So ok to go to a football game but no to darts !!

Not breaking any rules !! Three lads going to a darts game isn't going to prolong covid !!

Thanks !! I went back & checked & you are 100% right.

I believe that is the buy out amount but the consensus is that with 6 months left on the contract it will be less.

It's related to that multi-billion dollar industry called the Premier League ! The clubs, owners, TV companies & related cling ons are worried that it may in some way affect their bottom line. The World Cup shuts everyone down but this is considered a second rate tourney that affects some clubs more than others ! Liverpool whine because they lose their top scorers & it may cost them money !!

When you give Kieran Trippier 175 a week it opens the door for all the 30 plus players looking for a last hurrah. It's a short sighted move.

Kieran Trippier is having a very average season in LaLiga & will need to get up to speed with the Premier very quickly. A move to Newcastle would represent a last big payday for him as a three year deal would put him close to 35.

The age old question of what constitutes a "big club" Is it history, league titles, domestic or European cups or just the size of the fan base ?? Glasgow Celtic feel they are a big club because of their world wide fan base & success in what is really a third class league. Nottingham Forest & Aston Villa cite their European success as an indicator. Spurs haven't won anything in years but are considered part of the top six & claim big club status. I don't have the answer but I do know that I personally don't have any respect for Souness or his opinion .

It's going to take some very smart moves to bring in the right players in January !! I realize the money is available but players chasing a massive pay cheque are not the answer. A top DOF is a necessity for a the January window.

He was but tapered off as the season progressed. I'm not saying that he is a bad player but I don't see him as a £200,000 a week player ! The club will need to be careful not to overpay for average talent.

I'm not sure that I rate Lingard that highly !! He hasn't looked too special for Manchester United so far.

Yes, He proved that at Bournemouth didn't he.. I understand he has "geeing up" on his resume as a special talent !

Bertrand is having a brutal time these days, not playing at all well & is struggling to make the team.

Fear is a good thing ! It's a very good motivator to succeed . I don't see Eddie allowing complacency to be a factor here.

Not a lot of top players are going to very excited about signing up for a relegation battle !! There will have to be a few clauses written in the contract.

I think this is going to be one of the toughest relegation battles that the EPL has seen. Some very experienced, quality managers will be involved including Bielsa !

And the answer was " No, its cause you're a twat "

That takes real tenacity !!

What I don't understand is how Bruce gets a free ride with the English press ! Normally when a Manager is spouting bullshit the press are all over him but not with Bruce. I know he's a good old boy but that normally wouldn't be enough.

It's free pour at my house. Nothing as small as a double !

I'll be watching in Canada, one pm start time for me. I think I'll mix a stiff Rum & Coke to enhance my viewing pleasure !

Why would any team agree to a contract like that. He was always going to be canned, it wasn't if it was when.

It's a famous line that reminds me of Bruce. Young man, listen to my 20 years of experience, to which the young man replied. You have one year of experience repeated 20 times.

I noticed that myself

Really. That's your response ! You are familiar with how VAR works inside the box aren't you. If you handle the ball inside the box intentionally it will be a penalty. Full Stop !
