  1. Past hour
  2. Stop believing everything you read from football journos in the silly season man. They're just cycling through ways to get you to click on the links/tune int' t' wireless. Trafford has been rumbling on for ages and it's probably as much to do with Burnley getting a replacement as anything else, which means waiting for the other team to get in a replacement for their 'keeper and so on. Yes, it's frustrating that we've not yet been able to announce the signing of a raft of new players, and yes we really need the club to be more agile before and during the windows. That's a criticism that ultimately falls at the feet of the ownership. They should have had a replacement CEO by now, Eales has been one foot out of the door since the announcement of his illness. Mitchell was a misstep, no doubt, but it comes hot on the heels of Ashworth's unexpected departure so perhaps less due dilligence was done at the time? Either way, we will sign some players, we will likely be competing for the CL spots once more, and we've still got a very strong first team. Howe has us playing very good football. Oh and while he may get frustrated by the slow movement in the transfer window, he's still got way more control here than he would do at other clubs, he's got an excellent group of players to work with, his pick of staff below him, and the love of the fans. He's not going anywhere. You all need to fucking relax.
  3. Nah it's a load of shite all about the money. You can't fit it into the football calendar. We have the World Cup for this kind of country based comp as well as Euros, COPA America, ACON, AFC Cup etc. Then Champion's League, Europa etc and Domestic Cups through the regular. There's no room for anything else this is just cash grab bollocks with no meaning or legacy. Nice advantage to the big clubs and even the smaller clubs who managed to qualify. Chelsea qualified for it by winning the 2021-22 Champion's League 4 years ago. The NZ team in it qualify through the Oceania Cup which started as a Cup essentially between Australia and NZ, until Australia left to join AFC (Asia) in order to have a more consistent World Cup qualification path, so now it's NZ teams vs tiny island nations. Most teams are already amongst the richest in their country (if not the world) so it's another way to elevate them financially. It's soulless. Of course if we manage to ever qualify I take all of the above back.
  4. My lass won’t have them on, prefers the dub. Yet another reason that no court would convict me
  5. CT btw If we’d signed three players by now, he’d be waddling in worrying about PSR and having to sell Isak
  6. Thats true but when your manager is advocating for speed in the market, it’s not a good look. Last thing we need is another summer where you’ve pissed off the best manager we could possibly have
  7. The man is an expert in the field.
  8. there's some serious cases of fucking denial as well.
  9. Today
  10. Fuck me there’s some serious bed wetting olympics on display in here over the last few weeks We’ll be fine come start of the season.
  11. We were told by cunts in the media Trafford wasn't far off. Now Douglas is saying 'hopefully next week' it was supposed to be this week player wants to come. Stop fucking low balling them.
  12. The top clubs are also established CL clubs. But until those at the top of the club realise we need to spend at some point to become established then there's only so long Eddie can keep working wonders and he gets fucked off and so do our top players.
  13. Just yet another mechanism to divide people and set folks against each other.
  14. They're all minted though (one way or another).
  15. Yesterday
  16. I drink loads of water too, pints and pints of it. I’m fine through the night, but if I have one lager I’m up twice at least. Life fucking ruins everything fun.
  17. https://inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/money/pensions-and-retirement/scrap-triple-lock-pension-avoid-retirement-age-3782377?srsltid=AfmBOorlAA9z_DajefmuN3ocDjT-wcxP30L8_30fCrIphguGuf_RN2An IFS has come out and said we need to scrap the triple lock or raise retirement to 74. This is due to the lock costing an extra £40bn by 2050, due to an ageing population. They won't get rid of it now though because #boomerlivesmatter As I said before, Gen Z and Alpha will literally be tearing the country apart when they realise the degree to which they've been fucked over. Tbh I might be too at that point. As it's happening, I will ponder whimsically on how the markets might be reacting.
  18. Personally when I complain about the speed of decision making at this club it's got more to do with the lack of replacements for top execs, stadium and sponsor decisions etc. rather than just this window (for which it would be too soon of course)
  19. The American actors were diabolical in Squid Games 1. I’ve heard 2 is shit so I haven’t bothered with it.
  20. Arsenal have signed a back up 'keeper.
