Exiled in Texas Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 "Newcastle are the Richest Club in the world" Richest owners - YES, sure But not the richest club (probably Man U or Real Madrid - Richest clubs are teams who self generate their own finances) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 When people say "spunk" or "spunked" instead of spend or spent in regards to transfers. "We spunked £90m this window," "Man City spunked £100m on Grealish." *shudder*. Irks me to no end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Interviewing players straight after a title or cup win. FFS let the player celebrate and enjoy the moment. I'd sooner watch the celebrations and listen to the pundits talking about the achievements anyway at that point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clues in the next line "footballs coming home" I don't think people necessary misunderstand the original meaning in 96 , I think the meaning has just evolved - particularly since 'it's coming home' became a sort of meme for England's hope of winning the Euros last year.

Wolfcastle Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) Those generic temporary podiums that half the ground can't see are one thing, but at Wembley where there's goddam steps and a balcony!?! Generic tournament logos. Ciao, the Mexican chilli and the star spangled banner with a football on it would just be a green/white/red red/white/blue swirl of nothingness now.

leffe186 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 This sort of stuff: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/62373108 “Help us rank this season’s shirts” No. Do some fucking work yourself. Get a kit designer, a fashion designer, a marketer, an old-school fan, a kid - whoever. Just don’t put it out to exactly the same army of people who always vote on this shit and usually do so on club lines. At least I might be mildly interested in what the first group might say. Couldn’t really give the slightest shit about the second group, and I certainly wouldn’t learn anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) This hangover from the Ashley era where people seem to be doing a 'plays well=he'll be off to another club' equation in their heads, with what seems like a three week period of enjoying it. Would love to just enjoy our players, the ambition, and the future without all these Salacious Crumbs in my ear 'being realistic' Nowt worse than doom clouds on a come down when everyone's on a high.

Kid Icarus Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) I should say as well, it's not just our fans.

I get your point but it will always be the case even now when we're on an upward curve. Especially when it comes to someone like Bruno for example. He'd have dreamt as a kid of playing for Real Madrid and he's good enough for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes coming from outside I feel like I’m being the voice of reason telling people it’s ok, you’ve got a great manager and money, it’ll be fine. Then I look at how anxious I am about Arsenal’s spending, West Ham’s good buys etc etc. It takes time to recover from trauma . They’ll get there.

Guest HTT II Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) You will have the media, pundits et al trying to sell any top player like they’ve done ever since Sky existed. They were practically saying Rooney needed to move after only a few appearances. That’s why I don’t listen to any of that shite. It’s natural to expect that a player like a Bruno will be courted by bigger or more successful clubs, but I would just relax and try and enjoy him and if he does move, not to take it to heart too much. It’s about how the money gets reinvested, Coutinho left LFC, arguably their best player, look what they ended up doing with that money and what they achieved since.
