Fulham are really really missing Mitro

This is a tragic example of Barclays

We’ve already dealt with the Saudi league. We sold them ASM. So we already have a relationship with one of their clubs and we have both benefitted from dealing with each other, money has changed hands between us. I don’t see why we should be prevented from recruiting players from there after this. The takeover being waived through was the biggest milestone passed with regards to our relationship with PIF and the state so for me anything after that shouldn’t have any problems. if market value is in line with what other clubs would be paying for KSA league players, there’s no sweeteners, no underhandedness etc then it’d be totally unfair to say PL clubs can buy KSA league players… except Newcastle. FWIW I’d question Neves’ motivation. He’s obviously gone for the money to what is ostensibly a start up league, as have they all, in the prime of his career. If we’d be expected to pay his wages then it’s a non-starter and I’d be unsure of a loan with an option to buy because I find it unlikely that he’s a long term target, and if not it would diverge away from our usual methods when it comes to scouting and recruitment. I’d fine it far more likely we’d go for Phillips.

I saw that he was eligible. You can play in cup comps v your parent club if you also haven’t previously played for them in that cup in the same season which obviously he hasn’t.

Chelsea are beatable. I just wanted a home draw.

They’re taking the piss here

Do the draw!

How were we set up when Trippier came on? Wonder if there’s a way we can get them both playing at the same time.

Just seen Eddie giving him an “injection” sign. Wonder if he’s having knee injections to get through games.

Miggy with the steering wheel celeb after getting a driving ban. Didn’t think he had it in him tbh ?

If they want him they’ll get what’s coming to them. Mike Ashley buys football clubs for one reason, to advertise his other businesses. If the club happens to have some modicum of success in the meantime it’s incidental, he doesn’t care either way. He’ll take as much money out of the club as he can and won’t put a penny in, he’ll treat the fans with contempt and make monumentally stupid football decisions that ultimately will relegate whichever club he owns so if he does buy them then it’s good luck and goodbye to Reading Football Club. Just seen he’d try and bring Pardew in as manager as well, god help them sweet deluded idiots.

This guys had more come backs than the undertaker

Dubbers Livers Fabbers Dummers Targs Longers Hallers Willers Almers Gorders Joers

Yeah, will be gone before Christmas

Hopefully he can be back up next season.

Yeah Livramento at least should have come on

Got a nervy feeling one of our 2-2 specials is coming up here ala West Ham this season and Leeds last. Hopefully I’m wrong.

Dortmund used all of their experience and have quality oozing, they played us like a fiddle at times. Having said that we should have had 5.

We are very very far off it at this level atm, just not even remotely competitive.

1-0 Dortmund

They’re absolutely tapped. You’re telling me PIF would have taken over Sunderland, promised to challenge for cl and trophies and to be a world power, would have put hundreds of millions into players, facilities etc, finally given them relevance on a national scale, literally everything they dream of, would have stuck it to the Mags, and that Sunderland fans would have said “aye not for us marra wuh too classy for that”. So they’d have protested, boycotted, and revolted against PIF to get them out because their morals aren’t for sale marra. They’d have exactly the same debate we’ve had which is “may not like the owners but they’re doing good for the club and city, and you can’t choose your owners”. They think they’re some special class of fan. Of course all their hypothetical rhetoric is just that because none of the stuff they fantasise about will ever happen.
