I imagine that Dummett, Targett and Trippier will be off. Lascelles and Botman have their ACL injuries. Leaves 7 defenders at least for the start of the season.

If by 'interest from NUFC' you mean 'applied for the job at NUFC and went through a number of interviews', then aye. Sounds right.

FaceTime is banned in the UAE but it’s more to push you to use their services than anything else. WhatsApp isn’t banned. Google and Zoom all fine too as they have good relationships with the country.

And then you apply context. Those first 13 games were the hardest set of fixtures given the teams we were playing. Dubravka had a much easier run and let in many more goals. Respect some of the performances he’s put in for us over the years, didn’t like the Man Utd loan strop and hope he’ll be departing at the end of this season. That’s it really.

I suppose none of them are getting any younger to be honest.

Aye, all fair points but they could all have been made against Eddie ‘that bloke who got Bournemouth relegated’ Howe before he joined. This regime have had decent success at hiring the right personalities so at this stage I’d put my trust in them bringing in the right fit from that perspective and allowing them to become ‘best in class’ or whatever within the right environment.

27?

Aye just watched some clips of Boumsong. Probably not the best example 😂 Bramble would probably fit into it. I remember him having the attributes. Everything but a brain.

That’s how I define it anyway.

Because it could be from an unforced situation where they were caught off guard. The top defenders rarely do this. They’ll have a bad day at the office once in a blue moon because they’re still human, but it’s a different thing to just switching off at a crucial time. Boumsong was almost the complete defender but we were always expecting one stupid comedy error that was completely unneeded and unforced most of the time. Same with David James actually between the sticks.

We feel the same with hundreds of your posts m8.

Is it just fines? If so can’t we follow suit and take the fines? Or have any of these guys been ejected?

Surely Real Madrid, both Milans, PSG, Barca, Atletico etc aren’t at 70% for wages to turnover or whatever it is going to be. How can they run a competition where pretty much all or most major players are breaking that rule?

Every fucker except Chelsea are playing Palace away. Do CP only ever play at home now? 😂

If he was sold for 100m, what does that actually do for us in terms of spending? Does that mean we have 100m to spend over 3 years? No idea how it works. What a batshit system. Sell your stars to have to rebuild for the next half a decade.
