Palmer is absolute quality to be fair. And it’s first full season. Pretty incredible really.

 

He still looks like he is a bit of a twat though. 

 

The (alleged) fact that he's a bit of a twat is the main reason he didn't stay with us imo.

 

We didn't want to let him go, but he wanted game time.

 

 

It was a good deal all around to be fair.  He got game time, chelsea got a good player, we got a wedge & our academy got that extra boost.

 

We knew he was quality hence the £42m + add ons

 

He didn't seem like he quite fitted in our system, again, imo

 

We replaced him with Doku and we're doing ok.

Not having seen it it sounds more like pointing out that championing a percentage with this many games to play and so many teams and factors involved is rather pointless (but then so is most punditry) as it will change so frequently. I like the statistical analysis from games after the fact, but it needs to be consumed along with the match itself. Not a fan of the win loss draw percentages that they now put up in each match and with each goal scored. It really doesn't add any value.

Yeah. I thought it was a bit tongue in cheek and a reference to how one or two results can have a massive impact in the odds at this stage.

He's right, mind. Super computers analyse meteorological systems, they investigate the hidden mysteries within gene sequences, peering at the building blocks of existence.

 

You don't need one for this shit 

 

You can forecast probabilities on fucking Excel.

So let me get this straight, you are comparing the analysis skills of, arguably, the greatest striker this country has ever produced against someone who lives in the spare room playing with spreadsheets, AND coming out on the side of the spreadsheet geek ?

 

 

 

Yes. DID I FUCKING STUTTER?!

Gemmill's read Toonpack's post, and he's had a think, then he's typed out his reply and then bang, he's submitted it. /ShearerPunditry

By that token so are we. 

 

yeah, i think we should be thinking about challenging for top 5/6 now, given our run in, our form and the players we have to come back. it may be that chelsea rise as spurs fall away. spurs have some minging fixtures and that palmer kid os on fire for chelsea

Chelsea and Man Utd are near impossible to gauge. They're getting by on individual talent, but they've got players with loads of it. 

 

They can as easily lose to a relegation side as they can take points off a title challenger.

They could conceivably lose the next 4 on the bounce.

in short "whats the difference between chelsea selling themselves a hotel and newcastle seeling to saudi clubs"

 

so the suggestion is more that you're hard done by and chelsea getting away with it.

 

of course the chelsea hotels hasn't been approved yet!

talking about newcastle selling players to saudi clubs.

jordon claiming selling hotels is ok because it's easier to establish fair market value on property.

The premier league member clubs had a vote on it and decided to keep things as they were. Chelsea are using accountancy tricks that there probably isn’t proper rules around. PL closed the long term contract amortisation loophole and they’ll close this eventually . This isn’t a dig, but they closed the inflated sponsorship thing too. It seems they’re always two steps behind the curve…

Enjoyed Ten Hag having to tell Garnacho off for liking social media posts slagging the manager off for his treatment of the player. :lol:

 

That bloke is on borrowed time there unfortunately.

Aye, all those players we’ve sold to Saudi clubs with inflated values. I suppose they’re not exactly known for letting the facts get in the way of a story though. Newcastle have dove everything by the book and haven’t even looked to exploit any loopholes so far. There’s the issuing of shares but that’s legit and nothing other clubs haven’t done

Aye but Southgate replacing him isn’t necessarily an improvement.

Yep, looking forward to the next episode. The players will love Southgate but he seems very limited and hasn't exactly set the world alight in previous club jobs. 

 

Done well with England but with an absolutely incredible squad of players with whom he has limited touch points. 

 

Nevertheless! Brailsford knows best.
