wormy

I don't know about anyone else but I'm just bored. No NUFC at the weekend has me feeling like it's an international break.

£12m would still be ridiculous relative to the compensation backroom staff ordinarily command. I imagine if we got Man U to agree to anything above £10m we'd snap their hand off. Hilarious if they needed to pay it in instalments, mind.

Really feels like Carragher putting 2 and 2 together to make 5 imo. It's like some people's weird obsession with the fear that because Howe signed certain players for Bournemouth he'll be gagging to raid half their squad for us now.

£15m for Ashworth and our replacement in place before the summer window all sounds a bit too perfect for my liking. Will believe it when I see it.

Post edited and I'm off for my time out. But for the record before I go, I'm happy to put my own name to the fact that Sir Jim has 70 year old touchy uncle vibes.

I wish I had your confidence in Labour.

Not to mention Carr was only involved in securing incoming players and had no involvement with sales, did he? So the fact we royally fucked up in getting full value for Cabaye is irrelevant to this ability to pick out bargains. As as scout he clearly had good contacts and a cracking eye considering he probably only managed to get Ashley to sign his fifth choice 90% of the time.

Wasn't on the forum back then so possibly misremembering forum lore but weren't there members on here that were pretty heavily behind that Hitzfeld campaign? EDIT: Was reading on the move and didn't realise Skeletor already said it was HTT.

Wasn't that Shepherd as well?

But we needed an authoritarian in to get the lads back on the straight and narrow! Maybe we didn't go authoritarian enough? Makes you think.

I would say I assume he paid for his interview too but fair play on the consecutive promotions. Anyone got any clue if Gulf United had significant backing compared to their league rivals or if it's a genuinely good job by him?

I knew it was coming yet I still burst out laughing when the highlight started. Looks like he learnt his powershit stance off Piers Morgan.

Thought this may be an interesting bump as we celebrate/commiserate our attendance/non-attendance of the final home game of the season. What were people's final results? After applying for every match, I've well and truly paid for my early season good fortune. Went from 6/10 success rate to 2/13. A total outcome of 1/3 can't be grumbled at really but it feels worse when they all came in quick succession and I've attended one match since the turn of the year. Wouldn't have minded them spread a bit further out (as long as I still got PSG ).

I'm telling myself Man City going out would've fucked the chase for 5th even if Arsenal knocked Bayern out so I can enjoy Arsenal's failure to the fullest extent. I don't know if the coefficient math makes it true but it's good enough for me.
