I suspect it’s like alcohol (or any other addiction) though where you just can’t stop yourself. I’m not sure how a huge ban helps addicts. He’ll probably have loads of time on his hands now with nothing to do. I think you have to accept the punishment when you’re betting on your own team though.

Weren’t you the one vehemently backing Anthony Gordon early in the season? It took him about 6 months to look like a decent player here.

Don’t worry. Eddie will get him around his house with a tactics board.

Well, Toenail will soon have about a year on the training ground to get prepared.

We are basically playing with the same players as last season with a bit more cover. Tonali doesn’t get in the starting eleven for me when everyone is fully fit. He would have been extremely handy to have around the team though. Especially in CL.

Is Casey still saying it’s nothing to be worried about? 😀

Milan

I think he is. Would be good as the number 6 when Bruno leaves in the summer

Perhaps they had Toenail in mind to play the 6 when we agreed to the £100m release clause in the summer. Ballsed that right up now.

I think Hall is being trained in the ways of Howe. Barnes will be back in a couple of months. Livramento will be really be needed if Trippier gets injured I get your point though. None of the starting eleven has been improved. Tonali could well get a 1 year + here if the info coming out is accurate.

He'll be slipping his mrs a tenner to go down ladbrokes.

This is going to add an extra bit of spice to the Milan game though.

Or perhaps he was attracted to the more lenient betting laws in this country..

I think its more around whether he made a shady deal with Milan to come to us knowing he could face a lengthy ban. Of course we'll never know.

Palace tend to shut up shop against us. 0-0

Piss poor come back from you Gemmill. I was expecting something funny.

Lets not make any rash decisions.

Fining in them when they've blown all their cash seems counter productive as well. What's the answer?

If he did get banned for 3 year (which he won't), where does that leave NUFC?

Maybe an initial loan with option to buy is the way forward. He is also 28 in a couple of months so won’t have much resale value .

it seems like all rules are off the table here. I was about to say this is going to get nastier but I’m not sure thats possible .

If memory serves me correctly he didn’t play much in his last season with Leeds due to injury. That’s a long time without regular football. I like(d) him but I’m 50/50 on whether to sign him. If our aim is to get to the next level we need an elite 6 that will help us keep possession. I’m not sure he can do that.

He is doubling down on there being nothing to worry about. This could be his biggest gaffe so far.
