  1. Well, here's a sorry tale. Late last year I made a small purchase in a shop of a couple of quid, didn't think anything of it but coincidentally, a month or so later the wife's card got scammed, we spotted it, got our money back quickly, card cancelled etc but as we were going through our bank account checking out for what was legit payments and what wasn't I spotted something from a shop that was £92 odd. When I checked where the shop was I remembered the small purchase and it isn't a shop where you could spend much so wasn't a scam. I went in the shop and saw what I bought and it did match up with what I'd bought but plus £90! So by this time the receipt was long gone so I went in, saw someone there who was one of the partners, showed them the part of my bank statement with the money coming out, explained what I bought, how everything matched up but plus 90, told them I realised it was probably just a mistake by whoever put it through and asked for the overpayment back. I gave them my details and asked them to look for their end of day receipts record, stock etc. No bother so far, the lass said they'd check it out and pay me if it tallied up, seemed genuine to be fair and she'd mention it to her partner. Here's where things start to go wrong. No contact for a couple weeks so I pop back in, this time the male partner is in, gives me some tale about getting on to it soon so I leave it that. Nothing happens again. I keep going back every few weeks and keep getting some bollocks about his card machine handling company not giving him access to the end of day receipts. A couple of times he was slightly cocky and I knew he was full of shit. Guess where he sounded like he was from? By this time the missus has checked him out through the power of women's Facebook stalker protocol and his timeline had loads of stuff such as mags 0-3 lads. So now I've went from being a bit pissed off with the fobbing off to full on, do I go in, turn everything over and stott his head off his till or do I go in, look down at my feet, being embarrassed knowing that I'm inherently inferior to him and fear a good kicking and apologise for pestering him? I of course decided to use common sense and tell him he has a week to get in touch with his so called receipt company problems or I'm taking him to the small claims court and basically telling him he was full of shit. He then told me to go ahead as that was the best outcome clearly thinking I wouldn't bother. Two months later a letter gets posted to me by him telling me that I'm owed money and could he have the details, please? he then spends almost a week not paying me before I get in touch again before he comes out with some bollocks about his solicitor forgetting to pay me and forgetting to sort the court details. (He obviously didn't bother his arse defending it). Anyway, I looked today and he's finally paid me back plus the small court costs. What a stewpid, thick MLF, morally sewperior bull's knacker. He can now update his facebewk account to lads 0-1 Mags. P.S. I also looked up his company and he's been fined before by the authorities for selling shit, out of date stuff etc. As Tammy Wynette almost sang, 'sometimes it's hard to be morally sewperior'. PPS. Maybe I should start a rival business up if the opposition is as thick as this mackem cunt?

  3. Putting Ashworth aside I just don't think this would have happened on Mandy's watch. Eales may have more experience in football but Mandy was a negotiator and proved that she could do deals but also knew when to walk away. The problem we had this summer was not knowing when to throw the towel in.

  4. If you read Caulkins spiel from the Athletic it’s a variation on this. They could’ve been working on deals for months as you suggest but when the TD is appointed just as pre season started that would have left the recruitment team in limbo for some time until they received some concrete direction. Tosin joined Chelsea on 7 June so that left a month till Mitchell arrived when very likely not a lot happened. The vain approach for Friedman before the season ended would’ve stalled things too. The point at which our window was doomed strongly appears to me was when Ashworth went on gardening leave. It wasn’t inevitable that it’d be a crock of shit at that point but with hindsight it can all be traced back to that point. Dealing with Parish at three different points in the window probably wasn’t a good idea either but again that’s probably down to lack of leadership/guidance. It was a fuckin mess from start to finish.

  8. They scored him similarly vs Forest too despite him coming on as a sub, not putting a foot wrong and scoring the winning penalty. I bet Burn was getting similar scores last season. We love to have some poor cunt to blame - and it's always one of our own.

  10. You watch Ten Hag in total denial in his interviews and press conference. At least Howe is honest about where we are - says the performances need to be better and that it's very clear that we aren't where we need to be fitness wise. He says there's a LOT of work to do in fitness during the international break. No bullshit, he knows what's wrong, just needs to sort it. He's asked specifically about Gordon and what's going on with him, and he says it's a fitness thing but he will be fine.

  11. Something to bear in mind with Gordon is that, due to the U21 euros and then the full euros, hes starting his third season in a row without a summer off in between. Yes he didnt play for england really but he was still having to do everything in the lead up to be ready even if he wasnt spending 90 mins on the pitch.

  12. Gordon definitely seems to be a fitness thing. You don't go from being one of the hardest working players to suddenly being half arsed. We're lacking sharpness all around, even Isak Bruno and Joe don't seem upto their usual levels. Fitness again as Eddie has said. Few people in here saying Tonali and Hall need to start. Completely agree on Tonali, that's a no brainer. I'm sure Eddie will do that if he considers him fit enough. But I'm not convinced about Hall yet, he looks very good going forward and his passing his way better than anything Kelly or Burn but he gets beaten very easily at times and can be a bit daft defensively. Maybe he really does just need a run of games but there's work to be done there. Contrast Tino who was outstanding defensively again. We do miss Trippier's passing quality and composure so I'd be tempted to play Tino on the left if Trips stays in and stays in favor. Really can't understate the importance of these results we've grinded out. There's a solid foundation now to try and address the issues and we'll have players coming back. The feeling around the club could have easily been very very different right now. It underlines again what a top coach Howe is and that it's paramount we keep him and keep him happy.

  14. I get the distinct impression she would've bollocked the daft cunt as well. (unfortunately/fortunately the court costs weren't too much but because he's delayed it, it's now on record for six years for creditors etc to see whereas a payment in time would have avoided that for him).

  21. Garnacho is only just 20 so you can probably add him to the list too. My point being, we probably shouldn't judge Hall too harshly. He's well ahead of most other players his age in the league and he might even end up a LW yet

  22. Worth remembering Hall is still 19. There's not many younger players in this league who are starting regularly for their clubs. Edit - I googled it. Mainoo, Ferguson and Rico Lewis the only others

  23. The Mag’s been shite for years but those adverts as well? It’s painful to read before you even get to the article, if you can call if an article. I love how these self appointed super fans think they’re entitled to answers as well. Proper toys out the pram, entitled, cringeworthy ‘I want a pony’ with nothing in the way of analysis

  24. Aye. I do feel for Howe having to front it all up - if he's "Head Coach" instead of manager, and someone else is in charge of transfer business, there should be a separate press conference at the end of a window for Mitchell to answer questions. And Howe should just maintain his "I'm not involved in the detail" responses whilst the window's open. But as for the rest of it, the bloke can fuck off. If he can't work out how we got in a PSR hole or why we needed to do what we did to get out of it, I'm not sure any answers will be able to help him.

  33. Part of the issue is that we're sitting deeper to protect Krafth and Burn, part of the issue is fitness/sharpness. Bruno and Gordon are the beating heart of the side and both look half a yard off the pace. To be honest, the whole squad looks like it could do with another two weeks of preseason to get that bit more sharp. That said, we've played a mix of teams and we're unbeaten in the league and league cup. It could have been much, much worse.
