that’s representative of their fan base.

Are the var team on a tea break? Far too long to decide

not keen on the home shirt, but the away and third kit are really nice. Genuinely disappointed I’ve seen that and won’t be able to buy this, anyone speak Chinese and can get DHgate on it?!

Doesn’t need to be a secret, he’s come a long way. I will genuinely be sad if he moves on.

100%, it’s like people who are dyslexic, ffs just learn to spell. or people with depression, just lighten up and pull yourself together. if I keep going I might get to a condition you or someone in your family suffers from. we can all disagree on footballing and many other things, but the arrogance of you to decided the whole medical profession and decades of research are wrong… Jesus wept, you really are a rancid, pathetic individual.

Not all bad, it might have got us out of buying Micheal Owen. I heard a story I think from dyer, that Owen even wanted to bet on who’s bag came off the baggage collection carousel thing first!

This is coming from a place of ignorance, but does anyone know if players are insured? Any chance this is covered somehow

It’s ok Todd boehly, reckons if we spread that out over 100 years, then he only misses half a month a year. Basically he gets the international breaks off. don’t know what the fuss is about.

This shouldn't be this difficult. we’re dealing with Saudis and Italians…. the right brown envelopes just need to arrive and this all goes away… get the lad off to rehab and get him the best help and have him back on the pitch by Xmas. bring back Berlusconi.

I’m a bit conflicted on this. i hope he hasn’t got a gambling addiction, which by all accounts is a horrendous illness with very poor recovery rates. In that case there will also likely be other mental health conditions beneath the addiction. the other scenario is he has been extremely stupid but doesn’t have a gambling addiction. I hope it’s this scenario and his agent (if the twitter screenshots I have seen on here are real) has decided saying he has an addiction is better all round. where I’m conflicted is that if he has got a gambling addiction that has damaged his career this much and will likely now be in a much worse mental state from all of this. There really should be no talk of him playing anyway. As soon as he isn’t required to attend court in Italy, he should be being shipped straight off to a rehab facility to monitor and help him now. hopefully he is getting the best treatment already and we just don’t know. But the agent can’t say he has a severe gambling addiction and him be expected to play anytime soon. The guys mental state will be shot to hell and needs immediate attention. To have all the money and support this guy has, and expect him to be sitting at home waiting to play our next game is nuts.

Must be some crossed wires somewhere?!

What’s that got to do with Paul merson working for sky sports?

It depends what he’s preaching though. Does he say gambling and betting should be banned? Or that he has a gambling problem and doesn’t bet and recommends those that need help get it? Im genuinely not sure what his stance is. For example I’m a recovering alcoholic. But I don’t want drinking banned. I also wouldn’t have any problem working for companies that profit or promote alcohol. If hes saying betting and sports betting should be banned or the advertising then yeah thats hypocritical

What’s the overall context I suppose. My memory is terrible, was the SBR statute before or after he passed or when he was terminally ill? joe Harvey I’m afraid is before I was born, when did his plaque go up? Does it pre date statues, were we broke when the discussions happened. Im sure if fans wanted one it could be done. keegan obviously needs to be celebrated in some way, but no Surprise nothing happened during the previous owners. I like the idea of a new stand and a statue. overall I think statutes should be consulted on with the fans, let’s not forget the Micheal Jackson one at Fulham!

I like the keeper shirts, but I wonder if they needed ideas down at castore and raided the pencil case….

Not sure I agree with him. I want the best commentator for the job. That doesn’t always mean they have to have the experience of playing at that level. I can’t say I would be unhappy watching a CL final and they invited an ex nufc player who hadn’t won or played in the CL. Sorry les Ferdinand, you’ve spoilt this. BUT, back to the best person for the job, I don’t support a token woman if she is terrible. Pick the best people, some of the women are fine. But like the men, some are awful. Just sort the quality control out. someone entertaining is just as important to me.
