tbf to JFK - his heart attack paved the way for Chris Hughton to come in. It also settled the chin dribblers down who'd been crying for Shearer to be manager ever since we pied off Souness. So thanks for nearly dying in 2009 Joe, thanks for being a gold mine of comedy as DOF and enjoy getting mortal at the airport bar in the sky. (Probably as good a eulogy as he can hope for up these parts).

5-0 Bruno to finally get a yellow after squaring up to Maddison and hockling in his mouth after scoring two and setting up three.

I thought they were an openly racist party tbf. He's just annoyed they didn't take onboard his suggestion box idea of mandatory bed sheets with eye holes for all reform member meetings.

I mean you’re a bit late to the party, it’s been common knowledge since my first week. I'm just not very good at being an accountant, so I don’t go on and on about it in case people suss it.

Autistic? Because that’s the only vague similarity between me and Ben Affleck’s character.

I don't think it's all that strange as he clearly has the ability to get 30 goals a season for them (the only player in their team that can), so they can't really afford to bench him - but like you said I get the impression he doesn't get on with the manager at all and isn't willing to put the yards in to do him any favours.

That's a fair amount of effort to put into a game when you play for man utd tbf.

tbf fair he did tell the blackmailer personal info about fellow MPs....like it is in his phone.

"Tyne and WEAR, marra. What's your is ours, and what's ours yiz dinnit want. Wuh dinnit like yews mags until wey neeyd ti yews yi much better arkeytectural triumphs to get peypal inta sun'lin. Penshaw monument just doesn't have the same impact, marra"

Is Delaney still going? He does know that "the most wealthy can keep paying whatever they want" is bollocks, doesn't he? Business is still business, and even the most wealthy investors will (eventually) want a return on their investment. All this rule change will bring about is allowing teams with owners that have the means to invest large sums into their business to grow and succeed can do so, but at a premium - a premium which would then be filtered down to the clubs that don't, benefiting them to an extent too. Also, so long as UEFA don't bow to the pressure of the PL and make it a universal thing then their rules would still apply for European competitions meaning teams like Man City and his beloved Man Utd couldn't "spend what they want". The bloke is the worst kind of idiot.

I don't think it will matter, Everton will be taken over by 777 and they make Mike Ashley look like a sugar daddy

Villa look like they are staring a potential PSR issue in the face too so they may be open to it. Forest and Everton will surely vote in favour, as would we.

Also, none of them grasping that the PL rule changes would really only benefit any team not playing in a European competition. The teams in Europe would be bound by UEFAs rules so Man City would not be able to "spend a billion quid" as a number of the tateys on there are going on about.

They were all for gulf-state owned clubs until we became one

Adam Pearson is an AI generated visualisation of what goes on in Steve Wraith's head and no one can convince me otherwise.

If the money then goes back into clubs that spend below the agreed limits then it can only help teams like Luton or Sheff Utd too who come up with much smaller budgets too. Teams will still have to comply with UEFA's rules - so the big boys won't be able to take the absolute the piss and teams like us, Villa, Everton etc would be able to spend what we can afford to try and get consistently into Europe. Not sure why the bigger clubs (outside of Chelsea - who need this to get back into Europe) would go along with this though, they'll all be hamstrung by UEFA and it'll allow at least three clubs to close the gap and one of those clubs could afford to close it pretty rapidly.

Looks like someone stuck a broom stick up Stephen Hawking's back, give him a number two all over, put a nice suit on and propped him up for a photo.

aah'l punch yee yi divvy.

I'm not even thinking of Europe at this point to be honest. It's completely fucked us this year, but doesn't 8th get you fuck all, unless we get the extra CL place as a result of coefficient thing? In terms of Bruno, I think perhaps the CL would be the only thing that could keep him if we have teams like Man City and PSG sniffing around him in the summer.

He's really stepped up in his last two appearances in fairness to him - I don't think he'll ever be the most defensively sound LB in the world, but vs Everton he seemed to take on Trippier's role (albeit on the left), with Krafth doing more of the Burn, tucking in narrow to support the centre backs stuff. He's got a decent cross on him, and his corners looked dangerous at times.

I'd hand on heart take the current position if it means we don't get any more injuries between now and the end of the season. If we can somehow get some of those injured players back into the squad then we have a chance of mounting a challenge for 6th/7th but at this point 8th and being able to maintain the health of the currently fit players whilst drip feeding the recovered players back onto the bench by the end of the season would be good enough for me.
