Thought that was Bobby Gillespie at first!

WTF do they mean there's a "new bee"?

I've never heard #NUFC referred to as 'The Saudi boys' by anyone other opposition fans.

Similar to my view that English folk who watch NFL wear brown Merrell hiking shoes.

As if having Whee's Keys Louise on the Guardian staff isn't enough to suffer.

Yeah I don't disagree, although I maintain it needs desperately updated given that it's based on 2013 figures.

But if the question in the article was "Why haven't NUFC spent untold riches and won the league by now?" There's your answer and everyone knows it already.

I read that yesterday; there's a couple of sentences in the middle about PSR and the rest is pointless. That's the exact reasons why we haven't done a City or Chelsea, everyone knows that so I don't know why they felt the need to write anything else.

Dunno about you lot, but I'm not an expert in global sports sponsorship and so I've no context as to whether Silverstone could/should have done 'more' at #NUFC

David Hopkinson is though, and it seems he's seen enough.

Reckon he checked everyone's birth certificate, passport and immigration status before saving them? Or does none of that actually fucking matter in the grand scheme of things?

I seen some poll on Insta today where apparently him and Gordon came 3rd and 2nd respectively for most hated PL players, bettered only by the other Bruno.

Not here to be popular...

There's nobody to rotate with - clearly doesn't trust Kraft enough at RB to allow Trippier to move across to LB for league games. Last night you'd assume they think Tripps needs the rest more than Burn.

Reform are looking to recruit ecologists?

I think they're perfectly happy to be arseholes, however.

I initially thought he should have got it back off Gordon, but Barnes was the right option and so it proved.

Deliberate deprivation of funds applies to benefit entitlement and paying for care homes, so surely the same principle should apply here and they're treated as if they still have the money or assets?

I was actually thinking it's a lot simpler. Harsher but simpler - touches your hand and it's a pen, no argument, nowt about distance, body shape, intention etc. We'd soon get used to it.

It was only "controversial" because the PL chose not to adopt the same interpretation of handball laws as the UEFA competitions.

Nobody complained about it for our 2nd pen against USG did they? Wouldn't have been given in the prem though.

I'd suggest experts are very much a feature of science.

Tell you what, if that Tonali volley had gone in yesterday, we'd be talking about it for generations #NUFC

Different competition, different rules / rights?

#NUFC When you look at Ballon D'Or top 30 last night, it's pretty startling that Is*k isn't in there compared to some of the other entries.

Makes you wonder if his conduct has influenced the voting? ๐Ÿค”

Ideally yes, but I can't see Hall starting with his v limited minutes so far. Shame though.

Dunno like, rich old dudes seem to be giving it a good go.

November 2023 and still fucking whining on about it.

I mean, it was a nailed on pen. If they got help it was from that div of a Burnley defender.

Yeah, the Athletic article does point out that this deal would go into the databank for benchmarking other deals, so it raises the ceiling for everyone, in theory.

To my recollection, Elanga is the only one who's bucked that trend and gone straight into the first 11.

I did think that and fair fucking play to them if so, you've gotta admire the concept and execution *doffs cap*

I wouldn't even be angry.
