From links to Bale and Coutinho to right back to losing your best prospects to Udinese once the takeover falls through. Not going to be fun.

Aye surely this sort of thing, with the amount of legal effort and money that has already gone into the proposed takeover, has to have a defined timeframe for the PL to make their decision? Some sort of regulation? Absolute shambles this.

Sun shines pretty hard in Saudi as well to be fair

Plus it is NUFC so we can worry all we like thank you very much.

Cant help but feel it more with each passing day even though you keep telling yourself its just taking time.

Bloody hell that brings back memories

Who was it Steve Wraith that said a number of clubs were also on board with trying to block the sale? Seems more to do with upsetting the status quo than anything else. These stupid pricks cant fathom the idea of anyone potentially getting up alongside the likes of their precious Liverpool and "United". Might be acceptable for London clubs even, but not us. We're supposed to be the bunch up north who ungrateful for their generous owner because of delusions of grandeur. This is completely off the script and they cant get their heads around it. Pricks

Ha! I still find the outrage from these journos completely laughable. Some people are really truly pissed at the very real prospect of nufc becoming a powerhouse. Will make it all the more sweet. If it does happen

Not to mention he's wont be taking over at City or Barca. There is a huge amount of work to do here.

Could just be referring to your morning dump to be honest. Poch would be amazing. All these names getting thrown around man just think where we were a month back.

Great to see we seem to have kindled a moral awakening across the world, the sort of which has been mysteriously absent when we help the same parties in murderous wars across the region or sign hundreds of billions of dollars worth trade deals with them. What do these pricks writing these letters expect? That the premier league or even the government will say its not ok to invest in a football club in the country, oh actually just this particular club you may invest in others, but we're completely fine selling you billions in weaponry and directly aiding you in starving millions of children. And do they expect that people will ignore the background of the childish standoff between Saudi and the rest of the middle east with Qatar thats been on an off over the last few years? To the point of them banning Al Jazeera and Bein in their countries, cutting off all flights and trade relations, and Saudi sanctioning a project to dig a massive canal inside their border with Qatar so the country becomes an island Typical of this conflict that likes of Keys are now getting involved.

Always been more of a reader

How's it going lads

Unlucky twice off the post from 2 great strikes. What a dreadful bunch of footballers though. Darlow horrendous again. And struggling to think of anyone I've seen worse then Diame. Embarrassing.

Ashley made his intention to sell very public. Staveley did the same with her appearance against Liverpool. It was clear from the start that this takeover was not going to be a discreet one. Could be that neither party is interested in going to lengths to keep things secret rather than there being some clever ploy in play. Its sort of the way things are being done these days in football as well. Players transfer sagas and all. We're apparently only valued a little over Neymar after all

If the fat man has any sense, he'll see the necessary investment in January as a means of securing the value of his club with a view to any takeover. Not just money down the drain. Squad overhaul is not expected in any case. A move for a striker should be sanctioned at least with the above objective in mind.

To be fair taking the description of a 30 minute period of play, in a match thread, as an overall assessment of Rafa or the squad's abilities is a bit silly

Didnt compare him to Pardew ffs. Get a grip. IT WAS THE WAY WE WERE DEFENDING AFTER CONCEDING THE FIRST GOAL. For a while we were playing like one of his teams. Thats all. Dear God. Some context is needed, like. Good to know how much that prick is still hated on here though, the smallest of references enough to get everyone's panties in a bunch.

It was with reference to our falling apart after going ahead, and the nature of the defending. We all expected to get beat today but many were saying we'll keep it tight and competitive. Which we couldnt. We made silly defensive errors. Happens of course, especially against that sort of opposition. I was on about the way we were playing during that 2nd half. Not saying Rafa has turned into Pards overnight for heavens sake

We've missed Lascelles today. Have to take the positives onwards, good first half, good going forward. Murphy actually looked decent at times today. Need to pick up points against Watford and West Brom.

Stupid defending, tons of space, goals shipped left and right. Thats a Pardew team you little pricks Its a really strange game. We've played some very good stuff. Created chances. Scoreline is harsh but fact is we've been poor at the back.

Like I said, Pardew team now. Disgusting defending. Who was that Clark? Pathetic.

Some of the players look tired. Bring on Perez and Mitro. Take a chance. Nothing to lose.
